P-edit I don't want you to be Bella like? I'm saying that I'm surprised at how difficult I am finding it to read you this game.
Can you explain a bit about how you are reading me right now?
Is it ok if I do this in the morning? It'd really help me actually If you could give me a few sentences about where your head in the game is overall - what do you think is going on with the wagons, any replacements that have shifted your thinking, anything that's stood out as particularly scumny/towny, etc.
I don't mind if you do it later, I'm just not understanding why you've had me as scum all game. I've seen little effort to reevaluate and you are not including me in lists like in 3707.

What I think is going on with the wagons is that most of the town is playing too passive which makes it hard to do anything until they feel more pressured by the deadline.

I am unpopular

Pooky is popular

Therefore I die

Hence why I never want to be voted as any alignment

Once I get voted I am almost always elimmed

Like, yes. Pooky was calling you scum.

But there was also multiple slots defending you. Off the top of my head, Me, Both heads of Dancing Puppets, OTH all made posts about stopping your wagon.

The thread did not need 10000 posts from you arguing with Pooky.
It does

Pooky says someone is scum

That’s it

They’re the elim
Like, even though I think that you are town, I am telling you that your current argument is pointless and making the thread both harder and less enjoyable to read.

There are two worlds:
-Pooky is town and genuinely believes his read on Corwin. You arguing with him about corwin's meta will never change that. You looking town by trying to catch up, and working out your scum reads would.
-Pooky is scum, and just wants to kill you off. You arguing with him over it is pointless, because nothing you say will ever give him reason to change his read.

Frankly, I would rather just vote you myself and kill you off of the game then sit through 10000 posts of you arguing with Pooky.

Please take a step back from the thread.

In post 3656, Lukewarm wrote:As I read through tonight, and saw it happening, it felt like there were two people actively trying to keep the Math wagon alive after I abandoned ship. Pooky and Klick.

When I look back at how the two of them treated the slot, Pooky has had Corwin as a scum read for a while. He was scum on his reads list post, and scum in both spread sheets.

Comparatively, Klick did not mention a scum reading Corwin a single time until after I started my attempt to lead the thread. "Corwin" appears in Klick's iso in exactly 5 posts. Here is the progression, interspaced with when I first started trying to get people to move to corwin, and when I unvoted.

Spoiler:

Corwinoid

In post 2061, Lukewarm wrote:After doing some reading, I am narrowed down where I want to move my vote to either Corwinoid and The Toad, but struggling to decided between the two.

Maybe they should just be dueling wagons?

This is probably because Corwin/MathBlade is just a scum slot and should die today

VOTE: MathBlade
In post 3302, Klick wrote:I don't really think Corwin's body of work looks like scumhunting, it looks more like projecting reads into the thread to look like he's scumhunting


No comment on Corwin.

I say we should wagon there.

An unoffensive join. "small scum read"

I say we should not kill Math

Now, the language is that the slot is "just scum and should die"

-----

Klick's engagement with this wagon reeks imo
Honestly, Klick has been on every wagon I think? Don't quote me for sure, but in my mind Klick just pops in to see what's popular and gets on it. Part of me thinks 'okay, Klick ain't posting much' that explains it. But you're right that the engagement isn't there.

Dunn is likely to be town so...yes. But also teasing that you have a partner is super weird.

I've hardcore skimmed the last however many pages and read MathBlade's ISO, and he just looks lost to me. Can you explain what were DNA's reads, and what are yours - I remember Bell and ...? Summarize the hood discussion for us plz, that might help me see why you're townreading DNA. Also how caught up are you

Is Klick still town? What's the VC? I don't know anything anymore
