Open 862: Diffusion of Power (Game Over)

[BlueBloodedToffee]

LOL.

Jake is scum.

[Jake The Wolfie]

LOL.

Jake is scum.

I thought I already admitted to this. I'm not sure why you lot haven't already killed me yet.

[BlueBloodedToffee]

I'm not sure either.

[Gamma Emerald]

we're waiting for goldfish's replacement.

[BlueBloodedToffee]

It's clear you're lacking motivation because there is big pressure on you and you don't want to waste time faking a catch up as scum only to be elimmed anyway.

It's OK. I understand.

[NorwegianboyEE]

The amount of contradictions coming out from Jake's mouth is funny...

Lololol, I knew it. I first told Andante, good luck parsing Jake because he’s unreadable, then it only took a few posts for me to tell her, I’m pretty sure he’s scum.

IIOA #3, up to page 18

• :shifty:
  
• Gamma getting right down to Brass Tacks here with important analysis and questioning is a great sign, but it also feels a little surface deep right here. Our reporters will have to get back to this.
  
• I've missed Somnus since their disappearance in season 2. They feel a lot better in this season right now.
  
• I don't understand why Somnus is getting lightly scumread here, I guess I just don't see it or something. Maybe someone else can explain it to me.
  
• Norwee/the late Ausuka's interation felt like they were both townie there.
  
• 356 is strange to me. BBT, why did you choose to end your part of the conversation here?
  
• re:265 Of course! A day 1 elimination is commonplace and the fact that it did not occur is a travesty that shall echo for eons in this site.
  
• My brain is melty on page 16. Whaaaaa
  
• Aaaand the reports have gotten back, Gamma is not as good as first reported! Oh well, at least they are above the null line.
  
• :shifty: x2
  
• What the hell did page 18 devolve into? I completely lost track if it.
  
• Ali has been previewed for season 4! How joyous.

[Jake The Wolfie]

Season 4 of "Jake tries to not go insane by listening to Anarchy Rainbow while reading the equivalent of the tax code, starring Big Man", up to page 6x = 24

• BBT's pagetop here feels pretty bleh. Like, it's probably null, but it could have been more concise in what you wanted Ali to read and respond to. Bleehhhh
  
• I'm not entirely sold on this "Person is scum because their timing was bad." Like, I've played as scum before, and let me tell you, scum chat is dead silent for like 90% of the game. There's no grand sceming behind the scenes. It basically amounts to small talk back there. Also, as a scum player, you don't just pop in when the heat is on. It just appears like that whenever you call them scum and shortly thereafter they appear. It's confbias, and would not be pointed out if the called out scum were to show up like an hour later when the convo died down.
  
• Yes this deserves two bullet points, yes I am still ranting about this. It's bad play, and yet everyone seems to just take it for granted that if you call a scumboi scum, you can summon them like a demon. That's not how this works, what was more probable is that you and them share a timezone or general time to play the game, so it would be a no-brainer then that they would show up after you called them scum.
  
• Ugh, I do not feel any better after typing that out. But back to the main focus, I don't think it's particularly AI from anyone, particularly nancyslot or BBT, to make this observation.
  
• The thing I can blame nancyslot for is a general "Respond to this wagon that's on you!" Like, what exactly would you like a response on? Where could one find more information? Was there anything in particular that you wanted looked at? Have some scumpoints.
  
• re:464 I don't find this scummy. Clearly, there is something that the people around her are wanting from her, so surely it would make sense for her to then ask those people what they were looking for, yeah? It's not really scummy to ask "Hey y'all, you're voting me. Could you pointers me to what you wanted from me, my dudes?"
  
• I disagree with nancy in 474 for similar reasons as above.
  
• Whew, Page 19 is done, man. Only 5 more of hopefully not the same.
  
• 479 feels bad, it assumes that Ali must know what has already happened in the game, and doesn't give any credit to other possibilities. There's no reason to believe that Ali knows anything between her leavance and her pop in, so to conjecture that she does is unfounded.
  
• Oooh, and there goes Ali! Not much interesting happened between then and now, nothing that caught my eyes, anyway.
  
• re:576 If you have a problem with it, then interrogate Gamma as to why they think a post has bad vibes, or what that means to them.
  
• Adante doesn't feel that good to me. I'm not sure if it's because they're scum, or because they just have pride.

God, that was.
Time for a seasonal readlist, and it only comes up once every season!

Scummy

[Gamma Emerald]

you respond to a wagon on you by addressing the reasons people have for voting, that's what I think nancy/andante wanted?

[BlueBloodedToffee]

Jake, would love some expansion on those Penguin and Bella reads.

Sure, what did you have in mind?

[BlueBloodedToffee]

Just, you know, some general thoughts on them and their placement in your list.

[Jake The Wolfie]

They haven't had a strong enough impact on my radar in the first half of the game, I don't really feel strongly about them either way.

Sorry if I seem a little thin here, I don't really have a good answer for why I nullread someone other than "They haven't done anything noteworthy"

[Enchant]

24 hours passed!

Did you miss me? Of course you do!

Also why Goldfish is gray in this readlist, but not Somnus?

[BlueBloodedToffee]

Do you find that scummy?

For clarity, do you think scum try not to make waves and draw too much attention?

[Enchant]

Wait what gray even means

[Jake The Wolfie]

As far as I'm aware, Goldfish hasn't even posted yet. I would find it extremely difficult to read someone who has failed to speak a single word.
With the above in mind, they make for an excellent nullpoint, and are thus painted in grey

Do you find that scummy?

For clarity, do you think scum try not to make waves and draw too much attention?

Not especially. I'm no expert, but I think that scum have a wide variety of plays that they can and do make. If they were to be put onto a wagon and forced onto my radar (or if they were in a past that I haven't reached yet) then we could evaluate them better. Right now I'm unconvinced either way.

[BlueBloodedToffee]

Bella was first to vote Ali after noting scum reads from myself and Ausuka.

What do you think about that?

What do you think about Penguin's lack of scum reads?

Checking in on the first, it didn't really seem like they were saying that, unless you weren't referring to 205. In case you were, it seemed more like they were dissatisfied with Ali's interaction with Ausuka and you.

Penguin seemed to imply in 1081 that they wouldn't just give their reads away for free. I don't know why they would do that, and I would like an explanation for it.
My thoughts on it are that they probably do have those reads, but just aren't sharing them. Also, they may just be bluffing here and they just don't have many reads, which would be scummy. Overall I think that until they explain what's going on over there, they can be knock down a few points.

Wow that misrep…it taste good?

[BlueBloodedToffee]

I think both myself and Ausuka showed some light suspicion of Ali before Bella's vote. I'd have to go back and check to see if I'm misremembering though and I really don't want to that while I'm phone posting.

What I'm saying is that scum!Bella possibly saw the potential for an Alianna wagon to take off and made the first move to secure their position on the wagon.

[BlueBloodedToffee]

Colour me surprised if you have stated scum reads anywhere in thread.

Notice it's plural.

[PenguinPower]

Well - when one generally states their town reads, scum usually resides in the group that is not in those reads. Usually.

Shocker! I know.
