Hello.

This is bad IMO:
In post 1573, xofelf wrote:Did Frogstarking just pick two names they recently saw post and interact and go "RNG gives me those two, let's go all in"? Like come on, you're probably better than that(idk since I don't think we've played together nor have I seen you around much). Good luck on getting a meta read, I don't play a lot, though a lot of the people here I've played with before and I roll town almost all the time, I don't think most of this playerlist was even on site the last time I rolled scum or third party so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

Now back to my isoing.
VOTE: xo

It looks performative to me ("...back to my isoing") and I can see xo!scum angling this to buddy up with dann!town against frog!town.
Lol no. I had said yesterday that I was planning on doing a couple iso-dives to untangle some people so I had a clearer vibe on them. You just happened to replace in in the middle of that and I paused long enough to respond to a post that you made, but went back to the last one I said I'd do today.

I just found your entrance odd.
Is this something you normally do as Town?
Bruce: Terry. I've been thinking about something you once told me... and you were wrong. It's not Batman that makes you worthwhile; it's the other way around. Never tell yourself anything different.
Terry: ...Thanks.

from modding newbie games, i recognized a pattern of people replacing out when it becomes too overwhelming to reassert yourself as town

however i want to

VOTE: ConManMick

because i did not like that first post at all


however, i want to note in doing so i still find relly sus and his responses on the last page did not really move the needle for me
In response to your previous, I threw down a vote because I think it's a waste of time to be not voting, especially when there are no near-elim wagons.
I read the first 15ish pages last night when I requested the slot and a couple of folks are on my radar, off the top of my head joining in Datisi was most memorable of those so sent it there.
Question is:
If my slot flaking is nai, and you only dislike my first post, why is it better to vote me than stick to your read that you've mentioned on irellephant, which I presume you have developed far more over the preceding 60ish pages?
Would you say you are typically a composed person?
Yeah I don't know, that's not really for me to say. I might like to think so. Why?

Yeah, when I have the time to do so, I look at people in isolation just like I did today. I just don't always give the list of who I'm looking at before I do so.

I thought your reaction was so scummy that it probably comes from Town. I'm waiting for others to confirm/deny you act this way as Town.

hey frog. you are like legit scumreading XO, right?
Of all tyrannies,a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

I think I have played with xof before and this is fairly typical play, I still wouldn't call it townie though and iso dives can be very performative, esp day 1. So, soft agree.

That quote is one of my issues with Nero. It's very wishy-washy and seems to be ignoring a very obvious next-step that could be used to determine whether that is AI for xofelf or not.

I think as far as reactions to my entrance goes I liked HEM and Nero Cain

I expected Guilty Lion to want to engage with me more. It felt like he waited an obligatory amount of time to see what the vibes would be and then moved back to my wagon. And I sort of expect GL to be the type of player who likes to sort every player for himself
