Mini 1630: Edgar Allan Poe uPick GAME OVER!

[fferyllt]

Vote Count 1.3

Now happiest, loveliest in yon lovely Earth,
Whence sprang the "Idea of Beauty" into birth,
(Falling in wreaths thro' many a startled star,
Like woman's hair 'mid pearls, until, afar,
It lit on hills Achaian, and there dwelt)
She look'd into Infinity—and knelt.
Rich clouds, for canopies, about her curled—
Fit emblems of the model of her world—
Seen but in beauty—not impeding sight
Of other beauty glittering thro' the light—
A wreath that twined each starry form around,
And all the opal'd air in color bound.

All hurriedly she knelt upon a bed
Of flowers: of lilies such as rear'd the head
*On the fair Capo Deucato, and sprang
So eagerly around about to hang
Upon the flying footsteps of—deep pride—
**Of her who lov'd a mortal—and so died.
The Sephalica, budding with young bees,
Uprear'd its purple stem around her knees:

* On Santa Maura—olim Deucadia.

@PurloinedLetter: Is it the guy who left flowers and alcohol on Poe's grave for all those years?

Otherwise I don't know.

[PurloinedLetter]

Yup, tis the Poe Toaster.

I love a good wagon.

*Points at Kthxbye, then at his head, then at LynxKuroneko, then gives a thumbs-down, all the while maintaining her quizzical gaze*

[copper223]

Only use body language?

[LynxKuroneko]

Pfft. Keep calling me scummy without substance behind the words. Makes you look great.

I, on the other hand...

[fakespeare]

Poe did at one point write a sonnet called "Silence," so that could potentially be Krystal's restriction. Not allowed to speak, only make gestures.

@Krystal: Can you give a thumbs-up for yes and a thumbs-down for no in response to direct questions? If so, please respond to this.

Dear sweet lord you are so scummy. And yet.

Is there a no jester guarantee here?

Eh? This resembles his posting in lucky star exactly zero amount thus far, what are you on

[LynxKuroneko]

I could easily call you scummy simply based on your baseless slandering. Try harder.

Mod: Edgar Allan Poe's name is misspelled in the title.

I'm now getting a sense of why you seem to drive Antihero crazy. :S

-TTH

[CaskOfAmontillado]

I also didn't find it and Kristal likely has a post restriction involving facial expressions, eyes in particular.

Lynx does seem pretty scummy though, did you roll Jester m'boy?

Let's talk about this for a second. Expound on the Lynx scumread.

-TTH

[Medea the Alien]

Well I was going to walk in here to yelll and ceph and reign orcinus back to the driver's seat but then lynx kept posting and ???


PL gets no townpoints for that opening, he literally went down the "what makes morph townread something on the first post" list and checked every box as he went. Which seems too deliberate and targeted at me?


P-edit: I expect some amusing walls in response from copper, now having played with him once and seeing his style.

[PurloinedLetter]

My lovely hydra partner just pointed out to me that kthx wasn't talking about lynx in the post I scumread him for, but about krystal bald. Luckily, copper is almost doing the exact same thing I was voting kthx for; discrediting lynx and blaming the wagon on lynx by asking if he drew jester.

VOTE: copper

I like medea.

Dude, not sure what you're trying to say here. If it's why I'm on the Lynx wagon, well, that's easy. It's the largest wagon and I love me some large wagons....but.....

Krystal, pls tell me you have some sort of post restriction and you aren't just being obtuse....

I don't like this post. Lynx, though scummy, looks like lynchbait and this is classic scum trying to shift the responsability for the vote onto the target rather than on himself.
VOTE: kthxbye

And kudos to whoever can tell us what our avatar has to do with the today's theme.

Pff, I don't even know.

-Tier

Wanna try again?

First of all, what about my post that you quoted is "classic scum trying to shift the responsibility for the vote onto the target"? I mean, this doesn't even make sense.

Second, explain to me how Lynx is scummy today? I actually haven't even seen anything scummy from him. So in your own words, how is Lynx looking scummy? After that, how do you say he's scummy then call him lynchbait? This doesn't compute.

I also didn't find it and Kristal likely has a post restriction involving facial expressions, eyes in particular.

Lynx does seem pretty scummy though, did you roll Jester m'boy?

Same question to you copper. How does Lynx seem pretty scummy?

A daystart pm would have been nice.
Egopost.

There was in fact a daystart pm...

Secondly, we have an ability to send a message to town after we die. I personally suspect that all townies have this ability and I just wanted to claim it first to get that sweet sweet towncred.

Nope, but the fact you post this specifically (and your overall posting in general), means you're a high town read as is post restriction'ed Krystal.

p.edit: Purloined, guess that answers the first question, but I'd like you to answer the second, but this time AFTER copper answers.

[Policy Vote]

Daily posting

Also on the topic of towncred, we totally thought we were SK and were confused for a long while.

*Rolls eyes*

You can express actual opinions, I allow it.

Is there a sample VT role pm?

Why did you want this, please?

how do you read this? Do you think FTL is scum for it?
I’m snapreading Bookitty as town

Is there a sample VT role pm?

Why did you want this, please?

I also didn't find it and Kristal likely has a post restriction involving facial expressions, eyes in particular.

So I find it suspect that you choose to express this opinion and then not elaborate on anything ie you don’t ask Kristal any questions, you don’t say whether or not you find the act alignment indicative, you don’t really seem to be doing anything with that actual act, besides tossing out the idea that Kristal is pretending to have a restriction that she doesn’t have, so that’s scummy because you’re not trying to determine alignments

I’m actually townreading lynx because this doesn’t look like Advance Wars. Then again, nothing /really/ looks like advance wars

Only use body language?

Oh gosh it continues!

I agree with all of TTH’s votes so far

PL gets no townpoints for that opening, he literally went down the "what makes morph townread something on the first post" list and checked every box as he went. Which seems too deliberate and targeted at me?

Hey so what you’re saying is that I wrote a super townie first post and it was too townie for you to townread?

Because that’s the sort of shitty excuse scum use to not townread me

And I’m not the biggest fan of you trying to look tryhard in a really coerced manner

[Policy Vote]

oops i was asleep hi, this is egopost.

I'm also fairly certain this is a lie

[PurloinedLetter]

@kthx: Well, seems like I was just in time with that post

I don't think krystal has a PR.

AND I DIDNT GET A DAYSTART PM OKAY

Kthx, are you saying that you have no reason other than wagon to be on lynx? Do you see any scummy players as of yet?
-Tier

[Medea the Alien]

That was two posts. And is this gonna be advance wars where you keep prepping cases on me until ffery tells you i'm a mason?

[Policy Vote]

I could easily call you scummy simply based on your baseless slandering. Try harder.

Worth noting, I don't actually have a huge scumread on Lynx here. I was going to keep that to myself but I guess if orci is going to disagree with me openly then that pretty much relieves any pressure on him from our slot anyway. I think I'll be able to read Lynx eventually and am not actually that worried about it right now. Goddamn that guy is lynchbait and a half though, literally every post is prima facia scummy if I was a level zero player and all that

Well I was going to walk in here to yelll and ceph and reign orcinus back to the driver's seat but then lynx kept posting and ???

Kthx, why is having a PR town? Even if it's real (it probably isn't), there is nothing preventing scum from having PRs.
