We thought the spoiler= tag posted catchup walls were actually way more insightful and deep than first impression, mostly.
Spayhalf drove that read, I'll let her elaborate.
This is my first game with Flea, but I've spectated a few of faer games. Watching a game vs being active is never an identical experience so some of the shine I feel for Flea here could be an artifact of being immersed in this game instead of a desultory spectator in the grandstand. I feel a lot more in sync with faer's game thoughts than I anticipated.
I would like more insight into this
faers entire ISO up to faers multi-spoilers were pretty much exactly the kinds of posts that I haven't liked when reading along as a spectator in other games. I was expecting to have faer below the line of elimmability when I finally did a full sort of the player list.
Stuff fae posted in that catchup that I liked (like doesn't mean agree, necessarily, but it does mean I can follow why fae has that stance/opinion and can see it coming from town):
- the Bell trajectory in 883
- the pushback about MC's statement re "people" giving scum-LLD a pass in 884
- also the TSQ turn of phrase fangirling in that post. not directly AI, but feels really light, easy and unfettered.
- faers reaction to LLD's thoughts about Dunn pushing faer in 885 and then confirming the "rubber chicken" characterization (in faers own words) shortly after in a reply to Guill
- expression of "the heebies" to Guill's "when I flip town" interaction with Dunn. This is a reaction I disagree with, but I *get* that it can come from town-I-disagree-with

I suppose it works best
To bloc and not be single
So I guess this is the time
For me to VOTE: Bingle

I'm very sure I'll be told that I'm acting unreasonably but I really don't feel unreasonable.

K. The marathon game is over now.
I just had one of the least pleasant experiences I have ever had playing mafia in my entire life.
In which I was invited into a dance game as the 9th player, and in the course of essentially 5 minutes of a deadline, the game had already been over and I was without a partner because players had essentially already decided what they wanted to do.
I don't know why I was invited to that game just to be ostracized, but I was especially bothered by how I was told that it wasn't a big deal.
It hurt me a lot. And Bingle was a player who had a pre-planned partner going into the game. He contributed to the worst feeling I've ever had playing Mafia on this site, I think, and I'm kind of really just angry.

We all have our fights
Some wrong, some right, but no doubt
Just keep up the fight.

We're good with our vote based on our own read/interactions with Bingle (damn cracker crumbs everywhere).
If we were voting with you only because of the strength of your read/strength of our townread on you, we'd be reconsidering.
And I'm really sorry you wound up in an awful game situation. <3

I am not the brightest bulb Wheme.
Anyway, I only really want to vote Bingle if they're scum(as in mafia).
I'm having one of those moments where I don't want to vote NDmath because he tends to flop over and can be a LHF town or actually scum.
I did not like his focus on entry.

In post 1117, Bell wrote:It's really common for people to just decide what they're going to do and ignore people though.
Also, I just realized that morph the cat's avatar is fucking themed after this game.
Just wow.
We usually dress up our avatar for game themes.
You didn't notice the psychedelic av in Illicit?

I just retroactively put that together. But at the time, I just thought that was your normal background.

I don't like either wagon, but the response on me suggests I should like one of the two wagons. Ugh.
