Convinced there is something going on within the Anatole/Espresso/Chaos triangle. Voting/suspicion wise both Chaos and Espresso are attacking each other and Anatole, meanwhile Anatole is going after Prof, who seems pretty staunchly town to me. #92 by espresso is particularly noteworthy and seems like a poor attempt to distance, especially as Anatole was under little pressure at that point and there seems no motivation for it from espresso (unless it was supposed to be #90).
Will leave my vote where it is for the time being and continue to monitor events.

It was supposed to be 90. You'll notice most of my posts are broken up into two or three posts on occasion. Bad habit, I know.

I meant "unless it was supposed to be #90" in the sense of I couldn't see how what you wrote in #90 formed a substantial basis for a vote.

PEdit: Welp. Alright.
I'll take my vote off of you if you take your vote off of me.
Some clear bargaining here

not to say that this one post is a substantial basis for a vote. Anatole retains my highest level of suspicion.
Prof. Fridays is my strongest town lean right now
SKoT still has yet to come out of his shell since his "pure RVS"
while I'm going I might as well throw out a few more reads...
uhhh... I'm uncertain about bjc. His playstyle confuses me. He seems to just bumble about, but he usually gets results
Clusk still has yet to contribute anything more than a single, unexplained scumread
Mark seems to be actively scumhunting, but I've got no real read on him yet
Chaos lord is slight scumlean to me right now
I'll agree that ABR is hiding in plain sight right now, and he's usually more talkative from my experience with him, so I'm throwing a FoS his way currently
that's pretty much what's on my mind right now. Anyone else?

This doesn't even make any sense. We have one ongoing game together and I haven't flipped. If I'm acting differently in two games, where you don't know my alignment, why would you throw me a FOS based on that?

Because he's grasping for air. I've never felt so good on a wagon.

I refuse to talk about ongoing games
people play differently in different games regardless of alignment. Having played since 2007 I assume you would be trying different strategies, and maybe even just fuck around sometime for the lolz. God help me if I play exactly the same every single game I'm in.

You're even actively confirming your lurk, since you only came out of your cave to post when I called you out of it.

Looking for a replacement for roflcopters.

It's Page 6. The game has 5 fucking pages. Are you REALLY going to call someone out for lurking? And of all people, Albert?

As he mentioned, he's in another game with me. One where he's been graciously posting, you can ask him yourself. If it weren't for that I wouldn't be calling him out on it.

Because I'm
sure
he has so much to talk about like everyone else in this thread, right? I mean, what couldn't you talk about?

You sure seem to talk a lot about me, maybe you could convince him to do so as well.

He's content with where he is. I'm content where I am. If we weren't content, then we'd do something about it.

I don't think Albert can be reasonably called scummy for "lurking."

Still somewhat unsure on Espressojet. His list of reads seems pretty NULL to me *wink*

Alright kiddies, honestly, we need this show on the road.
I hate to be the person who's driving the bus but somebody's gotta do it.
Espresso wrote:Basically I was going to agree with Prof. Fridays, with that being my original suspicion.
This is Espresso putting a scum pointer on SKoT.
Espresso wrote:In other news, Prof. Fridays has done no real scum hunting, so for the time being...
Then, this is Espresso putting a scum pointer on Prof. Fridays...whom he originally agreed with less than 20-40 posts ago.
Espresso wrote:Oh? Then let's just have all the VT replace out, and the people who want to stay are obviously pr/scum. Have all the PR claim and badda-bing badda-boom, we win!
Or you could be right, it might be possible that it's because he has a life outside these forums!
Then, within a span of another 40-50 posts, Espresso changes to Anatole.
Now he's targeting Albert--not to mention that Prof. Fridays is now one of his top townreads.
The extreme disarray of Espresso to just change his reads at the snap of his fingers is really bad. Especially considering this is Page 6 and not Page 20 or 30.
The worst part has to be the Fridays post. Not only is he voting someone he
just
agreed with but he's also voting someone who's starting to gain traction from a wagon (to be fair, this is a stretch to say the least but myself and others were willing to vote Fridays after his first post while Espresso was voting in agreement with him for it)
Then we have these posts:
Espresso wrote:bjc, why do you think SKoT is scum?
SKoT never answers and you never respond. Why did you ask this question if you really had no intention of figuring out the answer?
Espresso wrote:I don't actually think he's scum
Okay--but here's where there's a big problem with that.
Espresso wrote:Yes, a truly random vote that contributes so much to the beginning stages of the game! Finally!
This is an actual accusation. There is no hint of sarcasm but you don't actually think he's scum?
Is that why you vote him too, after two people already do the same?
If you didn't think he was scum, then why did you vote him?
Hiraki wrote:What does this have anything to do with what I said?
You never answer this and I feel that I need to address this now since I'm in full-on attack mode.
It doesn't matter if it's RVS. You were being a hypocrite about something against another player. You are actively being scummy and you don't seem to care. If you did something with a couple dozen exclamation points, then I'd totally get it. Everyone would understand that you were just joking around to make a comedic gesture in the early game. I've done it, other people have done it, you may have tried to do it but failed. I don't believe that quite honestly.
Espresso wrote:I refuse to talk about ongoing games
I'm going to let the mods handle this one. You already jumped into that fray, bud. And not in a good way.
