Open 836: Pick Your Poison (Game Over)

[Fun and Games]

how the fuck am i the same rank as n_m, dunn, ico slot, and sleepless?

lack of anything that feels distinctly towny from you post read purge
also, I'd probably most like to lim Dunn, N_M, or potentially SA
Datisi and DArby at least seem active enough to warrant a pass for today

You realize you're voting ico/darby, right?

[Fun and Games]

Active isn’t the right word
Should have said “engaged”

And given that you'rr currently voting ico why does darby being engaged merit a pass for the slot?

@ bingle the bolded + repeated 'and you already knows' felt townie to me

Why would town SA be more likely to remember Ico didn't respond to his vote than scum SA?

[Fun and Games]

Its the way he worded it, he seems annoyed at ico ignoring him

[Datisi]

okay, i just finished a thing i was hyperfocusing for the past 5 days

who is around to talk with me while i read this game

[Gamma Emerald]

Gamma Emerald
Almost50

PenguinPower

Not_Mafia

SirCakez

Dunnstral
Sleepless Assassin

Fun and Games (skitter30 & PookyTheMagicalBear)

Bingle

VP Baltar

Datisi
DArby Iconeum

Enchant

this is where my reads are sitting rn (I don't rlly have scumread, just people I don't TR)

- i think u should have scumreads at this point
- what do the varying shades of green even mean
- why are you townreading me/us
-out of all of the non-green names, ehy are you voting ico
- how are you reading sa?

regardless of which head this is, you saw similar play in radio buzz so this reaction of thinking this is out there for me to do is kinda bad?
bright green is hard TRs, darker green is solid TRs, green-yellow is meh TR
I felt like your interaction with penguin earlier felt like you were both genuinely trying to communicate but speaking past each other
that should actually be fixed lol VOTE: Dunnstral
SA feels slightly opportunistic but also kinda genuine, so like, around null

[Gamma Emerald]

Active isn’t the right word
Should have said “engaged”

And given that you'rr currently voting ico why does darby being engaged merit a pass for the slot?

~ skitter

basically similar logic to why I chose enchant over S_S in radio buzz: DArby could actually maybe town it up, I already think he's been decent so far

[Datisi]

i don't know why, but darby's 1188 and 1190 give me a scummy vibe, in a sorta cognitive load way? what i mean is, the answers to those questions seem relatively easy to figure out if you read the post that skitter is literally quoting there. and the fact that he's *still* asking for clarification there strikes me as if he didn't quite get it because way too many other things are on his mind (i.e. he be informed)

someone let me know if i am getting too biased here, but those two just pinged me as Wrong

also, i just thought of something

@skitter,

i believe all of the reads your slot has given on me have been from you? did pooky say anything abt how he's reading me? if not, could you ask/summon him pls?

Like a reads list or more events oriented kind of thing?

something focused in other players' alignments, but it doesn't have to be a traditional readslist. (this request may get rescinded depending on what i read in the next few pages.)

re bingle's 1196: right, thanks. it's just that i feel like i got a townread on you there very early on, compared to here i didn't. maybe it's those three effort cases you posted early game there.

[Datisi]

page 49 - i kind of get bad vibes from baltar being like "why can't you just explain your scumread, just do some bullet points bro" because it feels kinda like taking advantage of someone being stubborn and harping at lowkey nai things? but i'm not sure if it's actually nai? i cannot really disagree with anything he's saying

i think i have started to townread vp somewhere in the meantime, except for his tone which i still hate but what else is new

i wish iv was in this game

[Datisi]

You already know that I feel after he disappeared he avoided me after I voted him and tried to get people to join me.

oh yeah this was something i found townie

hmm

[Datisi]

Because it isn't a real read. If you have a real read on someone, you don't need a bunch of time to articulate it. If you have a real read, you KNOW why you suspect someone. If you're scum and faking a read, you don't have that natural recall because you're making it up. You don't believe what you're saying in the game, and you're worried that if you shoot from the hip, you might have said something contradictory before.

this is a post that exists i guess

i'm now thinking of this one event that happened in a different game where vp reacted differently as town but (1) it would take way too much brainpower to figure out if the two cases are actually comparable, which i don't have right now (2) i have already gotten yelled at this game for using meta too much

so i'm noting this on my "if i suddenly get an urge to *really* tryhard this game"

also, sidenote: i find it interesting how both baltar and sleepless are accusing ico of being scum with the other. i don't know what that *means* exactly, but it's something.

[Datisi]

baltar/sleepless/iconeum scumteam

where do i pick up my paragon scummy

[Gamma Emerald]

that would be a definite comedy option

[Datisi]

i am kind of annoyed that baltar asked me to actually spend 10 minutes of my time going through ico's iso and writing out a case to then have The Nerve to ignore it

[Datisi]

have y'all caught scum yet?

Who do u want to vote rn?

Also maybe we should think abt consolidating

~ skitter

at this point in time - i do Not want to vote myself, baltar, you, pp, a50 (should i be getting worried about his shitposting?), bingle (kinda good vibes but don't quote me on that), and sleepless (kinda sorta, mulling vp's case over, and wanna see what he comes back with)

i noticed cakez has been kinda doing Less as the time is passing by and i'm not sure i'm a fan

all of n_m / dunn / enchant are voteable if we need a yeet, + enchant is doing even less recently than before so i'm even more tempted to just get that out of the way early

and then darby and gamma, still not impressed with the first one and gamma has fallen off a bit in the recent times

will finish reading, look at a few isos, then figure out where to vote

[Datisi]

ok there wasn't that much until the end

my sleepless read feels like a mess

my reads in general feel way too weak right now, and that makes me think they're probably decently incorrect

Quality posting

[Datisi]

i appreciate that, but that's probably the post i least wanted responses on

[VP Baltar]

i am kind of annoyed that baltar asked me to actually spend 10 minutes of my time going through ico's iso and writing out a case to then have The Nerve to ignore it

It wasn't remarkable to me. I read it and walked away not feeling swayed either way by it.

[skitter30]

regardless of which head this is, you saw similar play in radio buzz so this reaction of thinking this is out there for me to do is kinda bad?

it was me, but pooky agrees
we both feel like your poe is incredibly flat and uninspired and like you don't really care abt pushing anybody in your poe, and don't like how you've been treating/interacting with the ico slot

I haven't seen you say anything remotely redeemable about DArby....so why are you wanting to change trajectory entirely?

[Fun and Games]

@skitter, i believe all of the reads your slot has given on me have been from you? did pooky say anything abt how he's reading me? if not, could you ask/summon him pls?

it's basically all been me, pooky says he's townreading you tho. i'm less sure

i was about to ask this when i saw vp did ^^^^

[VP Baltar]

FWIW, DArby's absence today isn't doing him any favors. I'm probably willing to compromise on that yeet if we need to in the next day or two.
