i also mentioned how i wanted to hammer baltar, so... it's just me going over the thoughts that occurred to me while i was out on a walk. not any super strong cases i'm gonna act out on yet.
I want out basically. Like, do I really want to spend another 40 pages arguing with a scum I think I've pretty effectively lit up? No, that just gives him an opportunity to weasel his way out of it.
You're the controller here of course, but if you feel good about imaginality flipping red, why not take that now and ease pressure to get the other games right? Let's say the keep flips wrong. Suddenly you have a lot more pressure to do the Gate right. Are you going to get paranoid under that pressure? Is imaginality going to post 40 walls I'm not going to respond to point by point?
A bird in hand, something something....

Sorry to hear that. The weekend is almost here at least.
Editor notes: this reads list does not make sense based on the mechanics of this game, maybe think about those some before you submit it. Thanks!
Like, RH Knows, or at least should know, that there is a scum in NumberQ and Implosion. They are both Null
He also knows that there is scum between Baltar and Imaginality. They are Null and Town Lean. Shouldn't a town lean on one necessitate a scum lean on the other?
So, he appears to not have thought to try and come up with a solve for the gate or for the wall.
The only game he has proposed a "solve" for is the Keep, and gotta say. Not a fan.
Looks like it boils down to: Luke is playing like he wants to win, and is interested by meta, and mech. And therefore is scum. But tbh, feels like a "Luke is Luke, and therefore is scum" argument.

i want to think i will, realistically i'm not sure it's going to happen.
%-wise, how sure are you on your reads of the gate?

I don't really think in terms of percentages because those are mostly made up.
I think about the information I have and I express what my view is.
I am at the point where I want to flip over things to see if I am right I guess?

I guess it's not completely outside the realm of possibility that Imagi-scum decided his game was unwinnable and decided to take a dive to try to induce me to vote for pavo-scum in Keep. He has pulled similar moves before. I just find it not as likely as the other view.

and the other view is that... vpb is so batshit insane he has to be town, and imaginality fucked up by not being consistent in his pre-flip keep analysis?

tonally he kind of feels similar to me in that he wants his flip to influence other games
it feels like he geniunely believes I am scum w imagi and his flip at gate will win the game because it will win gate/keep?
whereas imagi is saying the keep will flip in a way that makes him look good but he doesn't actually seem to care how the keep flips.
