Psyche was very impressed with Bingle's flow. It was quite the work of engineering, and it would certainly be rather wrong if Psyche didn't respect good engineering.
Psyche was impressed that Bingle seemed to be thoughtful about Farkran's health and safety in using the lava slide, but Psyche was not born yesterday, Psyche was not born ever, and it knew that it was potentially a hazard. Besides, it would make lots of sense for the kind but misguided Bingle to be sent down into the dirt room. That way, Bingle could be more closely supervised, which kind of seemed necessary at that point. Even though Psyche's purpose pertained to protecting younglings from strangers, it was natural for it to want to protect younglings from eachother too.
"Why don't you try out the slide yourself, Bingle?" Psyche asked, trying to be as persuasive as possible.
"No! I didn't make it for me! I made it for my friend!" Bingle insisted. Its voice cracked with heat and excitement midsentence.
"Hmmm."
Psyche could maybe push Bingle down the slide by force. But Psyche always favored diplomatic solutions.
"You know, Nachomamma8 and Hectic are down in there. Hectic might be licking Nachomamma8's face. This is even probable." Psyche pointed out.
"EMERGENCY!" Bingle shouted as it erupted. It jumped onto the lava slide and slid all the way down, its body naturally absorbing most of the lava along the way. When Bingle got there, it saw that Hectic was rolling around on the ground and not licking anyone.
"Oh, that's boring.", it said. It began to think about how to get back out, but the slide still looked too slippery to be an easy answer.

Yeah I remember you waffling a few days ago, my confusion was more from the timing of it, given that it came shortly after my/Amrun's discussion and I think it's your first spare vote all day. "Open about it" also really just means open that it might have existed, less so than, like, actually trying to make a case for it.
The first thought that popped into mind was that were trying to run interference on a Hectic/Chara spare coalition but I don't think you'd be that blatant and I think you'd know it wouldn't really work.
I’m not going to read ISO’s and I’m sheeping you because Amrun says you logic is shit without disagreeing with any results. When the consensus seems to be “the new guy can solve the game for us!” actually pushing something is probably a town move and I don’t see signs that anyone else has done so.
Why is your default response to hurt hectic instead of Amrun or sparing Farkran?
Maybe. I feel like I can come around to Hectic town and chemist has done fuckall. I’m pretty confident that fark is town and fark is pretty confident that hec is scum though, so I’m gonna wait for a rebuttal.
that's kinda weird because you asked me one question then ignored my response
admittedly I feel like I was kinda looking for stuff to scumread because the slot had like one thing I disliked and nothing else from memory
but I wouldn't spare bingle today

Looking at your readslist, it looks like you're thinking spare Farkran/Hectic or lynch Nacho. Are there any others you're thinking about?
That is very unfortunate, both in not wanting to spare Bingle and in not having seen the best movie of the 2010s, but if you change your mind please consider this your Formal Invitation to the Jellicle Ball

3.5 days to deadline.
Current wagon situation is still bad, but has improved since my last call to arms. This game NEEDS a flip to progress.
I need to make peace with the fact that no one is willing to lynch Hectic today. I completely disagree that any towncase about hectic made any sense so far. Nacho's meta towncase was definitely the worst, pushing the differences between hectic's first game on site and this one. Chara not being even slightly worried about Hectic himself, or Nacho wking him with a reasoning so weak, really make no sense to me, but Chara seems to be townreaded almost more than Hectic.
Out of the lynchable slots that i think could become viable today, i can only identify Nacho, Chemist, Farkran and Bingle.
I think that, if Chemist is scum, it has to be with me or Psyche. I see how you could buy a Chemist/Farkran team, but imagine a town!Farkran world for now - you will draw your conclusions later. I think it's possible that scum!Chemist would place a spare vote on me, hoping that the day would end differently. I can only see him partner with Psyche though, and i have little reason to scumread him.
I did townlean Almidia, but the recent Bingle has made me reconsider that significantly. Bingle's progression that made him go from "i sheep farkran: vote hectic" to "i sheep nacho: heal hectic" to "i am 100% determined i will not lynch today: heal farkran" to "i want to unheal farkran but i'm VLA until the deadline is over and i'm not going to change my vote first"... is bad. Really, really bad. It's like forcing a fake associative on me, because Amrun said he would lynch me if bingle flipped red. Psyche and Replica healing there is also very meh. Especially psyche, who didn't even include Almidia in his fotm sparelist that would lead us to a "so easy victory i don't know how you all can't see it" back in d1. I can buy a Bingle/Psyche team.
I already talked about Nacho and a possibility of a Nacho/Hectic team. I fancy this less than Hectic/Chara, that's mostly because the interactions between the latter two are doublesided whereas Hectic/Nacho is onesided from nacho. Makes sense though, that Hectic wouldn't want to associate with a suspicious read, and that Nacho would scumread town!Chara if we are in this world.
Out of these 3, i'd get Bingle or Nacho. I probably trust Amrun as a combination of "towniness + ability to read" than Chemist, although Chemist is maybe slightly townier than Amrun. In a world where i am wrong about all my main scumreads, that's likely whom i'd turn to.
HURT: Bingle i'm going to try this. If there is any interest in Psyche, i would rather lynch psyche over navho and bingle.
I still think that a lot of this game has been tainted by faulty setup interpretation, suboptimal plays, but most likely also a significant level of pocketing from the scumteam, which i respect. This game needs a flip to progress. Sparing today is a town loss.

hey all. trying to slowly get back into this before my vacation given the deadline. is Farkran's description of Bingle in the post just above yours accurate, Amrun?
and i should be here until deadline as well, my vacation isn't until after, i believe.

It’s slightly different from my interpretation. I do think the progression is clearly bad but it’s kinda NAI to me because bingle isn’t reading/trying

your first instinct to sheep a FIGHT vote? You
mentioned
that Farkran was the only one actively pushing something, which was town-indicative. However, there was Chara pushing a me as town (and a SPARE) in posts like 978, as was Psyche in a few of his posts.

If Farkran suddenly becomes viable I’d try there first.

No wait, psyche just voted to spare me (huh?) And chemist didn't remove his vote...
