Like, the only thing keeping me from shooting right now is the fact that Gamma if munitions-scum would have known that winged would flip town and that would be such a dumb move.

(I mean, it was dumb either way. But it would be even dumber if he KNEW it would flip town.)

You've never mentioned Gamma before as any read of any sort. Why does him shooting town make him scum? Did you want to shoot him before for any reason? If so, why?

I didn't really have a read on him before.

I don't know if I even have one now. But I'm pissed regardless and I feel like he DESERVES to be shot.

In post 1596, the worst wrote: we have a maximum of 9 shots left d2.
mechanically shooting me is great but
contextually shooting me is a scum claim.


1. groupscum have to kill me to remove SK WIFOM
2. SK has to kill me because I'll out who they are d3
1 makes no sense to me

why?

I shot her because I thought she had the highest chance of flipping scum out of anyone, and I said why in the post where I shot her.

I've seen scum, especially newbie scum, glom onto other people's reads before to try to fit in and try to avoid people attacking them since they're just doing what other people wanted and it felt like winged was doing that here - I don't remember her asking any specific questions about either of icon or Taly near the end of yesterday when people were pushing her to kill someone and it didn't feel like she was trying to read them herself and make a decision. Maybe she was and just wasn't posting about it or maybe she just have a good grasp of the game and thought the town as a whole would be better I guess.

MoI and I think vax disagreed with her looking town near the end of d1, I posted that someone's pool of winged & theta & light was fine to kill except for light. I'm not going to specifically say who I'm shooting and give scum the chance to shoot at me or another town before getting gunned down and I did specifically say I would shoot today, and winged made 1-2 non-content posts and said nothing else today.

As for discussion, we've had a week of it for people to try to argue for me to shoot someone in particular or not shoot someone in particular and all that's happened for the last two days until after winged flipped was pretty much people just agreeing with me saying light shouldn't be shot and a bunch of setup junk. If you want something to specifically happen or not happen then step up and fight for it or do it yourself instead of waiting a week for someone else to shoot.

forgot a word

I still want theta dead next personally. But for real to get philosophical for a sec.

You all (except the worst) have guns and can basically make this game unfold however the fuck you want. read the game, decide who you want to live or die, and make it happen - if it keeps being a week of waiting around before someone eventually says 'fine, i'll shoot' and people dying one by one then scum will just hold their shots unless it looks like they're either getting shot or there's few enough people left that they can just finish the shootout in a way that's favorable to them. If you want to bounce ideas/reads off me I'll be around but ya'll are the ones dictating the game now so if you want something to happen then push for it or ask people about your thoughts on people and actually do something with it.

​​​​​​​​Theta Alpine, Echo Bay Munitions Co. goon, has died.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​


Echo Bay Munitions, Co. was founded in 2008, and little is known about how the company actually operates by outsiders, or for that matter, the people who work there. the privately owned company has a number of top secret government weapons contracts, and it's well known that they perform testing just outside the city, but what exactly they're testing--or why--remains a mystery to those who do not work for the company.

however, even for those who do work there, much of it is shrouded in mystery; the employees are spread primarily across three buildings, with a handful of other employees working remotely, and even those who work within the company are unlikely to know more than a small handful of others there. some of those who are part of the company's engineering team, however, are part of a new initiative within the company to create a new paradigm in how firearms are made available to private citizens.

Hm. Probably gonna leave Lovebird for now. While multiball, so could be other scum, that's a hell of a risky shot to make imo.

I must say I've noticed a considerable pattern now of people suggesting those kinda strategies being scum so I'm just gonna

Shoot Austerity

Austerity, Echo Bay Grits goon, has died.


the Echo Bay Grits company was founded in 1923 by two enterprising sisters, the daughters of a owner of a small East Coast chain of supermarkets. the elder of the two sisters attended culinary school, where she gained an appreciation of simple foods made perfect through dedicated, thoughtful care, and the younger used her knowledge of agriculture trade gained through her work in the supermarket to gain an in depth understanding of how to succeed in the cutthroat industry of east coast grits companies.

together, they amassed significant wealth, and while their company has had a few downturns throughout its near century in business, their legacy of excellence has given the company a well-deserved reputation for creating only the best. however, the company has been slow to adapt to technology, and while this is in some cases a good thing (the fact that they still rely on the same basic machinery with only minor renovations for manufacturing grits gives them a much-desired reputation as having a real legacy), the fact is, any company in the 21st century needs a robust and well-maintained online presence, and the Echo Bay Grits company simply does not deliver in that regard.

the recently formed online marketing division for the Echo Bay Grits company has most recently faced the uphill battle of trying to increase their company's presence on social media and improve their search engine optimization, or SEO. this effort has proved difficult, though, and it remains difficult to locate the company online; while selling affordable, tasty food in supermarkets and supplying that food in bulk to restaurants across a region are certainly still a viable way to turn a profit, larger, more nationally accessible brands of grits threaten to eventually subsume the Echo Bay Grits company's profits, and the internet is the best and perhaps only way to prevent this from happening.

the sisters' legacy is one of innovation in times of hardship, and this sort of innovation is key to their survival. one thing is certain: either the Echo Bay Grits company solves their web presence problem, or their company faces extinction -- not literal extinction, of course, because it's not like anything would cause that to happen, right?
