This game is moving so fast.
Anyway, pressure away, but it's pretty transparent when you say it's pressure. Not that it isn't useful, just transparent.


@SashaTrustFund: Of course you do, you fence-sitting coward.

FTL, you assume I'm not playing the game when I am.

And right now, you are welcomed to my scumreads.

MMmhmmm, yeah, look at me on the fence and certainly not on a wagon at all.

Man I must be a scumfuck.

Oh, wait.

@Notscience: You assume I assume that you aren't playing the game. I saw and liked your post about TD understanding alignments about scum. What I'm calling for is for you to actively engage with the game, instead of prattle and distract town, which is what you do in some games.

@TrustSasha: I didn't say you were scum, you did. Guilty conscience, much? And when you agree with votes on me, but are on a different wagon, it's a fence. You can now reasonably swap to my wagon under the artificial defense of "I thought FTL was scum all along so -ploink-". I'm calling out that rubbish now. If you think someone is scum, vote for them.

Being a distraction is what I'm best at.

But why should I be a distraction to anyone now that my alignment is known?

You didn't vote him, but you made this little half-step push thing, which is worse in my book.
bingo. it looks alot like you were flirting with the idea but
waiting for someone else to take the initiative, TD.
So, if you look at post #48, TD jumped away from Venmar when I voted Ven, and actually told me not to vote him. This is completely inconsistent with Mac's version of events. Mac's been trying to justify a place on the TD wagon for a little while, but apparently he doesn't even know why he's on it.

" it looks alot like you were flirting with the idea but waiting for someone else to take the initiative, TD."
But then when I took the initiative, he immediately backs off? That makes no sense.

@TrustSasha: You're perpetuating the accusation I made against you, then. It could easily be two Town, and you're pushing an easy mislynch on either based on town consensus, which, oh, hey, let's look at how reactionary your votes/opinions are to town consensus so far! You're either a sheep or scum hopping on a mislynch of two people you know are town--both options are anti-town.

@Notscience: Conf. Town can still distract and hinder town. Look, nevermind, just play.

@NicktheName: I dunno if that makes mac scummy or just wrong.

The analysis about Mac re TD looks legit, and something not surface-level.

Pedit- No Varsoon, you said it, explain it. How do I distract?

Hi Science.

Hey if anyone wants to give me a hand (read: I'm lazy) if you could collect all the votes for the TD wagon into one post for me that'd really just be awesome and I'd love you the rest of the game.

@Notscience: Typically, when you post things that aren't wholly game related, or when an issue is being engaged with and you pull away from that to assert things otherwise. Usually, it's the not-so-game-related fluffiness that irks me. Whimsical one-liners and things like that. 85, 90, 103, 108, 133, 137, etc. You've got solid posts in your ISO where you make good points, but from time to time the whimsy overwhelms the pro-town side of things and it's a potentially exploitable thing for scum, imo.

@Nick: TD's vote on Venmar, then pulling in the reigns when it doesn't work out.

ok. i was wrong. remind me why that makes me scum? I've justified my place on this wagon already.

also voting venmar for stupidity = policy lynch. despite td apparently hating them.

Yeah that post I liked. The vote-change speed was kinda dizzying, but I tend to think relative vote-stickyness is scummy. It's a meta thing, though, not absolute. So, leaning town even though I didn't like the Mac vote itself.

Are we all pretending we have reaction tests going in this game?

So far, the obvious choices for the early scum list are TFL, Nick, and TD deciding to vote for Venmar because of 'stupidity'. That's a copout reason. But I don't like the wagon, especially recently with weak votes from Nick and FTL. In fact, I really think Nick's true bad vote came on his vote on Mac, not TD. 210 and 218 felt like he was trying to pull some bullshit test off and even when he wants to vote Mac, he doesn't explain his reasoning for shit. He is obligated to explain such reasoning because he's suggesting a slip/misrep and therefore needs to bring it to light instead of saying "That's not what happened" when Mac essentially agreed with his original post.

VOTE: Nick

I actually am going to say TD's reactions feel genuine. He stepped bad and is feeling bogged down, which is something I completely understand.

TFL's attack on Nhaman was bad, which was really the first time I noticed him. I don't like MS on my own policy of him reading too fast to be useful, but the worst post from them was made by Varsoon, which surprised me. Off hand, what was Varsoon's allignment in Xenoblade? I didn't ever bother to check back in on the end result (stopped reading short of d4...)

Mollie/Jiffy and other hydras:
Spoiler:
When I sleep, I don't want nightmares about waking up to 70+ pages. Every game I in this category seems to love large post games. I've played Street Racers, Posh, and Xenoblades with the majority here, I know you're capable of posting that much. So you don't have to prove you are capable of 1,000+ pages d1 to prove you can. Got it?


P-edit: And the shit of this begins. Not even going to bother.
