not that i remember, most recent scumgame was hito's large thing after abarat
and to be fair i'll very very likely be trying hard by the end of the game day, i'm just not going to bother right now, especially not at work.
also yeah reading your posts is the one i was referring to

Are you being intentionally obtuse? You are more than capable of understanding me when I say that all my strong reads are of the town variety, and that I therefore want to vote for someone not among those reads (we've explained why mollie is an exception for now). You should also know (or at least not be surprised to be receiving confirmation of previous patterns) that I always aim to be doing the most useful possible with my vote, particularly on Day 1, so I'm not just going to sit around without my vote on anybody until a scumread magically comes along. I put my vote where I think it is most likely to help me develop reads on people. In this case, for example, your bizarre attack on me is making me think scum more than it is town.
I don't know what nefarious thought process you think I am employing but, even if I've overestimated your ability to recognise my play, the people in this game who are best at reading me are among the ones with townreads on me, so that should tell you something if you're already confirmation-biased enough not to understand it from me.

Iecerint, you leaving the Dan wagon for Gamma makes me confused and exasperated.

Fate is right that Eaglekit's first posts are bad. More from them is another priority.

I am still with you in spirit so you do not have to be concerned.
I even went so far as to stipulate as such explicitly so that you would not have to experience such negative feelings. :[

It's the Gamma part that I find confusing and exasperating. I see nothing particularly worrying there and would be very surprised if you found any enthusiasm elsewhere that would cause the vote to have any real impact. Meanwhile, the Dan wagon is a bit light to sustain people hopping off for side projects.

Whenever I've played games with Gamma on the site, he's been town and very engaged. His contributions in this game are perfunctory. He implies (without stating explicitly) that it's because he's at work/busy, but he's obviously been employed at other times, too, so I don't think that's a good explanation for the discrepancy. I might have expected Gamma to do something like pop in and say "hey I'm at work but will get to this later" or something, but making half-hearted content-y contributions is different from that.
I don't really know much about Gamma's forum scum meta, so it could be nothing, but it feels off to me.
And yes, I've thought about it enough to notice off-ness mainly because he said things about me, leading to attention/rumination.

Don't you think "exasperating" is a little hyperbolic? Gosh.

Hmm, OK, based on my memory of the Balto invitational (the most significant and possibly only? game I've played with Gamma on the forums), I had thought he was similar to his approach here, but a quick ISO check suggests that you are more right than I thought. I guess it's fine, then. I'm pretty sure I can't read Gamma for shit anyway. I'd still rather we weren't splitting up the only interesting votes on the board, though.
'Exasperated' may be a bit strong. I nearly used 'frustrated', which is probably more strictly accurate, but it's just not as enjoyable a word.

^ missed the revelation. Regardless, known chronic lurker who claimed Miller is a fine D1 shot. It's what we would have done.
We like EagleKit too. The mollie vote is terribad.
Vote: Eaglekit

I think I played with TownGamma in Dynasty Warriors and Gay Mafia II -- both of which were large games. I was scum in both of those games. IIRC we killed Gamma N1 in Gay Mafia because he was towntowntown, but he was kept around for a bit in Dynasty Warriors because we were boyfriends (but he was still towntowntown).
His meatworld mafia meta is way different.

Tbh I don't really remember Gamma doing stuff D1 in Balto one way or the other. I do remember him being TownGamma D2, though.

iec i know dynasty warriors at least i was still in college so uh actually no on the 'being employed at other times' thing
balto invitational is fair to compare against for that but there were actually interesting things happening in that game at the time as opposed to here

Nuwen asking for a dayvig on the D1-only beloved princess is not bad; the fact that it's me makes it pretty null, and I find it interesting she doesn't actually use my name when suggesting the daykill but instead just says "we have a BP".
Still not interested in a CDB lynch.
Eaglekit is gross as fk so I'll let Fate go for now

watching Fate's selfcongratulatory masturbation has lost a lot of its charm when you've seen him be wrong time & time again
I don't really think that Iec's gamma meta is accurate, as in I'd not associate an obvioous lack of engagement with gamma scum (Specifically he was pretty engaged in Defcon, and uh, that one stupid game he won because of Vezok ages ago.) Or at the very least was trying to look engaged? (I guess it may not be real engagement but that's not really the point)
