Careful about reading into what you think are implications, Titus, remember Adventure Mafia!

Do you have any thoughts or is this post just a waste of space itself? It's great you can give a compliment but how does this forward the game?

There is no town motivation for a quote wall on page 2.

Pedit. Same reasoning as titus.

was going to excitedly vote for Bujaber for his post on Elbirn, but it no longer feels original. :<

Titus, why are you so desperate for everyone to be posting content and only content on page 2? we've barely started and no one's really being spammy. your complaints take up as much space as what you're complaining about.

let's have a chill game.

VOTE: Bujaber anyway.

pedit: well alright then.

I’m asking for an explanation of a blank vote. I don’t see how that’s a waste of space, and I think it’s kinda silly you didn’t bother to comment on anyone else goofing around this early into the game but -do- complain that a post in which I actually ask a question is pointless.

In other words, find something else to complain about and don’t project.

I would like to propose an embassy with Chara’s chill nation. Really though what is the -scum- motivation for responding to posts in a big wall on page 2? What discussion was it distracting from? Saying “that doesn’t explicitly benefit town therefore scummy” is dumb at best and actually scummy at worst.

being so close to a hostile neighbor who is insane and some would say as part of me prevents being chill. second, i don't care if content and only content but I don't want to see spam/non-sense that does nothing particularly while praising lack of spam or walling. Even jokes do something.

exactly what i was going to say, again. also to call those voting Gamma for it weak or scum. it's one, small wall. and a posting style.

i don't anything about Civ or politics Shaziro, but let's... do the embassy thing. friendly relations!

VOTE: brass

i don't think Shaziro's post was close to spam or nonsense.
but i really don't feel like arguing about something so petty, and i doubt it's AI.

pedit: i know there isn't a mechanical thing here, Shaziro. i just can't do the political/history word drop thing. disappointing.

Dan: i do love seeing players committed to a crusade against a particular behaviour, who don't care whether it's AI or not. that's always fun!
a little happier with my brass vote after that post, too. just a little.

Dan's vote ninjaed my post for the same reason. All Gamma did was a filler wall. Does that make him lock scum 4ever? No. But I agree with Dan's approach and you seem paricularly close to Gamma by chainsawing all who don't like gamma. Don't know if it's AI but... :/

Dear Titus,

You can objectively disagree with a line of thoughts used to discredit another Nation regardless of the identity of the discredited Nation, keep that in mind.

Agreed. Shaizro for instance disagrees with the missive I sent to Germany. However, Shaizro does not attack me for the missive. That is what is puzzling about Chara. Chara seems particularly invested in protecting Gamma.

Dan: yes, actually.

brass: your timing did look like you were following it. what's scummy about the content?

pedit at Titus: that's really it. all he did was a filler wall. it's not an especially exciting bite. brass's vote was notable because it came after both you and Dan said you didn't like the post.

Joey: there's nothing objective about mafia. though, what exactly are you saying here?
also, why Varsoon?

you think i'm attacking you? or are you referring to brass and Dan? i'm not scumreading Dan right now.

you are, again, shifting my presumed focus to Gamma. i really don't to spend the game arguing with you if you're town. it's very tiring and not fun.

In post 49, Titus wrote:The German tanks are not subtle in their implications. The scholars wish to remind them that subtlety is the better form of valor at times. The rashness and impulsivity are not favored traits. If I picked up the implications then I doubt I am the only one that asks why you change your mind so erratically. I will see if I can work with you further without making the implications obvious.

VOTE: Gamma Emerald
Can we please avoid using words spuriously? Reading walls with no reads or point is very annoying.
I'm trying not to artificially inflate the thread when it's early-game.
In post 52, ActionDan wrote:There is no town motivation for a quote wall on page 2.

Pedit. Same reasoning as titus.
nope. I believe the start of a game is critically important to the rest of it so I'm trying to start it with less posts rather than more.

True, why are you defending me so soon Chara? I haven't really posted anything that game-relevant yet.

I don't think they're chainsawing they seem to just think the idea is bad. If it was someone else they'd very likely take the same stance.
We're falling through space, you and me, clinging to the skin of this tiny little world, and if we let go...That's who I am.

Dear Titus,

I disagree. I believe Chara already explained that [It] disagree about the push based on the structure on the post, as showed here :
In post 58, Chara wrote:it's one, small wall. and a posting style.
Chara also showed similar behavior surrounding Shaziro post regarding your post, Chara used the same kind line of thoughts to critique the people who were discrediting Gamma :
In post 61, Chara wrote:i don't think Shaziro's post was close to spam or nonsense.
but i really don't feel like arguing about something so petty, and i doubt it's AI.
I believe that you might've missed that [It] also "chainsawed" Shaziro there because you were biased into thinking that [It] was engaged into defending Gamma.
Chara looks like a prudent Nation willing to denounce Nations who dislikes the structure of the correspondances and i believe, as of yet, it has nothing to do with "Chainsawing".

Kindly,
Prime Minister of ********
