I'll do some rereading of the Bingle case today as I've just skimmed last couple of pages. One question I have for others who know him is, is he someone who'd hold back from hammering Alisae yesterday or Wisdom today? In both cases I think they were X-1 for a while and they can't both be his buddies.

I think he’s asking if I would have hammered you today, which I could have, but why would I?

If youre referring to Bingle's thing yesterday I agreed it was terrible
I used the inverse argument to support my duck case (there are no worlds in which duck is 8ball today) and Taly, duck and MT were interested in who might be 8 ball today.

Taly’s list was Ali/Taly/you/imagine and duck’s was duck/mom/imagine which is all sorts of made up.

@bingle
Im not sure what the question is. Why would scum Ali self hammer? Frustration. Why would town Ali self hammer? Frustration.

Why would town Ali fake a self hammer? E probably wouldn’t, but I don’t really think it was faked.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen Ali self hammer as an information denial tool.

I think if Ali was the 8-ball yesterday then hammering that (earlier in the day, not when it was a deadline crunch) would have looked really bad. Better to not associate with the wagon, not really give a read on Ali (Which is the impression I was getting from how Ali described Bingle? Correct if wrong though)

Don't know with regards to Wisdom -- yes he might be Bingle's buddy, also just not sure throwing down a hammer in a nightless setup and trading one-for-one is a good idea rather than trying to turn others' reads around.

Unless, of course, I am incorrect in my assumption that hammering (town) Wisdom today or Ali early yesterday would be perceived as scummy

To word this better;

I was saying that he either was frustrated town or gambiting scum. I dont see the merit in selfhammering as scum, especially when liming another person grants your team a nk

There are pretty few games that have had a trajectory that I expected less than this one. This is making for a passive toucan dayphase. :igmeou:

Let me understand this - you thought that the quote preview error I made was an actual hammer

Over 3 pages of content happened during that time. Why the wait?

When I saw the player list, I was really hoping I'd be able to obvtown myself to Wisdom and sheep him to victory.

Then I read the game and got sad in the pants.

, you seem more familiar with
Wisdom
scum than I do, what's your meta take?

Also, do you think the thread currently aligns with the narrative that you're the 8ball, or is a current wagon or someone else that has already been voted - a likelier 8ball?

Technically, I'm familiar with town!Wisdom, and this ain't it.

Tbf, my knowledge of his play is years old.

I think I'm the likely 8-ball, as Alisae was on the verge of being eliminated for the 2nd day in a row when I joined the game.

Why should I know better? Wheel did you start giving reasons for reads? When did you start "reading" people so specifically?

Like, you should KNOW I'm town. You should have seen it before Taly.

This is weird for you.
