Is that why you also barked at me for liking Isis’ post?

That would be very helpful, because everyone could say that, no? About not reading into one’s posts but seeing some actual attempts to sort would give me something else to parse you by.

i believe that taylor was just posting based on what animal they were, and i don't think there's too much to read in to there so much as the reaction as to being asked abt it + also why they chose to go about it that way.

so one of them is probably scum and the other town.
We don’t have a choice and I don’t know why you think there’s a connection? Pooky and Isis are the two condemned slots is all and I agree it makes no sense to do this if both are town but there’s zero connection between the condemned and the gladiate mechanic.
In post 401, Tayl0r Swift wrote:i mean dont read into any of my posts. without knowing what the stakes were i was just posting. there wasnt really any reasoning behind my votes. i could try to retroactively justify my posts and votes, but day 1 i voted someone for being a cat. day 2 it was just a random vote basically. on day 2 i felt particularly like there were no stakes since the people who got voted (me being one of them) didnt face any consequences. stating who we would have recruited is pointless because as scum we'd just lie. if anything i dont trust that scum doesnt benefit from this knowledge somehow.
In post 592, Tayl0r Swift wrote:my vote was essentially random. i did not have a good grasp on the game but didnt think there would be significant implications for the post-restriction stage of the game. i did assume there would be some mechanic for letting at least some players post, and wanted to get to that stage as quickly as possible. dunno why everyone sheeped me, but i had no real reason to unvote.
taylor, why not hop on the biggest wagon if you wanted to get through that phase of the game as fast as possible?

PlusJOYED assumed that this was a setup where essentially the mafia are lovers and all the townies are also secret lovers and there is only one elimination, from among the gladiated players. Going off of that assumption, if Pooky and I were both town, Hectic would end the game early and announce that it was a scum victory. He would similarly need to end the game early and declare one faction the winner if Pooky and I were both scum, which could be viewed as a scumslip for plusJOYED not including that possibility for the sake of completion.
So he wasn't saying anything about the condemning process was guaranteed to offer a choice between a town and a scum, but that he thought the fact the game had not been concluded early indicated that it was a choice between a town and a scum.

so is plus assuming then that two town being nommed would end the game somehow??
i don't understand this explanation

The game would end early because town loses no matter who they eliminate.
If I was moderating a closed setup, and two goons nightkilled untill all that was left was a VT, an innocent child and a 1-shot town gladiator and the gladiator fired on the VT, I would declare the end of the game.
of course PlusJOYED's assumption that we are currently in eLo because of a bastard mechanic that makes the next elim decide the game is a really bizarre assumption. But the conclusion does follow.

ohhh
no i’m dumb i didn’t put together the one elim part. that makes more sense i just don’t get like... the process of reaching that assumption about the setup but that isn’t something as worrisome as it just being word salad
