Is it imperative that I read this weird coloring of Pops's posts?

- Phi Kappa Phi, are you branded?

- Homura, I like hummus

Comfortable with being lynched for it, but I need PKP (or their replacement) to post at least once before I take this game seriously. Consider it a safeguard against lurkscum.

  • @implosion: They're ongoing games, but you can just search my topics.
  • @Wooper: It's a gamble.
  • @pops: I take it back; I read post 166, and thank you.

Policy. This hydra I feel can't be this bad to be scum unless I'm that crazy in thinking in otherwise
You don't feel that policy lynching at this point is a cop-out?
In post 545, implosion wrote:spicy.
Is this a reference to something? I see it in a lot of threads.


  • I was expecting a counteroffensive from Amrun
  • I told you guys that hydra was insane; however, the only person I would consider policy lynching would be the very towny pops (my highest townread) due to that horrendous font color and highlight
  • Hilarious. The next thing I read is pops' suspicion I might want to lynch her over her font. Beautiful.
  • @Wooper: What about Amrun, Team STRQ, Something_Smart?
    • Also, pops is my highest townread, ame/homura I have no read on, and obligatory "i'm town"
    • And, you can calm down on your paranoia. Due to the interaction surrounding your wagon, my intention was never to lynch you for today. I said that I liked you.
  • @Something_Smart: I assumed you were waiting to force a plurality
  • I feel like if STRQ is scum, then they're being bussed, but this is WIFOM for late-game analysis. Ignore it for now. (I just like to always feel that I'm right)

I think we're losing focus - the excuses and disclaimers were null. If your logic was that sound, you wouldn't need disclaimers to offset it. You adding all these useless and NAI (as well as potentially manufactured) disclaimers made me trust you less, thus the statement. Your "outrage" after the fact...I didn't care to sort that either. Nothing personal, but I'm accustomed to a shit ton of alts with fake lives. I don't know you well enough to prove you're not one of them.

The consistent annoyance about this hydra could come from scum trying to minimize a slot with multiple voices, and is harder to predict. That's the basis of quite a few grievance's against this slot from what I've understood, or at least one's that have been brought up to me.

So you think Looker-Elmo interactions this past page or so are T/T?
Your slot has been so muddied its hard to tell where any of your heads were. The fact that I was called an "alt" in this game by one really got under my skin. And no it's NAI. I have this undying hatred for hydras. Like to the point I want them dead in every game.

My issue is this why are there 4 heads of this hydra and all of a sudden it got quiet from them? And now picked up all like nothing happened.
What do you find offensive about being called an alt? Also, I agree - I would expect a four-headed hydra to be four times as active, even if I did accuse them of being a hyperposter near gamestart.

Ya ever just feel it in your jimmies? Cause that's the best reasoning I got.
Why didn't STRQ ask

In post 1153, implosion wrote:Alright. I guess this gives me something to do (namely reckon over whether Elmo is town). I'll do that... maybe tomorrow, maybe tonight, who knows!
This is a comfortable position, even with two days left. I'm not really that worried.

Should've went when you had the chance.

VOTE: Elmo

  • @Team STRQ: Come harder than that, Summer
    • Ame already had all that stuff written out before this game
I think this is a much more fun version of Mafia.

I feel like this is a waste of time; I already put down my vote - I'm done. If you don't like it, vote me, idc. The risk aversion is boring and I can chat with my real friends; I don't need to drag out a thread or lynch for human contact.

In post 1280, Elmo TeH AzN wrote:Why the fuck do I need to die?
One can say the same about you. This games come to a full stop. It's a shame. It's also a shame I said I couldn't read the damn hydra and wanted them dead and the flip. Didn't vote Ame and wanted some time to get my reads in but life happened and someone then hammered.
  • Because I feel you're full of shit
    • You keep insisting that the game has no traction, but you're the one who's not voting
    • You voted Amrun for the better part of D1, but then when I insist that one of you needs to die, you flail
    • You mislynched Wooper and only jumped on Team STRQ when it was clear that they'd be the plurality
    • More NAI disclaimers/excuses
  • What can be said the same about me and why?
In post 1285, implosion wrote:actually i might be wrong to townread pops. I think i'd rather like, townread elmo than pops?
Is this a question or a statement? I no longer townread you.
In post 1285, implosion wrote:pops is like, playing really well, and talking in a way that makes me look at what she's saying and go "yeah, that's town". This has been the case since like mid yesterday. But that isn't really strictly necessarily town indicative, it's just like, good play.
What was the intent of this? Were you trying to discourage my townread of pops?
In post 1287, implosion wrote:Like, I've been thinking more and more town on pops but I'm not sure that I've ever actually had a good reason for this. I think it's just the kind of read that I sort of lazily make sometimes. I'm not sure if I really know how to read pops.

I'm still just so not-sold on elmo being the scum though :\
I'm not accustomed to this stream of consciousness playstyle. It's as if you're waiting for others to interject and insert logic for you. I can't do this because I want you to be accountable for fuck-ups.
In post 1310, implosion wrote:honestly as regards looker i still have at least a little bit of residual townread from.....ame's towncase x_x

and beyond that I'm mostly coasting off of early stuff/consensus for my read on looker, and the fact that people are saying looker specifically doesn't have a big scum range.

  • Brazenly forced assumption. We Heaven you and the game ends because you're scum.
  • Town apathy is a cheap trick and I'm not going to let you exploit it to make a quick run for Heaven
  • "Rock and a hard place" observation is valueless

  • Stall tactics are cheap - is this really the best that y'all've got? Heaven me today and kill Amrun or Elmo tomorrow.

I’d like to see any of you maintain a game when your very small child is actually very ill to the point he was eventually hospitalized. That is not fair.

I do mostly play at work, gobbles is right, though I wouldn’t categorize weekends as v/la in the way I used to 6 years ago. (Just only have time to snipe post mostly)

In post 1319, implosion wrote:Honestly, stream of consciousness-ing is almost certainly one of the aspects of my town play that i am distinctly bad at emulating as scum.
Says who? Says you? You understand why I wouldn't believe this, right?
In post 1319, implosion wrote:The scum range thing is basically just that people have talked a lot about things you've done this game that they claim you're bad at emulating as scum; so in your case it's just based on what other people are saying. For e.g. pops or S_S it's more abstract, and I'm probably using the term scumrange in a way that's obscuring what I'm trying to communicate rather than making it clearer. In pops's case I'm really just using it as a proxy to mean "the kind of thing that scum playing well are generally capable of doing".
Who are you Heavening today?

(243) This is one of the most annoying pieces of theatre I've ever been witness to. Fake confusion, blatant lurking - it's boring. Even with all that, I'm still going to win: just because you keep fucking around at the edge of the chess board doesn't mean you don't have to make a move. Pick someone to Heaven or Hell and then be held responsible for it. It doesn't matter how much you cry or how sick you are. If it's that bad, just replace out and let a competent player play. You can only exploit plurality lynches so much before we're on to you.

Tbh sending Amrun to hell is fine. If you want more. I depth it's going to. Be a while.


And attacking a v/LA is just to let you know. If I. Vanish for a bit it's why. When my life gets has mafia and games are the outlets I delve into a bit more or try to to let my head just not think about my life issues.
  • I can wait for your justification and your vote
  • I assume the last sentence is phone posting, but being busy doesn't exclude you from being scum

  • S {Elmo | Amrun | Implo | Pops} T
  • Also, @pops: Just because someone's town/genuine doesn't mean they're right, case in point Ame
  • @Implo: You never have to ask - yes, we want the towncase. S_S placed seemingly good votes, though.

But that's how shit goes and then shit in my personal life just make me not to really care about this game at the moment along with my other one. And at this point I want the votes so I can flip the double birds right now at everyone as I'm sent to hell.
But here's some action.

VOTE: Amrun
Amrun or Looker.

If you get a vote for me
I'll GLADLY HAMMER CAUSE I'M FLIPPING THE BIRDS INTO THE SUNSET

Ideally. Looking back at my Day 1 play. Christ it was bad. I'm more upset the hydra made it to. As far as they did being wishy washy as fuck. And whooper was an unlucky deadline. Ame I'm mad as I wasn't sold. But I was taking care of life and when I wanted to put thoughts into it he was In heaven. Would rather have sent implosion or myself but hindsight.
You don't want to play the game but you don't self-vote or rep out?

I’m not delusional enough to think that will happen but it is definitely optimal.
