Okay, I'm here, HAI!
I have not.
Dang, Pooky pulling no punches with a challenge on Page 4. Seems a bit early, no?

BIG +1 to Reck's 203.
Nice to see Baltar share his thoughts in 220. Noting it because I want to go back and read it over again later.
I appreciate these perspectives. I've been considering the last as I've been reading.In post 224, notscience wrote:It looks like “I know you’re town but need to justify my vote here with moral outrage”
But it also looks like “this guys head is full of stuffing he’s not good to keep around”
I didn’t like Pooky asserting “I’m town bc scum wouldn’t be this reckless” either

There's a 1v1 between Gamma and Noraa on Page 10 that I need to come back and have a closer look at.

Page 10 to 14
Reading back over Page 10 because it was still bothering me after I read yesterday. I don't have a lot of experience with her, but Noraa seems quite overdefensive and borderline unreasonable in 232 and 242. I'm just sensing raised hackles every time I see her address Gamma. That can be attributed to being 1 of the 4 today, but I'm not feeling a genuine sense of outrage. It's like she's putting on a show of being mad at Gamma, especially with the atrocious AtE.
In 232, notsci brings another perspective to the table and Noraa automatically slots him as scum without fully fleshing out his points or having a conversation with him. It's hasty and total OMGUS.
This is AtE of the highest level. I used to be an easy Day 1 elim, too, for a long time, but if you act scummy, you're going to get votes. That's how it goes. I think Gamma is completely right with his response in 258. Additionally, I'm not feeling the "high and mighty" in this scenario, but more like stomping of the feet like in 260.In post 254, Noraa wrote:If I don't act high and mighty with confidence in games where I'm heavily SRed, I fucking always die a day 1 lim. Is that hard to understand or something?
Yeah, after reading through all of this, I have more faith in Gamma town than Noraa town.
Ahh, so par for the course, then.In post 267, xRECKONERx wrote:

No Gamma, stop selfvoting! RE: 280. I know you're frustrated, but there are many other players besides Noraa and her opinion of you isn't the end all be all here.
No, this is lame and a bullshit excuse. Get your vote off yourself. Who out of the other 3 is most deserving of your vote and why?In post 290, Gamma Emerald wrote:I could see that? But honestly at this point I'm pissed off about things to the point I'd rather have my slot resolved ASAP, and prove wrong those who think I'm scum here.
It's interesting because there's a Gamma/Noraa 1v1 and a Pooky/Baltar 1v1 happening. I feel like I've sorted the first, but I'm not sure about the 2nd.

Oh VPB, this Gamma case in 395. You talk about Gamma speaking about you and Noraa hiding away in the PT, but what about Pooky who originally brought that subject to the table in the first place? If Gamma is scummy for it, is Pooky? Why vote Gamma and not Pooky?
I also think (at this point) that y'all are spending more time defending talking in the PT than actually discussing the game. Why not bring those conversations and original thoughts to the rest of the town? I think Gamma and Pooky are right in calling you out on this and both of y'all's defensiveness about it is disappointing.<3 Kise, Reck, dram, tans, & Kats <3- Starbuck

However, I dig the rest of 455, even if I don't necessarily agree on all your points. Out of the 4, I do see Noraa as the most likely scum (reasons in my past catch up posts) and I appreciate your alternate albeit similar perspective here.

I think you're reaching really hard with this and not giving Noraa enough credit. To be fair, it's kind of a misogynistic take and I don't appreciate that.In post 486, notscience wrote:I think Noraa is being Naive and it’s being exploited by VP.

I appreciate Pooky's line of questioning to VPB and Noraa from 20 to 21. Noting this to go back and read a little closer (just wanting to get through catching up).
I mean, we've both been pretty absent so our PT is like "hi," but maybe if I had some thought process to work out or if I need a place to toss some notes. Otherwise, I just put all my thoughts and reads directly in the game thread. I do need to bomb him with some memes, though.In post 509, VP Baltar wrote:How about this: how many people who are not in the challenge are using their PTs to talk about the game?<3 Kise, Reck, dram, tans, & Kats <3- Starbuck

I don't have as much experience with her as the rest of you. I think this is our first game, but I'm not particularly liking her stances or her approach to the game.In post 528, SirCakez wrote:the thing that worries me w/Noraa is I'm pretty sure all of the AtE you're calling out she would be doing regardless of alignment
@Starbuck
1. I just caught up with the whole game in the last 3 days (finally) and you were very clearly AtE-ing. To sit here and say that you aren't or haven't isn't true. We've never played together before, but I quoted specific instances in my catch up where you were very clearly doing so. Continuing to deny it and continuing to be overdefensive, when you are clearly doing something, reads as scum to me.In post 532, Noraa wrote:
Im literally BARELY AtE'ing. I have done nearly no AtE at all. Whats up with this crap ass shade at me for AtE'ing when Gamma's AtE has certainly been MUCH more present.In post 528, SirCakez wrote:the thing that worries me w/Noraa is I'm pretty sure all of the AtE you're calling out she would be doing regardless of alignment
@Starbuck
Starbuck's stance around gamma is really weird.
I've been thinking about gamma lately and I'm coming around to gamma town somewhat.
It's hard to say but aorn I'm not all that convinced in gamma scum anymore.
I think my new solve looks like notsci/starbuck/UT/___
2. Deflection to Gamma - "I wasn't doing this, but GAMMA WAS DOING THIS MORE THAN ME. You need to look at HIM!" Nuff said.
3. My stance around Gamma is weird, but you're coming around to him as town? So why is my town stance on him weird?
I can see that. I'm considering Mafia of Revelations and the hell that was putting up with Auro on Day 1.In post 533, SirCakez wrote:

First off, I was asking a question to better understand your perspective. Your overdefensiveness is noted. In the case that you made against Gamma, you stated that he was attacking you about the PT rather than Pooky. You voted for Gamma in that post, too, and used that as your reasoning. I wish you had quoted my whole response.In post 534, VP Baltar wrote:
This is a pretty BS point. Pooky is the person who repeatedly brings up the PT. I'm not being defensive by trying to answer his questions.In post 529, Starbuck wrote:I also think (at this point) that y'all are spending more time defending talking in the PT than actually discussing the game. Why not bring those conversations and original thoughts to the rest of the town? I think Gamma and Pooky are right in calling you out on this and both of y'all's defensiveness about it is disappointing.
Further, I've raised many lines of questioning outside of that, so you're incorrect to say I'm not bringing original lines of thought. Pooky, and to a lesser degree notscience, are the ones repeatedly asking me to defend PT use, which is dumb. Why are you framing it as myself being the driver of that when I'm clearly not?
In any case, for the majority of this game that I just caught up on, there's waaaaaay more talk about y'all defending your PT than other subjects. I think the line of questioning that has occurred is important and I'm concerned about this Day 1 blood pact that y'all made because I've never taken you for that guy. However, I've appreciated your responses more than I have Noraa's.
Also, I never said that you aren't bringing original lines of thought to the table (you're putting words in my mouth), but that the PT talk has been a big discussion point that is taking more of everyone's attention. If you and Noraa weren't so obstinate about it, that might not be the case.
You've obviously never played with me before, esp when I'm forced into catch up mode. I vote once I'm completely caught up. I try not to do it as I go because I don't want to accidentally quickhammer.In post 535, Noraa wrote:Its great that Starbuck is throwing shade at so many people yet not voting anyone.
I didn't decide that they don't exist. Maybe you should read my posts again.In post 535, Noraa wrote:The fact that she decides that basically pooky and vp don't exist and the whole choice is between gamma and I is interesting as well.
Nope, I just think he's town.In post 535, Noraa wrote:She also seems to have a thing for pocketing gamma.<3 Kise, Reck, dram, tans, & Kats <3- Starbuck

What does your meta matter? He called you naive and said VP was exploiting you. The idea of someone "exploiting" you, or anyone else, is not a good feeling and I'm not about that type of shit. I'm glad that notsci was receptive to what I said (he could have gotten real defensive, but he didn't) and took the constructive criticism for what it was.In post 622, Noraa wrote:

Question! Does a soul read differ from a gut read? If so, what makes it different?
Ultimatums are lame. I don't deal with them IRL nor will I be threatened with them while playing a game for fun. I didn't plan to have 8 days of work with one day off and then back to it this morning for another 5 or 6, but I'm doing the best I can. I'm not sure why you feel like you can act this way and be a bully, but it's not endearing or warranted. I've thought you're town this entire time so far, but I'm starting to question my read and whether I sorted you correctly. You've been hella rude to me for no reason while being one of the few who just keep populating the thread with more and more pages every time I come back to it. Thus, making it harder to stay current. Then you have the gall to tell me something is "non negotiable"? How is that even a town mindset?In post 667, Gamma Emerald wrote:Take that up with the people who want this challenge to be over with. I'm willing to let you have that time butit's not negotiablethat I won't look favorably on you if you fail to deliver before this bubble bursts, whenever that is.
So I might go back and re-read for me, if I have the time, but given this awfulness (and the fact that as I've kept reading I feel like I sorted VPB, but am now down to just Pooky), I'll probably just keep my thoughts to myself or my PT.
I'm not feeling anything odd about him either. For me, it just seems like Noraa is lashing out at anyone who remotely suspects her.In post 670, lilith2013 wrote:.. don't really get the scumreads on cakes. Is noraa calling him scum because he's not scummy enough? What is this logic?

Appreciating cliff notes from Pooky in 737 and 740, re: Noraa. And she says she's not flailing.
And that's leaving off how he felt you were "exploiting" Noraa's naivete. Basically, blaming you for "tricking" her or some such. I'm not quite sure if his quick turn around to my call out of that is genuine, but time will tell. He could have been a lot more defensive towards me with his response and he wasn't.

Notsci seems to be cruising for path of least resistance yeet today. Remember when I said scum would use Pooky's insta-challenge as a way to take no responsibility for their actions today? Notsci is like the epitomy of that. He said he's willing to hammer anyone. I also feel like he's not trying to solve. I don't have a case at the moment because I tend to just keep impressions of each player in my head, and then later if I feel super strongly someone is scum, I'll re-iso them to see if their posting matches up with the impression I have or not.

Having a weak/null-ish read doesn't not equal "scum feelings," though. I think you're hardcore misrepping UT right now. Like this push would make sense re:Reck, but not UT.In post 899, Gamma Emerald wrote:He says it's "weak, and therefore useless"
I disagree with that sentiment, but he essentially is unwilling to vote VP despite having scum feelings from him
Why? If he has a weak read, he's going to work to sort VPB and the conclusion might be opposite of his initial feelings due to the evolution of his read. It's literally what anyone should do on Day 1. Everyone works through their sorting differently and it seems like you're just mad because he didn't do it your way.In post 904, Gamma Emerald wrote:would it not do to shore that read up though? It's the same issue I brought up regarding baltar where the solving is not present imo
I don't appreciate this statement at all. He wasn't saying anything against newbies and you are clearly putting words in his mouth/misrepping him with this. Not to mention that leaning back on your join date, when you seem to have played a ton of games since being on site, is pretty gross and wholly unfair to VPB. I'm saying that as someone who has played with him since *I* was a newbie.In post 926, Noraa wrote:dunno what else you except from someone with a 3 month join date but if ur solution is just "PL all newbies", ur the silly one.

That's a game where I replaced in and Cakez forced replaced me. I didn't have the time to catch up on 100 pages because work ramped up. It's not a fair example.
Also, why are you not telling the class that youfor me there? Or does that not matter? It only matters because you want to prove a point (that you aren't going to prove) because you didn't do your work and can't go look at games that I played till completion (whether I started at the beginning of replaced in) where I needed to work through catching up.replaced in
My sleep's been fucked, so I decided to work through catching up on another 10-15 pages this morning, which is still better than some of the other folks who can't keep up with your spamfest hyper posting.<3 Kise, Reck, dram, tans, & Kats <3- Starbuck

I'm feeling a bit better about him than I did when he was all "VP manipulated that sweet little girl." He changed his tune pretty quick when I said "I don't think you're giving Noraa enough credit" and he seemed to take it to heart. I appreciate his push back on her because I saw original thought and was nodding most of the way through.In post 968, SirCakez wrote:Starbuck what do you think about notsci individual from Noraa interactions?
Now, outside of that, I do feel he's kind of floating a bit and I'd like to see his thoughts on others. His whole "I'll hammer whomever" feels more like frustrated town, and opposite from Noraa's "I'll vote anyone who isn't me." That could also just be Day 1 and trying to wade through the spamfest. I do think there are others who are contributing less than he has, but for right now, I'm pretty okay with him.<3 Kise, Reck, dram, tans, & Kats <3- Starbuck

Lilith, Reck, and basically everyone in the 2nd half of the activity overview aside from the mod.In post 982, SirCakez wrote:

It's not because I think they are scum. I'm null on a good chunk of that side of the overview because they are being overshadowed by people who just want to hear themselves talk.<3 Kise, Reck, dram, tans, & Kats <3- Starbuck

This is my usual approach, too, and part of the reason why Reck and I became friends back in the day.In post 993, xRECKONERx wrote:what you need to understand is that meta is garbage and every game i play i treat like a brand new wonderful experience with no preconceived notions about anything or anybody.
Although, if something sparks my mind about someone's behavior, I might it mention, but I'm not delving into completed games to go searching for quotes. I want to know why someone is town or scum in this game and not rehash an entire completed game all over again.<3 Kise, Reck, dram, tans, & Kats <3- Starbuck

Busy last few days with work, but I'm here and hi. It's much better coming back to like 6 pages rather than 15.
I'm sorry to be wrong about Noraa. I hope a break serves her well and maybe she takes away some of the constructive feedback from folks here. I think it could be a real benefit to her in the future.
Question, am I the only one who has never played with her before?In post 1082, SirCakez wrote:I'd like to elim in this today I think Noraa's wagon was scum infested and taking advantage of her known predisposition to get emotional
Agreed. I'd almost say this is a similar format to The Weakest Link where we should plan out the challenges.In post 1088, SirCakez wrote:i'm not challenging anyone rn this thread needs to breathe now that we're finally out of that bs
My read shifted hard on him towards the end of yesterday. I wouldn't mind seeing he and Pooky up again.In post 1101, AGar wrote:GE is still scum y'all.
I worked 8 days straight, had one day off (Sunday), and am back at it as of Monday till, at least, Saturday. I've been catching up and reading where I can and not actually here in real time, so I can see why you'd feel this way.In post 1103, xRECKONERx wrote:Her catchup posts felt a lot like cheering from the sidelines and the way she was all "rah rah Reck makes good points" just *feels* like scum trying to get into my blindspot but it has been quite a hot minute since I've played with her so it could be genuine which is why I haven't really acted on it
It is a pretty scummy take, though, and an easy way to shirk any responsibility for yesterday.In post 1105, notscience wrote:agar I literally was saying for days it was four town. Several people scum read me for it.<3 Kise, Reck, dram, tans, & Kats <3- Starbuck

Definitely before and starting around the time when I finished my catch up. At the beginning of catching up, when I came in the game and read through the atrocious back and forth between he and Noraa, I was townreading him. I could empathize with a lot of what he was saying, especially in the face of someone who was being out of this world unreasonable. It's all laid out in 522.In post 1129, VP Baltar wrote:
I'd take a detailed explanation of this. Your read shifted hard, how and why? Before or after the noraa flip? Sounds like before.In post 1127, Starbuck wrote:My read shifted hard on him towards the end of yesterday. I wouldn't mind seeing he and Pooky up again.
It was after I said this:
That things seemed to get blown from a molehill into a mountain.In post 522, Starbuck wrote:It's interesting because there's a Gamma/Noraa 1v1 and a Pooky/Baltar 1v1 happening. I feel like I've sorted the first, but I'm not sure about the 2nd.
If you reference my 642, I responded to GE's blatant misrep of me in his 603. He said that I wrote you and Pooky off, but if he read, he would have seen that I was interacting with you and actively working on sorting you. Pooky is a whole other mess that I'm still trying to figure out, but Gamma completely ignored everything that I posted to do with you.
Then when I asked for time (because my insane work schedule being what it is), he told me that I had a "strict timetable" via 643 and that:
I'm not sure what I've done to be talked to like that, but I don't do anything for folks who are rude to me.In post 667, Gamma Emerald wrote:it's not negotiable that I won't look favorably on you if you fail to deliver before this bubble bursts
I don't think he realizes that I (like many others) work on sorting folks as I read and interact further, so his constant jump on me to provide him what I felt of you and Pooky (when I was working through, at least, one of you) is utter trash. I don't think he truly cared what I had to say and, like his pal Noraa, just ignored anything that I posted because it didn't suit his needs.<3 Kise, Reck, dram, tans, & Kats <3- Starbuck

I don’t like vp’s response to this conversation with notsci. not sure exactly what about it feels off but I almost feel like his intention was never to actually engage on whether agar pushing me was easy (which it is, because I think I have the lowest number of posts out of the remaining 3) but rather just to make UT look badIn post 1224, VP Baltar wrote:
