This is a ballsy claim. "He's acting aloof-dismissive instead of ennui-dismissive" does not ring true to me at all.

I'm going to lose my mind

i think Spiros' cases were rubbish to the extent that i would vote for him. they just insult the majority of the people mentioned. I also don't understand why Truth Quark was given a free ride with a compartively weak insult. their case on Jimson used the reasoning of "hey i'm yet" yet the post itself feels like after after posting no content after.

i dont agree with Samf being criticised for putting his thoughts into the thread.

I guess I explained the Jake thing poorly? My problem with his posting isn't that he stuck to his guns, it's that he stuck to his guns after it was demonstrated that the point he was making was based on a misreading. I think he was invested in just Pushing A Case regardless of what it was


my rationale for voting Jimson is him coming in and reminding us of the incoherent garbage we can expect from him

I get this, but having lost one town player already we shouldn't be just voting because we don't like someone. Jimson can be difficult to get engaged but usually pulls out some pretty awesome poo poo come day three or four. Will he get that far? Maybe, who knows, but there are better options for today and the refusal to realize that is worrisome. Give a case, and opinion, something other than 'Jimson sux'.

taste you misunderstood my point at the time

you are making it like I said that you said "PBS is town" and then changed it to "PBS is scum"

but what I was saying is you started as saying "at best PBS is bad town" which you graduated to PBS is scum.

I was never saying it was a contradiction, I was just saying you elevated the alignment read to be more severe

Now I admit that is a weak read, but it was my feeling at the time

nope, you still don't understand what words mean

"at best PBS is bad town" is synonymous to "PBS is probably scum"

Capp's first case on me was pretty tepid, and it seems like as other people have called out aspects of it she has buckled down instead of re-examining or even really explaining. She's gotten to a pretty hardline position from a cupcake position, and almost none of it has anything to do with the person she's voting for.

Okay, then make a case. One sentence isn't a case, it's a cheep cop out that shows almost nothing along the lines of a thought process. If you want be to believe you're town act like it.
