like I may be totally being buddied up to and led around by a scum Gaspy right now, I'm well aware of that possibility, but regardless of alignment, the idea of Gaspy being afraid to commit to an opinion, or even more than that, being afraid of drawing attention, which he is always going to get no matter the loving what, that is fuckin hilarious.

Yeah he was being all like "this pings me, so does that!" But only tossed a vote AFTER you did, like he's trying to hide behind your general tendency to be considered towny for posting like there's no tomorrow.

you gotta start somewhere, Tobbs. Jokephase is the primordial soup where we try and create something from nothing.

TQ made two obvious jokevotes, but they might've been tryhard jokevotes. It was worth a prod, and a while after that prodding, some interesting new stuff came up. The fact that TQ had to try and re-iterate the same old "uh... yeah that crazy Bif sure is crazy, haha!" tired joke he made in his first bad jokevote, but for even less reason now, pinged me a lot harder than anything that came before.

It's still a lovely D1 case, but I'm gonna keep pokin till we either catch a scum or we get into something that sounds more like a good ol townie slapfight.

friendos, we have 2 days and 5 hours, maybe chill ok

Phone posting blows so it's hard to do multi-quote posts, but this doesn't really make sense with the rest of tithin talking about a bandwagon. I originally thought this post was "hey maybe don't vote so much people" but if it's specifically about a bandwagon on Bif, that doesn't exist. 4 votes on one person and 3 on two others...

Wait I just realized it's the current votecount and so this post is loving useless to describe what tithin was actually seeing at the time and now I'm mad because you have made a self-editing post.

A little suss on tithin for freaking out about votes. Like, is he the vote police or something? Also he was sort of overexplaining himself which can happen to scum when they feel they've said something dumb and are going to catch heat for it.



Yeah let's ##vote tithin

This overexplaining thing is something I thought too. The need to correct himself when nobody had even said anything looks self-consciousness.

##vote tithin

This looks like the best vote right now.

The other stuff about people being too waffly in their votes or being too sure of themselves D1 just feels like playstyles butting against each other and none of it feels particularly compelling.

It's more how many votes other people had. 5 votes on someone with none on anyone else is different than 5 versus two people with 4 or 3. And calling the second scenario a bandwagon is weird.

Since you've said you miss getting D1 turbo'd and all, why dont we lunch you to see if maybe your suspicions on tith and Gaspy are coming from a scum perspective?

Or maybe you're not really cool with getting lunched D1 and just trying real hard to look all cool and unconcerned

I actually agree with you. We've kinda stormed straight through jokephase a lot earlier than I would have anticipated, which seems odd to me.

The thing is, if you're anti-town and driving this, I don't understand what exactly you get out of it. imo that's probably the more interesting puzzle at this point in time.

Put me up there with scum and I won't complain!

Is your heart really in this vote, Bif? Because your head sure isn't.

They are. But in my experience nobody cares about your opinions after you're dead.

Like the literal first thing I do every time someone dies is reread all their interactions based on their flip.

Your opinions literally become vastly more valuable when you die because they contain solid information.
