Pod I both get a gut town read off as well as agreeing we shouldn’t punish people who are actually going to contribute, so again would rather not vote for pod.

NGO is guilty of basically the same style of play as TQ PLUS lurking so I’d vote for him.

what do you mean, the same style of play? How can you even tell?

Starting to think we got a Pod/Gaspy scumteam here, buds :dance:

See the problem with saying this is that now Pod knows it's just pressure.

well it's not even pressure if I can't get anyone else to bloody vote with me :/

But yeah I'm feeling real uneasy about Pod and Gaspy being scum backing each other up right now. That push for "NGO having the same play as TQ" sounds completely fake from Gaspy, there is nothing there to actually draw any similarities like that.

Are you feeling alright? They’re doing the same stuff, NGO with intent, TQ with “joke votes”. Playing follow the leader in a way that diminishes all accountability. Also to get a bit meta here, if I was scum I wouldn’t be standing up for pod. If he took any heat I’d either avoid him or (infinitely more likely) bus him hard for cred :v:

NGO literally has six posts, only two of them actually related to the game being played wherein he says, paraphrasing

"who should I vote for"
and
"looking forward to voting for tobbs and gnawed"

Not sure I buy gaspys reasoning here that TQ and NGO have the same style of play because TQ is interacting and discussing, even if his tone is off to me, whereas NGO strikes me as utterly disinterested in the game entirely.

NGO "with intent", oh ok, that sounds like a rather different style of play though, especially from someone who likes to analyse the language people use, and NGO has barely given us any. I think you overreached and need to retcon here.

No I think people need to stop over extrapolating “same style of play” to weird hyper-literal conclusions. It’s a comment on one aspect of their gameplay, the motive. Pretending I was claiming they were identical is loving dumb. If they had that strong a similarity I’d be calling it out a gently caress of a lot harder.

even if they do have the exact same motives and intentions, doing so through lurking like hell and doing so while giving us actual posts to go on is still a very big difference in playing style. Even if you dont agree for some reason that it's a relevant difference, it's kind of silly for you to act like it's some totally unthinkable way to react to your post.

Intelligent and bright, they explored a world that was new and strange to them. They liked it, they thought - a whole world just for them! They were dimly aware that a God had created them, was watching them; they called out to him, thanking him in a chittering language, before running off.
My work schedule got messed up, I had to actually show up in the am my time, sneaking a post out on the line. I'll be off at least an hour before deadline, hopefully two though, so it isn't all bad.

I would be happy with an ngo lurker vote, am still pretty suspicious of pod.

Bear in mind it was written at 837am, while on a commute from a poo poo nights sleep, so it's worded poorly and crankily

my general philosophy for day 1 has always been that data points are non-existant*, so it is difficult to make an informed choice - which is why the day needs to be stretched as long as possible for peoples opinions and poo poo to get out there into the game, that becomes a data point later in the game

It's poorly phrased, but that's what I'm putting out there, I'm absolutely not saying DON'T VOTE, DON'T CASE, JUST FREEZE IN PLACE SOLID FOR 3 DAYS.

lol not just literal, but HYPER literal! Interpreting "same style of play" to mean "posting in a similar way, in this game which is played by posting" is just that far beyond reason!!

I agree with you here. I really don't see how you get any motive/style of play at all out of NGO's posts, and the further explanations don't really follow for me.

Might help if you read and took your own conclusions from their posts, but it boils down to, paraphrasing

1/ Gaspy said TQ and NGO had similar posting styles
2/ Bif asked how, given TQ was posting, and NGO wasn't
3/ Gaspy said that NGO was lurking "with intent" and piggybacking, with TQ piggybacking
4/ Bif points out that by his own definition, they don't have similar posting styles, and she's pinged that as scummy.
