Somber is responding to an obvious fakeclaim by dongs w a hedgy post indicating that he like 70% believes it and regrets having to vote me, and asking me to explain. That's 100% scum Somber.

I don't get the party discussion w/r/t to dongs, maybe I'm missing something. We already know there are four different parties and some independents in the senate. Is the presumption that dongs scum slipped about that based around the thought that "All scum must belong to a single party?" Because, while that's possible, I think it's unlikely.

there's a town lion flip in the sample flip so i don't think it's that easy.

every time i scroll past that list of weapons i start giggling uncontrollably.

To be fair all of the political parties are kind of poo poo in one way or another.

I mean, the gulls are kind of okay once you remember that Arrentia probably would try to invade, but it's not like isolationism really works anyways :shrug:

Right, thanks for clarifying. I don't think, then, that "All town are Lions" is the right take away from that.

How do the Pinks even get elected anyways, there can't be enough wealthy descendants of nobility kicking around to be a viable voting bloc.

Are they just like, bribing people to vote for the Pinks or something.

It's a giant imperialistic empire, so basically exactly what Jocasta would have wanted.

I mean, unless you're talking about why they aren't invading right now, but I think that's a "Why buy the cow when you get the milk for free" situation.

Yeah, I questioned dongs because I'm a fish. I wanted to see if he would just pull a party out of no where or if scum somehow weren't totally aware that town could be more than just the lion party.

it is a mystery, perhaps in the future you should consult this fictional country on how to effectively run a republican government.

I think Somber's vote on Pinterest makes more sense as a calculated scum play than Pinterest's flipout does. If Pinterest disregards it, Somber can play it off as a joke, and doesn't risk anything. If Pinterest reacts, they're the one that looks suspicious for being touchy, and if they do manage to start turning it around on Somber, it can still be played off as a joke.

Pinterest flipping out has basically no upside and brings a shitload of suspicion.

##unvote this line of thinking makes me extremely uncomfortable. i thought dong's post was really really funny, something about blowdart tubes and sniper rifles had me genuinely laughing out loud. Pin's reaction seems like a stupid play for scum. I feel better about you as scum because you're almost aggressively avoiding making alignment calls. Lotsa weasel words.

But seriously though, refusing to go back to your 1 or 2 vote reasoning is odd. Why the hardline stance. It isn't like you've been shouting the same thing from the rafters such that anyone can go back and look, you said a thing, you voted.

Why the hard line rhetoric?
