Well I like your reasoning behind telling people not to turbo, I like MMM's level of engagement and drive to create content and I like Somber's attempts to push people to explain their opinions. All three of you read like you're coming from legit places.

Well, three reads are not all reads. All three could well be town.

I'm proud of you, Bender. Sure, you lost. You lost bad. But the important thing is I beat up someone who hurt my feelings in high school.

I do actually. It seems like something really stupid for you to post as scum.

Just for the record I don't like the idea of putting down a vote for someone with 2 votes on them already then potentially walking away for a while without a lot of justification. I don't really buy Rarity as scum over that post, and if Op is just pushing a bit that's one thing but there's no way its convincing enough to vote and walk away on.

Somber I'd like your own thoughts on why Rarity is scummy, you waited on a reaction to push an actual vote but you kind of just echoed Ops idea that it was a scum post without adding much yourself

Rarity, whats your read on Op? He lead on a serious vote for you and all your reads are town but you didn't include him in your list of reads. For that matter whats your read on me?

that's some crap! I didn't "admit" anything, that's manipulative language to obscure what actually happened.

1. I see a bunch of votes for opop and calls for a turbo.
2. I say "don't turbo opop"
3. You wonder why I responded the way I did.
4. I say it's because a turbo is a bad decision.
5. You say there wasn't risk.
6. I say I wasn't aware of whether or not there was risk.

why am I not allowed to chime and point out that a turbo would be dumb whether there's risk or not? Me not knowing the number of votes isn't "admitting" anything.

The use of admit is not any different that the tone of this post being "Oh I was just chiming in" It's the pov on the events.

Anyway the problem wasn't you saying that we shouldn't turbo somebody, that's common sense. The problem was that I thought you were doing it for yourself and you were strangely serious about it considering how jokey it was. On a meta level, you're not usually strangely serious, so I was wondering what made you get so real in this game.

Clearly nobody else is seeing this the way I am though so I'll give it a reread.

Fair enough, not interested in bringing up the actual argument itself again so I'll drop it. I'd still like to hear more arguments and less vague accusations from Somber.

Rarity answering my question on Op would also be nice but it looks like I missed the tail end of their posting for today so I'm less concerned with that since I'd rather just get an actual deconstruction of Raritys posts going if we're contemplating running a train on them over this

To me, day 1 has always been useless joking and empty posts so people can raise their post count to avoid suspicion. That being said, I don't play this often. Have there been any games with good day 1 discussions not borne from a stupid scum mistake?

You're not really answering the question scumbo, the only point of that post is to pretend to be engaged. If she was town she would just wait until she saw something scummy, then speak up. The false frustration in that post seems clear.

Honestly I don't read either as particularly scummy I just think Five is spending a lot of time asking other people their opinions instead of posting theirs and I think if we're considering Rarity (and by extension myself if you can buy that I'd spend this much time and effort posting about a fellow scum on D1) I'd like to hear a little bit more as to why.

I think this is a really weird question? That's not really an answer but its how I feel about it at the moment.

Also as to the other question ("I just think Five is spending a lot of time asking other people their opinions instead of posting theirs") The game suddenly turned from jokepost to seriouspost while I was at work way more concerned about lynch time in my other game so I am sussing things out in my own way, thank you very much.

I'm not really that interested in defending Rarity, but I'm just suspicious of how readily people threw down votes without actually providing arguments and I don't buy the reaction as being bad enough to double down over.

Still not interested in voting for Rarity today either since I think Five or one of the numerous people yet to really contribute in any meaningful way are a better candidate

I think focusing on the first person to get a serious vote thrown their way is exactly the way to assure a low content D1 environment for scum to hide in is essentially my strategy at the moment. I want broader discussion while we still have some time since I'm likely to be at work during the actual deadline and I'm going to be asleep for at least 6 hours between now and then as well, so I'd like to be able to have some idea of who I actually want to vote for in the next 8 hours
