Can someone give me a short version of the case on QPQ?

For me the big thing is that I find a lot of his casing to give the impression of being super well done and thought out but is in fact pretty flimsy which he admits in his first couple of posts. MCS did a big post on him that is pretty good, but I'm actually not sure what MCS opinion on QPQ is/was, he could've just as easily been antagonizing him as making an actual case.

QuoProQuid posted:

That's a pretty substantial shift to make over an evening. What exactly caused that? You quote the exact same post as part of both reads.

There were two things that changed it for me. The first was I read it this morning with a clearer mind as opposed to last night where I read the 12 pages in one go at around 2 am. Also, I read the individual post histories as opposed to reading the thread in itself. I don't actually know if that's better or worse but I prefer it personally, not only because it's a way easier and less dense way to read up on people. Doing so like that you don't get the antagonism of MCS posts and his case seems a bit more solid. Also, for me, it pointed out the sort flimsy fabrication I'm getting from your posts.

You use someone's who's just replaced in an skimmed the game is 12 minutes' reaction to that to see if they looked in the scumdoc and saw there were no night actions/someone told them their vote didn't count. It's pretty simple.

I don't have any strong suspicions at the moment, may need to do a reread sometime. I'm not as suspicious of QPQ as I was earlier, his play looks about the same as what I've seen from him in other games (links in all his posts and all) and he's one of the few players I feel is really trying to contribute.

The Ninth Layer

I think there is probably something to the idea that Ecco would have worked up an early case on his scumbuddy LUTR to punch the ticket on distancing. Their exchange looked more like friendly sparring than any real suspicion behind it.

I'll hold my vote until I can do a reread though.

Having gone through LUTR, his content is just as as unexceptional as I remembered. He has lots of jokevotes (1), (2) but that's not exactly noteworthy in this game. His only major contributions until Met's lynch is his defense of Gridlocked (4) (5) which is only weird because of his previously laid-back demeanor, and his sparing with Ecco (6), (7), (8) which I had initially used in LUTR's benefit. Now, I'm not entirely sure. As TNL says (9), the exchange comes off much less extreme than I remember.

The crux of my suspicions still boil down to the last moments of yesterday. I really don't like how defensive he gets when Mets and MEDS cast suspicion on him (10). His explanation for this behavior, and his thoughts on why Met was pulling a gambit seem weak to me (11).

Also, I dislike the Shanakin lynch (12). I won't mourn his passing if it happens, but it comes off to me as an exceptionally lazy play. The Ecco Gambit, which seems to be LUTR's reasoning for the lynch (Ibid)works more in theory than in practice, where it can act as smokescreen for scum looking for an easy target.

With CCKeane's vote resolved, we're at a four-way tie. I'd rather if we put our heads together to get a bit more consensus. I'll reread 100 Yrs and Shanakin to see if there is something exceptional that I missed.

As with before, who is here right now and will be around for the deadline?

Infinite Jest is one of the great American novels. It gets talked about a lot, but that it because it is quite good. I recommend it!

In exchange for this book recommendation, please vote Sharkakin.

You should probably start with the short story collection Oblivion first as Infinite Jest is pretty hard to get into if you have no knowledge of his style before starting. f'real don't get me started on Wallace rants in this thread.

btw I don't even know what the Ecco gambit is?

A few brief thoughts on 100 Yrs: I remember liking her content yesterday and for her Her opening bout of impressions, that remains true (1), (2). I like the rapid fire attempt to catch-up and very little about those first few posts trip me up. Where I start to have a problem is with her retort to Pinterest Mom, which comes off as oddly menacing (3). I've noted the flip-flop on myself, and while 100 Yrs explanation for this shift makes sense, the event still reads to me as off. I also have an issue with this post (4) which gives me really bad ~~vibes~~. I am not sure if I can entirely articulate why this post gives me such a bad feeling, except by saying that it accomplishes nothing but bemoaning yesterday's lynch. It also seems obvious to me where scum were, likely supporting Met's lynch, but for 100 Yrs this is apparently an issue of contention.

Overall: Started off with good town vibes, which slowly eroded as I went through her posts. Still would prefer to lynch LUTR, but I see 100 Yrs as a good alternative candidate.
