8 on the Kinsey scale
CCKeane is the winner of this challenge! As a reward for his proficiency with the pen, he wins, a Golden Sword, fashioned to look like a writer's quill.

But wait, there's more!

For winning the HUMOR category, Keane receives a Silver Sword shaped like a pencil

Ecco, for winning both the Creativity and Technical Prowess categories, you receive Two Silver Swords, both shaped like pencils.

Each of you may keep up to ONE of these swords. The other must be given away in-thread to a player of your choosing. If you so desire, you may give away the second as well.

I am fine voting for:

Consider my vote on all three of them.

imgay has, once more, done nothing this game. Not even an illusion of content (which you're so dead set on me having created).

At this point, hindsight copping merk's case isn't going to do us any good. I have pointed out multiple times that Opop and QPQ had odd timings and reasonings for their votes. I also believe that the bandwagons (and the voting, in general) were much too clean for Anarc to be scum. The only one actively trying to divert pressure away from Anarc was Anarc herself, which makes sense if she's town.

The only cases on Anarc were the following:

yuming posted:

Anon has 28 posts and hasn't voted.

Look it's easy-- ##vote Anon


Pinterest Mom posted:

I think this post sufficiently proves Anarc is scum. I'm happy to be as invested in scum hunting as murmur is.

There are more posts that PMom made on the subject following that, which were basically "so fake scumhunting is good enough, hmmm?" (Directed at Anarc, of course).


How is this a case? I truly do not understand how this caused Anarc to be a frontrunner.

----

Oh. I found a better case:

garthoneeye posted:

ANarc"s posting is weird.
She attacks Imgay for shitposting which is Imgay's MO, but then seems to let him off the hook for his first semi-game related post.

When called out on it, she then tries to act as if she wasn't implying that Imgay had started to contribute.


I don't know how to feel about her post about Murmur.
She defends a terrible case and then tries to act as if the resulting posting about said case somehow validates her defence.

Which I'm pretty sure no one ever commented on. If they did, it was drowned out by PMom's sparklees. This one I can see.


----

Does imgay really do this every game? How the hell does he get a pass for this?

----

I still think Opop's vote yesterday is the most suspicious. His vote tied up the bandwagons and started the momentum for the blitz. He certainly hasn't done anything today to make me change my mind.

Opopanax posted:

I don't know there were like 200 posts when I came in after that so I didn't pay much attention

CCKeane posted:

I think reading Narco's post history will give a good and obvious overview of why a lot of people are voting her, but I will make a formal case: Similar to Goo, Narco is hedging and not making terribly many meaningful cases or points. Take this:


This is a hedged post. Narco gave herself an opening to agree with MMT's case and vote alongside it, but also back out. She doesn't call anybody scum, but instead "clears" MMT. Scum know who town are, and making town calls are very, very easy to do.


You see the same behavior here - a largely contentless post that avoids pressing anybody as scum.


Again, Narco calls somebody town while not providing meaningful content or cases. Narco agrees that making cases is helpful to town while not making a single case day one.


Note that she is not even calling PMom scum, but merely incorrect town.

Nacro is scum.


So I was getting hammered (verbally, not mechanically) by you during this time and missed this. It also came after no one was voting further on Anon, so I missed it in trying to wrap my head around the blitz on yuming.

You're right. That is a lot of town truisms, and is a much better case than anyone else has given on anyone.

I'm still quite certain opop is scum, but that's definitely convincing.

Which raises the question why no one switched their vote. I wasn't there, and clearly I'm an idiot, so that's my excuse.

KingB and TMM said they'd be fine with either and didn't switch (probably a momentum thing), even though 2 switching at that point would have been a huge momentum swing. QPQ disagreed due to a meta argument, which PMom shot down.

I stand by QPQ being suspicious, Opop being scum, but Anarc's looking better and better for a target.

Just reread QPQ to see if I can figure out what is pinging me and I can't put my finger on it. But on reread, I still feel it very strongly.

Yeah, it was mostly a momentum thing for me. I became equally fine with either vote, was already on Yuming and I believe at the time Yuming was still in the lead by 1? I was ready to flip tho.
