Well this has been a super interesting evening, but it's time for me to turn in for the night.

I have seen scum games from quite a few posters and can't wait to start making meta calls that everyone will ignore, but y'all fuckers (and I suppose myself included) aren't posting very much.

Here's to an eventful and productive tomorrow! Cheers!

I'll be done posting after this, unless I get invited back in.

Just gonna go on record that this was an absolutely genuinely lovely thing to do from a mod perspective.

I did not request to be subbed out.
I was actively participating in this game.
I was enjoying this game.
I had been keeping my promise to not poo poo post
I was using today to sit back and watch the thread and observe the way players were interacting.

I honestly thought this was in retaliation for the joke posting I was doing in the mafia thread
But instead EccoRaven was looking for my replacement BEFORE the jokes even started. <<Seriously have a look.

So yeah.
You replaced me out after I kept all my promises.

That's a super lovely thing to do to a player.

those are indeed some bad posts and two bad votes

working my way through the popular convos

the FL push about breadcrumbing is pretty bad but I don't really know FL's game. seems more dumb than scum at the moment

reading Tobbs since he seems to be in a hot seat of sorts

CAUGHT UP and now for takes so hot they need a warning label to avoid a lawsuit

-Tobbs is town. I am a tobbs expert and he is tree this game.

-I do not like MMT's attempt to jam me up with the whole "oohhhhh I forgot moat was in the game" this makes me not feel so hot about her

-SSV is likely scum looking at his post history

-Kash's PR is annoying but I am getting town vibes from him

-pera needs to be stopped before she loses her mind like what is happening in poo poo talking chutes and ladders rn

-OMG reads as a new player bored without a PR trying to spice things up

-Chores is null for me right now

-TMM is on notice because if he continues in the fashion he is currently on without picking it up I am going to believe that this may be his scum game once again. Not sure yet; giving him time.

aaaaand now I will calmly wait in a state of zen meditation for bird to begin tunneling me.

Indifferent, leaning slightly towards scum because I don't like how he jumped on FL whose post seemed more dumb than scum.

"I do not claim any special powerful abilities whatsoever, indeed I am quite ineffectual... Dr. Pereau would always be very cross with me when I made a mistake. I wish very sincerely to resolve this matter quickly, in the hopes that we can successfully both catch the guilty culprits and return to our research.

Chic and I are well-acquainted - nice to see you again - and her points towards me are good. I will admit to a guilty disposition and a resting bitch-face. Despite regularly being innocent in these scenarios and guilty in games of a different nature. I return after an hour or two to hundreds of posts of bickering and it is very hard for me to parse. I am doing my best, though I recognize I am not offering much positive contribution."


(That said, doc switched me back to Xanax today sooooo my reading comprehension should get a boost tomorrowish. 21 players is a lot, jesus.

Regarding Chutes and Ladders, Moat, if you believe I remain sane after what you've already witnessed from me... I don't know what to tell you. Lost my mind was years ago.)

okay, nevermind. I shouldn't try reading this game when I'm drunk.

Tobbs is highly suspicious, and his all "you gonna kill a townie, it gonna be me" sounds like a scum ploy to redirect votes.

there is only one hell:
the one we live in now
:d: There are fewer than 24 hours left in the game day. (In fact there's only about 21 left now.)

:siren: If nobody has the required votes to be executed by the deadline, there will be no execution.


As an aside: I will use the metric of "has fewer posts than the moderator" to determine who I will prod once the night starts. As of this post I have 30 posts. Most players don't have that yet but I won't be posting much tomorrow except for the occasional votecount so you have plenty of time to catch up!

Prods are totally harmless though so don't be too worried either way.

Okay and break!

That vote on pera is a complete nonsequitur that you can't possibly have arrived at naturally.

This was after voting Max for voting pera, which was strange to me. pera's joke was based on a pregame thing that easily could have been looked over - it's pregame! Not to mention he immediately claims he's ok with a pera vote anyway, which, :psyduck::

Pinterest Mom posted:

Otoh there's a 0% chance I'm going to be reading any in-character posts so I'm down to kill pera

It's just weird! Like, that vote on Max wasn't exactly based on a huge thing, it had a really obvious explanation, and yet it's not until alllll the way after I blew up the thread by overanalyzing a dumb joke that he puts down...

Why?

Pinterest Mom posted:

I'm good, thanks.

I mean, it didn't get left at that, but that's not a good initial reaction. Here's the actual reason, a few posts later after a prod:

Pinterest Mom posted:

lmao i'm not repeatedly emptyvoting

TG is jumping on a vote that's gaining traction with a specious made-up argument there's No Scummier Behaviour

For context, Tobbs came in and was talking about Pmom's lack of justification for votes between those last two posts. The weird thing is Tobbs wasn't even voting anyone during this time! In fact, [i]Tobbs never actually mentioned Pmom until after Pmom's vote[i], so this justification doesn't make any sense - unless Pmom was referring to a different Tobbs vote, in which case, that absolutely should have been explained, and wasn't. I'd vote him for this alone.

Okay, moving on:

I mean, if you want to talk about traction, Keane mentioned something in that series of posts that stood out:

CCKeane posted:

So why vote SSV? Tobbs has momentum.

Max was the most recent vote on Pmom before SSV's vote. That was three pages earlier. It's almost exactly as much earlier as Slamburger's vote on Tobbs was before Pmom voted Tobbs, actually.

We think so! If you check votefinder, you can see that once the Tobbs ball starts picking up people, Pmom immediately runs away with a pretty sad vote.
