Nah I'm a player, it looks like Mikujin left CPig in as a player and me as a spectator from the dark days when this game was dead. I pinged him in my confessional to fix it.

Also Amnistar/Hal, feel free to fill me in on what's bothering you about my posts when you figure it out! In the meantime, let's all continue to appreciate how this is a real actual vote that's even been doubled down on:

Imp, could you please comment on anyone else in the game? ##vote 2 penny bottle imp

In the meantime - my vote on Squiggly was for lurking (##unvote) in line with what I assumed Sandwolf/Hum's votes on Nep and CPig were - but CPig isn't playing and now that I look back Nep was already posting. Sandwolf, what's with the Nep vote?

Could you clarify - your unvote 'against squiggly' came after your vote on me. So that cancels your vote against me, right? Is that accidental, or is your vote against me just showmanship?

Good morning crew,

I'd like to announce that Det. Podima has shown great initiative and is new to the force.

I know you all thought officer pig would be present, but the dirty rats in IA transfered him to another precinct.

Det. Squiggly is that booze on your breath? Did you forget you were on a case?

Agreed, as I am your police chief.

Det. Podima, I'm sure you've witnessed officer gulag's marked vitriol regarding his commanding officers.

You can point to his performance in Chief Toalpaz's Umineko or Mr. Steak's passive abilities or Chief Toalpaz's Vtubers... Officer Gulag has it out for their dear old chief. I'm a mean sumbitch, and occasionally not 100% above board, so I don't blame them, but it's OMGUS territory if anything.

If Officer Gulag actually has a stake for the title of Police Chief I'd be quite interested in hearing it.

Oh I realized I never addressed this - I recall Gulag complaining in some previous game's deadchat about how nobody listened to him when he was very obviously counterclaiming someone else, and didn't want history to repeat itself with a "lol it's just that wacky ole Gulag" hence the pointed question.

Because I wasn't clear before, Ill lay out the reason for my vote and why I sustained it;

Right at the start, Gulag said he was reverse miller. And I don't like early fakeclaims like this on principle as it muddies the water; crap in the beginning provides flexibility for breadcrumbing nonsense later on.

Eventually Gulag complained about AA doing the police chief thing, which in my head was a similar concept to his fakeclaim. Leaving aside that the reverse miller may have been a joke (again, I don't care for that type of early chatter)... ehhh it just struck me as hypocritical. Then yesterday Gulag omgus!'d 2 people, so my vote remained.

If consensus is just that the reverse miller thing shouldnt be given any weight, then I could change my vote.

I'm on board for this tbqh -- phoneposting last night so wasn't very verbose. I don't know Gulag's meta (but it sounds pretty shitposty) and I hate meta defenses, so he's posting weird pseudo-claims and OMGusing for no reason and being very "weird and forced" and that's enough for me in the context of everything that's been posted thus far.

I need to be very deliberate with my voting this game, instead of my usual willy-nilly, but ##vote Gulag

Chief AA is obviously out leader and should be listened to. You don't get to become police chief at random.

I'm just enjoying AA's commentary as a police chief so much that I am certain he is town at least for the first couple of days.

This on the other hand is not good, why are you focusing in on Gulag here and giving flavorposters like AA and Birb a pass? (Though I do see you're prodding Birb about the lie detector.) It's weird to double down on Gulag when the post you quoted is explaining how they might be open to backing off.

I'm also not a fan of the WELL MY VOTING WILL BE DELIBERATE, it feels self-conscious.

To be very clear - I still firmly disagree with 2penny's assertions, but the fact that there's clearly some kind of internal logic behind them helps.

The stuff being called out about Gulag is no worse than any other Day 1 shitposting, and I'm skeptical of people who are using it as an excuse to not meaningfully comment on other things.

Writing it off as shitposting is easy and the type of meta defense I don't like.

He's counterclaiming AA without making any counterclaim, he's being OMGUSy for no reason.

Getting opinions out there is townie, you're making calls and taking stances to be analyzed by others.

I'll further clarify for you, detective... my opinion of this teams collective performance is based on the individuals willingness to engage mostly at this point and the sincerity behind the words they've put down.

Some officers are all protocol, some are all jokes. Im looking for the officers who are abusing protocol and playing it off like jokes.

So far the closest I've seen come to that is birb, but i take that detectives work less seriously in general and am confident in my ability to determine if he's loving around as the work week progresses.
