i'll be harpo


That feels like my kinda business Maigius!!

Nah I’ve got a foot injury and been laid up and been pretty miserable about being immobile so I’ve just been low on effort for internet games.
I’m on the mend though and I am reading along.
I don’t have any strong scum reads yet. I’m p sure xopods is town (completely apart from any of the discord stuff) and I feel like Somber is posting sincerely.

I cannot read flerp but that one post felt genuine in its frustration.

Something about Chic is pinging me but I can’t quite put my finger in it. Like they’re posting and present but purposefully trying to avoid any scumhunting.

This still feels good to me.

Voting for the joke is fine, voting because voting new players isn't cool is trash and bad.

Mr. Humalong posted:

Yes, any vote day 1 on a newbie is too lovely

Especially one that tries to play it as paranoia



Mr. Humalong posted:

I saw your role PM and saw you were some Duchess or Lady or something. Beyond that all I saw was that you were vanilla scum. I immediately notified the amazing and skilled mod about this error caused by, undoubtedly, Discord and not at all an error on the mod’s part.

Then a few of us joked about how we were all part of the xopods masonry because we could all see your confessional. We also joked about turboing you day 1 for any flimsy reason because Toal would do something insidious like not actually reroll everyone’s flavor. Everyone’s confessionals were visible yours was just the first one Toal posted in.

That’s the joke explained to death and now I have to ##unvote because I didn’t want to give away the joke but welp it’s done now

Any flimsy reason to turbo. How is that town oriented play in a 9 player game.

Hum votes xopod allegedly for voting a new player early on prior to boogie revealing the mod error and in-joke, but then hum does this big, explanatory write up post, as if he needed a reason to unvote xopod sincerely. It just seems unnecessary and that paired with some of his remarks over all has left me pretty suspicious of him.

it was pretty explicitly his list of early gut reads tho, i agree it'd be suspicious if he tried to make a more serious case outta that but he didn't even vote NLK

xopods posted:

Did anyone other than Dmboogie actually see my original role PM? I didn't.

He says I was vanilla scum and there was no masonry, despite the channel apparently having been called "masonry-xopods."

And I would hope that if there was a masonry containing a scum which was revealed, Toal would either redesign the whole setup or at least that part of it. Because if they just reassigned roles without changing the setup, we would know that one of the masons is Scum. (Though of course we're getting into mod WIFOM territory here... would Toal leave Masons in the game but make them both Town instead? Or RNG their alignments?)

Anyway, unless 2+ people both say they saw the role PM and claim the same thing about what it said, I think we should assume that we don't actually know anything about the setup. Because the correct thing for Toal to do would be redesign the setup on the fly because it's not hard to do so for a 9-player minimalist setup with few mechanics and not much flavor. For instance, my actual role PM does have a decent paragraph of flavor but it has very little to do with my role or lack thereof beyond establishing my affiliation with the good guys.

All this quoted text because I glazed over some stuff earlier. Hum having a lengthy explanation as part of his unvote in response to xopods seems entirely valid. I disagree with NLK.

I agree there is something 'weird' about the interactions between nlk and hum, but I don't know how to vocalize what that is. I feel fairly hesitant to vote either, but between the two I would vote Nlk.

After a few minutes of reflection and quiet contemplation, I have decided the flerp and Nlk votes are the most interesting to me. I will vote either. Sorry if I'm off flerp but your immediate response read a little disproportionate.

I do feel like there is something in xopods tone that is bothering me but I can't figure it out yet. Regardless, he's driving content and that's valuable.

Leaning town on chic. Don't want to cut the newbie or Sandy because that feels mean.
