Why plastic, here? Can you elaborate on why you want to specifically save Plastic in what is presumably a zero sum game?

Plastic has 14 posts, the lowest post count. That's it.

But if plastic posts more, that would throw the explosion to another player, right?

So why do you want to specifically save Plastic? Is your read that strong?

You noticed I said the same thing to Hal and Maer, right? As of this post, the other two players with the lowest post counts are Illusionis and ANarc, which I'm happy voting for.

But Plastic has very few posts this game, right? And most of those are very short, and many are irrelevant to the game. It's day one, that's fine, that's not necessarily scummy, but why is that sufficient to try to actively avoid plastic getting killed as a result of low post count?

That being said, Plastic, buddy, please post more. You're the one at risk of exploding now and we only have 27 hours left.

Is substantially more emphatic and has a greater sense of urgency than you posts relating to Hal and Maer, which are much weaker, with your comment to Maer being nearly invisible - I certainly didn't capture your intention was to give a direct plea to Maer when I read your post history, and I don't think it feels the same as your plea to plastic.

Importantly and relevantly, I can't see a major difference between Plastic and Illusionis in posts today, certainly not one that gives a strong preference, and I'd like to explore that.

Probably because you're only reading my post history and not the thread, where me and Maer's interaction on the matter was obvious. I wonder why you weren't paying much attention to the thread?

That could be the case but as someone who always sees Plastic as scum, he seems fine this game so far.

So this is the post you're referencing about plastic, right?

But, again, I'm wondering where you're getting a strong read from, when Plastic has few posts.

I guess where I'm hitting here is that it does seem really strange to me to be able to get a read on the two lowest post count players, to the point that you are willing to put effort toward one over the other. Vibes can be legit, for sure, but can you link posts of Illusionis' where you got pinged?

Bluntly, because I frequently can only check the thread at limited times, and usually I just look to see if something is jumping out at me and then check post history to catch up otherwise. I frequently have limited internet access at work, and often I can't jump in the thread while it is going.

You are the only one talking about "strong reads". It's funny how you keep repeating that phrase as if to say later "hey guys, remember wologar's ~strong read~ on Plastic?" I don't think you're arguing this on good faith.

You have a relatively townier read on Plastic than Illusions, let's explore that.

Alright, well, I think I'm voting wologar. Here's my logic:

wologar posted:

Friends! I have it on good authority that the crewmate with the least number of posts will EXPLODE the following day.

Please say no to floating limbs. Think of the janitor.

So this feels like an active ability that wologar has. Maybe wologar can vig kill the lowest poster? Or something similar? Who knows!

But I do think this is real.

So who has this information, right? There's not a post from HCT. I didn't get a bomb warning in my PM. So I think wologar is trying to put a veil over an ability to add a layer of passivity to a quite possibly anti town event. If wologar does have this ability, then concealing information from town is harmful.

Now the part that's getting me afterwards is the attempts to direct it - I'm was wondering what was happening there. I was fairly neutral in my original question:

CCKeane posted:

Why plastic, here? Can you elaborate on why you want to specifically save Plastic in what is presumably a zero sum game?

And there's a lot of ways to answer that that are really reasonable - "I think Plastic is townier than Illusionis" IS a VERY reasonable answer, and it'd track with Wologars behavior up to this point. But Wologars answer was this:

wologar posted:

Plastic has 14 posts, the lowest post count. That's it.

Which I responded to with:

CCKeane posted:

So why do you want to specifically save Plastic? Is your read that strong?



And wologar followed up with:

wologar posted:

So NOW we get an argument that makes sense - and if wologar simply said this, I think I'd be satisfied!

But the post here raises the question as to why wologar made the earlier "Plastic has 14 posts, the lowest post count, that's it." I can't track the logic of that response.

And, the BIG one for me, is that wologar doesn't just say "Illusionis is scummier than Plastic in my opinion" - wologar tries to deflect it by saying wologar did the same thing earlier, with Hal and Maer. It doesn't track with me - I think those posts feel different, and I think it's also bringing up another situation to make this one look better.

I think wologar is lying.

If they were both scum, that would go in scum chat. So I think what you're saying by voting wolo is that plastic is town, but the only reason is bc wolo said they should post more.

I just think this whole thing is extremely manufactured and makes no sense.

Wologar, when pressed, offered a nonsensical reason, then deflected by comparing a post to Maer and Hal, then declined to expand on reasons why Illusionis is scummier than Plastic.

Plastics alignment is almost irrelevant here (if plastic were to flip scum, obvs thats something else)

But the logic and response doesnt make sense to me, so I think wologar is scum. It's cool if people think I'm scum, I don't care about that, and everybody tends to want to execute me every game because I'm very annoying so eh.

But I think a big thing is that town tend to have consistent logic and reasoning, even if that logic is "something hit me wrong on that post, and I can't explain it so I think they're scum". I pressed wologar on the logic laid out, and I'm not satisfied it was genuine.

I'd ask folks to consider how they'd post if they were in Wologars position - wouldn't you lead with "Illusionis is scummier than Plastic?"
