Suddenly, hambeet swings a giant hook around Cube's neck, cleaving his head from his body!

CubicalSucrose, Gian Carlo Menotti of the TOWN, was killed D1!

quote:

You are Gian Carlo Menotti, one of the most enduring midcentury voices in American opera. Although most of your works have not entered the standard repertoire, excerpts from them (both solo works and ensembles) have become ubiquitous as teaching tools for young singers. Perhaps your work deserves to be celebrated more than it is; you wrote at a time when atonal serialism was the fashion in American composition. You are TOWN-aligned and win when all threats to the town have been eliminated.

You have the following characteristics:

Amahl and the Night Visitors: At night you may deliver a gift to another player. This gift has one of three properties, which you must choose from:
-Ward: When used, protects the bearer from death. (Blue Gift)
-Bomb: When used, gives the player a permanent Hated stack. (Red Gift)
-Shield: When used, negates a random action performed on the player that night. (Green Gift)
Each property may only be used once. You may only deliver three gifts.

The Old Maid and the Thief: At night you may rob a player, stealing any items they hold.

The Consul: Because of your allegiance to an authoritarian state, you are hard to kill. You are passively Loved.

The day continues.

I won't be around for deadline, so I'm just going to tell y'all to vote cube instead.

Would also be okay with shwinn and keats

In light of that flip I think Yami is likely town for this post and further posts pushing e.g., Egalz to state a position on Cube. That degree of boldness and also badgering others to move that way *with explanations* seems towny

Illusionis posted:

My eyes kinda glazed over reading all that meta discussion, but a d1 doc claim under no pressure seems like really bad townplay, so I'm considering voting Cube as he could be doing a weird scum gambit.

^^^ This post stinks, though.

Lazy post pushing an easy D1 target. ##vote Illusionis

Ugh.

I don't really have time to do a full reread before deadline anymore.

I do think this flip does makes Keats look worse though.

Specifically because of this bolded bit

Yami Fenrir posted:

On Keats:

I'm not sure if I trust the miller claim.

Keat seems to have done the normal miller thing (tm) of claiming it immediately, but then did... gently caress all with it.

Including using it as an excuse for lurking:

I know Keats as a pretty aggro player, so this seriously sticks out to me. Does anybody know keats scum meta? Is keats more lurky as scum?

And ofc there's the whole shebang around cube. I seriously do not like that bit. It reads basically hand-crafted to throw shade at cube while avoiding actually giving a statement one way or another.

Additionally, just like shwinn they vote cube for seemingly non content reasons:

only to then unvote soon after.

##vote Keats

I would also agree with an illu vote.

Yami Fenrir: Jan 25, 2015; Is it I that is insane... or the rest of the world?

I don't mind one way or another tbh, most of my reads were centered around cube which just got shot sooo

I'll vote either, but I'm going to bed in like an hour so I'd like to know which one people are preferring rn in general

# ? Jan 14, 2024 20:08

hambeet: Sep 13, 2002

i'm probably very easily going to vote one of keats, illu, meen, humalong and maybe wins or tm.

Not voting Hum today.

Prefer Keats, but can go for Moritz and Illu. Maybe Meen and Rhymes if they cruise by until deadline.

Illusionis posted:

What do you not understand? Is this post missing a sentence or something?

Illusionis posted:

Which one would that be then?

Illusionis posted:

I thought you were referring to something else since you said somebody and not Wins since he literally just posted that

Illusionis posted:

And if you agree with his post can you translate it for me? Cause I really don't get what he's saying

A selection of stinky posts imo, ##vote illu

Mr. Humalong: May 7, 2007

To clarify: Illusionis started the game trying to float the idea egalz did a 'fake vote' on purpose, then when that didn't seem to gain much traction he hopped over to trying to jump on RWC and parked a vote there. Then he's spent the rest of the game day defending himself from a single post (plus one throwaway post about beet's dayvig).

# ? Jan 14, 2024 20:25

it's not a great case but it feels, to me, like someone afraid to do much beyond defend themself.
