thank you as, i took the picture of the painting myself

when i took the picture i thought two things

first, "this is me"

second, "this would be a good avatar for my dead comedy forums that i play my silly social manipulation game on"

ha i like mine bc it makes me feel more confident. maybe i should spin it round but it may not contain the same level of disdain that i appreciate from it now.

i hope your dad is doing well also

i think miller first post claims are a good idea. i realise that pod hasn't disagreed with this in his post, but the way its phrased and the negative slant makes me feel wary. the second bit i'm wavering between giving advice and subtle fishing.

Don't love how you dropped the vote and waited to explain it till asked, but at least you had the explanation ready even if it's a weak one. (P.S. I've said the same thing about millers in previous games, pretty sure. I find instant claims exceptionally boring gameplay.)

AA's post was difficult to follow in the first place (though apparently others read it more easily than I did) and I'm still not sure I like it. Looking back again, he mentions Max a couple times but never makes an alignment call on him.

i'm always interested in who asks. its day one, i'm not claiming this is some air tight slam dunk, but i think it's worth a vote. i agree the aa post was not easier to read.

what do you think of bowmores response to my initial vote?

i'm also a little suss of sober.

i thought my follow-up was reasonably clear, but again i'm suss of him because of the tone of response to yami plus possible fishing, and trying to make something of something that wasn't there re: aa.

The Ninth Layer posted:

I find these comments suspect for several reasons.

AS simultaneously acknowledges Podima's defense of her accusations but then repeats those accusations to anotherr without any sign of taking Podima's defense to account.

When challenged to explain why Atomic Soda's accusations speak at all to alignment, AS instead simply repeats them verbatim, as if unwilling or unable to explore them further.

AS offers two very disposable, unexplained reads of others here and ends the statement disparaging Asiina's vote and implying Asiina needs to post opinions of others. It is as if Atomic Sofa offered up these quick opinions solely to accuse Asiina of not having done the same.

An assassin should always trust their instincts. Mine are telling me to ##unvote ##vote Atomic Soda

can you please tell me how my pod reads don't speak to my view on his alignment. i'm having trouble figuring out exactly what you want from my day 1 pod case - i smelled fishing, i didn't like the tone of posts, i thought he was stretching a point on aa. god you guys make me feel like the dumbest rear end in a top hat on earth sometimes.

Oh good, another game with a miller? Thanks, Ecco

Good post, I agree.

Somewhat agree with this too although I feel like I've played a game with her recently where she insisted she'd switched up her meta and that turned out to be the case. We'll see.

Lol, our team got so boned because of that mechanic (and because my play sucked, but, y'know).

Feel like this is trying really hard to be a gotcha way too early D1. I don't like it.

Like the gimmick and I know Ecco appreciates it but I ain't reading this much D1, sorry.

I kinda don't either. Consider myself pinged.

That's my "hot takes" for now.

- i don't think its a good post, which i covered.
- last time i played w asiina she was town and rage quit (after significant provocation)
- didn't see cckeanes post as a gotcha, just scum hunting.

"How does "booooo what a boring miller claim" speak at all to alignment, let alone convey a 'negative slant?'

"Where is this fishing you keep talking about? What do you think he was fishing for?

"Why are you still suspicious of him for attempting to clarify a statement you both agreed was hard to parse?"

Above all, why are these same points repeated verbatim as if this case is still worth defending?

- cause yami is a new player, and it felt like a negative comment for an action i thought was a good one.
- i think he might have been fishing for cops, i thought this was the most obvious bit.
- maybe cause i think highly of pod, but also because it felt a little bit like a 'throw something to the wind and see if it sticks".
- i keep getting asked/cased about, plus these are my reasons. i have obviously picked up that you and others think they are rubbish, sorry.

This is basically just Atomic Soda yet again repeating opinions that have not evolved since they were originally expressed. There is no genuine suspicion here, no attempt to persuade anyone of anything. Just the same attempt to legitimize shallow.opinions through sheer repetition.

no they haven't evolved, they are the same reasons i had when i first voted. i have since unvoted. did you want me to make up reasons/arguments? it is interesting you talk about sheer repetition when that is what i am getting from you.

i'm sorry you think my opinions are shallow, you have obviously made your mind up.

"I wanted you to express genuine interest in catching the killer among us." Or any adjustment of opinion since the start of the game.

Regarding the last sentence I feel my eyes begin to roll. What would be the logic behind Atomic Soda, as a cop, drawing attention to an otherwise unnoticed Podima post as an attempt to rolefish? Why would any cop want to initiate this conversation? If this is what AS is implying, it is somewhat dizzying.

can i ask you genuinely how you expect me to respond to this? and your constant repetition of the same question has let me move on how?

i very much regret saying anything about pod despite my suspicions, a spectacularly failed attempt to post more reads earlier. i actually regret being in this game at all atm haha but whatever. you ask for 'any adjustment of opinion since the start of the game', thanks for that. my opinion has adjusted on pod hence the unvote. you seem to really want me to go over and over the same ground again.

this whole post exists to call me stupid, and while that might be the case, it's still not very nice. i'm town but please feel free to kill me, you'll probably be better off without my posting.

Asiina posted:

I believe Sal.

Yami, you are very wrong about basically all of that setup stuff on what is typical, and like I can go into detail but also don't really want to and it won't be particularly useful. Just know that there have been 20+ player games with a single scum team with 5 or more team members, so it's not like that where there's only ever 2-3 scum members.

Anyway, I kinda only skimmed the stuff that happened since I left yesterday. I also had the fleeting thought, like Pod did, that bowmore went so hard on Sal because he was soft counterclaiming, but apparently not.

after bowmmore lunched.

no posts in between

to be clear, i find this scummy because she voted bowmore, then came back afterwards saying she thought he could have been a cop also.

Yeah but that's after a night phase (and almost a full IRL day) passed in between those posts, which I pointed out when Yami tried to say the same thing. Are you reading Asiina's post history in isolation?

i did see that. you seem to be pretty sure asiina is town pod.

i'm saying that there are no posts between her voting bowmore, and her coming to the thread to say she thought bowmore might have been a cop. this to me looks like distancing from her previous vote.

while in joke phase, thought this post was awkward. just a gut ping though.

knowing i'm town, i was suss on her push re: me. i didn't get the same vibe from tnl though that means very little at this stage i realise. i suppose i'm still confused why they thought my case re: pod didn't say why i thought you where scum, but maybe someone can explain it too me after this game lol.

GeneX posted:

- AS is extremely lacking in reads, reasoning for said reads, and basically anything else at all besides a persistent call on Asiina that I frankly don't think deserves the exclusivity she's giving to it. Also the last minute jump even farther away from Yami is bad given his flip.

Anomalous Amalgam posted:

##unvote ##vote yami

I think AS is trying to protect a scum mate here. Her most vote comes with no conviction on a vote that probably would get secured. Yami is probably the right choice.

I do not like your posturing and you are acting like you don't know me as a poster and also like mafia is performed in a vacuum.

There is a ghost in the machine pod.

Your push against me is perfunctory and mechanical and I do not like it. Also you basically are omgusing me but really packaging it like you are not

Also I have a secret theory that is very and I don't think would go over well

As for soda, basically I am expecting more caution from her considering her last scum performance (sorry soda) and I'm not seeing it and it satisfies me that she is town atm

AA posts in a way that makes it impossible for me to tell because he so often is wrong (Sorry aa) I like his engagement atm and so I am less inclined to go scum for him

Podima posted:

Hmm thank you but:

She didn't say my miller post was a good idea but negatively phrased, she said miller claims were a good idea and that I was throwing negative light on Yami doing so. (Which is true but only in the greater meta context that I find first post miller claims boring, from a this-game perspective it's fine and good that they did that because it's valuable information in an Eccogame.)

Also she did cover why she thought you were suss at a later point after asked. Vague justification but it's justification.

tldr she has a bad habit of making reads without providing justification at the time which I would appreciate if she cut out, but I'm not sold enough that it's scummy to push for it today. I refer you back to the player who has made no such reads all game and is coasting on nothing more than an evolving jokevote as a worthy alternative.

but here you say

Podima posted:

I don't care for it that much, but was holding back so as to see others' unvarnished opinions. Nevertheless, here:

A night passed in between the two posts you call out. Changing opinions overnight or with time isn't unreasonable.

She said why it was bad, because AS didn't say why I'm scum (which is accurate). Cases don't have to be long and flowery to be valid. Also, she expanded on it to prove that there was additional thought behind the statement, which is fine with me in my book.

I'll give you all of this as valid, but at the same time no reason has been shown in thread to doubt the cop claim. We even have a claimed miller - you - to give it additional validity by your very existence. (Yes, an Eccogame could have millers without cops, but eh.)

It's not the slam dunk that you're framing it as.

there are a few days between these posts, but i was wondering if you could let me know why your view has changed, or why you think my explanation or justification doesn't say why i thought you were scum?

I admit this is partially omgus.

But also his "line of questioning" was just "hey you should tell me who your scumbuddies are" and "don't worry if you help us we'll make sure you're last" which is just so disingenuous to A: imply to others that he actually questioned me and B: act like he would have believed anything I said.

I also had sort of been ignoring/resisting the stuff posted about him in the thread because I was hoping that he'd turn out being ok because it was nice to have people to talk to outside of the thread.

how did you respond to that line of questioning?

IcePhoenix posted:

More falisifying

the direct answer to asking me if I thought he was scum:

so I guess if pressed to yes or no, I'd say no right now
but I also wouldn't say yes if I had to say if I thought you were town

And while I did say that there were five others, that was when he asked me. Obviously things have changed since then.

who were the five?

IIRC I was trying to refute the point against Asiina that she was being scummy by saying your case was bad and dropping a vote on you without saying why, by pointing out that she did explain herself? Both of you (hilariously in retrospect) made reads/votes without explaining them further until prompted.

(I'll be honest my eyes crossed while trying to reread and untangle that snarl of cross-quotes, but I'm fairly sure that's it.)

hm, agree asiina did explain herself, but my issue is more that you seemed to change your read on my post in order to defend her. there is the fact that it was several days ago.
