I am not trying to undercut your mastery of comedy.
I see nothing in that post that is anything but sincere.
You are trying to add a post hoc justification that the post was a joke.

Lemme quote it one more time:

hambeet posted:

also tt put the most effort in so far so i dont think i will vote them.

Both of the assertions are true. At least the argument for them is there. Votefinder was broken and TT was putting in effort. The issue I took was the "so I don't think I will vote them".
Where is the subverting expectations?
Where is the reference to bodily functions?
There is nothing in that post that could be construed as a joke.

Nope, semi colon separates two independent clauses and the latter part isn't a complete sentence on its own.

I do see what Grandi means in re: that not actually being a joke, beet. I assumed it was pretty straightforward at least.

Nep-Nep posted:

I don't have any strong feelings about it in terms of how it makes me feel about your alignment but it does indicate to me that you've given a fair amount of thought to this setup already (further supported by your followup post about ego/superego conditions) which I consider a positive for the quality of the game.

Dang, this is a good catch. Nep uses 20 words instead of 3, and it's overly careful in its phrasing.

If you voted after Jose there and your vote isn't showing up, you'll have to revote. Unless it was a joke vote or something that doesn't matter, I guess. I haven't been paying close attention.

I mean it’s not like a knock-knock joke or a joke about a priest, a rabbi and an imam playing conkers, it’s a “lol, drunk Australian making a generic mafia trope” kind of joke, you are trying too hard to look for the punchline

I'd say more precisely that I agree with you that I didn't in any way read it as a joke, and don't see how beet is arguing that it is one.

I'm not sold that beet is misconstruing it so much as I'm thinking I have to be missing something, because there's a disconnect.

The fact that Hal thinks it is in fact a joke makes me want more people to weigh in. It might be that I don't get what beet was going for. Right now I'm just at "wait, how is that a joke?" I'm not yet at the place where I'd say he's lying about it.

I interpreted beet as joking in that he was just being flippant. I don't think he's suspicious.

Grandi I can't get a good read on cos I can't decide if he is awkward-scummy or just trying hard in a low engagement so far game.

Nep-nep I have played with maybe once but I don't think what she said is scummy. My thought process about Tom is similar.

Because he was asked to explain his vote and didn't. I'm just taking a shot in the dark here, but the weirdness of that and trying to prolong jokephase fits for me as what could be the perspective of the Chaos-poster.
