Sure, you want to call Spoonsy's vote over-explained whatever, I don't agree but it's a reason. But just using RNG to get things moving, especially if you won't be around, seems pretty null to me. I don't think anyone else is calling him scum for RNG, they are calling him scum for not just owning to RNG in a simple statement and leave it at that.

This, with already trying to set up some bus call on taste, just feels more scummy than anything else I've seen so far.

Sire, I believe you have misunderstood my posts. I did not say that Spoons had over-explained. I just said it was strange to RNG his vote. Please, do check.

I do understand your concern with my feelings on taste, however. So please vote based on the latter than the former. Thank you, good sir.

Alternatively, should you believe that Spoons' RNG isnt scummy and want to vote someone who does, well, taste is likely one you should give some consideration

Sorry governor, I didn't realise you were actually waiting! It does help to clear things up a smidgen I think.

To be clear, I don't have a clearcut case on you and I'm not pretending that I do. My vote is, as mentioned, purely based on gut feelings. Truth be told, noone strikes me as particularly scummy thus far.

Ah, but busses are by their nature deceitful. I remember a great bussing strategy back in '76 during Jury Duty. T'was quite spectacular!

To circle back to this, IIRC Jury Duty '76 was a game with no NK whatsoever, and not a game where bussing would cut your NK power in half. Doesn't seem very similar (also JD76 had... half scums and people who became scums and doesn't seem to be a very reasonable comparison). I'm not saying anything is off the table, but "taste might be bussing spoonsy" is a very, very hard sell to me right now even as a remote suggestion.

My main thought so far is that Spoonsy has been weird, but the suspicion on him is what it is on day 1 voting rationale. If he gets a lunch day 1 i think that's just fine.

However, Cloner's posts have also been weird as hell and i think there's a critical distinction: they've escalated weirder and weirder (within the scope of what's "weird" on day 1) as he attempted to justify his earlier posts. He's not copping to making bad leaps of logic or looking at changing his position based on new information

This just has "backpedal" written all over it, especially that bizarre last sentence. Of course nobody's particularly scummy on day 1. We're just voting based on hunches and how the wagons start/develop, along with laying the groundwork to go back and look at flips 2-3 game days from now.

RF has two game-relevant posts, one is a vote I didn’t understand (please fill me in since it’s so obvious) and one is a joke (?) cop claim. Doesn’t seem that ridiculous to hear something else from them before the day is out

Okay fellows, I do hope this helps to explain my feelings.

I think it's puzzling that Spoons is more than content with leaving this to a Random Number Generator. It doth strike me as strange.

For t a s t e, I am unsure exactly what gives me such jeebies. Something in my mind says "Bloody hell! Could this be an early bus?". It makes sense to vote, yes, but seems strange. Alas, I am quite uncertain, but my gut has this quite awful sensation.

Methinks you have a terrible fakecase brewing and places you higher than my gut feeling on t a s t e.

There’s a lot of votes on Spoonsy that you’re deciding not to join—and that’s fine, I’m doing the same thing. But you seem determined to upgrade your jokevote on taste to something real based on nothing, and I still think your suggestion of a bus is absurd based on the game structure. But when challenged on it, you’re quickly retreating to “whoa, hey, it’s all just feeling and hunches, cmon let’s all be cool”

I see. Did you not read my posts prior to that saying I had bad vibes on taste? A gut feeling is just that - a gut feeling. I cannot make this any clearer, good friend.
Would you prefer me to drop the hammer on Spoonsy because everyone else is voting for him? I cannot say I'm comfortable with this, he is at -1.

I must say, it does feel like you're digging a hole with each post here, dear chap! I do not like what I am seeing.

Like he seems fixated on separating himself from the vote even though it's a first vote in D1. He didn't even need to relay the story, just poo poo a vote out on me, don't give us two paragraphs where it feels like you're providing a bunch of excuses for why there should be no accountability

Spoonsy at -1 with an hour or so to go.

I'm basically null on Spoonsy. I like my vote on Elks, but its basically a gut vote.

I don't want to vote Spokes, even before you consider its only his second game. I also think Sand's vote on spoonsy was fine. Toap is the only other person with a vote and honestly I don't remember any of their posts, and with only 1 vote its not like they are an option over spoonsy.

Basically I'll swap over in a bit unless there are other people here who can hammer

Oh, I think I just said it poorly. I know you called Spoonsy scummy for using RNG. I just don't think using RNG is scummy, or that most people think it is inherently scummy, or that I think *you* think it's inherently scummy.

In short:

Spoonsy is scum for overexplaining an RNG vote? sure, I don't agree but that is a case.

Spoonsy is scum for using RNG to vote? Nope, calling this a bad case, especially coupled into your taste gut calls.

This is you calling him scummy for voting with an RNG. And if you are telling me you aren't calling him scum right here for using an RNG, I'd find this post even more scummy because then its just throwing stuff into the air to see what sticks.

I never said you called him scum for overexplaining a vote. Other people did, and I said those other people, while I don't agree with them, at least have a case I consider legitimate.
