I think we're missing the real point of D1, which is that beet isn't going to shoot after claiming a dayvig.

And I think you’re missing the point that you’re the only one seemingly bothered by this possibility and haven’t explained why.

Aside from the, what was it again? Scum Ninja?

At first I was broadly curious. Now I think I'm trying to figure out who is going to be the person who actually shoots me.

These words at first glance look like they’re an answer to my question, but upon closer inspection one finds that they’re really not.

Interesting. Huh. Okay maybe I've been wrong.

Okay, that makes more sense. I'm still not entirely sure if you're trying to imply he's lying or not though.

I think what Keats is trying to do is: make it absolutely clear to everyone (not just the people who picked up on the unfortunately overt breadcrumb) that I've softclaimed doc, or doc-adjacent (or, eventually, I'll do the same thing as a PGO).

In this way, Keats is making sure that people pushing on me from that point on, or shooting me, or whatever, are doing so from a level-set position. So there can be no ambiguity in the future, when retroactive analysis comes back on "Well, they actively were voting a claimed doc (or doc-like, or plausible PGO), that's not a great look."

This should probably be interpreted as non-alignment-indicative for Keats' play.

I think we’re missing the point that cube wants to shade me for claiming a dayvig d1, and yet immediately owns up to their bread crumbing of a doc or doc adjacent claim.

lol if you are actually a scum ninja and I wind up Galaxy Frontier'd. I would laugh so hard.

When was the last scum Miller gambit? 15 players, kind of a gimmick game. No counterclaim yet, though it wouldn't be unreasonable to have two somehow. Hmm.

With an odd number of players alive today, can't do the sneaky shoot-someone-while-someone-else-is-at-minus-one sudden end to the day. But it's something to keep in mind going forward.

So Moritz is actually reading the thread and just jumped in to say "don't vig me pls" only to fade into the nether once more.

Seems about right to me. Not super interested in voting TMor today.

I agree with Meen, though. I've seen Town Moritz not follow the thread at all.

Cube, are you practicing the ancient art of opposite posting?

Wolo has never done a gimmick as scum. Wol is not gimmicking this game. I think maybe catching them was a mistake.

Upon reflecting on the deadline and current vote situation, I think this is a reasonable D1 case actually.

It wasn't a real question, it was JUST a convoluted way of claiming and it's wack that I will get blamed for making this complicated when it's Cube who did that, so blame him

Rhymes With Clue posted:

I keep looking at this and I have questions. Why, for instance, is this query directed to someone Cube hasn't played with before? What if 50 had been playing and had answered it? It sure seemed like more than a getting-to-know-you kind of question. And there is something about the stilted diction that bugged me although possibly that's just Cube doing an RP thing.

Also Cube posed this question an hour after the game had started. I don't know, when I'm scum I sure haven't decided who to kill at night at that point in the game. It seems like when I've been scum we haven't even talked about it in scumchat until much later in the day so it's not just me.

So the question, the player it was directed to, and the timing all give me questions about Cube's motivation. So it was not just a question but apparently meant to signal something. Cube then posed the same questiion to 50's replacement, Iggy, who answered it.

As a question to signal something, I missed it. Others picked it up. A doc or doc-adjacent claim? Who makes those? (Not sure what "doc-adjacent" is anyway.) There is no percentage in claiming doc at this point in the game, or at any point IMO. Why be so obvious (yeah okay I said it wasn't obvious to me but let's ignore that for now). Why not just play the cop/doc/vig game here if you want info?

I'm rambling, I guess, but this along with many of Cube's other posts is just bugging me. It's really making me want to vote Cube.

Keats would criticize my play if I explained.

Yeah well I will ##tilt my windmills at Cube, because I am poor and vigless.



saladscooper posted:

You get on your horse. You produce a donkey (from where no-one is sure) and forcefully sit Cube down on it. Together you sally forth and raise your lances against any windmill you come across. Cube is shaking with fear the whole time, as you seem intent on sticking it to those windmills, and besides, the donkey is a bumpy ride.

Nothing happens.

And then the Wol thing. And then beet not shooting. I might be missing something as well.

Topic change. I was thinking about favorite operas but maybe not everyone likes operas.

Instead, what about favorite colors? Can be hard to choose I suppose, so feel free to go top three.
