[xorxes]

this is unrelated but tbh I thought xorxes was joking when he first proposed his idea, was a bit surprised when it was taken seriously + how it derailed the tone xD

Nope, I wasn't joking with either proposal. And what makes you think I was surprised when it was taken seriously? There were only joke posts at the time, so how could it derail the tone?

@Neph, what is SoC?

snip snip

Stream of conscious. You're more sure of yourself this game which I really like, keep it up <3

aw, you make me blush ///

Honestly though, it's a lot easier to take your points seriously if you don't post every doubt you have alongside them, posting both sides to arguments is important but if you doubt yourself too much I personally struggle to take you seriously.

[xorxes]

explain what's scummy

quote a post and say why

Your first vote on Xorxes was trying to draw a connection between his alignment in a previous game, which has no bearing on this one. And then you did it again.

Your switch to Durga was weird and unjustified, like you noticed you weren't getting traction on Xorxes and wanted to move your vote so it wouldn't draw attention. You tried to make it look like you were pressure voting, but were unconvincing, in no small part because it looks opportunistic rather than pressure.

You initially liked Xorxes' plan, but then pushed back against it because you wanted consensus and then because you thought it was happening too fast and then because Xorxes is just some rando making demands. To me, that looks like scum being afraid that Xorxes plan will work and so trying to both avoid claiming and tank the plan at the same time.

You are grasping at straws rather than making any real analysis.

Most detailed case thus far, but then Fox didn't follow up with a vote or anything.

I thought that case was pretty weak actually. What jumped out most to me was all the effort put into making the fancy links.

It's no effort when the Peterbot links to the original post and there's a button for inserting hyperlinks...

Well, exactly because there were only joke posts :D

I would like to bring a proposal to this (Honourable?) House:

The five Labour Backbenchers should reveal themselves. Then if there are five reveals, we get five clears. If there are more than five reveals (no townie should lie about this) then we have a small pool for the Party Cop to fish in, such that their results are guaranteed guilty or guaranteed innocent, whereas now their pool is much bigger and their results are very likely to be inconclusive. What do the other Members think of this plan?

This was what, the 7th post? You just went straight in with playing haha---probably you put in thought before the game started or something.

had you also made a few jokes it probably would've went on a few more pages.

In hindsight tho, worcej's "I second this" was prolly not all that serious xD

[brainbomb]

nice to see you back foxcastle

That's what I am saying. He put in a lot of effort to make it detailed, but didn't vote for it because he knew it wasn't actually condemning of Vapor

[Foxcastle]

Thanks, Brainbomb, I just needed a little break there and it's good to be back.

[Vaporwave]

upvoting is prohibited

I rarely vote early or often, regardless of whether I'm town or mafia.

"Derail" has negative connotations. Taking the debate from non-serious to serious would not normally be described as derailing.

I thought he meant it as serious actually.

welcome to mothlife

[Attorney]

hi
i will actually appear right now

[Ezio]

Vaporwave is probably town.
Xorxes is town.

I'mma ##vote attorney.


I'm really suspicious of squigs. It's really easy for scum to defend someone else's d1 mechanic idea. I don't like his vote on vapor. I don't like his nonsense about "already voting scum" after bb said he faked. I don't really care that he's being more aggressive than I remember. I don't think that's alignment indicative.
