is this what it's like to be on the sidelines of epic wallpost arguments?

because i am so sorry fellas
wdym
not to be a dick to y'all but a lot of dousing/s&c and you/koala is tedious to get through

i guess part of it is that i independently TR 3/4 of y'all and haven't made up my mind on koala yet

starting to appreciate why people glazed over when i used to get in arguments

I actually have zero arguments for Chaqa that don’t also apply to me, except the heuristic I mentioned earlier which I’m obviously capable of gaming.

But sometimes hypocrisy is just correct
Also FWIW further research into the heuristic has not been done and it’s mostly based off a game where I was scum and realized all of my teammates kept voting late

I would not rule him out, I get the feeling he could be subtly pocketing players.
Who's he pocketing?

Also remind me why Chaqa? Is it the "I wasn't dedicated to voting off damo" thing or was there more
I think he could be pocketing me, for one, because the last game we were both town and he tunneled me the whole game and it was hard for me not think he was doing it as mafia. I will have to go back and read his posts to find an example of what I thought could be pocketing.
This is a really weird perspective because I haven’t thought about you much at all this game. I have a mild townread because you tunneling on some stupid shit I said seems like town!Bozo, but otherwise you’re not even in my radar

I am having a hard time keeping up with this game. I just feel people are over focused on words and little details instead of trying to look at motivations and reasoning.

The best case is still Bozo's on Chaqa, which reaction to just duck and wait to see if it vanish doesn't make feel is a wrong one.

Snowy keeps probing everyone like sensing the waters to see where a wagon could develop, I just don't remember town Snowy playing this way. He asked me a ton of things after I called him on not doing this and when I answered (including some questions to him) he just ignored it.
I’m scummy if I “am defensive and over explain”

I’m scummy if I vanish

It seems those against me are determined I’m scum and would use any reason to justify it

Speaking of time, I'm streaming a goofy challenge run of Back 4 Blood starting at 11am my time (EOD minus 5h). Unless we call the session early or absolutely steamroll it, I'll probably be busy through EOD. I'll be keeping up on my phone if nothing else.

Aside from the obvious fact that I know 1/3 of it is wrong, Chaqa's called shot of me/rdr/snowy doesn't make sense to me because snowy is the only one who's even seriously talked about rdr being scum. Most of us have rdr in the unresolved pile (to which he customarily belongs lol). Under the circumstances there's no reason why mafia snowy would even talk about rdr. It's also not for nothing that the called shot consists of two people agreeing with the case on him (me and rdr). I can forgive him for being less than fully invested - not like I can cast stones from this glass house - but when he's here his posting is reactive, and his progression on the game opaque.

My TRs on the newbies and Bona remain. Jamie probably town - I know he said he's an active player regardless, but I really don't remember him leading post counts like this. He's usually in the mix of higher posters sure, but d1 really stands out to me still. And the fact that he's disclaiming it as a reason to TR him is pretty townie of him because I'm very sure if he were scum he would just go along with it. He's wrong on me, but I'm aware I haven't been as inspired (or inspiring 8-)) as usual. bozo is probably also town if Chaqa is scum, and maybe just regardless.

I would kill Koala to save myself, but Koala still feels like a crapshoot vote to me, and I much rather Chaqa.

Seems hard to believe d1 Jamie is ever scum

When was the last time you ever saw him post more than Bona? And most of that came while the bot was down and most people were on cruise control

He’s been less memorable today for me but I don’t think that matters much. And it could be an indictment of my lack of focus lol.

Ok true, last game he tripled you up d1 (lmao). You were traveling on college visits though so pretty significant anomaly.

Also he was the runaway lead poster d1 and...... town.
