HB wagon is largely based off his weird readlists, which seem to be heavily reactionary.
Damo wagon is based on the way he reacted to some criticism or other of Jamiet's
lfischl wagon is based off whatever lfischl wagon is based off
Out of these three (and the 4th place, the Fluminator wagon, to which I say Fluminator), the HB wagon is just the strongest.

Either way Ham is really not doing anything good. His play so far is basically just scumreading everyone who scumreads him and then making up reasons for scumreading us.
Hams wagon is based off of a readslist he posted after the wagon was formed? Was there no reason before his readslist was posted?
Ham was acting in a very counterintuitive way, but it's a bit of a long story:

I didn't see anything saying how many mafia there were in brainbomb's post at the start of the game, so I set up a scumtrap by asking, "How many scum are there again" or something like that. The point was that some unsuspecting scum would say, "Oh, there's X scum" when the only way to know that was from the list of scum in their scum role message.
It didn't work. Multiple people were saying they didn't in ways that seemed like at least one of them had caught on as scum and was trying to reverse my logic and get themself cleared. I believe ghug called this "townslipping" as opposed to "scumslipping". (Only now am I realizing I should go back and analyze those townslips. I'll do that next.)
Hamilton made a very egregious townslip:
"I understand there are 5 town PR roles and 3 mafia PR roles, but what's the breakdown of town:mafia? I didn't see that written on the first game post from brain."
The way that he wrote it, like he was asking the question instead of answering mine, looks very much like a scum trying to townslip.

TLDR: Hamilton made a post asking a question I had already asked, but writing it like he didn't already know I had asked it.

Last time I tried to appease someone here on webdip I actually offered Chaqa some reallife chipotle.

I feel like theres a better deal here that youre not yet putting on the table.
Alright, you drive a hard bargain, but here you are, a picture of something from the menu at Chipotle:

That's the last one you're getting for now.
What country is that from? Pretty sure they just slip the food into the bowl. This looks too tidy.
That item is available in the United States, Canadia, and Europe:

Ah, so the thing I have repeatedly complained people put too much stock into? This explains why I didn't understand the wagon

In pub. Not read since last post.

Don't know why I'm lead wagon.

Popularity I guess.
You are a lead wagon because people think your inability / unwillingness to explain your read on Hamilton Brian indicates you could be bussing him.

I can forgive an obviously weak case at the beginning when we're all grasping at straws but surely something else has come up since then in the last 20 pages
I honestly think my case against you isn’t the strongest…

There 100% was a few posts that I wanted to respond to but I can’t remember what they were and I don’t wanna reread a bunch of spam just to find it.

If I *had* to change my vote rn though… I’d say there’s AT LEAST one mafia in Vecna, sweetandcool, or Squigs44
If you think the case is a weaker one, what do you think of Aetius sheeping it 15 pages later?
WRONG! I brought it up right when I saw it and advocated for it, but I didnt vote for it until someone else did. That's parlty because it was still too early and partly because I was looking for other stuff, but nothing changed my mind since then. The ONLY thing thats switching me is that no one else is falling behind it so Im trying to catch up to find out why people are wagoning behind HamiltonBrian & Damo

I’m starting to worry we’ve lost pirate. The king. I think he is gone and it reminds me of the time he was a mind flayer.

Come back to us, oh King. It is only together with much discourse that we can find and rout the ilithium!

The particulars do not relate to a single Damo post.

They relate to repeated responses from Damo to being asked about something, relating to his vote.

If you do not understand, go and re-read.

Wait a moment.

Why do you have Fluminator listed as a townlean and a scumlean at the same time?
Forgot to delete it?
Which one?

And why haven't you answered his question?
Do you think HB leaving someone in both townreads and scumreads is scum indicative?

@bunny please stop it with the role playing shit already. Nobody will read your posts. If you persist I will assume you are scum and act accordingly.
no one should vote end ever in this game, phases are too short and Bunny ALREADY SAID that he will do BOTH

I'm skeptical that Damo is bussing HB. If there's a bussing play happening, why have both scum look so blatant?
