##VOTE bunny

Put your money where your mouth is
on a 1-vote wagon that gives bunny an excuse to join the wagon against me?
go convince will or damo or someone first, then I'm in
##vote rdr
Huh?

I don't understand why D&W's reply, to BoSox, on the subject of his scumread of BunnyGo, is a reason to vote Rdr, who was not mentioned or involved.

Explain Bunny?

This seems very counterproductive. Also, don’t the potatoes get bounced back (or to others) if the target dies?
##CALL GM - can you clarify?
Jamie admits not having a potato because he’d have seen the GMs post about how to submit orders already.

Jamie lying about having potato is town!jamie.
Wrong; the Hot Potato PM does not mention this scenario:

You have a HOT POTATO. If the hot potato is activated, it has a 25% chance of exploding (and killing you) at the end of the current phase. You must toss it to another player at the end of the current phase. To do so, PM the GM with the name of the player you want to toss it to. If it does not explode, you must toss it to another player at the end of the current phase. (Obviously, if it does explode, you do not toss it.) If you are the daykill, you will toss the hot potato momentarily before dying.

BREAKING NEWS:
Jamie is now blatantly editing quotes, literally making it appear that I said things that I did not, and absolutely nobody cares because everyone is either busy coasting or busy shitposting
except ghug, who made the right vote for the wrong reason
Shit. He usually only does blatant shit like that and changing around his signature when he’s town.

Sigh.
If you’re into reverse psychology this is a great reason to scumread Jamie. But maybe reverse psychology is wrong and you should townread Jamie! Or maybe we can just conclude that any meta that a player can force isn’t useful meta.

I Don't think they believe their read on the game open. Don't see where it would come from at all. Very convienient to agree with joke reads instead of making your own tbh.

And I think Mimi should interact with my content since I oddly enough actually have content contrary to their implications.

Otherwise than that no more scumreads and Bo is likely spewed town.

Would like if people commented on my DreamTrawler read.
What does "spewed" mean in this context?

I feel like this is some Mafiascum lingo that we don't use over in this civilised neck of the woods.

Ok I have a few questions
1. Do you find my p#367 to be scummy? If so why?
not scummy per se, just weird how you seem to talk to dw differently than others. note that i'm just voting on a whim to see if anything comes from it; my town reads are much stronger than my scum leans
Do you find me to be scummy in general?
overall yeah, at least in relation to other high posters. out of low posters control v is weird for calling out someone for not contributing then proceeding to not contribute so honestly that might be scummier, but it kind of feels weird sring people who have barely been here to defend themselves. it's not like everyone is going to endvote immediately so idk why i'm hesitant abt it and honestly it might elicit more of a defense then waiting w/o voting
Do you think I more resemble my town game or scum game?
i've played one game with you so idrk (i mean i did host one but i didn't really pay attention that much to anyone)
Ok. Follow up questions. Do I resemble my town game? And why do you find me scummy in general?
not really, in 92 you came in with reasoning about mech, and generally when responding to posts you were consistently putting extra interpretation of your own on other peoples posts that weren't directed to you. this game many of your posts have been simple questions and/or responses to posts directed to you.

but aside from meta, which doesn't mean much in the grand scheme of things imo since people can change, rethinking why i thought you scummy it makes sense that you would act differently with dw and bo since they're two different people so ig you're not really as scummy as i initially mused but you're still not very towny imo

tbh i'll probably just bandwagon on one of my null reads at eod since idrc about finding scum just yet, more so getting information and finding town

you do have actual content, yes, but it consists just of a rather low-faceted read on dt. it's not a bad read, sheeping scum reads is certainly generally something scum would do, but i would prefer if you either had more points on this read or had more reads, or at least gave some thoughts on people

idk maybe this is hypocritical of me. still parking my vote here since i'm interested in pushing lurkers and i don't have strong scum reads

Jamie doesn’t change meta. You can tell him “this is why I voted you. Look. Right here” and he’ll do it again next time.

I don't think you're wrong town; I think you're malicious scum making up false shit on purpose.
I’m still wondering if this is scum!jamie committing to pushing back after overreacting to the “caps” push on his first post. Reminds me of the game I bussed him on his first post and he blew up. As of then tried to cover the blow up.
You think I am scum with Dip&War..?
Ffs…you two have martyr complexes bigger than Joan of arc!

At NO POINT did I ever EVER suggest I scum read D&W because I don’t and didn’t.

YOU I waffle on but am thinking you’re just annoying and desperate enough that you’re more likely torn than not.

I have decided jamie is probably town and bunny is whatever alignment jamie is. Unless will is scum (instead of simply having the couch potato), I'm going to guess the scum are lurking and watching us explode

or damo

wait, no, this is interesting. You never publicly scumread me but I very much scumread you, and predicted you would follow jamie's vote. Why is jamie assuming this goes both ways?

This is really vague. I think I didn't even met the post requirements when you asked me about life, so how I "didn't look like myself" ?
I’ve never read your early town posts as chipper before. But these were definitely chipper
I have to check chipper in the dictionary and not sure I understood what you mean. Anyway, if you meant I am posting less seriously you are probably right.

Guys…can we not do the “vote red for scummy lurker” day 1 again?!?

He’s got like triple the posts he normally does.

He’s interacting a little and trying a little.

And we as a group kinda promised we’d reward that with letting him live till day 2 and try and see how to turn it around.

I agree. I wanna vote him too. But cmon. This is sooooo lazy, and we’re all gonna learn nothing.

So…##vote mimi.

I know why D&W said he voted me.
He gave a range of contradictory reasons.
I don't need his reasoning pointed out to me.
It is bad / wrong / fake reasoning.
