i can see it

vote: slam

[Zetsu]

Jace and slam are both scummy to me, but there’s like a 20% chance that they’re on the same scumteam, and I’m not buying multiball. Town pls

[Jace]

I'm gonna fall in line with.

Just wanna make clear I'm aware I started the Dodd train, I just mean to say I can't abide by scum getting 4 free town kills just by pushing policy. I didn't push Dodd for Policy reasons. Y'all did. and I'm not sure we can afford two mislynches.

[Slam]

Based on historical evidence, I can say that anything I say in my defence will be taken as 'desperate flailing flinching'.

So consider this thinking out loud instead of anything resembling a defence and not directed at anyone in particular:

Assume that Paige, Jace, Yugi, MW and Boogie are all town. Compare the number of posts that have been done by them to everyone else in the game. Let's assume that the people who are lurking are either A: afraid to try and penetrate that mass, or B: quite happy to watch them run around in circles. If I was scum, I'd just sit back and watch that unfold. Of course it would only take one person in that quintet to be a scum just pushing the merry go round, but it's kind of hard to pull any individuals out of that.

Remind me when being candid about opinions and open in trying to lynch town was considered a scum strategy. That's some third level galaxy meme brain meta shit at that point.

I would also suspect that people reading my ISOs can't find anything beyond what Paige is driving at. But then it's kind of impossible to argue against Paige because their retort is to start making attacks and paint people as being under some spotlight of sweating and nerves rather than actually debate much of anything.

I feel like I'm going to wind up being the third person in this game to claim they can't be arsed to keep debating anymore. Kudos, good strat, clearly gets the job done.

I liked this defense better when Cactus did it last game

[Latin For Dragula]

Now let me take a biiiiiiiiiiiiig sip of my water as i check how that flip went

[dmboogie]

i like how im being included as part of the posting mass when i don't think i've typed a paragraph in my life

[Latin For Dragula]

I like how you get the shout out for mass posting while lise who has nearly as many posts as you and mw combined isn't part of the conspiracy

[Latin For Dragula]

If slam flips scum check i bet at least one of the other very active voices is scum since he has repeated three times now if he was scum he'd just be quiet and watch, really really wants us to remember that point huh

[Slam]

Aight you kids have fun. Communication obviously broke down a while ago so I'll wait to hear from the rest of the voters.

Unless I'm dead by dawn. Really hard to give a crap at this moment in time.

[Latin For Dragula]

noted pro-town move, giving up

[Jace]

If I was scum, I'd just sit back and watch that unfold

Well, no, you would just do what you're doing. It isn't a galaxy-brained scum play to push desperately a lynch on someone you openly suspect of being town mostly for reasons of policy, it's just a scummy play that's only becoming more transparent because it's getting criticised repeatedly and you're having to defend it.


Also I'm ngl, seeing people legit give up on participating bc they're mad they're under a microscope is starting to suck the fun out of this game. Y'all complain and moan about me being the center of attention well that's bc I've been under a microscope for like 40 goddamn pages by the exact people complaining about it, among others. Then as soon as someone else has to deal with the spotlight for a little bit they give up, call us kids, and dip lmao I'm sticking with my vote no matter what now - I'm tired of this.

[Zetsu]

Hm. Think I’m staying on the jace train for now.

[Jace]

EBWOP: I don't mean to say Slam's like trying to insult us or is displaying bad sportsmanship or anything though even if it looked like thats what I meant. I know this has become something of a black hole yet again, at least it will be until everyone else weighs in - I'm just a little annoyed that every time I hone in on somebody and feel the slightest bit confident, they exit the conversation. It's not even their fault, circumstances are just getting on my nerves that's all.

[Latin For Dragula]

Hm. Think I’m staying on the jace train for now.

You think they're both scum, yeah? Why is Jace scummier than Slam?
