> Is committed to a Jace lynch for two days straight
> Is apparently non-commital.

Also not sure where this begrundging narrative is coming from? At no point have I expressed dissatisfaction with my posts. Please also explain how openly stating that I'm happy to see Jace lynched even though I'm still fairly convinced he's just a flailing townie is cautious.

You want to go after my playing Paige, how about you come up with something genuine rather than just trying to paint a picture to fit your hyper aggressive strategy? Because it's worked out so well so far.

[Slam]

Probably a really good idea to jump down the throat of someone actually trying to be involved and calling their whole ISO noise though. I'm sure that's not going to discourage the lurkers from emerging from the shadows.

Though if I was scum, I'd probably be tilting my head back and laughing at all the work this yugi-jace-paige-mw-boogie circle jerk is doing for them.

[Latin For Dragula]

You're committed to Jace as Policy. You don't think he's scum though. You play both sides for two days. Try again!

[Latin For Dragula]

Ooooh and there's the sweat.

[Zetsu]

@slam what’re you reading Paige as now (in other words have your reads shifted since last time I asked you for a read on them)

[Slam]

Yup I'm sweating up a storm because people are responding to the things I said. Someone break out the Phoenix Wright music.

Do you actually have anything to go on with me, beyond me voting for expending a townie who's been at the heart of the storm this whole time and has claimed a non-power role, and for not doing the same deep readthrough I did last game?

My read on Paige is unchagned from town though. I think they're just too aggressive for their own good.

[Latin For Dragula]

I already made my case on all the scummy things you're doing beyond the giant neon sign of wanting to lunch a spot you're sure is town but if you wanna keep those ears plugged by my guest dude

[Slam]

So no then.

Please also explain how openly stating that I'm happy to see Jace lynched even though I'm still fairly convinced he's just a flailing townie is cautious.

imo if you're fairly convinced the leading candidate is town you should try and find another candidate

Vote: Slam btw, that insta flinch "how dare you question my posts, everyone but me is circle jerking!" desperation is more than good enough for me.

[Jace]

Okay here's my deal. The way I see it, this roster is small. It stands to reason that scum would do everything possible to get as many mislynches as possible so that they can nightkill the power roles and end the game faster, which is why I question Slam and Irina's insistence to stay on the topic of lynching me even when half of us are expecting me to flip town, instead of following the conversation's direction as people like Paige keep trying to change it and cut off the complaint that my existence is halting the progression of this game.

I was willing to side with Slam before, and I was open to the possibility that I have been driving this conversation into the ground, and doing so in a self-centered direction for too long, even if I was offended at the implication that my activity is keeping others from having fun or playing in general, which is kinda shitty but I was like



But I took the night/morning off from posting and 4 pages later I am still the center of it thanks to Slam, Irina (kind of) and possibly others idk I'm not feeling as alert as I was yesterday, derailing attempts to change the subject and bring it back to lynching me asap. My activity was tied into all the free time I had at work and how badly I wanted to pass the time. Now that I've had time to detach tho, I genuinely don't care anymore about the complaints about me being a conversational black hole. I'm with Paige. I've seen three people so far (maybe more, like said I just skimmed the past 4-5 pages so I could post) complain about my role in this discourse and as such I have seen at least three people do nothing to try and move the conversation beyond that. You guys are hinging the momentum of this game entirely on me getting killed, and I'm starting to suspect scummy intentions because of that.

Slam I suspect the most now. Because if he's sure I'm town and is voting me anyways that's one thing, but insisting that's where we focus all the attention and, again, insinuating that the game can't move on until I'm dead (Especially because as has been made clear to me, VT don't get night kills wasted on them), but isn't pushing the conversation in any other direction, rather just making impassioned (frustrated) defenses of himself (which is part of the reason you guys have suspected me all game) and weak reads.

Irina I've been over but for all intents and purposes I'm with Paige on they're reasoning for suspecting Irina.

Blizzard also has the same logic as Slam, frankly.

My "is it newbie or scummy" ticker is sliding over to "scummy" for Jace given how impressively persistently he's been... flailing isn't the right word, let's say "splashing around like a fish that's also a conversational black hole".

VOTE: Jace

If he turns out to not be VT I am going to be shocked. Shocked.

If you guys want to keep the focus on me that's fine but it's all the obfuscating that's keeping this from moving on which is something I am for sure guilty of too, so I'm just gonna take a step forward so that no matter what y'all do we can at least get this train fuckin moving a few extra inches per hour.

Vote: Slam

[Jace]

EBWOP: their*

[Zetsu]

All y’all need to stop looking so goddamn scummy.

[Jace]

If you guys want to lynch me for real reasons fine but Dodd was the one policy lynch I'm gonna fall in line with. If the people pushing a policy lynch of me are scum, they're about to get four free town kills with minimal effort aaaand I'm still in the game so fuck that noise

[Latin For Dragula]

inb4 slam decides jace and I are scum buddies now who planned this without scum chat because we're just that good
