Ok, sorry for the meltdown above, under a lot of stress IRL right now and let that get to me while trying to play the game. My bad, no hard feelings hopefully.
Also if we're gonna get weirdly meta with it:
Fantomas, you were the last person to post before Fran died, within the same minute, in fact. But then you went back and replied to rac instead of incorporating it into the post that was only a couple of posts before yours. Since you posted after the please wait I assume you were compiling the former before you refreshed the page. But that would also mean that you'd have to have posted again after the okay was given by Aeleus, which means you would've seen what happened to Fran but you still chose to section off the posts that were a reply to rac and your reaction. That doesn't seem...like you.
Let's look at the timeline:
Would Not Vote Today:
Stan
Loki
Soneji
Zeke
Stu
Fran
Bae
Turm
Rac
Nin
Wee
Would Consider Voting Today:
Z-Beat
AB
Would Vote Today:
Sparks
Kits
Kalor
Kopite
LP
Coolest
These are not ordered in any particular way other than where they appear on the player list. Ask if you want to know more of my thoughts on anyone.
Now give me a little bit to actually put myself together and then I should be around for most of the rest of the day. I have a few errands to take care of, but I will definitely be here for EoD.
For now:
Vote: LP
Too quiet even for him, not enough hot takes, Meta is telling me that means he's Scum.
Thoughts on Sparks, AB and Z-Beat?
who would your second and third choices be after LP?
Hmm 7 hours left.
I thought Fran had more votes but he's only at 2 right now. He seems like normal town Fran to me, frustrated at the glacial pace of this game. Scum Fran cares less.
Kits and Fran aren't scum together. Kits jumping around and that OMGUS vote seems too obvious.
does this really feel like my usual playstyle?
Sparks had been trying to push things on Turmoil but never really explained much why. He had said something about Turm jumping at joke votes and shouted out AB, but I don't actually know what he's talking about because he didn't give me any quotes when I asked for them. It feels like he was trying to grasp for something to talk about to seem like he's Town. Then he just started pushing forth my read of the Fran/Soneji interaction instead of following his own leads.
AB, I don't really have a Meta on him since when I saw him as Scum he was still pretty much like he was as Town. I'd consider a vote there today for now just because he hasn't said much that has stuck out to me, kind of under the radar, but I want to see more from him.
Z-Beat spam posted about Death Stranding when I tagged him, likely to get himself to 10 posts. When he did start posting about the game, he brought up the people voting for Fran, but instead was talking about people who had already unvoted from him and pretty much ignored any of the things I had brought up around him. It could just be him not paying much attention, but I also expect him to have unique thoughts when he's Town and haven't seen many yet.
Probably Sparks and Kits.
Fran has died!
Day Continues
What the fuck. Why kill Fran? Why use that power on D1?
WHY??????
It actually doesn't now that you mention it, no, but I feel like I've been kind of off so far as well with the general joking phase of the day lasting a lot longer than normal.
Has anything stuck out to you yet? I'm always interested to hear your thoughts (even though I don't expect you to show your work lol).
WAIT WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED!?!?
I made my post, saw Stu's, then spent time replying to him. When I made the reply, I saw Rac had quoted me, the page was not fully refreshed, it said "there are other posts" or whatever above that and did not see Aeleus's post. I responded to Rac before full refreshing, something I don't usually do, but since it was a direct quote of me I just went with it. Then I saw everything else that had happened after I quoted Rac.
Everyone who was here, talking, and failed to notice the modpost of PLEASE WAIT and then seem surprised that someone got shot all look suspicious to me
See above.
I read the arguments but I found them unconvincing. It looked like busywork. And the timing of your vote was suspicious to me, which *I* am pointing out on D1 because it looks odd to me, therefore you should support this conversation if you're also town.
granted.
Honestly, you've got me there. But I put him mentally on a list of "ok, give them one free day phase" and it's hard for my mind to switch tracks on a dime.
If this small pushback has already moved you to meltdown mode, please do take a break. *hugs*
We've never argued like this before, I feel bad.
but no, it's NOT easy to defend weird gambit players. Nothing I do makes me look quite as scummy to most players as when I defend stuff lol.
Yeah, sorry, I blew up earlier and shouldn't have.
Yeah, that all makes sense. I wouldn't say I was doing busywork, more that I was just looking for anything game related to talk about because the joke posting wasn't really stopping yet and I felt we needed to get a move on. And yeah, fair on the defending not being as easy.
------
So Coolest is just straight up claiming as a Neutral now? I have a general rule that I like to keep handy: Only a Neutral or Scum would claim as a Neutral, and neither are on Town's side.
