Bro you need to take this sh*t down a notch, for real. When did I say you don't pay attention or don't play? My words were "he could be using this argument for cover as a way to not have to make reads or comment on other things" which is a legit take and behavior I JUST OBSERVED YOU DOING IN ANOTHER GAME AS SCUM. You bitched about how everyone wanted to make vote counts that didn't count and you didn't want to because it wasn't part of the theme. You had a lot of posts in that vein, which took up space and didn't advance the game and most importantly kept you from providing information. Sort of like how *you* keep revisiting the argument with GATA  and now you're trying to blow up at me and say you're done for the day.

Take a chill pill, a$$hole.

You hit the nerve others have rubbed raw. That wasn't just for you I just took it out on you sorry.

Nolder's post had 1,082 words. On D1

I had to do a word count to see if it was real. That has to be a record.

My favorite part of this re-read was all of the thumbs down reactions from Nolder lmao

If only they were still butt fumbles...

Why do people keep talking about this being a cult game? I haven't seen anything that hinted such a thing and atp if feels like fear mongering to keep bringing it up as if no read can be trusted which will actively get in the way of building a town core.

So again, why is this part of your narrative on d1?

1.  I asked Pac a direct question on this multiple times in the signup thread and he never answered.  So, no, he never confirmed it.

2.  However, Pac LOVES conversion games, and the theme supports it.

3.  If you read some of his "flavor" scenes, he hints at it.  I'll find them, one sec.

OK it was only one.  But this is a clear signal that this is a conversion game:

It's a vampire theme and its Pac.  I knew this would be a conversion game from the signup thread.  We'll leave it at that until we get confirmation, but to me, its obvious and always has been obvious. 

Grouping these four for the whole "conversion" conversation. Yes...the theme and mod make it possible it's a conversion game but Pac also likes surprises. I'd be more surprised than not if it's not a conversion game, but it's not a foregone conclusion. The flavor scene from Pac saying "he won't go down easy" could be targeting/NK...no?

The bigger issue with 80 was the implication that ol drumsy boy pointed out - that Nol v Gata was town on town but now he's happy moving back to Gata. More on that in a sec..

28 minutes ago, SMC said:

I voted for Nolder because, in totality, he's going too hard to create a train and make cases on D1. It's as if he wants to get to night.

Interesting take. He's definitely putting in a lot of effort, even called it out himself that he wanted to do more this game than past.

6 minutes ago, GATA said:

Sup @CTM? 

Yeah, agree here, too..

So...GATA completely stalled out in a way that not a lot of trains seem to on D1 (unless this, too, is usual now). I don't feel great about that. 80's Nol v Gata bit is creeping up to the most interesting thing at the moment. 

Both Gata and Nol would tell us a lot - not just with their flips but with how people have acted/reacted around their trains. I'd lean town on Nol probably most of anyone thus far though. He literally two games ago coasted as scum with a weird set-up. Entirely possible he's got a cool role (scum or town) and is trying hard due to that, but if only given the 3 options of Gata/Nol/80 I'd keep him last.

I won't lie, as CTM is typically the champion of lynch the inactives I do want to hear from him but I'm struggling to see him doing it to hide? I'd be okay putting some pressure there too, though. JC's weird porn review pings a bit and maybe it's just feel and not reality, but felt like JiF has kinda of gone back and forth between folks a few times more than usual.

I think of those names I'd go Gata/80......JC/JiF......CTM......Nol. And some of that is just to apply pressure/get folks talking.

ewww weird defense.

I like 80 today.  While I didnt love the fluidity of his voting on the early Gata train was concerning but we were seeing the game similarly.  I believe his switch was jokey and I like his play today. 

Yours is gross.

Mine made sense, that simple.  Feel free to ignore it.

Just my impression, that's all.  Other share it, whatever.  Town core is not something people do here, so it really doesn't impact much at this point.  I'm playing, but not digging too deep.  Deal.

*cringe*

I... agree.

You're doing an awful lot of agreeing and making easy/simple statements, and not much of the digging you're accusing me of not doing.  Just food for thought.

Reads:

Nolder is acting like a freak. On D1. And none of his reasoning matches his over-the-top reactions.

A.J. Choosing to iso and compare Nols behavior is just plain scumhunting. 

Nyn trying to squash talk of a conversion game is ridiculous when everybody is thinking it and nobody is doing much about it besides mentioning it as a strong possibility. Apathy does not equal fearmongering.

it’s also good to take note that D1 is now at 34 pages, which makes it a bitter pill to swallow if it does turn out to be a conversion game and we need to go back and compare player’s posts. 
 

I’m good to vote Nol while squinting at Nyn

Just because I don't give you assholes a constant read list does not mean I'm not paying attention. You don't do this sh*t to JC. Where the **** is DPR right now? Verbal? Verbal? Nowhere to be ****in found. But oh sh*t Nolder didn't give detailed thoughts on a 20 player game every 2 pages sh*t either he's not paying attention or he must be scum blah blah blah. 

I was around earlier, and then WORKING.  Don't expect me to be at the keyboard the entire day, this is nothing new.  I mean really, this sh*t is silly and needs to stop.  Some people have the time to be hovering around the game all the time, and some don't.  Simple as that.

I don't hide due to role. There is just too many players and too many posts and you layer on top of it the idea that if this is a conversion game it's all pretty much meaningless, it just doesn't warrant a huge time investment until we get some dead mofo's.

So yea, lets lynch somebody. I picked my favorite of top 2 trains. If you want to lynch me thats cool too. My role isn't important to town. But i can't see keeping up with this many posts when the minute we have a conversion thay are all kind of worthless.

'Dr CTM prescribes death, and lots of it. Until we can get a handle on the game everyone just pissing in the wind right now. lets kill someone

I'm on the same page re: Nyn here, she's starting to look like she's only going for easy pickings and disguising it as scumhunting.

 

Not sure I'm in agreement with Nol, though - he usually puts in more effort as town, and the emo he's shown is not something we see often in scum-Nolder.

Pretty much agreed.  My assumption is this a conversion game and just about everyone has a role.  Let's get to night and see what weird stuff happens, then go from there.

I'm more criticizing the fact you said you caught up and then disappeared before. I know you have work and can't be around all the time not what I was talking about I just didn't articulate it well because mad sorry.

You can't say disappear in the middle of a work day when I'm there and then come back.  That's just life, dude.

Assuming I'm town because my vote was moved against my will.  You know better than to assume like that, so it must be that you were trying for town points or to pocket me.  Nope to both.

I'm more waiting to see if this is a conversion game before I start trying to read into things too much.

 

4 hours ago, Verbal said:

I see a lot of people posting and not saying anything.  DPR and JC come to mind.  Jokes, comments, no digging.  I'm in that group as well (for now).  Like I said, I want to see if this is a conversion game before I try to dig in  - making reads and having them all go to sh*t with a conversion is not something I'm interested in doing right now.

Conversion games are super fun for mods, the people who do the converting, and sometimes the folks that are actually converted, but it's hard for literally everybody else.

I didn't quote all your posts but the two takeaways from your play:

1.  You wondering who stole your vote.

2.  You asserting an unwillingness to hunt because you suspect its a conversion game.

Its lazy play from someone known for lazy scum play in the early stages.

Not feeling great about the absence of Stark. He has been quietly killing it the past few games as town. Beaver mentioned storms so I am not sure if that affected his situation or not. If not, his quietness is on my radar as well. 

I like this take. There are several players I feel are just hanging back and while I can buy the conversion game angle to a certain extent it’s still a convenient excuse to not get in the game

I was fine with your post until this part. If you think try Harding on D1 is pointless fair enough but I don’t like how you’re adding motive behind it that is really only one of a few possible reasons for the effort

Yes, I was wondering why I couldn't vote whenever I wanted.  I didn't say I'm unwilling, I just said I'm not digging in too much - there is a subtle difference, there.  I'm reading and paying attention, just not re-reading and trying to dig deep.  Yet.

 

Nothing to do with laziness.  Stop trying for the easy reach.
