Yeah, I can be caught up in the next couple hours if it's a rush, lol. But I'd rather go slowly and get a better sense of the timeframe and how things transpired.
I see my vote is on Glyph though, that's no good.
Vote: TDW
Alright so I assume he is in the process of reading, so maybe he found something about TDW that he disliked in the process. Of course we don't know because he doesn't explain the vote AT ALL.
Caps lock thing is good, keep doing that.
That was a good read, but really only served to make me feel worse about Pink Lemonade and no better about Asdioh.
Asdioh, has a proper case been made and framed for your lynch? Has anyone posted anything that qualifies, in your eyes? If so, have you responded to that case / those points against you?
So then after his reread he finds me more suspicious and feels no better about Asdioh; he gives no explanation for that random vote on TDW, and if I'm right (I didn't quote all of his posts) he doesn't unvote and vote either of his scum picks here.
Yes, I saw that reasoning in my read. What I was really looking for, though, was for you to continue to be supportive of this vote or otherwise acknowledge it, because prior to my read I saw that you were the only one voting for TDW.
This is ugly. This is an easy vote framed with easy logic, and it comes in the same post where you answer the question, "Why should someone vote for TDW".
Do you feel you tried adequately to convince people of a TDW lynch? If not, what was your intention in voting TDW to begin with? Is an Aposl lynch how you see the Day ending?
@Soup, Smarg convinced you that Aposl was a good vote, yes?
Do you feel you tried adequately to convince people of a BSL/Nabe lynch? If not, what was your intention in voting BSL to begin with? Has your opinion of my slot changed? Is an Aposl lynch how you see the Day ending?
I don't think it's odd that they're paying attention to Asdioh, but I do think more varied attention should be paid by them to others overall. After my interactions with Ran last night though, I'm content with their slot again and they aren't particularly a concern for me.
I think that this is interesting, and when I read this I know that Ran took a good vibe away from their interactions but I feel like what Nabe took away was that we are not a "concern for him" aka we are not going to pose a threat to him.
The earlier parts of the post are talking to Smarg, and this is where he first starts to suggest there may be something scummy about her.
Convinced I've been barking up the wrong trail and that Soup is town. Comfortable with either J or Asdioh.
Vote: Asdioh
Then we come down here and his stances have shifted all over the place again. He says he is convinced that Soup is town (which he came to determine through very little pressure) and that he is now comfortable with either J or Asdioh. Asdioh he had mentioned briefly earlier but this is the first time we see J popping up as a suspect. However, Asdioh gets the vote over J for no explicit reason.
Your play hasn't been to my liking. In another game, you made some very good and helpful posts, and your play here differed in that you didn't; your posts were shallow and too far in-between. You've picked things up since.
Most other important points against you have been addressed.
J seems like town to me. But I can see why people would see him as scummy, and I've been wrong about him before. There's an argument for him being scum with any of JTB/Pink/Glyph/You which is very compelling.
You're a better lynch to me, because you could be scum with the J group or with the Smarg group. You bridge the gap and are genuinely scummy aside from that, which imo J isn't.
Having the votes even at the moment is also a very compelling reason on its own, fyi.
o_O Right before this Nabe said he was comfortable with a J lynch. Nabe now thinks J is town, but provides a whole lot of reasons why J scum is possible and understandable buuut an Asdioh lynch is better. Nabe trying to cast doubt on J without actually getting involved or pushing for his lynch.
Oh gosh I like Seik's play all of a sudden. Glad to see support for the idea of Smargscum.
1059 is an ugly switch to Soup that coincides with the first person to really lay a vote on Smarg.
X1, check out the exchange that goes on in 1042 > Bottom of 1045 > 1052, i.e. TDW/Asdioh.
First time Nabe mentions Seikend, and he basis his read on Seikend on this one choice to support Smargscum? I don't like it, Nabe is just piecing together his reads on people as he goes based on if they agree or disagree with him.
J, what games have you played with Smarg before?
IMO her posts are inherently scummy; I've pointed out the recent ones. Her votes are weightless and shifty and opportunistic.
That said, the lynch isn't going anywhere. Asdioh is going.
JTB is scummier, X1 null. The GLG part of GLG hasn't been posting, I asked that earlier.
Check out JTB's 125, that's what started it for me. He makes sure to make a note of the fact that he's wagoning, specifically, and not voting of his own accord. He has a very different posting style from an ongoing game in which he was clearly town and flipped such.
I felt better about him after his 442 though, and after JTB v. Seik in which I thought Seik was scum. I now think it was probably TvT.
I like his lynch for connections to you, but your play has been alright. I liked your 409 in which you seemed to genuinely read Pink well -- supports the idea of J/Pink but otherwise looks pretty alright. I didn't like your 534 in which IMO you took a bit of an odd jump, but then I realized you were v/la at the time and it could be attributed to that.
So he gives up on the Smarg lynch not because he found Asdioh scummier, but because the Smarg lynch just wasn't going to take off (that ironically did end up taking place) and he needed a new target instead of, you know, pushing and getting his hands dirty.
Then he says that JTB is scummier than X1, with X1 being null, so I guess that puts JTB null leaning scummy?...but then he says he believes that JTB v. Seikend is probably town v. town so he must have a town read on JTB right? or at least leaning town? These two ideas in the same post really don't seem to line up.
1100 is a terrific example of why Aposl is town. He posted that
quick, he's gutsy. Town recklessness.
Soup is probably town, but there's a terrific case for Smarg/Soup lying just out of reach and I really want to make it
He says Soup is probably town, okay he said that a little while ago. But now he infers that there is this faint semblance of a Smarg/Soup scum buddy option that he could make but he knows he would be reaching...but why even bring it up if you supposedly have a town read on Soup? That's not going to help him convince people Soup is town, if he really believed that.
Asdioh, you should claim if you haven't already, we're getting to that time.
That's cool.
Claim please, Asdioh, thanks.
Vote: Smarg
Oh hey look at that. Smarg is L-1.
So, Asdioh...remember when you said KevinM had a large part in getting you and Smarg to L-1 and getting you guys to claim? I would say that Nabe was much more insistent on getting claims from people and in getting Smarg to L-1.
J, nothing inherently scummy about your wagon. However, the people who unvoted Smarg prior without picking a new vote need to be looked at. Seik, Soup, TDW, PL, and JTB who unvoted a full 20-ish posts later.
Asdioh, who's your lynch for toDay?
Those five are scummy for doing what I said. I'd take any of their lynches. Currently however, Asdioh's the lynch until he answers my question.
He called Seik town. He called Soup town. He really didn't take a stance on TDW after that initial vote. He had previously said we were not a concern for him. And JTB we saw last time as null leaning scummy or town v. Seikend. Yet he's willing to let ANY of these people get lynched while vaguely pushing his scum pick Asdioh. And all because they didn't unvote within 20 posts of Smarg claiming, that is enough to erase his previous reads and make them scummy enough they can be lynched.
JTB and Soup.
Soup's play has been different from his other games, IMO, and I was curious if he had noticed a change himself.
These are Nabe's two scummy picks out of the five people he said could go. We know how JTB flipped. His stance on Soup changed
again from scummy, to town, now suddenly to scummy again...his reads are really inconsistent.
Kind of sick of the doc/watcher combo, to be honest. Deciding who's town and who's scum out of that makes me cringe every time. I don't want that in lylo. I'd rather lose the PRs and play a decent vanilla game and not have to think about that.
But JTB's responses are ugly and it's altogether better to get rid of him and keep the PRs.
Vote: JTB
I've already talked about this quote in another post, but he complains about doc/watcher combo and says he'd rather lose prs and play a vanilla game, but then he immediately vote JTB and decides to "keep the prs".
Lol, PL. J can go, I don't care. At the end of the Day if you like.
Soup is scum though, talk more about that.
His response to my noticing that he keeps hinting at J scum but won't vote J or act on any of the issues he has with J. He then immediately diverts talk away from J to focus on his idea that Soup is scum.
If Nabe would flip scum, there is a really strong connection between him and J. A Nabe scum flip would also make me think that Soup is town. Nabe town flip would make me suspicious of Soup in particular.
