No, let's be real. Soup, if not sjoupey, is a mislynch waiting to happen just based on however many times he's ended up claiming or getting lynched way sooner than seems possible. I feel pretty confident about reading most people... I had a hard time with marshy last game, but I'm not seeing any kryptonite I have to worry about. It will always depend on who is posting and putting in effort, though.
Kk, how are you feeling about the Soup/Joey aka Honk wagon that is going on right now? Do you think people are making valid points, or is it another example of “mislynch waiting to happen” happening right now?
Ruy why are you even saying the things you're saying. What the hell do you expect to find out about me voting NL? What the hell do you expect to find from asking ******* who BWolfs mate is? Your Garg question is fine but that's why you need to shut the **** up, cuz you're clogging the thread and will surely continue if not stopped, regardless of alignment.
Hey @
July
wanna be friends?
That was a good time to ask me to be friends because I agree with all your questions/criticisms addressed to RR in the first part of this quote. I’ll think about it, but first I would like to know what your thoughts are on Gargaglione. Also, can you elaborate on your positive vibes wrt J?
Gorg’s comments on Gorf and Kary in his #92 (“Gorf being Gorf is null and means nothing to me. Ruy has little content (as does everyone so far) and he seems to be just trying to get things started, as does Kary.”) summarize essentially how I feel. The only thing that I would add is that some of Kary’s aggression just doesn’t look right to me, like this aimed at J:
FoS: Gorf
@J, you didn't answer my question in #25 (
link). Are you even reading the thread?
Aggression in itself isn’t bad, but so far it’s felt a bit aimless and misdirected at petty things that require follow-up, but not necessarily urgency or confrontation.
Soup I think it would be better if you waited for a comp right now, the back and forth with Gheb isn't needed.
Outside of maybe telling me it's unlikely Soup=Gheb scum but that's really all I get since I doubt you both staged this.
I like this post; even though it’s short, you point out an interaction that I also think is one of genuine annoyance and confrontation that rather than a staged conflict. Not really helpful in terms of reading Honk/Gheb for me, but your reaction to it and pointing out the apparently genuinity of the exchange does read well to me.
Overall comment, I’m liking Nich’s posts/questions on page 3, especially his #133 essentially asking Gheb essentially if his read on Honk is “dumb or scum”, which is a good question considering the actual dialogue of Gheb’s interactions with Honk.
Not loving J’s #134, it’s really flattering, to the point that it started to feel like buddying up to the new player. It’s very nice, but that doesn’t meant there aren’t other intentions behind the complimentary nature of the post.
Nich mentioned J buddying in his post #148, which I’m glad someone else picked up on, and makes some good points about J’s cautious handling of Honk’s actions and the wagon building around him. I think this is a solid argument wrt J’s play so far, as in I see him looking at intent rather than just actions.
@J’s #170: I really don’t think anything that Jakestan has made an impression in terms of a read yet. He’s made an impression in terms of being competent and having a sufficient amount of experience to hold himself in a game, but that doesn’t reflect upon alignment or intent.
On the topic of Honk, I don’t find his/their posts scummy. I think that after the Gheb interactions an easy wagon formed on them, at first probably for pressure but some people have expressed a genuine belief that their slot is being scummy/disingenuous. I think that Honk handled the Gheb situation in a genuine way and recently has been asking some good questions like in #167 to jakestan and #180 to RR.
My two scum leans right now are Kary and J. Kary for this hyper-aggressive behavior that I don’t see going anywhere or providing anything productive other than being a presence in the thread. J for the buddying and because by the time I got done with my read through, all I could remember about J is that he had a lot of posts and asked a lot of questions but I didn’t see them driving discussion forward or aiding scumhunting.
Vote: Kary
FoS: J
