Stop trying to whiteknight dabuz wagoners. Those people all offered *no* valid reasoning on why he was supposedly scummy, the wagon against him has not given us any good info and dabuz ultimately wasn't the ideal play. End of story. Just because he's expandable doesn't mean that everybody who sheeped his wagon is free from responsibility. Of course, you yourself are guilty of this as well so it doesn't surprise me you're trying to justify this course of action but unless you're actually scum [which I still believe to be the case] you're just blindfolding yourself with this stupidity. Especially the "pressure people that take no stance on dabuz" part. Are you insane? What stances is one supposed to take on a player that has been pressured despite not being scummy in the least and has been completely null during his entire lifespan? If this is the reasoning for you to justify all the crap Kary pulled off [plus ignoring valid cases just because *you* don't know his meta] AND ACTUALLY HAVE A TOWN READ ON HIM then it's not surprise that almost all of your reads are completely off.kary - i loved his play D1. pressured Dabuz and jumped on people who weren't making any stances on him.
@bold: needs to be backed up. You're making random claims / justifications for one bunch of the people but use a different standard for soup. Why is his jump on the wagon worse or less authentic, let alone in a game where there are no votes? Even if all the players "voted" for dabuz he wouldn't have been lynched if the King decided against it. So what are you actually holding against soup?soup both marshy and kary's jump on the dabuz wagon felt authetnic, but Soup's felt forced and i didn't buy it. [...] his AtE towards the end of the Day, however, screamed town. i've seen flailing scum and i've seen flailing town often. i trust my gut feelings alot when it comes to this and i dont feel scum emitting from Soup since late D1.
HOWEVER
it doesn't nullify his early D1 play completely. so i understand the Soup hate. but i won't be shooting him toDay solely because i think there are much better choices based off dabuz flip.
Really? The way he pointed out the connection between soup and Kary - who are both agreed to be some of the best plays toDay - was not townie looking for scum? What game are you playing? The case is valid and if you don't get the meta then as the one who carries out the execution it's your job to familiarize yourself with it. Because you know, it kind of matters to be informed about the players before calling time on their lifes. You can say you "don't enjoy his input" but that's just a worthless, subjective impression. Objectively it's some of the most productive content this game has so far - pressuring sheeps, getting them involved in discussions and looking for connections between the participants. That's what wins games for town and is quite the opposite of what you and the people you're whiteknighting [Kary, Soup, HN] have done.jdietz - one of the whiteknighters from dabuz' wagon that pressured kary scum. questioned the people on the lynch (similar to gheb, jerkus, dbear) but decided to choose kary out of meta reasoning and familiarity. i haven't enjoyed his input and i believe he's been taking a back seat for most of the game; a slightly more active Hando. i dont like his slot one bit. nothing about his D1 or D2 play makes me think he's town searching for scum.
I'm so amazing I am already caught up.I'm nto even expecting Ran to post anything anytime soon with a 40 page D1.
I feel he's town. Your partner tell on me and Omni is really out there if I say so myself.What's your read on Omni
what about my vote on Soup was "weird". i did comment on Soup's random vote on me. told him we both knows it meant nothing. i agree tho that Soup was becoming the flavor of the moment during the whole soup/bardull/kary/jerkus fiasco. also, i talked about Soup the entire D1 as more soup talked progress. literally just search this thread by name for me and search for Soup, lol.Omni had a weird vote on Soup early D1. Felt like distancing, and I didn't like how Omni never commented on Soup's random vote on him. I feel Omni has only looked at Soup when it was obvious Soup should have been commented on. Later on when there was more talk about Soup Omni hasn't really been commenting on him. Don't like his Scumgheb stance in #493 and seems more like to discredit Gheb. 3/4 of his recent scumreads I think are town. Guess who.
Quote it for me please. Also, why did you re-read Soup? What exactly made you read him as town. Also no need I don't want to be friends with scum.what about my vote on Soup was "weird". i did comment on Soup's random vote on me. told him we both knows it meant nothing. i agree tho that Soup was becoming the flavor of the moment during the whole soup/bardull/kary/jerkus fiasco. also, i talked about Soup the entire D1 as more soup talked progress. literally just search this thread by name for me and search for Soup, lol.
everything else okay. if you're on the gheb love train then it's clear that you're gonna be on the omni hate train. and that means we can't be friends.![]()
Right here Ran.I feel like the same position I was in yesterday. I want another flip and this discussion feels trivial as I've got my wheels turning again. I know there are some things I still need to respond to but they have become a tiring and long argument, full of me tripping on my own words and repeating myself over and over again. I am going to bow out for this sake and focus on the stronger direction of discussing who is getting the bullet today.
Reciting my previous post, I really cannot stand Bardull this game. I feel some of this is a perception of how he is playing this game, but really the line between what is truly scummy and what is disdain feels fine to me. I legitimately feel Bardull ignoring me, not pushing me yet putting me up as his strongest scumread, is a load of bull****. Along with his commitment. His interaction with me doesn't make feel better about him and I find myself shaking my head at the fact some people are reading him on town. Mix that in with early interaction too and you've just got a mesh of uncanny feelings and pretenses.
I don't like Kary. I have already boiled down to such reasoning and there is no need to repeat myself. I want to give Ranmaru a chance however. I'm confident on reading him.
JD is such a bittersweet thing for me. His effort is there and he's responding unlike I would think he would, but that's implying he didn't realize his mistakes before as scum and his stepped his game up. I would like to believe that all that JD has done is concrete enough for a town-read, but the back of my head says there's something more to him. I feel there's an obvious connection between him and Kary, and a main reason why I feel like Kary is the right shot is because of this. I've already stated multiple times (and once already in this phase) why I feel this way and my feelings simply haven't changed. I'm only revising them as my content has become sparse.
I literally don't know what Hando is doing this game. I feel even from observation and past experiences, that something is wrong with him. There's no conviction in what he says, there's nothing solid and everything goes every which way. With what stances he has, he doesn't even push them. I'm not going to imply that Hando is a master of mafia, but every town has some incentive to do something. There is a huge lack of incentive regarding him.
Jerkus is just a feeling. I don't like them based on how they're treating me. This isn't confirmation bias rather than tilting my head and just feeling something off. Bear did a good job of reciting a lot but I believe I've covered what I don't like about him either this game. I wouldn't shoot him today.
Mastermind is such an enigma. I don't even want to bother my read on them because frankly I would rather care what they give me in the end, and along with Kary, they have connections.
Quote it for me please.
*scratches head*
I've been ignoring the rest of the thread, but I'll do a reread in a few and share my thoughts on whatever is going down between Bardull/Bear/Kary. I'll probably continue ignoring that initial vote from you, Soup, because I think we both know it didn't have any meaning behind it.
i'll restate. early D1 Soup: scummy as hell. flailing end of D2 Soup: AtE didn't appear like a scum flail. im a gut player and my gut definitely read a Soup town near his end of D2. also on the continuation of D3. more importantly, after the Dabuz/Marshy flip i felt there were much more better potential candidates now that i'm feeling better about him.Also, why did you re-read Soup? What exactly made you read him as town.
Actually, a lot it was dealt with partners in a sense but JD has had his own things that bother me, especially that one argument I got in with him earlier in D1. There's something about him and something about his stance towards you also. Why are you townreading JD despite the fact he wants your slot dead toDay? I can say that Omni is purely gut at this point and not nearly as strong as reads like DBear. I can't explain it as I haven't taken the time to go into it much like other slots already dealt with. You have Me, Jerkus, Omni, and Bardull as scum. Is this a team of sorts (You've hinted Me/Omni) and why do you lean certain ways despite others?I wish that would be the case Soup.
So now that you have me as town, doesn't that make your JD stance null, since you felt Kary+him were buddies?
Also I meant reasoning on OmniTown please. Also tell me what you think of his re-read on you when he answers me.
Omni I'll get to you in a minute.
I'll have to think it through carefully.@Gheb: what is your stance on Kary/Ranmaru after his newest information dump? you've wanted Kary's slot very dead for a very long time; does this change things?
Ok thanks, I didn't notice that because I skimmed anything having to do with Dabuz. Why did it take you a while to comment on it tho? Also you say you are a gut player but then how can you show 'scum' to others with just gut? I don't see how Soup's end AtE = Town AtE. Quote which AtE you felt was Town AtE and why. You say Soup is an easy lynch yet you were fine with lynching Dabuz yesterday while being an easy lynch. What do you think of Soup's reads?i'll restate. early D1 Soup: scummy as hell. flailing end of D2 Soup: AtE didn't appear like a scum flail. im a gut player and my gut definitely read a Soup town near his end of D2. also on the continuation of D3. more importantly, after the Dabuz/Marshy flip i felt there were much more better potential candidates now that i'm feeling better about him.
and im not scum. i'm town. very town. and if i was scum (said this before) i would have bus'd the **** out of Soup toDay by using the Dabuz/Marshy flip as a solidifier to Soup being scummy somehow and would have turned his AtE in further reason that he is scum. Soup is an easy lynch toDay and scum me would be:
Ranmaru: similar to Gheb, do u think that soup and i are scum together? and if not, who do you think my scum partner would be and why?
What 'something'. You are going to have to elaborate on that. I only have a slight town read on him because he seems to be putting that work in. I liked this one post where he was poking Rakebear to see if his stances lined up with his own. Vibed town to me. Don't see anything of concern wrt to JD. Ok can you like quote which posts you are gutreading Omni as town? I'm sure you can do that.Actually, a lot it was dealt with partners in a sense but JD has had his own things that bother me, especially that one argument I got in with him earlier in D1.
