It would almost be cute, if it weren't so hideously annoying.
You're just proving everything I said right, you know.

Sigh

I have a theory. I think you're all deep learning bots building on top of the first take anyone puts in the game, and snowball it to exponential explosions.

I suppose there's a certain irony to going to sleep accusing you all of not asking questions, and waking up to the same.

At this time I note Jamiet has left without stating his reason for scum reading ghug. A convenient timing? Time will tell.



Bona! On what grounds would you state that worcej's few initial posting does not already feel scummy? Does any of his comments stand out as towny to you?

Snowy! Why did you question Bona's disagreement, but not Vecna's original comment? Does anything in worcej's comments seem scummy to you?

I actually town read worcej, but there's little value in questioning early scum reads. It usually just amounts to "I don't like something."

There is much greater value in asking about someone's denial of another read. I've been trying to teach (some) of you how to think past surface level thoughts to extract value in people's posts, and it usually boils down to understanding the state of mind from which certain posts can be made.

In this particular, anyone can "feel" a person is scummy or towny, that is natural. But it is important to remember that nobody (but scum) knows with certainty to be true, so you need several additional degrees of confidence (which is still not much) to reject someone else's opinion on a matter, and so early on when there is the least information the thoughts of someone trying to negate another's reads is much more meaningful than someone presenting their own thoughts.

That being said, it's difficult to parse these from people who are just inexplicably confident, but I don't have a problem with what Bona had to say.

@snowy it looks like the kill is in your gift. At least Jamie is contributing. I'll be disappointed if you don't opt for fish.

I don't want to opt for either. I don't even opt for you, damo/bozo was just the static blocs that the Aussies left me

Okay, now that Maniac switched, here's what I'm going to say.

I'm going to pre-commit to voting fish. This means that, as is, the vote will be 8-6 in favor of fish (assuming all else equal and a fish vote)

Which means the Jamiet voters are more or less fucked, which ought to give them the freedom to meander to other wagons.

Who wants to last minute flash? My considerations are worcej > Kakarroto > rdrivera

##vote worcej

I can't shake the feeling that this is all too easy

I'm going to ##vote worcej for now as we now have majority Kaka regardless, and see where that leads us

I will return to Kaka, over Jamiet or fish

It's true, I even admitted it earlier!

Why did you vote for worcej at EOD?

1) I wanted for there to be a worcej vs. kaka final setup
2) I wondered if anyone would try to save kaka

Neither happened, but then, I didn't expect the hammer so I guess someone else might not have either
