Don’t play like you don’t clearly understand the demeaning effect of referring to it as a “tunnel,” which is very commonly understood to be an irrational, ill-founded push that ignores exonerating evidence.
I actually didn't know it was meant to be this demeaning. I just figured it meant I was doing something wrong.

It’s referring to “having tunnel vision,” meaning that if you are tunneling, then for a number of possible reasons, you are dead-set committed on a theory of the case despite the presence of evidence to the contrary, and you are ignoring that evidence or not properly qualifying why that contrary evidence doesn’t matter.

Describing something as a tunnel isn’t per se demeaning—ghug stated that he believed I was tunneling on Byz to some degree, and he wasn’t being demeaning about it at all—but when one person is clearly earnestly explaining things and being cautious about conclusions, and the other responds with a one-off accusation of tunneling and no meaningful engagement, it comes off as demeaning to me.

Actually on this note, Jamie you jumped all over rdrivera the moment I exposed an opportunity, but you were also a leader on Byz all of day 1. Has your read on byz/snowy changed so much that you feel rdr is “down to rights” as I believe you said?
No I still think Byz/Snow is likely scum tbh.
Assuming Byz/snowy is scum, why would scum rdrivera not participate in EOD with the chance to look good?
He was driving and wants to spend time with his family.

Most sites are 12 or 24 hour nights lately. Only mafia scum is 48 hours. Because they are weirdos.

I think we need to seriously consider that pyxxy was trying to cause a tie there.
Likely the opposite. I think Pyxxy's vote going through decreases the chance of a tie by ensuring the number of people with relevant votes is odd. Assuming his vote goes through, we can only tie if one of the vote changing tags is off the wagons and the other is on the right wagon to make a difference. As for why he didn't vote earlier, I'm not entirely sure. @Pyxxy, if you haven't said already, why didn't you vote earlier?

One random thought is if Pyxxy and Byz are scum, does Pyxxy intentionally vote just after the deadline so that he can 'vote' for scum knowing his vote will be invalid?

Great contribution.

Anyway I like this excerise. Helps figure out world building and if your reads make sense or not
Okay everyone. Let's all shut the fuck up. Because this is not productive at all.

I was wrong for having opinions. Like always before the banhammer drops. I apologize. I won't do it again.

Instead of doing this petty thing where we back and forth. Lets actually discuss relevent shit. Admittedly my only example of relevence is where the fuck was rdr at tiebreak?
If I were going to ban you for having opinions I would have to ban productive members of our site that have opinions such as Mapleleaf, Draugnar, Tettleton’s Chew, and ghug
ghug has opinions?

I think I buy rivera just being busy and driving at EOD. I’m pretty sure I’m stealing this thought from somebody else but can’t be fucked to look up who—but someone said that if he were mafia, he would know the alignments of the wagons and know where he needed his vote to be, so he wouldn’t just randomly check in and then not move his vote unless his vote were right where it needed to be from the mafia’s perspective. I don’t see any inherent reason why his explanation is implausible. It doesn’t have to be true, but it passes the BS test to me

This kind of thinking is why earlier (like in the page 80 or so range) I mentioned I was more incliend to trust you vs damo or Pyx, despite your relative lack of posting, it felt like you were adding value with your posts, whereas theirs didn't feel like they were.

This is less true with the vote altering nametags and a third of people on vanity wagons. It undoes any potential pile-on.

I did consider the fake bus possibility, but ultimately I don't think that's likely to garner any cred, and it's quite the thing to come up with under pressure and with votes flying, so I don't think it's that likely.

On the subject of adding value, I went over Neon's posts and she feels active and here, but not particularly in the value column. (at least from my own subjective interpretation) Sabi by contrast, actually feels like they are attempting to contribute value in theirs.

Also, speaking of damo, damo had some back and forth with Neon and seemed to think Neon scumslipped at one point. Given that damo turned out to be town, I'm curious if this was just some kind of meme, or if it reflects on Neon.

@Damo666: Are you arguing that President Eden and Princess Neon are scum together?

If yes, why do you think that?

If no, why are you voting for Princess Neon?
No.
N/a.
Partly the scumslip, mostly for giggles.
Or, and sorry about this Eden, if damo was actually referring to you. This was during the whole Neon and Eden are the same person thing.

You therefore do not think this, which you said an hour ago?

By the way, post edits or not, Bo_Sox has Rdrivera bang to rights here.

Rdrivera said he'd be around at EoD to break a tie if that was a risk.

There was a tie, or the risk of a tie, in the last few minutes to EoD.

Rdrivera was around at EoD.

Rdrivera did nothing to attempt to break the tie.

Plain, indisputable facts.
It is a pretty big flip flop to go from “bang to rights” (I thought the phrase was dead to rights but whatever) and “plain, indisputable facts” to thinking that his justification for failing to contribute to EOD was completely valid. And all it took was me pointing out that my assertion only holds water if Byz/snowy is scum, which you believe and I do not.

You're so serious. Calm down Jamie.

Ok so I actually think, to be honest, that you've exposed a strange inconsistency in Rdr's behaviour, whatever the reason. I would speculate that he was paralysed by indecision and didn't want to be seen saving a team mate?

Hi Celaph!

I wrote a partial explanation somewhere in the beginning of N1 but I refreshed and saw it wasn't tied, posted about not moving then refreshed my bot tab and the bot said it was tied, so I tried to rush back to the thread to vote to avoid a tie but the bot didn't have Vecna's re-re-flip yet
