Caught up. Finished the Lift reread

I'd vote Trent already but honestly I suspect Drealmer would ride in for the rescue (read for the hammer) and cut the convo short again. So Ima gonna sit a bit tight and keep hashing things out.

I'll be checking in during work hours today. Any pending topics, etc...

Now, I got 3 things to do:
A - thoughts on reread of Lift
B - deeper replies to yesterda's posts I skimmed
C - fun stuff

Section A
The Obvi-scum's demise

Overall I managed to see all the narratives with my own eyes.
I also noticed this interesting exchange @Trent, which makes me wonder if scum daychat was effective for our particular scum pair.

Further on I see post 226 as perhaps distancing, 238 with Lift lurking for lurkers. D1 overall seems scum didn't need to do much. And don't they know it:

Day 2 starts and we have this pearl:

Or post 445 where Lift responds to Trent but ignores that Trent just scum read him.

Post 458 Adalia self-votes. Play of the match this.

What follows everyone knows. Then RW and Hyper and Adalia pile on Lift. D2 ends shortly after. Yay town!

Enough said?

Section B
How amusing

Heh... I have resisted that so far... have little enough as it is.

@Drealmer, do an ISO of me to see how to get into a fight with Hyper. ;)

Section C
What did I miss?

+1

It can probly wait, but have a look at how things are going and if no walls of text...

+1 on the Obama slogan. Especially since we are banking on sub par scum. Yes?


This is misrep! I use the adjective ironically...
But to your deeper point, yes, Trent seems scummy mainly for his (not)playing.

heh... sounds kinky

Yeah, this is definitely scummy to me. It's the whole 'Woe is me, you've got it wrong but I'm resigned to my fate and will just accept the mislynch' which doesn't really fit considering he was wholeheartedly pursuing me as scum yesterday. He either thinks pushing me further is only going to look scummy in light of yesterday or that the more he talks it will just be digging his grave further.
So instead he's going for the sympathy / pity (non) vote in the hopes that if he sits tight we might just lynch drealmer or someone else instead.

I considered copy pasting Trent's "come on scum, don't give up like this" challenge to Nacho from that other game. But then I thught of how that ended up and decided against it...

Does this imply an adaliabooks town-flip, or is it independently of how he'd flip?



For now, just this:

Did you reread yourself, and up to now? Because if you didn't, I expect that paying attention when rereading didn't do you any good regarding this.

It was you that said "I think we should pay some attention to dear old RW when he said to beware clearing folks despite how influential they were in securing a lynch. [...]" in your post #650.
I replied to you and this with the specific bit in my post #654 that you quoted here.

While I don't see how the "who" I used can be mistaken as referring to anyone other than you, here - I'm talking about you. Hope it's clear enough for you, and everyone else, now.


I have no idea what the "Obama slogan" is, hence how I made a reference to it. More importantly, could you elaborate on the rest of your comment?


My deeper, as you call it, point was not that he's not playing.



Since you believe that there will be a Tomorrow, help town out to get it right D4, put something on the table for us to work with.

For instance, you asked drealmer7 why he went from "not touching that wagon" to "let's do it" so quickly ((post #642). He answered this question in his posts #675, #677 and #681. What do you make of it?

You still seem pretty convinced the remaining scum is adaliabooks, but you also said you'd not give Brasas a free pass. Any thoughts on him?

I can sort of see the resignation, but if you are town, as you claim, the least you could do is help us as much as you can to nail scum at LyLo.

From the bottom

PotAYto, PotAHto...

(not)Playing, playing while resigned, dead scum walking... I'm sure we can find even more figures of speech...
Unless I'm actually missing your point?

Hope. And should I?


Now this is just embarassing o_0 although it kinda proves my point on your clarity...

You are right that I did not find something on my reread relevant to this. But I didn't do a full reread, 'twas closer to an ISO on Lift and partially on Trent and I was in a hurry.

That said, I still recall some comment(s) about you being a natural NK from somewhere upthread and I thought that's what you meant: that someone (I assumed Trent) had earlier made a comment about you surviving N2, in preparation for trying to wagon you today.

I would ask if you're sure I was the first to bring that up, but I suspect we'd get into semantics of what "that" referred to. When rereading your sentence I can see you meant N3 when you said "another night", but well... that's not how I interpreted it up to now.

Thanks for clarifying I guess.

I almost feel like I'm damned if I do and I'm damned if I don't. Every time I attempt to point out how scummy I think adalia is playing you try to poke holes all through any arguments because you firmly believe he's town. So as far as that goes I've said all I'm gong to say because it's a distraction now more than anything. As for Brasas he's filled in quite nicely for gogtrial and I find his play to be town Brasas. As for drealmer I'm not getting into any spats with him today, I feel his frustration as I've been there and the last thing I want is a pointless back and forth with him that ends up with more hard feelings between us. Would I vote drealmer, without a doubt. Would I vote adalia, without a doubt. Would I vote Brasas, probably not. Would I vote you, no.

The Monday slipped by me vote count...


Votecount
trentonlf (1): adaliabooks

Not Voting: Brasas, drealmer7, HypersomiacLive, trentonlf

At L-2, trentonlf is closest to lynch.

Ah, I see. You expect me to be clear and straightforward, but reserve the right to not be yourself, and play silly little games. OK.

As for the hope bit, that's because I haven't ruled out completely everyone else. I admit I'll be surprised if the game doesn't end with trentonlf's lynch, but I can't 100% rule out that it may not.


Why would I be referring you to past Nights, when you were clearly talking about D4 and my survival of the N3 NK?

As for trentonlf, he's cornered himself too deep into town-reading me, he knows him prepping me for a mislynch Today wouldn't fly. But he's smart to have killed RWarehall who was confirmed town after Lifthrasil's flip; why confirm me to those still doubting/suspecting me, and risk the players alive D3 take my case against him seriously?



Emm... no. Take for example his self-vote. You were all astonished and outraged - how could he ever do such a thing; clearly, he must be scum - as if you've never ever seen adaliabooks act reckless as town. I admit I found the timing odd, so kept talking to him to see where he's going with it.
And when I pointed out that it was "quite town-adalibooks", you twisted my comment into me having said it was "town play from adaliabooks", and be even more astonished I could think such a thing. I'm pretty sure town-you would be able to see, if not share, my view, and wouldn't be so quick to paint him almost confirmed scum, and indirectly ask me to support you in this.

So no, I don't poke holes in any arguments you make because I firmly believe he's town, I stick my finger into the holes that your arguments have to begin with.


I don't see why expressing your take on drealmer7's arguments necessarily equates to getting into a spat with him; if nothing else, drealmer7 has ceased engaging any of us directly a long time ago. The most I'd expect is him deciding his read of you as town does indeed mean you are scum.

But thanks for sharing how you'd vote, and why.

Just one more question - does the "I find his play to be town Brasas" mean you find his play consistent with how he (usually) plays as town?

EBWOP - too much editing around before hitting the post button

That should be:

I admit II didn't expect that and I found the timing odd, so kept talking to him to see where he's going with it.

[rolls eyes]

So, still reluctant to vote? Is there something in particular you still want for today?
I think I'd like to hammer, but still debating if I should. What do you think?

oh, trent, how so much I want you to be town and to break this cycle

but I just don't think so - I feel like you're trying to appeal to me in roundabout ways too

adalia trying to set me up as the next lynch if trent is a mislynch stinks

HSL seems to be having WAYYY too much fun, but, that is great that you are, HSL!

brasas, can you talk to me about IF trent is a ML, what you are then seeing?

I've been wondering all day if that's a convo I should embark on...

*sigh* I even managed to screw up my EBWOP


You look quite fetching when you do that.


Are you in a hurry? I'd like a reply from drealmer7 (post #694) and trentonlf (post #698) before the Day ends, if you don't mind.

As for you hammering - why are you asking me? Do as you please. Should the game not end, what I think should be pretty obvious at that point, especially if I'm still around. ;-)

ya I realized I forgot to address you as I pressed enter, HSL

I'll get to you in a bit, making lunch right now
