Why would you grill somebody about wanting to vote someone different then. You could basically answer your own question by recognizing they aren't pinged like you. You seem to be acting hella fake

Feels like Obama is floating options since he doesn't truly care, doesn't seem genuine on the heels of the tpc vote.

setting aside the verisimilitude of your claim, sir fool, what i purport to express is the folly of applying such postulates to our dominetic colleague

i.e. i don't think cube answering for other people is scummy behavior for cube

Grill? I had reread all 3 of sombers posts and there hadn't really been anything that stood out as materially townie, so salad throwing that at the end of their post pinged me a bit.

I don't want to vote Obama (town read) or binus (neutral read / I want to see his reads after a flip) but any of the rest I'd be ok with. Maybe easing off on TPC a bit after that post about scum meta.

Again this feels implausibly earnest but I can't figure out what you think is going to change with binus. If you were anyone else I'd say that's fake, but can you explain to me why binus' reads post-flip are valuable? Like what are you hoping to see specifically?

This is incomprehensible to me

So I had made this post quoting the image in the OP to try and get people to engage.

CubicalSucrose posted:

Tag yourself - I'm the ice cream.

There is a joke style where someone will post a thing (image, quote block, newspaper article, whatever) that has "a bunch" of different comment-worthy things about it. The post is accompanied with "tag yourself, I'm X" where X is the thing the OP finds most noteworthy out of (many).

Usually, people will then reply with "I'm Y" or "I'm Z" or riff accordingly.

That didn't happen, for a while. So then later (maybe after waking up from a nap or something), I tried again with:

CubicalSucrose posted:

Lot of people posting, not a lot of people tagging themselves. I am led to believe that they are afraid of BHs.

This is a play on the theme of what I typically seem employed in mafia games as "Lot of people saying they'd vote X, not a lot of people voting X."

It's a little awkward because actually not that many people (at the time) had been posting.

The last line references BHs or "Bounty Hunters" which are role types in mafia where instead of (or in addition to) a standard town or scum win condition, there is a particular player (often only referred to by flavor) that they need to (something).

In this game, and in that OP picture, everything is a type of vanilla. So I was making a joke that people were afraid of "tagging themselves" because it would divulge their flavor and make them more susceptible to being eliminated by bounty hunter characters.

You're not the first person to describe my style as earnest, lol. Either in Mafia or in other walks of life.

Binus is justifiably or not famed for his gut/tone reads when he's town, so in the absence of a scum read on him I just want to give him a chance to get going. (I also saw him get D1 lunched/NK'd a bunch of games in a row which led to him taking a long Maf break, so that probably factors in)

I'd rather not vote for salad, because I read their engagement with me as towny. TPC is still my firm preference.

I'm torn about yeeting YPM. One one hand we get little information, on the other I'm getting sick of the meta of a few people every game just eating a lurker warning on d1 because day 1 sucks.
