though i'd worry about being wrong, i'm not all that certain, but I do have... thoughts.

[Cephrir]

im tempted to be interested if you had something compelling

alisae is the only place i absolutely would not vote right now

[Cephrir]

hm maybe that's not true but i'd hear you out at least

[mith]

[aside]kuribo and I were discussing site meta, and I just realized that this is

already

the longest (in terms of posts) game I have ever been a part of (almost certainly not by word count though).

I'm old enough to remember when games lasted fewer pages than players.[/aside]

[Datisi]

i'll probably be awake for only another hour or so, maybe hour and a half, so like... what are we doing

[Staeg]

Bella, any chance of an imag vote?

[Alisae]

cause like...

at this point if we're giving me that kind of power i'd rather break the mental mold this game is in and aim for something that is kind of... itching at me

What’s on your mind

[Menalque]

This game is giving me whiplash.

I won't be voting for anyone other than Rad or imaginality; I think it's very likely at least one is scum. Staeg seems unlikely to be scum except with Rad, I think (2296 in particular is weird if Staeg is scum and Rad/imaginality are both town; and Staeg staying on the imaginality wagon in 2178 makes even less sense if they are scum together and Rad is town).

Prior to 2118, when I discussed Rad's mounting suspicion with kuribo we were of the mindset that Rad scum seemed more likely if imaginality scum. 2118 makes a lot less sense in that light though; at the time it was posted, Staeg was the leading wagon in terms of actual votes (and essentially tied in expressed preferences; Cephrir had been voting imaginality and LLD was a virtual hammer vote, while Gimli had been on Staeg briefly and would be again soon after). I guess I could see this as an attempt to distance in hopes that Staeg is the lim anyway? After all, Rad isn't unvoting and switching to imaginality with that post.

Sticking with Rad for now, but I'll be around if I need to move.

jingle says that given that rad/imag are essentially the same wagon the mechanically correct thing to do is to lim imag first, idk how my fellow imag/rad voters feel about that

Who do you think is more likely to be scum?

For me, unsure. But I trust my team and they tell me that they think imag is still more likely scum than rad, so imag

I also do think that imag is more helpful to sort other slots than rad would be

[Menalque]

i tried my best but this day is looking like an L to me

Imaginality is very much still possible if you change your vote

[Menalque]

Koba is telling me I have to share their latest team solve which is exactly rad/imag/gimli but I don’t believe it’s that easy and think one of those is probably wrong, but I wouldn’t be surprised with 2/3

What’s on your mind

with this little time left in the day... ah.. i don't think it's doable or worth flipping everything on

[Lady Lambdadelta]

especially because i'm not certain

Ooh, is this where I use that overly large discord emoji thing?

gimli rad imaginality

Have to admit it bothers me a bit that Cephrir's bottom 3 is exactly my "most likely scum group if I'm right about imaginality".

Was it really just this easy?

Also curious what Koba thinks of 2118 re: a Rad+imaginality pairing.

[Alisae]

Hit me

Apparently so!

And I’ve passed it along, waiting for koba go get back — they’re online so probably quite soon

[Lady Lambdadelta]

Hit me

it's such a bad idea from something that is just itching me, Ali.

I worry even saying it would be bad.

[Menalque]

Jesús Christ spit it out some of us need to go to bed

[Menalque]

@mith koba thinks 2118 is just a load of AtE bc rad hasn’t followed up with anything meaningful — empty words

[Lady Lambdadelta]

but tell you what, you want the infohazard? maybe you get there on your own

the ping pong between the Rad and Imaginality wagons is... really strange. Is there really not one who townreads one and scumreads the other? Are all those people really on Staeg? And as much as I think Staeg is town how did he get cleared like he did?

I feel like the triad of staeg/imaginality/rad has 1 scum in it at most and there are scum manipulating the wagons to try and achieve their ultimate goals here.

the whole of it doesn't feel natural

so when i look at who stands where and who is looking for others to give them direction and who is leading and what town is doing

i get some funky ideas and some realllll bad itches about a few players

[Rad]

What's there to follow up on? No one took the offer. You want me to pester people about it?

[Rad]

@mena

Why would it be bad?

[Alisae]

I scratch my itches

[Alisae]

More cases than not that’s probably not a good idea irl

This isn’t koba this is me but I imagine they’d say the same thing: i struggle to believe that you seriously thought anyone would take you up on that offer because there was no need to
