VOTE: pavowski

[Jake The Wolfie]

While you're here asking questions Duckland,

The current top-posters are Firebringer, May, Penguin, gob, and yourself. You've already stated your thoughts on gob, so what do you think of the others three?

[Jake The Wolfie]

VOTE: pavowski

Excellent choice sir. Any particular reason for pavowski?

VOTE: pavowski

i think his posting is pretty scummy

i also don't think duck is particularly scummy

[Brian Skies]

blink once if ur a power role challenge

blinks twice

[Dannflor]

i think the fixation on duck's inconsistency about voting him vs voting with him is the type of focus to come from scum more often than not, like it doesn't actually say anything about duck's alignment it's just poking holes at inconsistencies because that's easy to do. the follow up in 840 just seems to draw out the bit way too far, like town does mildly inconsistent shit like that all the time and i find it hard to believe pavowski has never encountered that before and feels it's worth pressuring like this

i also think 251 is scummy

[davesaz]

Nary a clue what either of those things means.

I'm solving by giving mechanics a chance to happen. If there is a better choice on that half of the list I'm quite willing to listen.

Dave, you are a reasoning person, what do you think of gob's posting?

I didn't actually count and do a ratio, but seems to be about 10% signal 90% noise. That's being generous and counting anything remotely game related.
I think it's lower than typical for gob.

[Brian Skies]

VOTE: Pavowski

[davesaz]

Pavowski I expect you to afk but I expect you to be like at least a little disappointed with the game trajectory if you share my alignment

Esp since you don't seem to think duck is a boring free red flip which I'm tempted to think right now

v/la

Saturday pm and all of Sunday

I don't think I've posted a single thing about the duck aside from noting it's interesting he voted me but was also willing to vote with me.

But I will cop to being a little disengaged

u still haven't explained why this struck u as interesting honestly I think that's just exactly how my mind works

I mean I think saying "yeah I'll vote you because I think you're scum, but I'm also willing to vote the person you're voting" feels at least a little contradictory

Granted it's d1 and reads can change on a dime, but yeah, I found that interesting

so?

this feels like half a thought. what does it tell u about my alignment

Dann's vote and post led me to this.

I think the real kicker is that Pavowski makes 808 about a so-called inconsistency, but that "vote" is just a RVS which says it's a real vote for joke value.

[Firebringer]

i also don't think duck is particularly scummy

don't make me start spamming long page walls on why ur wrong

[Dannflor]

i also don't think duck is particularly scummy

i would honestly love to see it

I agree, this is some suspicious stuff.

I think his response here was alright, but I do have concerns about the latter half of it; I'm thinking that's him trying to backtrack here:

Is anybody solving yet or are we still twiddling our bits?

I just wanna plan my weekend

I'm trying to push forward and get past this unusually long quasi-RVS that we're in.

What do you think of gob's posting?

My impression of gob's posting is that it's a mess

Since post #600 there's exactly one post that has anything to do with the game, which would feel scummier if you couldn't say the same about several other players here

[Dannflor]

duck seems like surface level scummy you know

but i think that's just his natural tone sorry duck

[Firebringer]

i also don't think duck is particularly scummy

don't make me start spamming long page walls on why ur wrong

i would honestly love to see it

I promise it will be torture and i will get banned for spamming the hell out of this game.

If you spam the hell out of it, then it will be sanctified and thus holy.

[Firebringer]

so far my worst scum casing been largely ignored, even by the worst. Which irks me a little, maybe I just don't like being ignored.

So I am definitely comitting some time to being as annnoying as shit tomorrow afternoon to write up dozens upon dozens of posts why yall need to get of ur butts and vote worstie.

Or at least fight me on why he is town here.

[Jake The Wolfie]

I believe I am already voting for Duckland here.

Personally I would rather you spend that energy on other topics, such as what people are townie to you.

[Jake The Wolfie]

Oh, also it's pronounced [dukʰ.lɨnd]

+1

overjustifying joining a popular wagon is already a bit of an eyebrow raiser but the things he's using as justification aren't actually scumtells. I'm not a consistent person, and am very rarely consistent this early in a game. Pav knows me I don't think he's thought through this much.

To boot, despite this being the main thing of substance that his posts have been focused on he hasn't joined the wagon at any point which is another eyebrow raiser

I'd consider pav someone who's p capable of recognising even my tone and stuff and there's just nothing there to make me think he's tried to sort me so far :p there's some other quirks in his posting I can dig out which make me think he's more invested in the arguments he's making than in, like, observing alignment indicative stuff
