37. OMG CJ THINKS NOCMEN IS TOWN @ 159 WAT. PLOT MOLASSES!
38. CJ please teach me why Nocmen is town because WTF he is scum. Also do not vote Lobster for voting scum that is cruel.
39. HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM Amrun doesn't like Lobster for being her wagonfriend. This is not very natural IMO.
40. Ace is a philosopher stargazer (163).
ZeL: Why is Stevie posting good?
Ace: ALLOW ME TO TELL A STORY ABOUT THE SCUM: BLAHBLAHBLAH. Also, voting people is to make them move like puppets rather than to lynch scumz IMHO.
41. I could see Stevie-Amrun with Stevie bussing possibly (@ 171). His suspicion for her earlier was like 95% drawn from the aether. (Sorry @ my girlfriend; is not yr fault.)
EDIT: Except that whining about people voting with you is a real scumtell SOOO yeah.
AMRUN CHANGE YOUR WINCON BACK.
42. I guess that answers my question about the rest of the hydra...gosh...Ludi's in all the fancy hydras these days...
43. I bet I know who GreyICE is going to claim. ^^~
2ND CRUM BTW
44. I am happy that my predecessor finally posted and didn't say anything stupid. <3 THANK YOU
ALT
PERSON FROM 2008.
45. OK I confess to basically not reading Nocmen's 177. Please make posts that are not so impossible to read THANKS.
I AM AWARE THAT I AM MAKING THIS MONSTROSITY.
46. OK, so I read said post and it is basically questions that I doubt he will follow up on and characterizations like "flailin." I mean it's directed at Stevie and still doesn't do much for me.
NOCMEN IF YOU ARE TOWN AND STEVIE IS SCUM WITH AMRUN PLEASE BECOME MORE TOWN.
47. Kast discredits Ace for "forcing Kast out of his comfort zone" without any reasoning. This rubs me the wrong way because I could totally see this as scumKast-in-comfort-zone.
I am interpreting TOO MUCH scum->scum violence this game. Somethin's gotta give.
48. SX is LERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRKAN and I think he was doing it actively but I am not very good at maths (@ 181).
49. Lobster made me lolirl @ 184.
50. Stevie is lord of scum in 186. The LINGERING fake focus on Amrun, etc. just seems totally insincere. I'd vote for him if I didn't sneak a peak and see that he's at like L-2 already or something.
51. Is Lobster's "just like physics" simile is an intentional allusion to Ace's silly post from earlier? I will assume it is and giggle again (@ 188).
Also, is that a Zhen Ji avatar?
52. Pome says that her scummy post was meant to be scummy...? I guess (190)? Am misremembering?
53. Ah, nevermind. Vollkan clarifies the above in 192. It's about Amrun's attitude toward that post.
54. Starbuck totally ignores what's going on and votes Stevie (195). Scummy? Time will tell!
55. Something happened to SX in 202! PLOT THICKNESS.
56. SX's 219 seems...I mean, it wouldn't make sense for scum to just be able to redirect whole lynches...unless he's thinking it's linked SPECIFICALLY to Stevie.
57. OK, Amrun's townread on Stevie is now weirder than weird @223. Stronger than I would've expected.
58.

This makes no sense in two halves.
59. Amrun's #227 is the opposite of sensible. Again, it's HOW DARE SOMEONE WAGON WITH ME.
60. I've gotta at least admire Ace for sticking to his guns in 231 re: VOTES ARE TOOLS.
61. Actually agree with Pome's 240.
62. Lobster being suspicious of Amrun makes sense to me given circumstances, BUT I am surprised at the specific reasons.
63. I echo Lobster's 255.
64. Oh man. Kast's 266 is so pretty and nicely-organized that it almost makes all my bad feelings go away.
65. OMG TAJO <3 BE MINE <3 I NEED A NEW LOVER S/P AMRUN PERHAPS BEING SCUM.
66. I agree with tajo's first few pages 100%. Not sure why he votes a non-player like drew when there are so many high-profile weirdos amuck. Whatever.
I think those reads still make sense on page 5, so that part's OK, too.
67. Kast's post "alleviating doubts" for Amrun (274) can only be viewed with suspicion when she is basically his own town read (i.e. one of few).
68. Nocmen does not understand why Kast is scummy (275). Jury is out on what this means.
On reflection, I notice that Kast doesn't actually have GreyICE down as scummy in his summary post. So that's a point in his favor re: the thing I thought I noticed earlier.
69. SX describes an angel attack in 283, probably based on that halo-y one that attacks Asuka near the end of the series. At least one faction is probably the Angels. I would not be surprised if SEELE were another faction. I'm really interested to see how Kaworu is used. /spec that I can't hold back any longer.
It's a little weird that the effects of the "intrusion" are unknown...
70.

Given something I spotted earlier in the thread, however, I'm pretty sure that Nocmen instead fits firmly into the second category, especially since that second possibility is also a very good explanation for another thing that Nocmen has done this game (and a bit of mod meta negates the most obvious objection to that possible explanation) - and that second category is very, very firmly town.
This made me lol. Also: I'll take your word for it for now....
