This makes me sus of DDL even more.
novaselinenever I understand your case against JJJ but I press x to doubt that he's buddies with Ultra. The latter made his case and vote against JJJ and it's not like Ultra was in any danger of being lynched at that time for a distance attempt to make sense here, so what Ultra's fake case on JJJ is not coming off as a bus or distance imo. Also, I'm strong scum reading Owner and she also made her wishy washy case against JJJ, who again Ultra used for his fake case, so I definitely see more of a pairing between two buddies going against one townie there.

The goal of the game is to vote out mafia. I can't do that by myself. I can't lynch someone by being a one-off. Civilians have to band together to get shit done. I view you and DDL as civilians, so I voted nova. Then I looked at his posts and I was satisfied with where my vote was.Owner of a Lonely Heart wrote: ↑Tue Apr 30, 2019 2:11 pmFoS Epignosis, why you have go use those emojis?![]()
I'm not sure if I even like your vote on nova, even though it looks like you kind of explain it in the post that I'm partially quoting from.
Your vote at the time seemed bandwagony or opportunistic.
Your reason at the time went like "2/3 of my town reads are voting nova so I'm gonna vote there too".
Epignosis has too much faith or trust in myself and DDL. Or it feels like it is too early to have that kind of trust between myself and someone who I haven't really played with. I'm not sure if like that.
I think some of Epignosis carefree posts were meant to pocket me. (not sure though)

That has never stopped people from forming read, let alone gut ones. If what he claims is true and Jay knows him well, he should also know Jay well and that flinging poo early on alongside sticking people with an alignment based on first impression is his bread and butter. I think I talked about Soneji's entrance sometime earlier.
The whole no lynch thing is hilarious, and I'm more intrigued by DDL jumping on Speed than the latter making that claim. I took it as him messing around, 'cause I don't believe for a second that he's serious about it.
I can't say I'm a fan of you calling out the vote on DDL, nor throwing around fancy words like "chainsaw defense". Feels like over-compensating![]()
If DDL were bad here, and there's a guy in the thread pushing a Day 1 no-lynch (even when it's obvious he's not doing that), why go to bat? Stay in the dugout.
Also fuck these ball players today.![]()
nova has asked a lot of questions but has not meaningfully followed up on them. Here's an example. There are thirty-four question marks in nova's posting history, and he has forty-two posts. I know some of those question marks belong to other people, but damn. He doesn't go anywhere with any of them.
Holy shit bananas, there are even questions without question marks.
And so little follow through.
This is devoid of both punctuation and clarity.![]()
Maybe he meant it to be a question.![]()
I'm comfortable with my nova vote. My hope is that he gets lynched, is revealed to be mafia, and will henceforth and forever be monitoring his question mark usage.![]()
I didn't mean it to be a question. I was referring to your Jay stuff when you were asked about your stance on him. "Always bad until convinced otherwise", then turning it into "I don't give civilian reads like candy bla bla bla" is whack. You don't have to give him a civilian read, but at least you could share what his posts were making you feel at the time. You were avoiding giving a stance on him![]()

It's innocent. Owner went out of the way to challenge Mac on something even though 1) Mac was not talking about their alignments (as he clarified) and 2) it could get Mac talking about Owner.

Here's a prompt:Gemma wrote: ↑Mon Apr 29, 2019 9:28 pm his reads so far are kind of rigid and one-dimensional-ish which is a little concerning but i'm still getting a sense of his process and given the level he seems to be playing at i think things like his mood and approach to me might be more alignment indicative, so he mostly just ends up at null. if you think there is anything he's done that is very alignment indicative for him i would love to hear it
I'd like to know what your present read is on Epignosis.
