Broad brushstrokes view of the game:
The SOG wagon was generally a good one. Gets weird and scummy at the end.
The chamber wagon was terrible.
IN particular, I'm not a fan of budja's hop on to the chamber wagon. His unvote also doesn't make much sense: bear with me here, this is consistent. First, he votes chamber for the "not explaining votes" and the "paranoia about bandwagons" thing. Then he tells chamber that he doesn't care about whether this is chamber's meta. Then he unvotes with the explanation "that's one problem solved" after chamber is replaced.
Now, if he cared that it was a meta thing, presumably eh wouldn't vote in the first place, or he would unvote when chamber is replaced - but he's already claimed not to care, so that can't be the explanation. So why the unvote? "that's one problem solved, I guess" implies that now chamber is gone, his actions don't matter- but how does that make any sense? I'm not explaining myself particularly articulately here, but the upshot is that I don't think that is thinking is consistent and I think his vote on chamber looks opportunistic.
(as a sidenote, I would have been extremely angry if you guys had pulled what was essentially a policy lynch on chamber).
zazie is right about just about everything, but some of his lines of enquiry are pretty pointless (like asking green_dude if he really wanted his colour changed - I'm pretty sure he did!) In particular, though, I wanted to try and explain his attack on josh_lyman since I think he hasn't been entirely clear there: Josh's vote is for lurking, which josh explains as a jokevote - but in his post he says that it is only semi-random - which indicates that it can't be entirely random. I don't think this in and of itself is significant, but I do think the amount of time Josh spent debating on this and not talking about other, more important things is scummy.
Also, I hatehatehate the following post:
Josh (with added colour) wrote:I agree. Posting "reminders" to yourself in a public thread seems ..... I don't know, less than Town. Surely you have the means to keep notes to yourself on your own computer, or perhaps a piece of paper, or maybe scrawling in crayons on the wall.... It just seems to be shitting up the thread for no apparent reason.
I really dislike chibosempai's approach to the SOG wagon. Looks like scum who smells blood in the water, but isn't certain it's going to come. Hence the early weak FoS and late vote.
Budja steps in for Josh_Lyman and that, to me, is fairly telling. In my experience, scum are far more likely to step in for each other when the case is weak (which it is) than if they think it's strong: not pointa rguing with the inevitable, but there is ample incentive to try and move lowgrade pressure away from a scumbuddy, since lowgrade can pretty quickly become high grade and then can escalate out of control.
Chibosempai, budja, josh. Also a little bit of pome, nachomamma in the mix for gut reasons I can't really articulate.
