prodding Umlaut and Ausuka.

[Radical Rat]

Alright, air conditioner should be getting fixed tomorrow, which should restore computer access and I'll be able to do the homework.

Though also this is the third time they've "fixed" it, so. If it doesn't work this time I'll just do it from mobile anyway, but won't be able to properly pick out quotes and such.

Either way though, it's getting done tomorrow night, and I'm willing to be held to that

[Umlaut]

ugh, will post later tonight, behind on work stuff rn

I could vote Merlyn, as pointed out my argument that she's town based on what Sheep is doing is pretty shaky, but will also do the pair-analysis thing first.

[Ausuka]

Wow datisi is lax on everyone else but for me he has the prod timer ready on hours, minutes and seconds

[Doctor Drew]

Wow datisi is lax on everyone else but for me he has the prod timer ready on hours, minutes and seconds

They always pay more attention to scum

I may just be drunk enough tonight to do this damn thing.

[Ausuka]

Datisi will always pay more attention to me cos he's my bestie

[Ausuka]

Drew why did your read on me change

I know you said something about my reads list? I'd that elaboratable

[Bingle]

Wow datisi is lax on everyone else but for me he has the prod timer ready on hours, minutes and seconds

The key is to make your prod dodges like four lines long so they don't bother reading it and thus don't realize there's no game content there.

I absolutely have never done this. I would not, could not, with a bear.

[Bingle]

I may just be drunk enough tonight to do this damn thing.

Party Hands?

[Invisibility]

VOTE: Merlyn I like this vote more

[Doctor Drew]

Drew why did your read on me change

Long story shot, the more I soaked you in the more reasonable you seemed. I wasn't getting a scum mentality from you even though we were disagreeing on certain things.

IE, Bingle and Osuka

Umlaut Pairs:

Likely. The approaches to the me wagon here are complimentary af, but they never actually agree with the reasons the other gives to townread me. I could easily see this as a team that didn't want me gone in the case that I was scum, and I don't think either Rat or Umlaut is confident in their ability to pick out my scumgame in a lineup. 471 is like a textbook buddy read. "Hey, person is v town, but look at how I'm not townreading them b/c I'm PaRAnoID" is a very safe tack to take if you know the person you're potentially alienating by withholding the townread is gonna have your back. It also helps to build a "Player is town" feeling that doesn't necessarily trace back to you easily. And then they're back to talking around wagons. The E-2 on Umlaut in 1350 is hesitance and I should probably look deeper into whether that was a legitimate risk or a reasonable bus, but I'm already starting to burn out. I do see that it stopped fairly quickly.
Addendum: It's bizarre how well these two seem to be coordinating when paired with the sheer number of times they've complained about how they usually work better together. It kinda feels fake.

Hot take, I kinda like this as a scumship. Umlaut and Cook were a little awkward. Umlaut outright admitting he wanted to vote Cook and townreading Rat has all the same weird vibes for this pair. Could easily see that as not wanting to interact with an objectively scummy partner as much as I can see it as an attempt to incept the townread. Cook not weighing in on the almost defense isn't damning, but it's definitely not a good look. 407 is massive scumpoints for the team as well, given that not only does the "They ain't done shit" argument apply more to Cook than Ausuka, but it was literally a couple posts after an empty "I ain't done shit" post by Cook. Umlaut making a bunch of noise right after Cook doesn't do anything is also NAGL (TM). Voting Cook right before the replace out (Literally after the prod but before the replace.) is not really a danger when there are other distractions. Umlaut did push the sheep, but not very hard. I don't really get the vibe that he honestly wants to engage in the sheep tipping, and even though sheep was the second biggest wagon I don't think he was in a lot of danger. Also, sheep just kinda... Ignored it? Despite it being the definition of a shitpush? While defending himself from Rat? Eh. That interaction is just weird. 1123 is definite "I'M NOT A SHEP PARDNER" vibes, and paired with Umlaut trying to trigger partner analysis I think he as scum would think that he looks unpartnered with his partner, which in turn makes me think this is a fine option for an Umlaut partner. Their interactions today also seem p theatery.

And... I'm gonna preemptively

VOTE: Umlaut

cause I'm legitimately not getting through this at this rate, and I at least want to be voting my individually strongest scum read.

[Radical Rat]

Air conditioner does seem to have been successfully fixed, so by tonight my room should have cooled enough for me to use my computer and do the homework!

[Bingle]

Do the thing. Do the thing.

[Firebringer]

haven't gotten to doing a new partner check.
I kind of want to just vote meryln though.

I think drew is possible scum with some people but to me he is being a bit more aggro on somethings than i expect scum him to make so i go probably not.

I guess he could have been buddying bingle earlier. Will process this later got to get to work shit

[Datisi]

prodding Merlyn and sheepsaysmeep.

[Umlaut]

Prodge again blah

My head is too far out of this game and getting it back in is going to be work. I hate doing work.

VOTE: Merlyn to make it "not a prodge"

[Firebringer]

fuck it im going off character here and going to do this:
VOTE: DoctorDrew

i think RR is town and maybe i should listen to him for once.

[Firebringer]

they/them
