Sorceror 17er Game Thread

tbh i think benneh has been pocketing me the last hour or so and i kind of want them to speak more of their own thoughts individually instead of just being my cheerleader because it's irking me out

have been considering sitting on that because i think he's a villager but weh. kinda keeps rebounding in my head

Vote:hollowkatt

I'm probably super dumb, but I don't see how hollowkatt re:ender comes to the conclusions that he did.

please tell me why hk is scum

I wake!

And do not think I have time to fully catch up by eod (It's like 50m right?) so I'm gonna try part living until EOD with limited skimming catch up.

That's kinda what I figured, that's why I've been so lackadaisical.

yeah

tbh i've been spaced out enough that until now i couldn't remember if you were the last wolf or not i thought not but didn't remember it was vandy until this second

i don't have a super clear picture of your play and it feels like it's improved enough since then that i don't think any meta analysis i'd try to bring to it would be especially valuable

i think there are specific posts that made me think this, but i've liked the nuance and oomph of your longer-form posts that i've read, and it doesn't feel like you're particularly agenda-driven

idk i could say the word organic if i wanted to be derivative of myself

I have a weird impression that this is walking back on something Csargo said already.

I'll have to double check but I had the impression that they backed off their strong read on the HK/Me interaction.

i reread rask and still think hes vaguely ok but wouldnt protest strongly if thats where people ended up voting

have you given a full reads list yet?

my issue is that

and this may be a factor of the playerlist composition

everyone feels super homogeneous in a way that's distinct from like thinking everyone's super towny or whatever

just there aren't. lines

there aren't divides which aren't necessarily that helpful but once you stack enough of them on top of each other people start popping out

there's like some of it in the org-specific group kiinda but even then it's. very non-discrete in a way that doesn't make me uncomfortable because i don't think we're like way off track necessarily but it's puzzling

duly noted

no lol

for context i've been super busy and super tired and using this game to distract myself in a melancholy sort of way

and it is an interesting game and i am enjoying it but

my brain is not at its best

which has shaped my approach a fair bit (less meaty engagement, eyes glazing over at most long posts, questions because i can learn a lot about a specific thing i want to know but not actually have to exist in thread a ton)

might have actually been helpful because my thoughts are more swirly and when they settle they're more liable to settle poorly esp when i'm in this sort of headspace

Talk to me about why? I don't feel he's done anything that sticks out to me as super scummy.

Can you expand on that? I was under the impression you were leaning on ladd's townread of HK and I'm kind of missing the evolution of like, how you got here.

This vote kinda feels like it's a "where can I park my vote safely" vote than a "I think this guy is gonna flip w" vote.

OK I prolly need to read some Cuth to understand that 180 lol

i don't think like anyone would be that thrilled with things being teased apart that way but it was definitely much more strongly the vibe of someone who had thought about and believed in somewhat contradictory and odd perspectives and was upset at someone poking them than someone who'd just come up with takes whole cloth and then got defensive as a show

idk if it's a super clear distinction for anyone else but i believe moderately strongly in this + i think they've been a prime slot to push for wolves if v basically the entire day and indeed people have been pushing them kinda constantly and i think in ways that don't really make sense in terms of reading ender specifically

in particular i have somewhat cold feet wrt ladd and his direction today but idk

If you're so convinced I'm town, why do you seem so unimpressed by my case?

Caveat that I've skimmed very vaguely so if I missed something I apologise, but it feels like you've slapped this great big townread on me but have also completely ignored my actual push and has put a weak af townread on Newcomb

zack telling us he's leaving for the rest of the evening

massive scumtell
