It is a generous interpretation of why the game is quiet
idk something about this jarek/hippo interaction just screams. bad. and not just because i disagree with many of the takes. going backwards:
I donāt particularly find carbon to be particularly energetic from what I recall so iām taking jarekās description here & ālets go get emāā is in my experience not super AI people say it sometimes, sometimes they donāt. Iām not going to touch that being āvery casualā to jarek
?? no. first of all. oh no weāre doomed if we live until d4 which is. F-4 assuming standard kp (which this admittedly isnāt quite sticking to so far), Ash being the far-and-away lead makes him a good target for doctors & thus a plausible doc dodge. And also itās a very plausible progression to go from the hyperactive d1 to a de-motivated d2/d3. zzz. try again.
(this is in response to the jarek post i donāt like)
and then hippo suggests two townies (me & wazza), in particular childe for⦠doing childe things.
sorry i was saying the latter point that leafia is going to be questioned ādays laterā (again thereās not that many days. halfway rule is not a predictable factor to work around even when it is) for not dying to anti-claim that is almost certainly not boundless killpower especially when thereās a degree of plausible deniability to any not-hard claim made 20 posts into the game. thatās the exceedingly bad point.
like sure i get game is not very active and that sucks. maybe donāt vote because āthat gives us most infoā because. well first of all I think people always ought to specify what sort of info. But also youāre removing a good chunk of readability on your vote here! Even if youāre a big vote-pilled vca fan āah well hippo voted v!carbonated because it had the most infoā is not readable (obviously a wolf flip looks better upon you but even if carbon is exactly rand thatās not a lot of expected info!
also wild pivot like if you take the typical info-vote principle of āvoting out townies with very few posts does not advance the gameā (which Iām not a big fan of but) then why go for childe here?? It doesnāt seem like you actually think childeās that much likelier of a hit here
(wait which fangan)
really donāt like this vote in the context of #202 from carbon being pretty decent (at least FMPOV, part of it is that she names an issue i had with your slot in being too jumpy)
@Hippopablompoyeetus letās talk about this 
(Iāll try to gather my own thoughts on chomps beforehand but)
I can say pretty confidently Ash wasnāt attacked last night fwiw.
itās really hard to gather my own thoughts on chomps especially in comparison to most recent beatings game, but I do tend to think his recent single-minded focus on carbon is a rather bad look, it⦠has a malicious aura to it (ftr this does mean iām somewhat retracting my agreement with carbon on the chomps switching too much even though i still think it was a towny thought).
Like the cheap way of phrasing chomps is "he makes no effort to actively explain why carbon is mafia nor to re-evaluate carbon, as we see in thread, in particular this fallback looks bad
& i think the lack of desire to engage goes beyond beatings into my recollection of other chomps!v meta
(also not quoting for the sake of length but the āitās a game/itās not like iām going out of my way to hard push you and make noiseā sequence is really bad (especially when it ignores what carbon is saying which is that it feels especially bad to have a seemingly thoughtless vote being the reason you die.
I am sympathetic to chompsās opening being towny but like. be so for real.
ftr I donāt like (both the assumption that everyone at EoD was town) and also Jarekās general over-insistence on his own being town it leaves a bad taste in my mouth especially when heās really not doing anything further to help besides complaining. Not too interested on pulling this thread more rn but wanted to tie things up for rn w/rt jarek
generally agree with soweli and iām happy to have someone else posting in thread
nya

who do you think is mafia
soweli gets a fruit (number) tonight nya
who do you think is mafia
i have bad thoughts about chomps, maaaybe ash? leafia iām iffy on but sheās within her townrange imo. iād like to see how she responds to pressure but i wonāt start it
oh interesting. you (& ash) were the main reasons i ended up sorting leafia into pretty confident town.
The ash drop off is somewhat notable yeah.
What do you think about carbonated rn btw? Iām guessing that might get me a better read on your slot
has a malicious aura to it
Iām malicious aura farming
ftr I think Ash is still town just for his earlier solving being pretty towny & showing more genuine curiosity than a wolf would have imo.
but on carbon itās just gut telling me itās a wolf, I think hippo is town and I am sheeping him on other reads, carbon and leafia are my wolf reads and I am focusing on one
having no thoughts on luka is the correct opinion & that concludes my backreading i think
ok.
why do you think hippo is towny here?
who would be your contender for a wolf if either carbon/leafia flipped town
