> [@Episkey](#): > > I feel like I need to elaborate on my quote that started this. I commented to dancecat that she didn’t seem overly excited, and asked if it’s “same old, same old?”. I asked this because she - to my knowledge - had not been able to play a game as town in approx 10 of them. Knowing how much she’s hated playing as scum lately, I figured she’s be extremely excited about being Town if she was one here. I didn’t really notice that, so I asked her what was up. Thanks for the clarification, I do think I misread your comment as being a more significant observation of her behavior than it was. Anyway, I’m now more suspicious of peeker for eagerly jumping on an easy vote, so: **unvote DanceCat** **vote peeker** ---

> [@crackedquads](#): > > Actually I’ve definitely mentioned it. I think it was in the Metal Gear Solid game (maybe even risk) but monkey banana was pushing me as the wolf (we were both villagers) and I made up a big ass post linking every single one of the villager games and ranting that I’ve never been a wolf in pog, ever. I don’t know if I’ve mentioned it outside of that game. > > I do kind of feel that way but obviously have no way of proving that. I don’t even know how the rand actually works. It feels that way to me when people like hifi get “randed” wolf 9 times in a row and I get “randed” villager something like 8 times in a row. Even in the HP game I was first randed a god damned miller, then was able to get subbed back in and was given what was essentially as vanilla of a role there was in HP. Apologies then. I must have missed the point of the “here are all my games” post. ☹ @ 2nd paragraph. ---

I feel like if I bitch about it my roles might get polarized depending on the mods and I don’t want that to happen. Probably shouldn’t have mentioned it here either but oh well. No I understand completely now. It makes sense you wouldn’t mention it over there due to those reasons. ---

I agree with the premise that those pushing people typically easily mislynched for thin reasons is scummy behavior. ---

This is probably an incredibly dumb question, but what’s bleaching? Is it just removing color and formatting from quoted posts? If so, why is this done? ---

> [@peekercpa](#): > > \ > > i wasn’t jumping you for your vote i was jumping you for the back away when you got called on it. **Vote: peekercpa** for being a fakepeek. Giraffe didn’t succumb to my pressure vote. Of course, I doubt he’ll ever react the same way again (last game, he basically agreed with my case against him.) So he gets backburnered. peeker, on the other hand, is mostly comprehensible, and not antagonistic. Makes me go :dubious: ---

I see. We don’t do it because it would presumably slow down the frantic pace of our games. You can’t do this and have 2500 posts on d1 (yes, this actually happened). ---

You can’t do this and have 2500 posts on d1 (yes, this actually happened). i think the most we ever had on a single Day has been in the neigborhood of 1500. and remember that is over 5 rl days. ---

> [@Dancecat](#): > > Only to be posted _after_ the game, right? 😉 haha can’t win I suppose. How about it I take a picture with it and todays paper with the weather channel on in the background showing the date and time?! Real game talk: Peeker being voted for NOT being antagonistic doesn’t make sense to me. Especially after just mentioning he gets mislynched for weird little things so much. I’d like to know more about Peeker from some of the SD people.
