Still waiting for Sharky's weigh in. I'm don't imagine having much else to say until then. Glad to see we don't have to wait too long.
Agreed. However, I still advise that all of us reread a good chunk of d2 before jumping the gun. And that means not just waiting for s_b.
Could Nick be repeatedky saying this because he desperately wants us to find any other target than his scumbuddy manda? Just a though, up until this point I've gotten a town vibe from Nick.
I actually noticed that I was giving off this vibe during my most recent post. I don't think that my d3 posting is a good indicator of this as much as my d2 (and maybe even d1) defenses of manda are. During that time, I initially viewed her as someone who thought like me. There was at least one or two occasions that I read a post and was about to comment on it, but manda had beat me to it. We both stated that we were cautious players who only voted with relative confidence.
For that reason, I had a good town vibe from her. However, as the game progressed, I felt like her contributions became shallower and shallower. I was shocked when, at some point in d2, if I remember correctly, Galzria said something along the lines of "I see what manda sees" because some of her commentary had seemed so surface-level.
I empathized with her when she took flak for "lurking" because I was going through the same thing.
Now, I feel that her play has been unhelpful town play, and I have re-iterated this before. I guess my point is, is that I have backed her for a while.
You can read this in two ways:
A) She's my scum-buddy.
B) I, like her, am a cautious player and am very aware of the fact that we are at lylo.
There's no point to all of this, but it's a brief history of my reads on manda throughout the game.
