    Jari, can you explain the "apparent intent to solve" bit?

    I disagree that Mal came in solving. He came in serious and wanting to do things, but that's not what solving is. To be fair, there wasn't much to solve. But let's not get lazy with our terminology.

    Also disagree that fonti has a meta expectation to come in solving. It's been at least a year or so since fonti's been like, expected to carry games by herself. She's shown a more lowkey demeanor as both alignments.

    I’ll begin catching up in like ~3.5 hours when I get home from work.

    If there’s anything/anybody that anyone wants me to look at in particular with fresh eyes as I read from the beginning, @ me and let me know.

    Fair on the terminology, but like I'm thinking Princess where she came out swinging and didn't stop all game. Is that unusual for her now?

    It was for the benefit of people who'd get the reference and think it was funny.

    Which is apparently only Vaimes, /grumble.

    Yes but your tunnels are more fun and you are going to be my rock this game so I would rather do things with you.

    I hate how DLP removes quotes.

    Um, it looks like busywork? Ish? Like, he's doing things that look town on a surface level but that don't really do anything or go anywhere. I don't understand why he singles out Jan there in particular or what that question is doing. I'd say it feels weirdly self-conscious but I've kind of stopped using that as a tell.

    I don't like the "you should be playing in this way and if you're not you're scummy" line since I think it's an easy way to shade someone and make yourself seem town without actually doing anything, especially with him not actually doing anything after that.

    Saying he's not going to do X then doing X right afterwards is eh but the reasoning behind that isn't very good so I probably wouldn't read into it very much.

    I don't know anything about the lump stuff so I can't really comment on that.

    Gemma I think that's good analysis and I'm liking you so far but, knowing thug, I think "yeah that sounds ~normal"

    Hm. Would I be wrong if I said that you are kind of worried about randing wolf against me, like generally?

    Ok, so first, we have Mal explaining his intention to be more transparent about his thoughts, produce his own content, and cut down on questions. I had provided an assessment of good and bad lump candidates with reasoning that strongly differed from Mal's, btw, but he didn't react to it.

    Then, he feels like dC's lump stuff is inconsistent, so he asks dC to explain it while .... explaining what his problems with dC's potential answer might be? Ok.
    Then he sees that dC ninja'd him and discussed lump already:
    And instead of analyzing any part of that, or explaining his original thought process, he asks for Jan's analysis. Ok.

    Jan gives his thoughts, and Mal responds by ... not responding at all.
    He moves on to poking Tom, asks him to come up with a subject, and states that he can't think about anything to talk about even though he was /just/ interested in something with dC and Jan.

    I also don't get why he thinks important to avoid the discussion about him, but could see that as a town!Mal thing.
    Tom responds, albeit pretty uselessly, and mal doesn't push for more or ask about anything specific but rather says:
    Which means nothing. "Hey Newcomb, why are you trying to make sure everyone's on the same page, is it for someone specific?" What. This being tinyhunt has nothing to do with it, because explaining the mechanical plan for tonight doesn't out role information in anyway.

    There almost a too scummy to be scum element here, because surely scum!Mal would remember to follow up on at least one of the things he's asked about instead of complaining about the lack of topic ideas? But, it seems like this consistent pattern of him doing superficially good looking things, and then never diving into them or getting anything out of them. The questions themselves are more prodding and busy work than actual attempts to solve.

    Yeah.

    Vote: Mal

    Correct that would be wrong.
    Why would I be worried?
