I watched all of Gunbuster Josh.  That was something.  Young Wakamoto might have won me over.

The setting is pretty interesting and some scenes were benefited by good music but I can't say I was completely engaged or anything.

Also the fact Aim for the Ace! inspired Gunbuster and to a further extent Neon Genesis Evangelion is hilarious.  Damn tennis romance dramas causing my third impact.

Huh next year is going to be awesome for me it seems.

Yesterday I read Shingeki no Kyojin is going to get an anime and then today I read Dangan Ronpa is going to get an anime.  I've had a Dangan avatar for like two months now so I think that kind of shows my interest (besides reading the LP the entire year).

Also Shingeki no Kyojin is probably my favorite recent manga.  I told you my posts are relevant to anime

    My laptop I use for school is on the verge of dying, for really stupid reasons.

    • The keyboard is busted, letters don't register or go off without my consent so unless I bring another USB one or use the on-screen keyboard I'm screwed.
    • My security key has apparently vanished so I can't update software or change settings.
  • The connection to my campus wi-fi has been very wonky and wasn't working the last few weeks.

Altogether it really sucks and is effectively useless.

EDIT:
also broken formatting

EDITX2:
And being able to read thread topics apparently, hours later.

Hapah for Prez.
I don't think you're going to get a following Hapah.



ToonyMan:
For clarity, in case it was misunderstood: Leafsnail was scummy, I thought he was scum D1 and said so. After his flip, what with it being very town-like, lack of other kills, and my knowledge of there being death-millers, I now no longer think he was scum after all, regardless of his scummy behaviour D1.
You can't say somebody is scummy and then go back and go "wait no he's scummy but not really actually scum you see", it seems blatantly like lying to me.
Of course you can, because you have additional information: his flip. Say it was a typical day where a townie is mislynched D1. D1 you may have think he was scum and voteworthy. D2, after seeing him flip town, you're perfectly justified to say "he was scummy, but I no longer think he was scum, since, duh, he flipped town". Perfectly kosher, yes?
In this case, Leaf didn't flip town, but his flip is townish enough that, in combination with my knowledge of there being death millers, I feel justified in no longer thinking he was scum, though I certainly thought he was during D1, before his flip.
Hmmm so if my logic is sound:

Before Leaf is dead you think he's scum (this is true) -> then Leaf dies and flips mafia -> you think Leaf is town

This is ignoring the fact:
1. the King of Mafia didn't follow the golden rule of claiming miller D1 (something you even did)
2. you strongly felt Leafsnail should be lynched D2
3. Leaf flipped mafia

I don't see where you're getting this confidence from except that no town died N1 but even that is very weak considering no town died N1 of BYOR10 either.  Nobody answered my BYOR-related question early so I made the attempt of investigating myself.

Your ending here is also redirecting without even addressing my "death-miller" response.
Asking you questions and reminding you of pending ones is not redirecting, it's scummy of you to say it is. Plus I left nothing unanswered. If you mean this:
Pending?  You told me to make a top three scum list and answer other user's questions that I didn't even have time to ignore!  It felt like Tiruin scum chores to me (Tiruin scum chores - telling aggressors to do time consuming tasks in the hope of driving them away).

So you show up mafia on inspects and death?  Great.  We'll get the role-cops to inspect you tonight then!!  Bookthras.
I see no questions there, nor any way to address what is basically a sarcastic reiteration of exactly the same thing I said. If you have questions you'd like me to address, ask them.
Addressing does not equal answering.  I was noting the fact you didn't respond to my actual FoS statement.

Book, why did you choose to wait until the middle of D2 to claim your deathmillership?
I don't know maybe because he's lying and thought something up clever.
Why are you answering for him?
I'm not.  Are you going to explain why my reasoning for Urist Imik was scummy D1 or continue to active-lurk?

Don't forget he claimed regular miller D1.  Why would a PGO claim miller?  If he wanted to drive away cops, that is potentially a townie fake claim, to protect cops from dying on him.
That is true, yes.  But if you assume Bookthras is scum it makes a bit more sense.  Having someone say "Hey, I'll flip non-town on death, but my flip won't have my death-miller ability, so please come and inspect me because it'll totally show up on inspect while I'm alive" gives me weird vibes.  Granted, having the ability causing death-millerness show up on the flip would kind of defeat the purpose, but it was more about the way he said it.
Are you saying Bookthras is scum here?

Dariush for president, if only to block Toaster from getting it, as he seems awfully buddy-buddy with ToonyMan and Jack A T.
SHAKERAG IS BUDDYING WITH DARIUSH

Toony:
I am not very confident how he played off Leafsnail D1 and today he's making an aggressive stance on a Mr. Celt lynch, possibly hoping to grab the nomination and fire away safely
Wait whut. 'Fire away safely'... unto whom?
Mr. Celt!  I shouldn't have used play on words.

Toony, Hapah, and Jack all seem reasonably townie enough so far.  I'd vote for them if a vote for Toaster didn't go anywhere.
Toaster
How did the quoted paragraph influence your vote?
Toaster posted and showed he was here, something that was lacking prior.  My timing with Toaster has been bad lately anyway.

Book, why did you choose to wait until the middle of D2 to claim your deathmillership?
I don't know maybe because he's lying and thought something up clever.

Also nominating Hapah since he's here and Toaster ain't.
ToonyMan: That's all it takes for your vote for king?
I'm looking for two things.  1.  They aren't lighting any of my scumtells and 2. they're active.  You can't really get too picky here or else nothing will get done.

I agree with this. As much I am happy with UI's demise and flip, and as scummy as Leaf was, I don't think he was actually scum.
Wow that's dumb Book.
Which part? For clarity, in case it was misunderstood: Leafsnail was scummy, I thought he was scum D1 and said so. After his flip, what with it being very town-like, lack of other kills, and my knowledge of there being death-millers, I now no longer think he was scum after all, regardless of his scummy behaviour D1. Please point out any dumbness. Also, please give your top three scum picks, with reasons, and answer Jack's questions.
You can't say somebody is scummy and then go back and go "wait no he's scummy but not really actually scum you see", it seems blatantly like lying to me.  Your ending here is also redirecting without even addressing my "death-miller" response.

But I'll answer anyway:
1. Bookthras (acting dumb and saying contrary things, I don't need to say as much since I'm on your case)
2. Dariush (I am not very confident how he played off Leafsnail D1 and today he's making an aggressive stance on a Mr. Celt lynch, possibly hoping to grab the nomination and fire away safely)
3. Tiruin or Tylui (for being incomprehensible; although Zombie Urist hasn't been around enough to say much yet)

Everyone: How would each of you handle being King?  How would you decide who to vote for?  How much influence will the general public likely have over your lynch decision?
I would vote the people in my top three list starting with 1.

Also nominating Hapah since he's here and Toaster ain't.
Why are you nominating Hapah?
Repeat question!!  Also Unvote Hapah

Toony, Hapah, and Jack all seem reasonably townie enough so far.  I'd vote for them if a vote for Toaster didn't go anywhere.
Toaster

FYI I'm in Finals Season so I'm really cripplingly my productivity a lot THANKS GUYS

Does shark-suit always talk like that, or are the translators just trying to stuff the full sentence into the bubble?
She has a speech disorder.  Which makes it even harder to translate.

I really don't like Toony's reasons for voting UI on Day 1.
My bad?

I agree with this. As much I am happy with UI's demise and flip, and as scummy as Leaf was, I don't think he was actually scum.
Wow that's dumb Book.

I think deathmillerness may be part of wuba's running theme this time, not only because of Leaf's flip but also because I am a death-miller myself, in addition to being a normal (inspection) miller. I have an auto ability that says I will show as mafia on inspect and on death, and that auto wouldn't be displayed on my death flip. However, after checking with wuba, that auto would display if I get role-copped before death, so if anyone has role-inspection powers, targeting me would confirm that.
So you show up mafia on inspects and death?  Great.  We'll get the role-cops to inspect you tonight then!!  Bookthras.

Also nominating Hapah since he's here and Toaster ain't.

I'm on volume 5 of Dorohedoro now.  It's...unique.  It's by the assistant mangaka for the Blame! guy if that means anything to you, because it kind of explains the art style.

Otherwise I find the setting and characters much more interesting.  The biggest issue I have is that the translation is pretty mediocre (GWR are usually better than this too, must be an older scanlation) and the narrative is sometimes really hard to follow.

It's totally worth reading though.

Or should I say Where's The Gambling Zero?

This may be shocking but I've also read every chapter of Gamble Fish in English.  I can see why the scanlators dropped it in the latest arc.  It turned from kind of silly game arcs (and fanservice) to

Leaf's flip is weird, because that's a very townie role.
I am suspicious that no town died last night, but I haven't played a BYOR in what feels like forever either.

Isn't it hilarious that the death of King coincides with the institution of democracy?
Yes, it is.

Also yeah, do we vote who we want elected in red?  I wouldn't mind myself, Toaster, or Bookthras.

Ok I have to ask... are some of these screens bad translations?
Because the MLA Total Eclypse seems more like it just added random swearing because the japanese character swore.
(Apperantly swearing is a rather iffy subject in translation especially since they don't have the same meanings or strength)
Because fucking BETA!!!
