I feel like there was something else I wanted to ask you, but I can't think of it right now.

FFA weirded me out going silent at the end of the day but ultimately ended up moving his vote and I feel better about him today. I would like to hear his own thoughts on that and why he ended up following DBP on Haku though, when DBP was his vote up until that point, so thank you for reminding me to ask. @FFA can you talk about your EOD silence and where your head was at in the moment?


DBP basically played 3-4 hours of d0 fmpov. While he's known to do that now (and in the last game I played with him) or whatever, that wasn't always the case and isn't the DBP I'm used to from prior. Irrespective of that, what caught my eye at the time was that he disappeared for like the full hour leading up to EoD after his initial readup, and when he came back he told WV to keep thinking (even though he had been gone gone). So his contribution to EoD was quoting the neopets ban thing at :01, but was still willing to get on another TWG 101 highhorse to WV when he himself wasn't around most of the phase.

I don't think that portion is all that indicative of DBP's alignment, but it's frustrating because it feels like this "show up at EoD and solve" meta that's developed is harmful and that the "detective backpack" alter ego has gotten to his head tbh.

I also remember there was some contrast between lewdy's comments on "popeye" DBP vs the other inactives at the time, but idk how much stock I'd put in a dead wolf's posts. I'm just largely unimpressed by his D0 and want to see more of his thoughts on more players before I'm comfortable in being able to place where he's coming from
