its not as easy to do as alt case posting though

I made something to randomly color all the characters in my posts a while back. I planned to use it for a big claim post. Never did. Your best bet is doing something like

r,b,g = rand(0-255)
if sum(r,b,g)<[value you determine is sufficiently high to make it appear colored]
goto r,b,g =

I am pretty ok thunderlynching anyone that's popped in once or twice and done nothing

Off the top of my head, Toyota, McDonalds, UPS

Almost certainly a few more that I just don't remember

Caught up with the thread.

Looks like most of it was about either:

1. IBM and thE sPOnGebOB mEMe
2. Acquisitioner in general, however mostly relating to IBM.

So, thoughts on the Acquisitioner that were probably already said in some way.

Waiting to see the Acq flip at the end of this cycle is a valid strategy, but puts us on the backfoot as it leads to the inevitable cat-and-mouse where we still can't really find who the Acq is now, because we're constantly spending time looking at what the Acq was doing before. I'd much rather be pro-active about such a thing, but I also hate linguistic analysis so I'm gonna hate myself (nothing unusual then)

Oh, and little gimmicks in your font are fun to do, but definitely not the way to avoid being Acquisitioned. Behaviours > Gimmicks.

You know, if we lynch the acquisitioner this day phase, we don't have to worry about them. We should go for that.

Alright, good plan, chief.
Which one of the 20 of us has been playing exactly the same way a townie would be playing, but isn't town?

I'm incredibly busy this weekend, and I'm about to work a 12 hour shift soon. I won't be able to do much until tomorrow.

I don't like the post that Wells Fargo made about lynching inactives when this phase ends tomorrow night.

Going from RVS mentality to "this doesn't interest me as a game" is a kind of disconnect you find in wolves almost exclusively.

What's wolfy punctuation? I also don't like this.

I don't get why IBM cared about the Acquisitioner so much, and I don't think that that's what a town would worry about right now.

I have a strong town read on Verizon for reasons I'm not willing to share, and I'm voting for a wolf. When people get serious (and no, talking about how players are avoiding acquisition through cheese instead of through maintaining a strong presence and being a distinct person instead of "LOL does anyone else I'm a CEO??!!!?!?!" doesn't count.), you'll see more involvement from your friendly neighborhood Amazonian.

Amazon

also when I read this I went "??????????????????????" so this is where I'm leaving my vote now

[McDonalds]

I have nothing else to say right now.

I like the flow of MickeyDs posting, puts out a towny vibe.

I can get more involved if you honeys want me to, but I think there's a better chance for us to solve this if I don't disrupt. But do please let me know if there's any way I can assist, I'd love to make this more... fruitful, for us.

Just seeing if calling you out would make you post, and it did. So you're just checking in and posting when you need to instead of when you can and actually try to help us. So in onto something.

Hello CEOs,

Still coughing up a lung but I'll make do.

It'll be interesting to see the acquisitioner mimic other people's styles. It's probably one of the most difficult roles to play in this game as long as everyone stays true to their posting habits. I don't think it's necessary to sniff him out day 1 because there's a 99% chance he fucks himself in the ass by messing up a single post. As such, there is no reason for any of you to alter your posting styles or habits. So stay in your damn lanes please.

Corporations ragging on IBM's previous posting style worry me. Surely you aren't having trouble reading alternating capital letters? "obfuscat[ing] their posts" had me in stitches, Apple.

Please direct yourself to your nearest free online exam and get checked for dyslexia.
