and provided she can get people to gather around (scummy hey monkey) she can probably get it done too
don't be surprised if i get NK'd tonite D:
fixing some little things I see nowvotes- let me know if I made a mistake or missed one somewhere
I also suspect Alexem is scum and is hiding a vote on Rynam.
Hey @NeckToChicken, how are you feeling about Alexem these days?Grizzly rubbed me the wrong way by coming at me after the event, but never placing a vote on me.
Alexem later did the same thing, which I addressed in my response to him. Still no vote. Which is odd because it’s the exact same goad Grizzly used later and got lynched for.
There’s a possibility I’m just blinded by resentment? I did kinda touchdown dance when the punishments got handed out.
nopeBlarg is scum?
still did better than menope
Going to talk about this belowI've forgotten who suggested it but I reckon looking for people who only came in to talk about the no-lynch, particularly if they did it after that discussion had fizzled out. Which means I just can't get zippedpinhead out of my head. Natiko also pointed out that he's not had a whole lot of engagement outside of talking about the events either. I'm more willing to overlook that given that these events are interesting and exciting and its probably fair enough to talk about them if you're having trouble getting a handle on day 1.
However coming in just to push on the no lynch discussion as it was winding down seems weird to me, particularly since there wasn't a shortage of things to talk about. Just skimming the previous 50 or so posts (from his first post on the no-lynch) has Terra continuing to make waves, Stan adding some more explanation for his defence of monkey and Splinter coming in with some early reads. Heck, the game literally started with a soft claim in the first post, so why did you decide to limit yourself to just talking about the no lynch @Zippedpinhead ?
I've not finished going back over the early stages of the game yet, so I might come back with a couple more people to ask this question of.
Small bit of defense of Rynam. Nothing too crazy, but it did jump out at me.The only other person I'm seeing that fits my criteria is BladeSymphony, however right now I'm thinking that its more down to him trying to find his feet than a decision to not engage with other topics. If I do come back to him later I'll have to decide if calling for Blarg and pointing out Coolest's first post and empressdonna's "flying solo" remark are him treading water and being rescued by the event and Grizzly's vote, or if he was pointing at random things to make it look like he participated. I'm more inclined to believe the former, also even if I was suspicious of BladeSymphony seeing as he is a new player I'd like to give him the benefit of the doubt for a couple of days while he grounds himself and gets used to things.
I may have missed someone as I'm getting fairly tired and searching for the phrase "No Lynch" isn't very helpful given how much it was used in the discussion around Stuart444. I'll be around a bit longer as I want to have at least another person I'm interested in before I head off. While I agree with Stuart in that Rynam dipping in for the event and then immediately ducking out is more than a little shady, I'm also giving him the benefit of the doubt here in that I don't want to hold it against him if something came up that stopped him from playing. Also I reckon that with the activity of today there must be a few more people out there who're already worthy of suspicion, so I'll look over the recent arguments and then the votes in the thunderdome and see if anyone jumps out to me.
I'm a fan of Natiko's breakdown of a bunch of votes from the thunderdome (#1069) and zubz being particularly weird there does strike a chord with me. Although I'm just too tired right now to look into him now and I saw something from zippedpinhead that makes me confident enough that I don't need to. More on that in a bit.
People who came in during the early game (I'm putting that at the time before the first event) but only engaged with the No Lynch discussion and nothing else.
In response to Natiko's big post on zippedpinhead (#1038) we get this:
and a clarification of his point about Geno:
So other than the barebones readlist everything there comes out of the first of today's events. I know I said fair enough if someone struggling to get a hold on the day's events latches onto the events, but zippedpinhead doesn't seem to be struggling to me. Also, perhaps I misunderstood, but isn't your hard on for Verelios one of the things Natiko was referring to when he said "what are your thoughts on this game outside of the few listed above?". So why is it that two of your four lines here (lets be real in that the BladeSymphony line is actually more about Verelios) are still talking about that?
At this point I'm cool with dropping this here:
VOTE: zippedpinhead
I'll be around for another 5-10 mins but probably no longer than that.
I'm disappointed in Stuart and anyone else just straight up believing zipped with little to no thought. The dude has been straight up matrix dodging everything leveled at him instead of actually trying to defend himself. Take a quick trip back and look if you want to see him straw-manning fools instead of actually addressing anything.
I'm out, I trust there'll be some more exiting fun times for me to read over when I'm back.
So if you weren't dodging me then surely you wouldn't mind acknowledging this in some way?
The standard play here would be to lynch Verelios right? Even so, that isn't going to stop me from taking a shot at zipped in the last ITA phase if I feel like he's still just blowing me off.
Would scum trade a raw BP for a town role cop?
Anything, anything at all. I just wanted you to say something about the suspicions on you yesterday since it might've helped me decide if I want to shoot at you or not. But fair enough if you're resigned to catching a NK tonight.
So here you'll see a series of posts that make up a pretty big tunnel on JubJub's part. Generally this big of a tunnel I tend to town read, mainly because I feel like scum will at least try and switch it up now and then. He does put in some effort on a few of these posts and seem to genuinely be trying to make an argument for why Zipped is scum. Good feels.With the time for ITAs closing in I think I'm just gonna go for it and take a shot at Zipped. Last chance for anyone to come in and say that it'd be stupid for me to do so and that I should heed Blarg's wisdom. Or not, it is only a 15% chance after all.
So this is where things take a bit of a turn.. while he did post this after the flip, based on the wording it sounds like it was typed prior to it. He's essentially saying "I haven't seen Vere's flip yet, but I already think based on it I won't be shooting Zipped". Considering how deep his tunnel was, it seems odd to me that he would backpedal so fast and supposedly before even knowing the result of Vere's flip.Yeah between the npc and the fact that we'll get Verelios' flip soon I don't think I'll be taking that shot after all
Y'know I was gonna take the whatever shot at Nomad, but Geno has been weird and Include is pretty cool so:
Uchuu Senkan YAAAMAATO: Geno
Next we have another eyebrow raise. JubJub out of nowhere decides to shoot at Geno without any real justification. You know who else shot at Geno just a few posts before this? Include. JubJub even goes on to discuss how he doesn't have a fully realized opinion of Geno. Yikes.Geno being outraged at completely reasonable suspicions being tossed his way is a pretty good fit with what got me thinking Zipped was scummy, its as good a place as any to move my vote to. Time to get stuck in and sort out a fully realised opinion of him.
Gasp, JubJub found a reason to scum read the person he apparently already thought was worth killing. He doesn't build as strong of a case here as he tried on Zipped. Bad feelings.The biggest thing in Geno's defence is his push for Verelios right? Apologies if there is something glaring that I've missed; it is well gone 6AM here after all. About an hour before Zipped came in with the role cop stuff Geno actually cooled off on Verelios and wasn't actively pushing him anymore:
He does come back around onto Verelios again of course (#2735). However when your primary defence against accusations of scumminess has a big caveat like this attached to it, you should expect people to start questioning your intentions there.
Which, coupled with the arguments already laid out against him, leaves me feeling fine with dropping my vote on Geno;
VOTE: Geno
About the only relevant post today. Waffles around, comes to the general conclusion that it could be any which way. Generally null, but not an impressive post.The murkier things around the red check get, the more tempting it is to leave Include alive. Although I think the play here is to lynch or kill Include later in the day; even if she is town surely there are still scum players able to roleblock her, rendering confirmation unlikely. Include and Natiko are in similar spaces in my head in terms of reads, but Natiko's version requires less of a leap so I'm inclined to side with Natiko anyway. Of course that leads into the possibility that BladeSymphony has caused the situation and both Include and Natiko are telling the truth. I wouldn't be keen to go down that particular line without some more info coming to light first as it is rather insane and quite a stretch.
Do I need to go back and look for Grizzly's vote on me or can I just assume it's a tradition at this point?
Never change.
Vote: melonrabbit
What's the current topic of discussion? Zipped and Vere both being role cops?
Also I keep scrolling but can't find anything about this Thunderdome?
I see Vere died. Who killed him?
Hmm... okay, that event was a shitshow, but after it, I'm leaning towards two options.
Vere seems to have thrown that event and made a lot of losers out of the players in it. I'm still not grasping all of the implications from that event, but I'll get back to it.
I'd be more interested in pursuing one of the players that lurked and hopped into the event out of the blue. It's a little rich coming from someone like me, who's also a low-poster, but it'd be an odd coincidence to suddenly just have an event come up the first time you check the thread :D
Vote: Rynam
... I'm hoping I did the vote right. I kept fucking it up in sneakers mafia ><
Vote: Splinter
I like melon more so far due to higher activity ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Truth be told, I'm not really feeling a strong reason to go for either. Good job Thanos for not making it easy on us.
Lot of y’all still have your vote on Include and she’s gone. Surely you have another read.
Waffles on Vere, null overall.Mm, so I'm at the end of today's play and can't say that I have a great deal to go on. I have a gut feeling that Stuart's OK so far from the earlier discussion, but it's no more than instinctive. As for Vere... I don't know - would scum try something so overt in an event that's likely to draw so much scrutiny? D1's the ideal time for them to lie low and be forgettable, I'd have thought. Still, that's veering into WIFOM territory, so I'd rather not overthink it.
Hopefully there should be a bit more to go on tomorrow, although being D1, I'm not exactly holding my breath for any massive giveaways at this juncture. G'night, folks.
Someone's running Bartertown on D1? Madness, sheer madness. Can't say that I'm sold on the prospect of either candidate, in all honesty, so I'll hold off my vote for the moment. If I had to vote this very second, though, I'd probably lean a little more towards Splinter, but that's purely based on Melon's activity so far. It's not something I have much conviction for.
@Geno - I appreciate your point about lynching for more information on D1, but this event isn't the be-all and end-all for today. If the consensus is that neither of the candidates are worth lynching at this point, we still have the normal lynch for the rest of the day. Personally, I wouldn't say that a no lynch is quite such a bad idea in this situation.
It's a bit interesting to me that Alexem didn't want to commit to no lynch until it gained traction from other players. It's a small thing, but I wanted to point it out.Given that the option's getting more traction, I'm going for
VOTE: No lynch
My gut feeling is that this is either a trap, a total stab in the dark, or someone's been forced to initiate a D1 thunderdome on pain of modkill. None of those are good enough reason for me to vote for Melon or Splinter at this point.
Lists Ry and Neck, we'll come back to this.I'm inclined to look at one of the players who was in the event yesterday but has otherwise been quiet. It seems like convenient busy work - something that gets you noticed, but able to drift back into the background afterwards. Like Terraforce, Rynam and NeckToChicken are the ones who are really sticking out for me. I'll accept time zones could be at play, though, so I'll allow some time for them to have their say before I commit to a vote.
Joke looks bad after Grizzly's flip, but not sure scum make this joke unless they're comfortable.We can start to worry about Grizzly if he survives N2 this time.
Landing on Ry over Neck is a good look, but Ry was already getting some traction so it's not huge town points.I've been mulling over my options on the way home, and I think I'm going to have to go on my gut feeling on this one.
VOTE: Rynam
It could well be time zones, but popping up, taking part in an event and vanishing again doesn't sit well with me. If it hadn't been for that, I doubt he'd have stood out to me at all - it just seems enough to make it looks like he's doing something to cover coasting.
I could well be wrong on this, but I seldom get more than a mass of null reads on D1, so I just have to go with what I can.
Scum that are bussing probably won't be so lackadaisical. Keep in mind this was all scum up for contention as well.You're probably right. The trouble is, I can't really make out that much amongst the noise of so many players. Rynam may be a shit lynch, but it's a vote that I can tie a small shred of logic to. It's not much, but it's the best I've got for today.
I really don't get on with last minute bandwagons like this. I'm not out to change anyone's mind - if people want to go with Grizzly, so be it - but I always find myself dubious of the motivations for them.
This bit does feel a little iffy, again though it was all scum in contention. If scum knows they're fucked would they feel the need for hand wringing? Some townie vibes.I'm turning in for the night now. Still not feeling the push for Grizzly at this point, but I get the feeling that debating the first flip in this game is a moot point - whoever goes today, I wouldn't be surprised if the other leading candidates end up in the crosshairs for the early ITAs.
Assuming nothing happens between now and then, I'll see you crazy kids for D2.
Overall I like the tone of this post, but of everything in his post history the last line here probably sticks out to me as the worst bit. Alexem spent the end of D1 talking about how he felt the Grizzly lynch was iffy and he was suspect of those on it...only to turn around and go "wow, how dare anyone do something that could influence the lynch away from Grizzly". Just feels a bit disingenuous.Morning, folks. I see we've got through quite a bit this morning already, but then I suppose with so many flips, that's only natural. For what it's worth, Grizzly did come as a genuine surprise to me - reading towards the end of the day I could have seen him being neutral as claimed, but it's clear that I missed the red flags. (Told you I'm dreadful at D1.). With regards to my concern around the end-of-day voting for Grizzly, it think it's the speed at which it gathered pace compared to the rate of discussion of him earlier in the day. Also, the initial catalyst for the train seemed to involve around meta based on Monopoly, and I freely admit that I'm somewhat sceptical of using meta as motivation for a push against someone - just a personal take of mine in general.
That, to tell the truth, was a crap meta joke about Grizzly never seeming to make it past N2. While I may not be one for using meta for reads, I wasn't above using it for a duff joke. Probably not the best idea in retrospect.
To tell the truth, I was very close to calling your bluff on this one - I bottled it in the end and stuck with Rynam as he'd been my gut read initially and It thought it would be better to follow it.
I took some time to go over Grizzly and the interactions with him in D1 yesterday. From that, I'd say that I'm my town-read of Stuart has improved from the interest in his lynch. Again, it's a gut feeling - I understand there's the possibility of a bussing attempt, but I still feel uncomfortable with assuming that's happened 'because they did that in Monopoly'. That was Monopoly, this isn't - I still think that by itself is a little tenuous as a reason for suspicion.
I'm feeling a little better about Rynam and NeckToChicken now than before. I'd still like to hear a little more from them - especially Rynam - but I can see them being set up by mafia as easy targets. Again, I can't rule out the possibility of a bus, but I get the feeling that they were more of an easy target.
What I didn't care much for was Kawl's false gladiator claim. Coming as it did after voting for Grizzly had started, I can't see any reason for it other than as an attempt to split the Grizzly vote. Given that we now know how Grizzly flipped, I don't like the implications for that maneuvre at all.
Doubles down on the above.Mind if I put that to the test?
BluffCalled:Kawl
Good point - I never considered the possibility that scum might use a dome for a bus.
This gives me good feelings as well. The progression from hearing the idea, taking some time, and then responding with his take feels genuine.The only circumstances in which I can see them doing that would be if either they have more JOATS - which I suppose isn't impossible, given that a fifty player game would need a large scum team who can do a lot of damage - of if they know that they could somehow bring back Splinter or ris role (s). Both seem very overpowered though, even for a game like this, so although it's an interesting idea on Zeke's part, I don't think it really stands up.
NAI currently. If we ever verify what caused their deaths, it could be favorable for Alexem that he brought this up unprovoked.Hold on a minute - sorry to bring up mechanics, but did anyone else notice this?
Nin was killed but Kyan died. Could they have been eliminated by different means?
Maybe it means Ezekel wasn't as lucky as we thought? DUN-DUN-DUN... Though why would he bus a JOAT? Mm, dunno.
Good vibes here, steering things back towards a conflict we now know had scum on it. Doesn't take the easy path of trying to veer the discussion to Ynnek.I can see the motivations for an Ynnek lynch that people have and wouldn't be opposed to it, but I still think we need to get somewhere with Vere and Zipped first - I can see it going on and choking up more time in D3 if we don't get some answers today. I'd like to wait and see what the rest of the day - particularly the last ITA window - brings before deciding on votes, though, just in case we get any more information.
Again, still feels bad compared to what he was saying at actual D1 end. Same for the below.I'm inclined to agree. I still don't like the timing of his fake gladiator claim - after going back over D1, it looked to me like an attempt to split the Grizzly vote. I also found the thinly veiled threat about not ITAing him dubious - which, as I mentioned before, is exactly why I used my shot on him.
VOTE: Kawl
Let's say - and this is all hypothetical, mind - that a number of players who were thinking of voting for Grizzly saw Kawl's play as a scum move and voted for him instead. That would reduce the total vote count on Grizzly. If there were to be enough traction on a town player at that point, then scum could have assisted with a train for them instead of one of their own, with Grizzly and Kawl's vote counts being low enough to overtake.
I'll concede that there's a fair amount of assuming in this idea, but I still don't like how Kawl acted then.
I like that he's pushing and not just accepting the slow drip feed of "info". On a side note - I wonder what might shake out if we look at who all was around during the stand off between Include and I and if any of them avoided the topic directly, stalled, etc. I don't recall off the top of my head but could be worth a look.Given the amount of suspicion that's welling up, I don't think that this is the time to be cagey. If you can give a provable red check against Natiko and two provable green checks against yourself, I'd say it's now or never. If there's a chance of avoiding a mis-lynch, I think we need to know exactly what's going on here.
Remind me, Ezekiel - when did Splinter actually get the boot? Was it in the thunderstone or in an ITA?
The main thing here is that it's odd to me he admits Ezekel and Melon both look bad from this theory, but he doesn't really direct much of it towards Melon.I think you know exactly what I meant by my question. No matter, allow me to put it more bluntly.
Throughout the game, you've been pushing Melon as scum for that thunderdome. You've alleged that she was willing to bus Splinter for town credibility. A big mitigating factor that people had against your idea was that bussing a JOAT wasn't a likely tactic. Now, though, we know that scum had two JOATs. What's more, you have acknowledged, through the medium of Morgan Freeman, that Splinter wouldn't have been a bad candidate for a bus if scum knew they had another. So, would you not say that shooting Splinter in that first ITA could look just as much of a move to gain credibility as Melon putting him at risk in the thunderdome - perhaps even more so by virtue of actually getting the kill?
Right now, I think the two of you look as bad as each other.
actually i hadn't even considered how the mafia role blocking would play into this, and actually it just makes it even harder for me to trust include considering she could have thought the exact same thing if she is lying to us.
See im not saying we continuously draw this out.
Include has said she can be confirmed by the next day phase right?
so we see if that happens, if it does, great, kill Nat.
If it doesnt, darn, kill one of em anyway, same decision as we have today.
This way we have at least a chance at any kind of clear choice.
Tho again, with Zekes point about the roleblocks likely fucking up the chance of any verification this is probably a moot point unless include thinks it wouldnt matter.
I sure would like to be able to guess that for myself but apparently its way to important everyone!
Includes insistence that her role is just so incredibly important she cant tell everyone even if it kills her.
Im finding it incredibly irritating.
Y'know if it was anyone saying exactly what Include is saying i'd already have a vote on em, but damn it its honing in on the exact facet of how iv seen Include act as town in previous games thats giving me such pause.
The resolutely obstinate 'fuck you im right' attitude, just disregarding what literally anyone else says because include knows best.
seen it a bunch before and got the receiving end full blast of it in HvV, its frustrating as hell but i cant really buy that include is faking it this well.
well hopefully itll be solved in the coming minutes.
Its 4 fucking AM but hey the ITAs start like now and i really dont wanna miss these like last days so I GUESS IM GONNA STAY BE UP YAY FUCKING ME.
i think im at the point where im about to start becoming increasingly vulgar.
i just want you all to know that i do not apologise for this.
Include spent a crazy amount of effort to paint Geno as scum yesterday. #3409 #3455
This whole going at each other does not seem construed to me (yeah, yeah you never know)
In the first post she also included Sawneeks and Kawl. She refers to a D1 post about Saw too.
Here she is #3528 Townreading Ezekel, monkey and melon.
This is another longer interaction between Saw and Include #3593. I don't want to underestimate these two, but I don't think they would've argued all this time when they are in the same team.
Yet this is Saw's read afterwards:
Ambivalent.
---
Stuart, Geno, Sawneeks, Kawl
Ezekel, Monkey, Melon
Out of these reads I'd argue there is at least on partner of her either in Geno/Saw or Monkey/Melon. I'm leaning Saw over Geno and Melon over Monkey. Because of the length of arguments I'd suspect her townreads to be more likely to be partners.
Missed it again.

I'll see what I can do. I have about 2.5 hours free until I need to get some sleep, so if I end up not getting everyone then my bad. I'll bump those two up sooner rather than later since they were requested.Natiko, I think those are all good choices. I’d add Brazil and Stan when you have time.
Yeah, yeah mom.Lot of y’all still have your vote on Include and she’s gone. Surely you have another read.
I have positive feelings on Stan as it sits, but I'll do my read of him and see the result. If I were to guess we have 4-5 scum left but I've only ever designed two games so my pinpoint on that probably isn't the most accurate.@Natiko Any reason to think that NZJubDub and Stan aren't scumming together or not?

These all feel like town Stan. Benefit of the doubt, working through things, being snarky as hell while also being trusting. I can also wonder if he’s feeling disconnected a bit due to the size of the game making him feel more time distanced than usual. But that should make him more likely to float a vote, not less. Doubtful we are hitting maj after all.
What I don’t like is that Stan didn’t give an alternative. He wanted to wait on the Nat/Include situation. Cool. That isn’t something I’m going to autoscumread. But there’s nothing else really. No vote down. No other case. That bothers me. I can’t get a read on him. Maybe if we don’t see another major situation before EOD, we can get some regular reads/thoughts from him.
I dunno, Fandorin. As suspicious as people have been of the shots, I would actually be surprised if it was more than one. Certainly not more than two. The team has to be shrinking and no ones getting cred. If she had lived to the third ITA? Yeah, absolutely.
Not impossible, certainly. But I’m right now very curious about the people sitting on shots.
Thing is, after the red check on Include, scum can waste their shots on the bus and leave the dirty and shadier shots for the townies instead, creating more of a mess if another townie gets killed. For example, if scum!Muffin got that first shot in, we'd have a lot of shots still in the game and no clear direction to shot. Considering scum is getting their ass kicked, it's probably advantageous for them for town to blind shot at this point. Of course, if they shot at Include it's better to miss, but it's ok if they hit it too since either way they can now get behind the "well I shot at scum that one time" excuse.I dunno, Fandorin.

Although I agree that the players not using their shots is the bigger issue, yeah. As a replacement it's the fact that we even have those is pretty hard to understand... I dying to try it out!
Yeah, he has just enough iffy moments to make you nervous, but not enough to take away from his general approach and progression feeling townie in my opinion.Natiko: I've been back and forth on Alexem and that's why I asked (I think I asked? Did I dream it? Thread too big) Sneeks to weigh in since we leveraged poor Alexem on purpose in Cluedo. I think some of those odd moments might just be his style. I'm pleased to see someone else point out some of his odder moments (like waiting for the No Lynch to gain traction, like he's more concerned with optics than action) and come out of it near where I am. It makes me feel a little better about not fully going one way or another on him. I think he's one that time will tell on.
Ynnek partially confirmed. Lux has a claim out.I'd look into ynnek or Lux more indepth If I could
Green checked.
Ynnek partially confirmed. Lux has a claim out.
Green checked.
What?
Ynnek is partially confirmed for what?
He was Stuart's partner. Stuart pick a target to investigate and Ynnek would get the results that night without knowing who was targeted or who Stuart was.What?
Ynnek is partially confirmed for what?
Ynnek and Stuart combined greenchecked Kawl.
Stuart was a secret admirer and checks people but the results were sent to Ynnek. Stuart's flip tells us the first part is true, we can speculate ynnek is likely town given they didn't have to saw all the admiser/heartthrob business.
and they helped red check Include which brought all that on.
must be a new record on how early this is happening.
no i mean the vote on monkey, like every game she gets suspected for some form of excessively active play.
oh yeah sure, next time ill just let yall make the same mistake iv seen so many times before.
The towniest play.
An interesting start to the game from Stan. I don't know if it's particularly alignment indicative for him though.because if its just you defending yourself then its the exact same history i was talking about happening again, where people suspect you for over-activity, you thoroughly defend yourself, and they then suspect you for defending yourself to much, i hope the a more impartial voice can cut of this stupid argument before i see it happen for the 5th time.
this isnt much of a defense of you, you could very well still be scum, just suspecting you for excessive participation has proven itself a terrible idea so many times now that i dont want town to do it again.
but yeah god forbid i try to talk town out of its stupid ideas.
This feels like the play I expect from Stan. Brisk, gets to the point, and generally is always a bit behind on what is happening. I'm not sure I've ever played with a scum Stan to know any different though to be fair.Alright then. Caught up on this thread but havnt read the event.
Firstly.
AYYYY MAGIC BUDDAYYYYY! \o/
Ahem.
Secondly. Here are the points i can remember from the rushed catching up.
Firstly on Stu aparently acting to eager to pleaseish, just reads to me like stus general petsonaluty coming through rather than any attempt to garner townie points.
Grizzly is giving me iffy vibes but that could just be that i really dont like his :thinking: heavy style of non-arguement. Will need to look closer on this when i got the time.
Havnt read the event but in this thread verelios' justification feel like genuine panickyness.
Coming from that Kyans pushing and skepticisim toward vere feels possibly excessive? Like of he expects someone who claims to have been panicking to have a perfectly straightforward account of his choices while panicking. That just aint how panicking works.
But alternately he could just have been presuring vere unreasonably on purpose to see how he squirmed, which is always a neat way to figure people out. Again i think i would want a more thouroug read before a conclusion.
Thats all i got off the top of my head. Laters.
And what even i
And what even is this?
'I dont feel one way or the other, so let me very specifically lean one particular way."
ADMIT YOUR BLOODLUST OR STAND FIRM IN YOUR PARTISANSHIP.
INCONSISTANCY ONLY BEINGS SHAME UPON YOURSELF AND CONFUSION TO ALL WHO WOULD SEEK TO JUSDGE YOU
This bit feels off. He did a large about face just because..the vote he was on was losing? I wouldn't expect Stan to just jump into runaway vote for no real reason.*sigh*
fiiiiiiiiine, ill go along with your little compasions and patience's and not rushing to murder someone for little to no reason's
VOTE: No Lynch
Actually thiking about that more i have to wonder about the wisdom of trying to wrangle this herd of cats into any kind of focused direction, It seems like it would give many an easy out of having to justify or hell even really consider where thier ITA is aimed.
it would be a bigger miss to sort out in the immediate aftermath but i think having players action be their own could be a lot more fruitful later down the line,
at least for my style of reading people at least.
More good posts, makes valid points, but it technically doesn't really say anything regarding the game if that makes sense. It's more like general mafia strategy.like if there are targets that many agree we should shoot, then i image many people will shoot them regardless right?
Obvious targets shouldn't really need organizing if they are indeed obvious targets, and if they arnt obvious then people wouldnt agree to said organising
but really i just want to be able to hold people accountable to their actions.
i find it hilarious that kawl is acting all indignant about people's reaction to a confusing gambit even he seems to think was pointless .
oh it was nothing personal, just you only showed up when i was tanked and i was passed out for the rest of that day phase.
if you can point me toward these arguments or tldr them i would very much like to hear them.
(fake edit: and i now see you have done just that, magical)
So i dont think im following the Vere lynch idea all that well?
like Zipped role copped Vere and got the exact same role back that he has, that makes enough sense, but im not following how this makes him into much of a lynch target.
im guessing i just glossed past it in the perpetual catch-up that is this game, could anyone point me to where it was more completely laid out, or maybe sum it up or something?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So earlier somebody was referencing me in regards to somebody else proposing a Nomad lynch, i assume referring to how much i pushed for his lynch in my last game only for him to turn out town.
i would like to state right here that i am still totally down for lynching nomad right now.
I dont think he is scum, but damn do i want him to not be alive anymore.
Oh and thats not to say i think he is town either, i just dont care much, hes just a source of annoyance either way.
first of all, quote posts, dont screen shot them.
secondly, if you do have to screen shot them dont cut off who posted it or when it happened, like damn man that just makes me mistrust you on instinct.
thirdly, and actually importantly, I think melon is town, and from both a pure game logic angle and a player behavior angle Melon being town and causing the TD herself makes by FAR the most sense to me.
i can appreciate the effort you are putting into this but you dont have nearly the ammunition you seem to think you have, and your obsessive insistence on this tunnel only makes me doubt your view of the whole deal more and more.
The above posts though are all really strong. He is prodding, focusing on issues he's seeing, and actively trying to determine the intention behind various actions. As a whole they probably give me the best impression of Stan out of everything.So, i may have slept through day end.....again.
heres a few thing from yesterday.
Firstly, i didnt try to spin this in a "screen shoting = scum", im taking it in an "its annoying, inconvenient, and when you cut out information it becomes very difficult to trust you" direction.
And for the "game logic" part i should have explained better, i didnt mean game mechanics, like roles and balancing and all that shit (i dont even bother with that kind of thing in regular games) but by a general "would scum do this?" kinda thing, whereas by player behavior i meant more specifically "would melon/splinter do this"
Anyway to actually answer your question i do find it a little odd. but dont really have much to read from it.
Considering you were wrong about me in those two games i think this is more your improvement than mine, so congrats to yourself, especially since i think im performing much worse this time round.
(This is quoting monkey but its really point for everyone)
I dont think that thinking in the usual Day 1, Day 2, terms is really going to work in this game.
Like you said this when we had had like 10 deaths and 3 scum flips, expecting scum, or really anyone, to still act like its only a regular day 2 is never going to work.
Includes burst of righteous in-your-face obstinance makes me definitely think she might in-fact be town,
at least that was the indicator last time when i was on the receiving end of it.
thats actually more of a IA JOAT but sure.
considering all your hype building i was expecting much more gratifying proof of townieness, a verifiable thing is fun but not the fireworks you promised.
Put me in the group very much wanting more deatils on your role and prior actions.
So, im catching up and posting this in between overwatch matches so please correct me if i have missed something,
My fear here is that Include is indeed scum, knows that her goose is cooked and has figured that with a bogus switch claim she may be able to at least take a townie down with her.
Given that a few already seem to be buying it so immediately and agreeing we should kill Nat first without any other confirmation, well it just seems rushed, like i want more detail to see if includes claims can hold up to scrutiny.
The IA JOAT was just a joke about the whole sentence of your breadcrumb spelling that out,
...i thought it was funny.
As for the hype thing, i mean you went all "ohh just wait, your gonna feel so stupid" only to come out with an explanation that we just have to trust you on. like you say that you can be verified but it will have to wait, and cant give any details on this verification, even under potential threat of death.
And the logic of treating a power as more important that your actual life, and thereby the ability to use said power, is completely lost on me.
Your response to being red checked has amounted to little more than "no im really town trust me everyone, and lynch this other guy instead".
Im inclined to believe you because i was town reading you before and so far so far nothing about your response to all this has felt out of character, but damn if the caginess isn't making this really difficult.
Actually, this is probably never going to work, but we could just like, lynch niether of them?
For now i mean, just today.
We wait till Include has actually given us anything at all to make her trustworthy, and THEN lynch Nat?
And if nothing comes up next day phase we just lynch include, and not kill Nat just because the red-cheecked player told us too?
i mean, were in a pretty good place, got plenty of other targets to go for.
Includes insistence that her role is just so incredibly important she cant tell everyone even if it kills her.
Im finding it incredibly irritating.
literally in no way have i said im sure about this idea, i even started the proposition like this:
i just think its a course of action that should at least be properly considered, and if iv had to push it more than i really care for it its because yall are so damn ready to dismiss it immediately because yall some blood thirsty motherfuckers.
you really like to try and twist whatever you can into some kinda underhanded insinuation dontcha?
please never mention this in my presence ever again.
*shudders*
and i was even a 1-shot!
My oh my melon if you keep this up i may start to get the wrong impression here.
:fire: :fire: :fire: :fire: :fire:
of course it can talk, it just doesnt have anything to say.
Y'know if it was anyone saying exactly what Include is saying i'd already have a vote on em, but damn it its honing in on the exact facet of how iv seen Include act as town in previous games thats giving me such pause.
The resolutely obstinate 'fuck you im right' attitude, just disregarding what literally anyone else says because include knows best.
seen it a bunch before and got the receiving end full blast of it in HvV, its frustrating as hell but i cant really buy that include is faking it this well.
well hopefully itll be solved in the coming minutes.
Its 4 fucking AM but hey the ITAs start like now and i really dont wanna miss these like last days so I GUESS IM GONNA STAY BE UP YAY FUCKING ME.
i think im at the point where im about to start becoming increasingly vulgar.
i just want you all to know that i do not apologise for this.
This string of posts is kind of all over the place. He believes Include, doesn't believe, wants to leave it alone, sort of believes, then shoots at her. The punt idea is concerning, but when cushioned around how much he prods at her claim and generally is skeptical it doesn't ring as big of a concern as it would have by itself. I don't know though. If scum hinged their entire plan on trying to prove Include's innocence the next night I could see them floating the idea just as a test when the tide started going against them.I SWEAR TO FUCKING CHRIST IF YOU MADE ME STAY UP TO 4 FOOKIN AM TO POST THIS FUCKING SHOT AND I MISS SOMEBODY IS GONNA CATCH THESE STANS, SOME REALLY FUCKING STANIMOSITY, I AINT FUCKING ROUND HERE FULL ON STANTICHRIST MOTHERFUCKERS, TAKE SOME REAL GODSTAN NECROSTANCY TO SAVE YOU, LEAVE YOU TO THE WILD STANIMALS, CALL ME STANIBAL FUCKING LECTER CUZ I WILL EAT YOU: INCLUDE
For now, I'm returning to my LP vote. We need to get rid of the dead weight.
Vote: Lone_prodigy
@Nomad Sparkster What inspired your sudden zeal for trying to figure out what's going on in the game?
Keep in mind this doesn't clear Natiko.
Is this a weird subtle hint saying that you made that NPC?
Skimmed the ITA and haven't caught up yet but RIP Stuart ;;
And gonna make a note to myself that Include can fake her Town game really damn well...
Of course we get an event when I'm still catching up. I want to try it out but I don't want to disadvantage anyone with my limited game knowledge right now.
wait, STAN hasnb't voted since the Thunderdome? Really??
These all feel like town Stan. Benefit of the doubt, working through things, being snarky as hell while also being trusting. I can also wonder if he’s feeling disconnected a bit due to the size of the game making him feel more time distanced than usual. But that should make him more likely to float a vote, not less. Doubtful we are hitting maj after all.
What I don’t like is that Stan didn’t give an alternative. He wanted to wait on the Nat/Include situation. Cool. That isn’t something I’m going to autoscumread. But there’s nothing else really. No vote down. No other case. That bothers me. I can’t get a read on him. Maybe if we don’t see another major situation before EOD, we can get some regular reads/thoughts from him.
Vote: Include
Mentee!
So happy to finally be playing a game together :'D
WIFOM friendly banter due to their previous mentorship. Still, had to at least grab it due to Include.I'm at such a loss with this amount of players. I like Bear going after Stu but have nothing to contribute to that. Terraforce's antagonism is tempting to look into but that's just how he is 100% of the time too.
This game's not gonna be a great one for me. Too many people.
Include, are you scum? You have to tell me if you're scum.
Zipped speculating about balance gives me town!Zipped vibes.
(Still not even close to caught up, don't @ me)
MISS: Verelios
A bit interesting in that as he was trying to look back to catch up on the game he still very quickly found a reason to lean in Zipped's favor, and then when it was clear everyone was unloading on Vere he joined in too. Once Vere survives the first round of volleys he doubles back to be a little more coy.Alright.
I have a hard time picturing you wanting to go 1 for 1 with a townie!Verelios as scum.
But at the same time, claiming to get a confusing result for your check is a great set up to a “Can you blame me for acting that way?” type of defense if Verelios flips town.
Hmmm
I'm very wary of Monkey. I'd describe her as a protagonist who is never at the right place when it actually matters. Like how in the lead-up to Verelios getting killed she distanced herself from the Zipped x Verelios conflict by saying things like "It feels like it'll get sorted out without me", and then took a shot at Trigger right at the start of the second ITA wave.
Natiko seems strangely subdued, and I think looking at Verelios' activity during that messy-ass D1 event to justify their new vote is weak.
I actually do believe that he messed up because he was confused, yeah. I had to read the rules like 4 times to understand the event, and scum couldn't have coordinated anything because of the event's rules.
My only real interaction with Brazil this game. I got a good impression from it, albeit just a small one. He discusses the vote and reasoning, sees my viewpoint but ultimately doesn't agree. Scum probably push it harder at that point in most cases if they feel they have the start to a thread they can tug at.I see. Ok, that makes sense. What I'd taken from your original argument was that he'd entered the event with a plan in mind.
You being more worried about the way people perceive Geno than about surviving is 50% noble, 50% fucking weird.
Brazil making valid points on the boost, ones I tend to agree with as the boost up is a bigger jump than the nerf down. His discussion on why he chose faircure is a bit odd out of context, but in the context of an event that you should be trying to win makes sense.I chose faircure as the leader. I originally thought of choosing Saw, but I didn't know if I'd be at a disadvantage if people knew who I'd picked, so I went for the choice that wasn't 100% obvious.
I don't know. Giving someone 0% chance on ITAs seems like such a shot in the dark with this many players. Considering the amount of townie kills they made on D1, it seems like it'd just be easier to outright kill someone they'd want silenced.
With the 100% boost, they have room to maneuver. The 0% nerf, on the other hand, could end up wasted on someone who didn't even show up during the ITA phases.
I think they definitely used the 100% boost. Maybe they didn't take the shot in the end, but I definitely think a scum was boosted.
Probably NAI since he subbed in late.We had a miller, so it's entirely possible that scum has a godfather.
There's no reason for us to make scum's job easier when we can "prove things" by simply taking out Include. Chill out you two.
During the Include fake claim he remains level headed, but he doesn't really dive in too far as to why or push on Include much. Slight townie vibes.I switched myself with someone! It was with eram
... It’s Natiko!
This is a lie. The way she withheld information throughout multiple posts for no reason, too, is a clear sign of someone who hadn’t prepared all of her material and needed some time.
Include would’ve used a power like that either against Geno or Saw, the two players she was fixated on yesterday. Natiko as a target came from absolutely nowhere. I’d be flabbergasted if it was true.
MOODSWING?
Seriously, Trying to take this large unwieldy game seriously and I keep blanking on important situations that have happened?
Just not used to this side of my love. Was curious what you would say when asked directly.Also I literally want to be more active and NOT LYNCHED for being inactive
Up next, Stan
An interesting start to the game from Stan. I don't know if it's particularly alignment indicative for him though.
This feels like the play I expect from Stan. Brisk, gets to the point, and generally is always a bit behind on what is happening. I'm not sure I've ever played with a scum Stan to know any different though to be fair.
This bit feels off. He did a large about face just because..the vote he was on was losing? I wouldn't expect Stan to just jump into runaway vote for no real reason.
More good posts, makes valid points, but it technically doesn't really say anything regarding the game if that makes sense. It's more like general mafia strategy.
The above posts though are all really strong. He is prodding, focusing on issues he's seeing, and actively trying to determine the intention behind various actions. As a whole they probably give me the best impression of Stan out of everything.

Overall, meh. I had a much more positive impression of Stan in my head than I did actually going back through the posts. Honestly a bit null. I really expected to come out town reading him based on my memory, but some of the hedging and posts that look helpful but really are filler.. yeah, meh. Null.
<3333333Just not used to this side of my love. Was curious what you would say when asked directly.
Hey everyone! I'm sorry I haven't been very active at all the past few days. Will do my best to catch up over the last few pages to see what's up.
I'm actually surprised I haven't been lynched due to low activity :/
I was seriously considering shooting you in the last ITA phase of today. Please give me a reason not to.Hey everyone! I'm sorry I haven't been very active at all the past few days. Will do my best to catch up over the last few pages to see what's up.

I have absolutely no idea who to vote
50 players D1 is nuts
Not a great start, but it's early so not entirely uncommon.It's not exactly easy to decide on somebody to vote with so many people, for me at least
VOTE: Rynam
Really the only one I can see any malicious intent behind with that entry right at event time. I don't see the Verelios case.
That looks almost as bad, but I don't see any efforts in that direction from other people, and NecktoChicken at least posted lately. Rynam showed up for the event and bailed again.
Somebody being afk right now or not has nothing to do with how "lazy" that lynch is.
You can make an argument that it doesn't give much information.
Pushes Rynam early and over Neck as well. Pushing scum early is good, but with three scum being in contention D1 it's a little more null.Making opinions of other players isn't really possible D1 with 50 people, at least not thoroughly. Whether a superficial opinion of one poster or a lynch because of a singular bad action like Rynam did is easier is up to anyone.
I'd be down for this tbh. Lynching third party who leaves if we lynch somebody else seems wasted.
Roles have nothing to do with powers in this game.
That's why him saying that he needs to get a player and not a role lynched also makes his claim more believable.
This string of posts is concerning, primarily for trying to see if there's any footing to delay Grizzly's death. On the other hand by the time Muffin is toying with the idea that wagon has already ran away, and Grizzly's bonus utility as a godfather is blown. Not a great look, but not horrible.A neutral who needs to NK somebody specific can still miss and accidentally kill town. Crimsons logic checks out there.
With that, Stuart doesn't seem like a good lynch.
VOTE: Grizzly
Shutting down conversation isn't really ideal. I think there is a point to be made here, just could have been approached better.I think mulling over why Grizzly did what he did is pointless.
The people who died last night are way more interesting to look at that, their interactions so far I mean.
You flatter me.
Also you and Monkey being on the same person right now is setting off Cluedo alarm bells for me
No not really. Just gives me an eerie feeling especially after monkey said you were sounding too harsh earlier just to join the vote.
Not a fan of how quick he backs down to avoid confrontation either. Meek and wishy washy, bad vibes.It's 5am and I made a snappy remark jeez monkey, I didnt say anything about townreading anybody
unvote
I'll let Kawl be for now. This Zipped/Vere situation is way more interesting.
Konohagakure Hiden Taijutsu Ōgi: Sennen Goroshi: Kawl
With these reactions I kinda want to see Vere flip now
This string is probably the worst impression I got of Muffin during the whole iso. He says he'll let Kawl be as Zipped/Vere should be decided, then once ITA opens up shoots at Kawl anyways. Only once Vere has been shot at like a thousand times and lived does Muffin acknowledge a Vere flip would be good to see, but suddenly takes that after the flip and pushes it like a great read he made. Like he just really wants some of those townie points to rub off on him.Oh so we resolved the Vere situation. My read of him during the second ITA phase was accurate, nice. Good job town.
Back to my earlier lynch then.
VOTE: Kawl
Begrudgingly drops the Kawl vote. NAI I suppose, town can be bitter they're wrong too.Likelihood of Kawl being scum just dropped further with that event. Meh. Do not like to let people who fuck around and lie for fun on D1 alive, but it is what it is.
unvote
Problem is, I have no idea who to lynch now.
Also Nomad, what the hell is that vote right now. Geno has been on basically every dead scum member so far. Well not all, but most.
Well, with Ynnek basically backing up your claim, I think we should shoot or lynch Include today then. With so many casualties, I don't see scum doing this kind of gambit.
As Ynnek said the admirer could be scum, but I don't see scum coming out in the thread like that to basically back up town.
I think Include is lying of the two. That claim sounds like I'd set up a fake claim. Easy explanation for why you're not scum (the switch) and as Joat still leaving some room for other abilities for later, in case she gets caught doing something else by a town role or needs to claim fake additional abilities for some reason.
Gonna need to hear @Natiko and his reaction to this claim, but if we lynch the two, I'd go for Include first probably.
There is no reason for us to wait till tomorrow. Hell, there's not really much reason for you to be mad about doing a 1:1 for scum.
And Natikos claim sounds more honest to me than yours.
This would be the best series of posts as he isn't toying with the idea of waiting and pushes for information to try and get a better read on the situation. He even calls out Include very early in the claim as well.I believe Natiko over Include.
HAKAI: Include
I like how you're framing me saying that I find people who could have benefited from a 100% ITA boost in my earlier list as "having no scum reads".
As for your question, I don't particular like the push Ezekel made against you earlier before we got into this whole situation between you and Include.
And Faircure is suspiciously quiet while showing up for ITAs to go with the crowd.
The question before I posted my reads list earlier was specifically mentioning "who do you find suspicious" if i remember correctly, so yes, you can equate that with an anti-town read in my case.
I read the emotion as genuine, but that could be the case regardless of alignment due to the misunderstanding. His reads feel a bit out of nowhere in some cases - they weren't items he had really pushed on previously which I find odd.Also Gorlak harping on melon earlier about the specifics of his role seemed weird to me. Not enough for an actual scumread though.
Anyway, best I'm gonna do tonight is divide into read chunks. If I missed anyone, I'm sorry. I'll add some notes tomorrow.
Town:
Ezekel
Kawl
zipped
Townlean:
Ferg/rac
DCPat
Natiko
Geno
Ynnek
melon
Sawneeks
LuxCommander
Poltergust (but like, use your ITA shots, man)
Xbro/Fando
Lot of y’all still have your vote on Include and she’s gone. Surely you have another read.
oh fuck i missed half of the responses anyway.
eh whatever they were mostly shitposts.
Yoshi is one of my Smash mains ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I main Yoshi, too!Yoshi is one of my Smash mains ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
ugh, fine.i'm just gonna let the crab people kill you
think i was just agreeing with this, its been discussed plenty by now tho so not much to add.Keep in mind this doesn't clear Natiko.
My remark about the NPC was in no way any kind of hint or breadcrumb to it. Just that i think it could be used to speak if the owner wanted it too, but i cant see why they ever would.Is this a weird subtle hint saying that you made that NPC?
Was just going to agree with you about Include being good at imitating her town self, and that this is pretty much why i was so on the fence about her claims.Skimmed the ITA and haven't caught up yet but RIP Stuart ;;
And gonna make a note to myself that Include can fake her Town game really damn well...
I main Yoshi, too!
...But Luigi's my favorite Nintendo character.
TRY AGAIN
After you read through the thread.
I'm aware of Stuart. He is around and active, but it's mostly questions. It's okay for now, but it's not a strong town read for me. But I don't feel like you do. I don't think he really wants to please everyone, and the "it feels like he is being mentored" is nonsense to me.
How do you feel that somebody is mentored btw. What points you to that?
This is all in an argument with Grizzly. It didn't really do anything for me, but it's one of only a few instances of DCPAT getting into an actual discussion.I don't think you need to be mentored from the outside to act like that. Even more, I hope that is not the case.
This is right at day end, saying he's fine with a Grizzly lynch. He doesn't vote for anyone D1, but there is a gap prior to this where he doesn't post at all. Slightly bad feelings.He even said it was reaching with this massive game.
I'm fine with this lynch.
Just isn't really putting much out there or doing much.I might save my shot for later this day.
Why you shot at Stuart?
Is poking at Rynam, feels confident Rynam is going to be got and doesn't seem bothered by it. Dunno, bit null on it.Town makes mistakes, if you don't scumread somebody please don't shoot at him. I would vote for you over this, but I'm pretty sure you going to catch a few more shots next round, that votes on you not really going to matter.
What if somebody was to shoot you?
Lol wow yea. I meant ITA shots!
This isn't funny.
I want to read into this and find something, but I think it's honestly probably a coincidence. Would scum say this right before shooting? Probably not. I could see a town vig doing so, but the reaction to two deaths feels a bit more muted in comparison for that.Interesting that we have 2 people dead at the same time.
More shade on Rynam, but most at this point felt he was scummy.But I'm also thinking Stuart is town. At this moment I don't see Rynam not flipping scum and in that light I relate Stuart as town. With Rynam shot at Stuart and Stuart's shot at Rynam and all.
Mazre
DCPAT is pretty early on Mazre compared to the wagon that built up at day end. NAI, it was an easy thing to read. Sorta good that it was fast, but if he's scum then of course it'd be fast.Mazre hit a shot at zipped. Just sayin
This feels like a really muted response compared to most. Pings my radar as odd, bad vibes.Okay to summarize the Stuart and Include.
We get the red check from Stuart - I buy this claim. I don't see a scum Stuart atm, so no need to lie from him. The role itself is kinda confusing to me, but well done if Stuart makes that up himself. Also, I think nobody counterclaimed untill now? So in combination with Ynnek that should also be worth something.
Do I want to kill the red check?
Normally I'd say kill the red check immediately, BUT, now I'm not sure who the red check is. It's between Include and Natiko after that claim and now I want to know more from Natiko. We all got our ITA's, so I think we should shoot one of the 2?
Well, thank you then, don't know why I deserve your help but sure.
I don't believe I'm dodging. I think I'm being pretty honest in saying that I do not know what Gorlak said about it, and I gave my opinion on the matter (which I already did earlier aswell in the posts you quoted). I don't know if Gorlak gave any new insights, but if he hasn't I still stand by my opinion that the whole TD event gives Melon towncred.
But what I do know is that you have scumread on Melon after the TD, whereas I have a townread. So maybe it's a good idea to talk.
You think I'm scum because you think Melon is scum and I "dodge" all discussion about it?
This is the biggest series of interactions he's had all game pretty much. He seems to be frustrated by what he feels is a misunderstanding. It feels genuine, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's alignment indicative given the circumstances. At least it's a laid out argument that goes from A to B to C.- I stumbled on the red-check earlier and focussed on that, untill you questioned me and this convo happened. It is what it is.
- Then you read it wrong. I'm using you shooting Splinter as a point that Melon wouldn't throw this TD at scummate Splinter, just as you wouldnt shoot at scummate Splinter aswell. So that's my Melon townread opinion on the matter.
- At this point I do wonder what you want from me. I townread Melon because of it and that's it for me. What we can discuss however is the voting behaviour from anybody on the matter, which I already did a little. If Faddy was still alive for example I would've highly suspected him of it. That vote on scum Splinter when it was already decided on no-lynch made no sense then. So if you want my opinion about that; I don't really think it's worth looking for scum in the no-lynch vote. There were so many on the no-lynch that both scum and town were there probably, and so many who didn't even vote. No no-lynch was so non-contested that I don't think there is that much info there.
What I found interesting and already pointed out is the late votes for either Melon or Splinter. Easy votes as I called them. Sadly I might've been wrong there since almost all already flipped town lol. We only have Gorlak on the Melon vote (but he was a rather early vote) and Oreo, ferg and Geno on the Splinter vote.
More posts of being reserved.I don't think it's bad to hold on for your shot a little longer. But at least use it.
No need to all fire away directly.
That's worth looking into both on who bailed and Extreme himself. I have a gut feeling that Apollo boosted Splinter which is why he was so gung ho to get in a duel, but I could see Extreme being scum regardless. The only thing I remember off the top of my head that felt good from him was his confusion feeling genuine and I would expect that more from town than scum with a bunch of buddies to help recap. I don't think he has many posts maybe I can ISO him and one or two others tomorrow while at work.I also semi find it interesting that for all the early talk on ET being scum because of the boost we currently have no votes on him.
Actually I do have one vote. It's Fandorin I think.I also semi find it interesting that for all the early talk on ET being scum because of the boost we currently have no votes on him.
I can't expect people to remember me given how little impact I've had on the games I've played, but I have and will always feel that a player should be allowed some leeway in order to give them the opportunity to play. So if anyone subs in or is having trouble finding the time to play then I want to give them the benefit of the doubt for a few days to give them the opportunity to get stuck in and start playing the game in earnest.Small bit of defense of Rynam. Nothing too crazy, but it did jump out at me.
Responding to this because it'd be weird to just leave out one of the sections: Not much to say apart from that I didn't intend to end up in a tunnel, that was just how it played out.So here you'll see a series of posts that make up a pretty big tunnel on JubJub's part. Generally this big of a tunnel I tend to town read, mainly because I feel like scum will at least try and switch it up now and then. He does put in some effort on a few of these posts and seem to genuinely be trying to make an argument for why Zipped is scum. Good feels.
You're right in that I'd typed that before Verelios' flip was posted. The reason I said "I don't think I'll be taking that shot" was that it was my first time being present for an ITA phase and I couldn't remember if flips came during or after the phase. I assumed after and was wrong.So this is where things take a bit of a turn.. while he did post this after the flip, based on the wording it sounds like it was typed prior to it. He's essentially saying "I haven't seen Vere's flip yet, but I already think based on it I won't be shooting Zipped". Considering how deep his tunnel was, it seems odd to me that he would backpedal so fast and supposedly before even knowing the result of Vere's flip.
Geno had come onto my radar as a result of his freaking out over Terraforce on day 1, I decided not to pursue that read as he was high-profile enough that he'd certainly be getting looked at by a number of other players. I felt safe shelving any reads on him to start limiting the number of players I was actively reading to try stop myself from being overwhelmed by the size of the game. Include's shot reminded me that I wasn't entirely without a scumread after Zipped turned out to be a bad read. Fair enough if you think I'm making that shit up though.Next we have another eyebrow raise. JubJub out of nowhere decides to shoot at Geno without any real justification. You know who else shot at Geno just a few posts before this? Include. JubJub even goes on to discuss how he doesn't have a fully realized opinion of Geno. Yikes.
The reason is valid and I will not apologise for finding it. Also, there was no way I was going to stay up until 9 or 10 AM doing for Geno what I'd done for Zipped.Gasp, JubJub found a reason to scum read the person he apparently already thought was worth killing. He doesn't build as strong of a case here as he tried on Zipped. Bad feelings.
On day 2 my Zipped tunnel became a crutch for me, when that was kicked out from under me I fell back on an old Geno feeling and Include being in my Town pile. Having that fall through as well left me seriously disoriented.About the only relevant post today. Waffles around, comes to the general conclusion that it could be any which way. Generally null, but not an impressive post.
Why do you think that could be the case?Anyway, I find it weird that Nomad is suddenly very active.
Won't lie, much of my Muffin read is also feels since ISOing him 100% would likely take an hour+.
Well, he seemed to suddenly become active before the ITA, despite claiming he had no idea what it was. He says he's a vanilla townie, then shoots Monkey because he thought Monkey was being scummy.Why do you think that could be the case?
Do you have any leads after Include's flip?
And can you give me some background on you? Which games have you played before?
Exactly that's why I'm interested in this. I called him out because I found him to not be contributing to the game despite having a lot of posts. I've played with him a few times and know that he can do more, but that he also likes to stay on the sidelines as neutral or scum. His response seemed to be disproportionately hostile, like he wanted me to go away.Find it interesting you, Gorlak, ask this considering you went at him earlier this Phase pretty hard (3948).
Gorlak (he/him; GMT+2) - Lots of posts here too so I skimmed. I do like how he pointed out Vere never gave a target despite being a Role Cop. Called out Kawl's Town Read of Splinter due to his celebration and picked at Grizzly's claim. Good Town Read here.
