This isn't really making you look any less strangely defensive. I'll leave interpretation of that comment up to you.

It's also making you like you're completely trying to deflect any attention away from yourself which quite frankly is looking very defensive.

Master Drink, a pleasure to gulp you down.

This is a strange early game. You all are trying to make me lose my job with your clowning about early jokes, fluff and sporadic activity on hour five. I mean I wouldn't take great offence should that come to pass, your fine clown-work already might've dug up some fine nuggets here!

Dracula dropping the accent is a bigger question mark than his vote is. Spider-Man's vote was a obvious joke vote, it takes some courage for a scummie to join something like that. No courage would be needed though, were they in cahoots. Spider-Man doubling down on voting out easy fluff targets is bad.

People calling out the people calling out Spider-Man for not reading the rules, that be some sleepy work there friends.

Dany was self-aware there with Cereal Killer, what does that mean? Perhaps a tiny town thing on her part? The action of asking the questions is whatever, some people do that as scummies too but I get where folks like CK and Witch are coming from with their more stellar ratings. And then Witch turns the rating upside down, well done!

So if folks think Dracula disappeared after the first sign of pressure to consult with scummates, why didn’t he do that before voting? And why has his behavior remained completely unchanged after supposedly consulting with them after the vote?

Only one scum left for you to find

Wanted to see who jumped on this. Think this is everyone?

The way I took it, Dracula just made the assumption that there are 4 scum in the game, reasonable given the 18 players.

Did Natiko tell us how many scum there are? I didn't see that.
I called it out before but ok.

Bob Ross really wants you to know he pointed out the "scum slip" first

Um you know something you want to tell us about?


It's day 1, it could just be a guess, not a zlip.

Could read as defense.

This is a hell of a bad post though. Further investigation is required.

This comment seems a little over the top, like trying to blow Drac's post out of proportion. Not sure I like these vibes.

I think out of all these responses I like Bob Ross and Zombie's the least.
 

Clown

Also a good point. Maybe they don't know that Dany in GoT gets visions sometimes?

This I think is the case.

Prisoner's vote can easily be excused, perhaps it was a introductory joke for one. Rey on the other hand has them hints of coming from the SalvaPot scum-school of being so scummy that it hurts to look at.

This is only valid as long as there aren't that many votes and there is a lot of uncertainty, such as the start of D1. End of Day is a whole other story.

On the number of scum, it depends on power roles and neutrals since the calculation on 20% comes to 3.6. Percentage could be lower or higher too

Whoops didn’t realise things had started so quickly. I think Dany’s initial concern about Cereal Killer makes them look more town to me, because there was some gamesolving effort there. They were also a little snappy afterwards, and I don’t think scum would want to draw that much attention to themselves just yet.

Wait, it's "gamesolving" to throw out that Cereal Killer = Serial Killer? That's like lowest effort possible to make that connection/joke, that's not actually trying to do any solving.

I was just wondering if you tried to see it through Prisoner's eyes, apparently not. I tried thinking about what the logic could've been there, but I didn't see anything. For one, I have trouble seeing how one could clump up all the three second votes on three different targets, the circumstances around each of the votes were different and thus the conclusion to clump them all up seems odd.
 

Clown

And thus, Prisoner, I'd like you to expand on this:

Anybody who is the second vote on somebody is suspect. Other than that not much to gather so far.

What's the idea here? Can the same idea be used against all the three current second voters? Is there a difference, and if there is, what is it, between the second Cereal Killer vote and the second Dracula vote?

There was an opportunity here to say that Dany did more than just present the novel idea of Serial Killer = Cereal Killer, because there was more than just that. A little more, mainly in the form of pressure - but more than the 1+1 level of an obvious idea. It is curious that you missed that opportunity - surface reading is a foul crime after all.

So after going back through the thread (man, I am really missing the Who Replied setting), I am even more confused by your previous comment that "Dany is concerned about Cereal" comment. Here is the basic jist of that "conversation":

VOTE: Cereal Killer

...Can't be that obvious can it?

Spidey throws out the vote and Dany just says its not that obvious. There is a little suspicion thrown at Spidey about just throwing out the vote like that but that's pretty much the extent of it. Were you getting your scum chat conversations mixed up perhaps?

As to your question to me, I have said that both Dany and Rey are on my list of possibles in that I don't think both are scum but I would not be surprised at all if one of them are. I would lean a little more towards Rey in that respect but not to an overwhelming degree.

It's more of a gut feel than having any strong post evidence at this point. I think it was this post that first made me go hmm:

That’s when it’s too late to take anything seriously because our voices will be silenced by the night. One of us will probably perish over night too.

At that point, as I mentioned about it, we were only about 5 hours in the game and then all of the sudden we need to take things super seriously because uh oh one of us is going to die in the night (which unless we have a lucky doc then yes that's obviously going to happen). It felt like she was just trying to buy some serious townie cred by trying to be the first one to wrangle things so early. That and I don't love the visions talk but that is probably just flavor junk with nothing behind it.

Whoops, for some reason I thought it was Dany who made that observation. So it’s actually Spidey who IMO was making some attempt at gamesolving, and they’re the ones who I feel slightly better about.

It just read as trying to buy town cred really early in the game. Percentages say are we are likely going to lunch a townie today and then lose at least 1 (depending on if there is an SK or any additional killing abilities) during the night phase so I don't get all of this concern about losing people now.

Am I missing something? Why do you get these vibes from Daenerys?

I'm more ambivalent on Rey, I can't remember a single post they've done today and I'm trying to figure out an easier way to iso them than just looking through the whole thread with ctrl + f.

Yes scum screwing up does make it easier but it's not solely down to just that. The town can look at behavior patterns, voting records and results, and night actions to put together a picture of what is going on. All of that happens as the game progresses and really none of it is available for examination on Day 1. You trying to act all serious so early and so concerned about a few town dying in the first day and night is really not a good look.

So Rey's iso is mostly fluffly with a fixation on Daenerys that I find odd, but the oddest fixations and tunnels usually come from townies. Especially given how it's manifest with them ascribing too much meaning to this "vision" stuff, scum would probably want to seem more logical.

I don't agree. I am not fully sure if the post you quoted was fully serious or not, but I don't think it even matters. If it is not serious, what is there to care about hour three banter? If it is serious, it is but one of many - she started showing hints of seriousness in her third post and thus the perceived pressure to switch to seriousness never happened where you think it happened.

Sundays are always difficult for me, but I'll try to comment for a bit.

As in would this clown support the death penalty for the incarcerated? For the record, Prisoner has not responded to my query about the infamous second voters though the response to Baby is not instilling me with confidence.

I would not oppose it yet I'd personally hold the sword arm high for now. There is a chance this turning into a bitch eating crackers -scenario with many people piling on one. I'd like to hear a bit more on the matter above and generally just anything else he has to offer.
There isn't really more to it than what I wrote in my response to Baby. To me second voters always feel like they are just waiting for someone else to make an argument, so they can gauge what is acceptable and what isn't. And as I said, this is mostly an issue at the start of D1 and gives me a rough idea on who to keep an eye on for end of day. In the absence of more info, this is as good a starting point as any.

I don't really disagree, just wanted to hear you voice it a bit. So, right now the people that are 2nd voters are Banana and Dracula. How do you feel about those two overall especially considering those votes don't feel overly serious?

Also, since we're coming up 24 hours I feel like I should ask.

@Zombie

Any opinions on anyone in the game at this point? Anyone you don't like the look of or anyone you do?

And thus, Prisoner, I'd like you to expand on this:



What's the idea here? Can the same idea be used against all the three current second voters? Is there a difference, and if there is, what is it, between the second Cereal Killer vote and the second Dracula vote?
On reread, I feel worst about reys vote, because it really just repeats what I had already said. Bananas vote is at least declared as a joke vote and not a direct response to the first vote, as is Draculas vote to an extent.
Obviously I'm going to necessarily disagree, when there's nothing but a bunch of 1 vote wagons nothing gets accomplished.
Well, obviously there needs to be a second vote eventually. But if the argument from the second vote are the same as for the first vote, I get skeptical.
Your vote was a joke responding to a joke. That has a very good chance of meaning absolutely nothing. You dropping the z was you submitting to pressure and that is always noteworthy. Town-noteworthy or scum-noteworthy, the jury is still out on that.
I'm really not a fan of this quote. You're basically saying you're going to construct this argument depending on what you need at the moment.
Question for anyone reading this: If you had a sword who would you kill right now?
Probably Clown. His insistence that Dracula dropping the z's is noteworthy and leaving it open which way he'll interpret it is not a good look in my opinion.

vote: Clown

I don't understand how someone wanting to go with lunching their biggest suspect is nagl

People should definitely be voting for their biggest suspect, that was never a discussion point. My point was that Dany seemed to be trying awfully hard for early town cred with her "let's all be serious now" takes so early in the day. It just reads as someone trying to hard to show that they are town and not scum.

@Banana I would like to talk more about the people in this game instead of the mechanics with you. How do you view those who haven’t been discussed much so far?

I wasn't really talking about mechanics that much but that's fine. Going in order based off the player list in the first post:

Baby - Digging into Prisoner's 2nd vote thing but hasn't really contributed much. Need to see more.
Barack Obama - Not many posts at the time of writing and not really putting much out there with their few posts. Need to see more.
Barney - No real contributions, most of the posts seem to be aimed at Dracula's early accent talk.
Bob Ross - I am disappoint in no happy tree references so far. Did seem aggressive in pointing out Dracula's possible slip but as I was also going hmmm at that I am probably bias in thinking that they are likely in the clear for now.
Cereal Killer|CK - Fairly comfortable town read at this point in time, maybe because most of our thoughts seem to line up and that's causing some bias on my end (because I am obviously right on my no/low information gut feelings).
Cinderella - Didn't seem to be paying that close of attention with the whole Spidey and Dany mix up. Just someone going through the motions or a scum that doesn't care what they really put out?
Clown - Asking questions and getting a good town feel, wish they would put more of their ideas out there however.
Daenerys Targaryen - Feels to be angling for too much town cred too early.
Dracula - My initial vote on them was just a joke due to the accent talk. Have had no reason to change it due to their scum split post and then trying to deflect attention elsewhere when called out about it.
Jack Sparrow - First slightly suspicious of Dracula on an early early read but then comes in to defend after Dracula takes some heat. Seems too obvious of a team play but keeping an eye on it.
Kool-Aid Man - Comes in late, says nothing jumps out and provides no discussion points. On the possibles list.
Minecraft Steve - Not really putting themselves out there, seems to be piggybacking a bit, but reads mostly town to me.
Prisoner - Really seems to be hung up on the 2nd vote thing, seems to be a weird angle to take but not something that immediate jumps out as scum.
Rey - I'm subscribing to the Salva school of pretending to be a scum so hard that of course you would never think of them as actually scum.
Spider-Man - I'm not fussed with throwing out the first vote but seem to come out very strongly against the Dracula backlash. Scum saving scum or just trying to prevent an early pile on to gather more i
Witch - Prying and looking if anything is behind what anyone is saying, feels town for now.
Zombie - Only 1 post at the time of writing this, need to see more.

My early sure to be 75% wrong scum team based on a 4 person scum team:

Dracula
Rey or Dany (probably not both and probably in that order)
Spidey
Kool-Aid

vote: Clown

Yeah, that definitely felt weird to me. I think a lot of people are just getting into their character, like Dany and the visions and it doesn't feel like it's worth holding over someone's head that they didn't stick to an accent. It feels like a weird setup for later

I don't get what merit does this generalization have. Dracula's vote was a joke, responding to a joke. Banana's was him being against RP. If you want to accuse people of sheeping ideas, the one idea that was being sheeped was yours - by Rey. The cases are not similar.

But now I am falling to the technicalities and shall stop. I just hope you do something with this line of thought before day end.

Probably Clown. His insistence that Dracula dropping the z's is noteworthy and leaving it open which way he'll interpret it is not a good look in my opinion.

No conclusion needs to be achieved for some things to be called noteworthy. This is one of those things - something that could go either way with more data and time. Pressure was applied and a player was bent, or the player got bored. Which one, I do not know yet.
