1. No one else for kits? Feeling okay about the fb vote but figured I'd ask.
2. Just how much OMGUSing is afoot today? Feels like a lot.

I mean...that very much sounds like a neutral reading, same as I have. I'm just surprised and a little disconcerted at how readily you're checking Saw's town boxes on day 1. Reminds me too much of Pokemon Mafia.
To be honest my scum read of Burb is mostly two things: past-game knowledge and the dead weight push.
I still think voting out Dead Weight at this juncture is a terrible idea to base your lynch on and the fact that it's such an easy thing to push for doesn't sit well with me considering this is our only real information day. What Burb was arguing for can easily be turned around and said about this Day Phase; it's our only clear Day and Scum can easily push for those 'easy mislynches' to get out of this scenario and run into the rest of the game without a whole lot of worry.
I do agree that Burb's comments against Fire are interesting and I want to take a look at them once we get Burb's flip. If he's Scum I think it's important we look at Fire and I'm not honestly sure why some people want to go for Fire first given what Burb said ( that seems backwards to me ).
Mostly though, it's how he's playing. When he plays Scum, he gets bored. He doesn't post a whole lot and doesn't lead discussion a ton and focuses on things like mechanics or role speculation ( I know that's not here it's just an example ) or easy subjects that can be talked about by any alignment without issue. He always has a passive style of play but his Scum one is just slightly different and he kinda hangs back more than usual, something I'm seeing here.
Kinda Burb
and I kinda like CM, Nin, and LoC too
I can't really call it sheeping, but I feel like most of his points are just reciting other people's points. Like I said before, I don't feel like he expects to actually have to back up his vote with an argument. It feels more like he wanted to have a vote on record before leaving.
1.) I don't see the case for voting kits, and my focus hasn't really been on her.
2.) Definitely a lot, but I don't think that's atypical for a Day 1.
I'm not sold on his posting style and the direction of his posts. He's generating some discussion, but I'll wait to see if it goes anywhere.
Answered above
Gut Town Read.
How do you feel about Nin?
1. I've got nothing on Kits but she's playing more...relaxed than last game. She was kinda jumpy as Scum tbh
2. It does feel like a lot but I'd need to go back and look at voting reasons to give a solid answer. :x
Feels a bit too eclectic, gives me an odd feeling.

Not what I asked. I get why you think Stan has poor reasoning behind his vote. (Though I'm not sure why it's bad to have a vote down when people will also attack for not voting). I'm curious who you think is not being suspicious in the same way. In a roundabout way, I guess I'm asking if you have town reads/people you find more trustworthy at this juncture.
i dunno, i can't really fault burb for trying to go after dead weight even though im in that group
good enough reason as anything else and in the long run it's not a big loss
but if you go this route when do you stop? surely if you don't hit scum at the first go you gotta keep going back to it
is the hope just to get lucky

What were his comments, plural, against Fireblend?
(not that you asked, but my own personal issue with Fireblend is entirely separate from anything with Burb but I am curious about why people are targeting Burb; I don't have as much experience with him so I like to see the case)

and if they don't? so with a list of 5 dead weight how are you going to clear everyone

It's always the question. Scum can hide in those low-post groups but it's a crapshoot to go there day one. But you don't want to kill your most active posters, either.

The ironic thing is that this never works. Policy lynching low activity posters doesn't motivate other low activity posters because they know you'll have to look elsewhere eventually.
Killing dead weight isn't the object of the game though. It doesn't help this argument that there's usually some intersection between scum and dead weight which isn't lost on me, but this is a very bad, blind plan to follow.
Can we get a new votecount?
Just a gut read or anything specific?
Mostly deferring back to LoC's post, but his observation of Burb's post here about leaving Fireblend out is a great point considering he really didn't do anything up to then. I say posts because the one LoC quoted relates to his original Dead Weight list here which doesn't include Fireblend and only lists Isaac, Kits, Trigger, Oreo, and Rac. Sorry if it made it seem like there were more posts but these were the two I was referring to.
go with who you think the scum is regardless of post count. :x

So same stuff I've already discussed.
I'd put the bear on a watch list but that seems awfully small to me for a day1 lynch. Mountains from molehills from where I sit, but we'll see how the bear defends, or if he does, with 13 minutes to go.

Lol Are we really gonna let him live? Bandwagon, no reason final day vote, rapid swings from peaceful to lashing when threatened. Come on now.
Probably Sawneeks and LoC and ummmmmm Fireblend? I agree with some of Saw's positions on how to approach the day, I'm not as into lynching Burb though. LoC's posts feel pretty townie. Urging people to be more critical vs just going the easy route. Fireblend always sounds reasonable, but I don't know how scum Fireblend differs from town Fireblend. Evil mustache perhaps? People will attack for not having a vote down, but I don't think just tossing out a vote is a much better option.
Hm? How didn't I notice Fire didn't give a reason for his nin vote. Was that a prod? How are you going to prod but not expand on it?

I don't think Stan is in contention so you could have always changed your vote. This reads like absolving guilt.

Give us a better direction then.
Fire demands sacrifice. The ember that burns in a Champion's breast.
Unfortunately self-sacrifice doesn't appear to be on the menu.
From amongst yourselves you have cast one out to feed the dying flames.
Tying them down and turning your backs to their screams as they are consumed by the fire.
You hope your callous brutality will be rewarded.
The flame seems a little stronger now, or perhaps that's just wishful thinking.
Fireblend has died

Day 2 begins
There was a soul here and now it's gone.
In the darkness Burbeting had his soul forcefully excised from his body with the help of the Dark Hand (he was killed by the Darkwraiths.
Now not even a hollow remains of him.
As the rest of you stare down at his broken husk you realize it wouldn't even make a good sacrifice to the fire which is a shame because It is becoming clear that the last sacrifice did not improve the fire in the slightest.
Burbeting has died.

It was a smart kill. Unlikely the healer would target them tonight, with their head possibly on the block for tomorrow.
I'm not gonna apologize for killing them. If there was a better path yesterday, I didn't see it. Let's try again today, hopefully with a better outcome.

So are we now meant to suspect the people who were going for Burb because the kill throws attention on them? There's WIFOM in them there hills.
Two people didn't vote d1. Why?
Isaac told us he wouldn't be back and active until Saturday night, right? But it's Sunday for game start. No one was active last night. A slip? Miscalculation? Nothing?
Are we lynching today or nah? Votes didn't move a lot. We don't have much to work from.
RIP Fireblend (sorry) and Burb.

Now that I look at his posts again, there isn't really much there to draw conclusions from. Mostly his talk about lynching dead weight and little spats with Nin and Sawneeks, but nothing eyebrow-raising. Seems like more of a random nk to me.
Muffin1611

No, I don't think that would lead to anything fruitful.
But maybe he wasn't that far off with his talk about lynching dead weight and scum didn't like it. That's really the only thing I could draw from it right now.

This is what I'm saying. Every angle from which we could study Burb could be as calculated or as empty as any other. We need something else to weigh it against. It's all "maybe" until then.
You say that as if anything else we could investigate right now wouldn't be circumstantial. It's at least better to have an analysis of Burb's posts and a theory for why he might have died than not have one and flounder around.
hey_monkey
Banned
Nah. Just saying we need to see if there's anything else to go with it. I do think we should look at Burb, just not only at Burb, because it's not the usual n1 kill I've seen in my (few) games in that he really does have connections to things here. And they could be meaningful or it could be meant to encourage us to kill more townies. We need to be cautious is all.

Drawing possibilites from the votes doesn't really seem like an option today either, votes are spread pretty evenly between several different players. FB also "won" barely.
