Kawl voted Sophia before Zipped was close to being lynched, and Cabot and Squidy are both dead with confirmed alignments.
Stanley was gunning hardcore for Zipped for some reason. Both days those were his only votes, and both days he didn't switch.
Zipped also had his vote on Stanley on day 1, and moved it off rather quickly in favor of Droplet.
# trust the gut
so when you guys say the banana might have been a redirect, what exactly do you mean by that? iv never seen it in a game before and dont want to go making to many assumptions.
my initial impression of what went down was the banana causing the lynch to pass Sophia and go to whoever was second in votes at the time.
i might just be reading into flavor too much, but sophias banana doesn't strike me as a poison,
the flavor of feeling 'fruity and strange' makes me think its effect will be something weirder as opposed to something just objectively threatening.
but i guess time will tell on this mystery.
Huh.... Stanley, did you know about the banana beforehand? You were the only person as far as I can tell to suggest something other than a role block or poison on Day 2. Likewise, you suggested it wasn't something "objectively threatening", but weirder... and sure enough what happened at the end of Day 2 was pretty weird.
Goddamn. Nothing has gone on.
Gorlak, you jumped I'm with a pretyped. Anything else going on?
Dammit. Going with you, Gorlak. Still don't trust squid. Hope you're still around.
Vote: Zippedpinhead
Going with Gorlak, the person currently on Sophia who is only switching in the event of a tie, which you just created?
going with anyone when no one is confirmed, there's a problem.
wtf? Why would you tie it up like that.
I'll unvote if we don't break the tie
Why did both Zipped and Flame have their votes on Kawl beforehand?
Vote: Kawl_USC
Cheers Kawl.
It's a few hours before the end of the day, and while I don't have a lot of reasons to vote the way I'm about to but this is my reasoning.
I'm was thinking of voting for flame today, out of the people at the top of that vote count there are squidyj, flame and myself. I don't want to die, so as second place my initial gut read is to look into who has more votes than me and see why others think he is scum.
But then I looked into flame_AC, and I don't think he is scum, I think he's town. So I'm going against my gut and voting for someone else.
Well what about squidyj? He is viable alternative, but he has slowed his posting today, trying to be more useful in his views today. Which makes me think he is town as well.
So where does that leave me? I know I'm town, so I'm not voting myself.
Vote: kawl_USC
I don't like the pressure he has suddenly put on, it sounds more like scum trying to throw shade then real town reads.
Ok, so after reading the thread, I have two observations
1). I really don't understand Squidyj's position on flame_AC. Is flame hinting at gossip or is he doing something else. Did he post the wrong thing and everyone is misinterpreting it? Or did I miss a post from flame?
2). I'm torn on who has less activity, kawl, stanleypalmetree or myself... Usually at this point I'm voting inactivity (because it's as good a reason to vote day 1 as most others since scum coasts).
So I'm thinking stanleypalmetree, I had to go back farther to see a post from him and he scum read me.
vote: stanleypalmetree
1) wrong spelling
2) you chose him because he scum reads you? so its basically a OMGUS.
Flame is less active than those three if you're going for inactives. Why did you exclude him
I excluded flame, because I already talked about him in the previous comment. you are right he is just as inactive as stanleypalmtree and I.
You are wrong again though, still town. that makes ten times you know? Yeah I did chose stan over another person because of the scum read. Why not? It's day 1, it's not quite a coin flip, but since I know what I am (forever town) I know he is barking up the wrong trees. Why does that leave you off the hook? Because you and I play very different games of Mafia. So we scum read each other every game and are wrong about it.
Stanleypalmtree comes out of woodwork as soon as another vote comes his way. If it wasn't day 1 I would consider that a scum tell. But it's day 1. And madness will ensue.
Stanley I think you may be scum but only time will tell.
That being said,
unvote
Honestly I don't think kawl is a good lynch candidate either. Drop on the other hand...
Drop posted a response to accusations but not an actual defense. It could be tiredness (that's what Drop claims) but it could be a conscious decision.
So I'm leaning... No I'm actually voting for
vote: droplet
Look at the immediate reactions:
How would in the event of a tie me changing to zipped and you unvoting resolve the tie?
You didn't feel good about squidyj, fair point. Why did you throw your vote to squidyj? To make a point?
While I still have some trouble to see a (scum) motivation here, your behaviour was weird. Would you please try to explain it?
Not me.Did anyone get any items? Another poker chip or fruit?
Stanley has two posts this phase.Don't think Stanley or Kawl have checked in yet.
Interesting that nobody has claimed responsibility for what happened yesterday. If it was a town one shot role, I'd have expected them to. So either it wasn't a one shot, which sounds a little overpowered, or it's not a town role. Which would be odd, since Zipped died as a result of it.
So you aren't even trying to justify it?Oof, that reasoning by Sophia/Gorlak is pretty good.
From the outside, it looks pretty bad, but there isn't a way I can show you that I am just vanilla townie.
The second paragraph is actually a good thought. If it was an override, it surely wasn't Scum and for Town it had to be 1-shot, balance wise. If it was Sophia with a Scum role, well, it was Sophia with a Scum role. If it was the banana was some kind of "You can't get lynched" thing, I can't even wrap my head around how to balance this... On the other hand, if it was some 1-shot thing, it may not be good play for the owner to reveal that since he would then basically be Vanilla Town.
To RoyalFlush, no, I can't really try and justify it. My actions then were my actions then, I happened to be on the wrong side of the lynch train with Zipped.
Can I ask you who you think is scum then?
I've checked in kind of. Cabot claims to be a miller. If I was a miller personally I would probably keep it to myself because I am consistently read scummy and am better off trying to find scum before I get checked.
I've never played with cabot but if people tend to read him as town he's probably better off getting the miller claim out early regardless of alignment.
A supposed miller is a better lynch than a random to me so I would be fine lynching him. Unless there is no cop, I don't know how the game mechanics would give him away.
Question for everyone, is there any point in keeping our identities secret (names, not roles)?
This game is alarmingly quiet with deadline looming.
Regarding FEP, this was always in my mind:
This stuck out to me because it felt like he was prematurely excusing scummy behaviour. Could be nothing (day one and all) but it was interesting to me.
I'm going to try and keep track as day end approaches but I might not be able to.
My top scum right now. Kawl. Squidy. StarSketch. Droplet. Not strong reads per se but all I've got.
Kawls urging for prs to keep quiet and eat a lynch still rubs me the wrong way. We finished that conversation at a good place but that should be expected. Squidy's team test gives me a headache every time i read over it. Droplet I don't really have a reason for. Star seems to be phoning the game in a bit. Four is probably too many but these are day one and everything's in the air.
Vote: Kawl_USC
Honestly, I was a bit shocked by how many people found nukedeggs super town yesterday. Obviously it wasn't wrong but it seems more like weak justification for the nk.
Droplet is fucked. Even among those who didn't vote for her, we have people myself included, vocalizing agreement on the lynch
No. What i meant was that even people with no vote on her voiced opinions on droplet being an okay target. So there's more to consider than just the actual, while those are important. I got called out for including her on a scum reads with almost no explanation, and others, though, certainly not everyone, voiced some suspicion without voting.
I guess my takeaway is just that I don't expect more than two scum on the vote, if even that. I wouldn't be surprised if there were none
Ehh, I guess right now I'm feeling Royal, Kawl, and idk. Starsketch can hold onto the spot if i need a name.
I thought Royal would be the nk because he struck me as one of the more active and useful posters yesterday with no real suspicion on him. The most noticeable thing about nukedeggs to me was so many people finding her super town.
Cabot is my other top poster, but wasn't expecting an nk due to miller status.
Certainly not active, I misspoke there. I was actually surprised how few posts you had when I looked at that at the end of day. How this works is that when players I perceive as more useful to the town survive longer than ones I perceive as less useful, I get suspicious. Thre is the thing with your vote on Droplet as well.
So end of day yesterday. Squid is leading the vote at t-3 hours. Kawl puts in a tie on zipped to shake things up. Droplet had two votes at this point. Nukedeggs throws a bit of shade my way before the tie and cabot jumps on it but no votes.
Flame breaks the tie toward droplet about 2.5 hours before deadline. An hour later Royal and Star seal the deal. End of day is quiet.
Worth noting, droplet vote started with a cabot shitpost and then squidy omgus' her with pretty weak (imo) reasoning. Cabot jumps off.
Sophia and I both voiced agreement with the droplet lynch, me in my list that Sophia found suspicious, Sophia herself as a sort of yolo who cares reaction to the train later. Maybe not as much agreement as i remembered, but that still gives 7 of 14 players at least with some vocalized consent.
I guess between zipped and squid, I feel like there's one scum. Likely not both of them. Maybe another between flame, royal, and star. Flame walked out of the abyss to start the three-way tie, raising the stakes from the two-way kawl purposefully set up.
Vote: squidyj
To be fair, a vanilla should endeavor to be a pr read imo. I've been flip-flopping on sophia. Right now, i think she's town though.
Top 3 town:
Gorlak
Somhia
Idk
Scum:
Squidy
Royal
Kawl/Cabot
Flame, i get why others would be suspicious but i don't have it. Him and Zipped are about equal on posts and read through them, and I'm torn between zipped and squid tbh (zipped not in my list because i do think it's one or the other). Not solid either. Would be an epic fuck up if we passed for some random (like droplet, you assholes) and missed two. Zipped brought that up, not sure why, when he was on the chopping block. Assume he doesn't mean himself, so let's get some color by numbers explanation, huh?
Dammit. Going with you, Gorlak. Still don't trust squid. Hope you're still around.
Vote: Zippedpinhead
I mean you said you would switch to zipped if there was a tie. Don't feel good about squidy deciding the vote.
Causing the tie was a push to lynch Zipped. I didn't have much time but when there was a three way tie, I read over Flame, Zipped, and Sophia's posts and decided Zipped was most suitable for a lynch. With him confirmed scum, not sure what you think my scum play was there.
If Sophia was scum, why would I try and save her by bussing another scum? If she's town, why would I try and save her by bussing a teammate?
Now, I feel really good about crimson after last night. Either an opportunistic as hell bus or he's town. Think town is more likely.
Sophia, I'm not sure about now that we know squid was town. I already mentioned I found zipped's comments odd when he voted her. She was happy to eat a lynch, rather than have a tie, urging the town to look closely at me in the context of her flip, which I found weird. If she was scum that would look pretty bad for me, rushing to "save" her (not really) but in the context of the actual flip (my target, a scum) i don't think i look that bad. I do think that if she was town, a tie should have been preferable to a ml if she was on the block. I think she knew she wouldn't be lynched. Otherwise, why so eager to allow an ml? If she also knew zipped would eat it, i would tend to think she was town. At any rate, think it's time for Sophia to fess up.
Vote: gryvan
A vote from you on someone could help convince me to share some of my thoughts.
Flame hinted at something day 1 and gained some heat. Today he comes out with an ordinary claim. I'm inclined to believe him over Sophia.
.
Vote: Flame_AC
Your hinting at having a claim only to say you're vanilla reminds me greatly Of something that happened in PW. Of course the player in question was very suspicious in retrospect so.
I spent a lot of time looking at Gorlak last night but didn't come up with much. Kind of weird exchange with kawl. I feel okay about Gorlak as well despite him almost actually tying us up.
You sleeky bastard. Don't you dare blame this shit on me now! wtf... you intentionally create a tie, forcing me to change to my lynch target #2 and blame me for what could have been? You unvoted in the same moment I wanted to change my vote. You just happened to be a second faster. I definitely am not solely responsible for what happened and "could've been" back there.
Gorlak, I'm not sure I followed your reasoning here. Could you explain it a bit more for me?
That tie and confusion I put mostly on Feps shoulders rest assure Gorlak. I did have a question up above if you would be so kind as to answer id greatly appreciate it.
Already on it. I'm going through the thread atm.
No worries, just wanted to make sure you saw it.
By extension of your logic, isn't not hinting at a role a semi soft claim if you expect a skilled player?
You're saying everyone who keeps his role close to his chest and says nothing would be soft claiming a PR? Errhh, I'm sure I didn't say that.
Wait, there is a double negative, can you rephrase your question?
Flame dropped some hints at having a PR. That looks like a good approach to attract the scum nk. I'd say that is a reasonable way to play if you are ordinary as well, instead of the "insecure", passive Sophia way of "you have to do the work" we saw as well. The preemptive claim was worrying me, Flame's claim was simply more believable to me.
Gorlak, I'm not sure I followed your reasoning here. Could you explain it a bit more for me?
As far as gryvan, it comes down to the last post of the day by star:
Where shortly after Crimson rubutted that by saying two people did so in Pw one as town one as scum and she never responded which seems like a scum member dropping a vote with what they think is a pretty good reason and running away when challenged.
And also gryvans post saying that you surviving a lynch is suspicious but that it could also be an attempted frame job. I don't like the hedging of bets/lack of a hard stance.
I will say your case for Flame is interesting. A lot of it seems to depend on tying zipped to him via missing from reads day 1, the gut read day denial post day 2, and semi sheeping the vote on me. To me this reads more like zipped was trying to develop Flame as a patsy in the case he went down. If you can set up a town person to get lynched following your death that's a pretty solid swing for scum. I may have missed it but do you have posts tying flame to zipped more so than the other way around?
I don't see how "I don't want to ask that question" is a good Scum play. Overall he has done quite some scummy things, it's only this that kind of holds me back.
You sleeky bastard. Don't you dare blame this shit on me now! wtf... you intentionally create a tie, forcing me to change to my lynch target #2 and blame me for what could have been? You unvoted in the same moment I wanted to change my vote. You just happened to be a second faster. I definitely am not solely responsible for what happened and "could've been" back there.
Not much has changed since Flame's claim struck me as ringing true. I think if he's scum that was a pretty massive risk. I don't see it, especially when one of the other front runners was scum.
I've got my vote on gryvan and it's where I believe there is likely scum.
Any particular reason you are asking me and royal in particular, and not say FEP or Gorlak who I think have been as active in producing good thoughts and opinions?
One question and a response to cabot's "who would I chose between Sophia and kawl"
Flush, are you looking for a response from me or question? Was this a prod vote? Or am I scum without the possibility of being town.
Cabot, if the vote was a thunder dome between Sophia and kawl with no other options. Based on gameplay so far I would save Sophia and lynch kawl. I feel Sophia (as scum reading of me that she is this game) is far more supportive and structured for town than kawl has been. Kawl has been active but not to Sophia's level. Sophia also has been giving us good reads and insights, I feel that kawl has not been.
It's a few hours before the end of the day, and while I don't have a lot of reasons to vote the way I'm about to but this is my reasoning.
I'm was thinking of voting for flame today, out of the people at the top of that vote count there are squidyj, flame and myself. I don't want to die, so as second place my initial gut read is to look into who has more votes than me and see why others think he is scum.

Alright Crimson, zipped/flame/squidy or Sophia?
If you had to choose between the two.
Follow up question: one of the ordinary claims or someone unclaimed like....zipped for example
Almost goes without saying, not me. I know I'm town, it's those other people I know nothing about. Though between flame, Sophia and a not me person from your list? I would choose a person that had not claimed and was not me.
