You don't have anything specific that stuck out?
[...] and there is something about his [Ourobolus] posting that has rubbed me the wrong way since the start.
Airing suspicions, but so far not only no active vote, no vote at all. I understand maybe having not having reads on day one, especially on the actual day one, but if you're going to voice your suspicions, you should have a vote somewhere. It reads more like you're trying to give a more vocal player reason to start a vote so you don't have to be accountable for it if things go south. I specifically don't like you going after redhood, who's been an admittedly easy target today, and of course me, who hasn't posted until now for reasons I already specified. Of course I don't mind if you're calling anyone out for inactivity, but with only easy targets, you're playing like you don't want anyone to notice you.
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=189818696&postcount=271Top 4 lists does seem like a bit of a waste of time especially when it's essentially RNG at this point. I get that it's getting people to say something, but I can't really see us getting anything from them, and scum can basically put whoever they like on them without any real consequence. especially looking at reasons some other people have given.
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=189840848&postcount=308Also on that topic: his continued persistence on calling himself town in a later post make me think that he probably isn't actually scum, seeing as I'd have thought that scum would have corrected that habit after being called out on it. Although then I might expect a townie to do the same as well.
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=190207718&postcount=800I see a slight benefit to top town lists: In a game like this with no power roles, one would expect the top townies to be targeted by scum, especially with no doctor in place. To me that would make any top townies who haven't been night killed by late game slightly more suspicious.
Not a complete give-away obviously, especially now that I've posted that idea publicly.
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=190207877&postcount=801Who killed Czar: someone who's watched or played with him before. Which would mean that there's at least one experienced player on the Scum team, in this game where most people are pretty experienced.
As I said earlier, killing Czar was the first thing that Makai advised us to do in Woof too, it's hardly a lesser known secret that he's a decent player.
I don't really think that trying to figure out who killed him is going to get you anywhere.

In your large post, you list redhood and Ouro as the people you have your eye on, but the reasons you give just feel like you're parroting other posters. Can you elaborate on these reads at all?

So you've been on me for some of my behaviour, but you yourself haven't really provided much beyond that. Fine, you've been inactive for the start of the day, but can you give some thoughts on some other people?
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=190205957&postcount=793Having reread the thread:
Vote: CornBurrito
You've done a lot of poking, arguing with others over mechanics/how to play, but I don't really feel like you've posted much of substance about your own views on other posters. You've been posting a lot of fairly empty fluff posts, and giving fluff reasons for voting, and when you eventually did post a read list was still omitting one read, and the rest of the reasons were fairly brief and unsubstantial. Plus arguing about mechanics is always a good way to seem active.
I'd still like Droplet to post a bit more, but I guess a vote is more useful on someone actually active.
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=190260467&postcount=862Vote: redhood56
You were one of the first people to gain suspicion yesterday, and that was never really cleared up for me completely. Today you've been barely active at all, you did make some "bold predictions," but I don't really put much stock in those without an argument to back them up, so:
Why do you think that Droplet is town? To me, she's not been nearly active enough to get a solid read on.
Vote: FluxWaveZ
Only really took it off to try to prompt Redhood into posting a bit more. I've got quite a bit going on today, but I should be around for the deadline.
Anyway:
Vote: FluxWaveZ
I'm really not getting town vibes from you. It feels like you're acting pretty much the same way you did as scum last time.
There's nothing but nebulousness here. The trademark "soft reads." There isn't any clear image of who CrimsonFist actually thinks might be scum or not. Just a bunch of observations that only lead to neutral opinions and null reads. He'll lean *slightly* towards someone, like Ty4on in Day 1, but that won't carry through in anything substantial at all (in fact, it lead to Crimson voting for someone totally different somehow).Carrying over from yesterday, I think CornBurrito's posts have been lacking in substance.
Orobolous and Droplet have been contributing very little too, although there's been at least excuses for inactivity in Droplet's case. I'd like to see both at least contribute more today. Neither care cases for lynching right now though.
Ty4on, I'm not sure what to think of, and my opinion on him is mostly dependent on how certain other people flip. Going off his posts alone, I'd probably lean slightly scum. But since you're top of my scum list right now and seem to be pushing the narrative that he's scum and I flipped to protect him, that makes me a little more confident that he might be town.
And Redhood still remains on my radar, although again, I want to see how he contributes today.
I want to go back through squidyj's posts at some point too.
Again, "everyone's grey." There are no hard stances because that won't be conducive to being a crowd-pleaser. Again, he'll lean slightly towards someone like Ty4on so that this doesn't come through completely obviously, but it's there.As for top town, honestly, nobody. Right now, I don't think anybody is standing out as obviously towny in the way that say, Cabot and Burb were in Woof, plus considering that there's a lot of very experienced players in this game, I feel like I could be very easily mislead. When we do start lynching scum, I'll form town reads based on who was initially pushing those lynches, but I don't really trust any other judgements at the moment.
If I had to pick one though, I've quite liked *Splinter's contributions today.
Sounds like a contradiction to what I'm going for, but it's also a contradiction to what he had been doing, which I pointed out here:Could also be a way to look like a good townie, defending the low hanging fruit, plus you get to throw suspicion on anyone actually going for them.
Crimson proceeded to scale it back and object to what I said by stating:But now that you've made another comment like this, I'm noticing that you're taking a particular liking to being a devil's advocate for redhood; going even further than Kawl.
'Course, redhood is pretty much neutral in his eyes, despite wavering between being townie and scum. The same as everyone else.Am I? Right now I don't really have strong feelings on Redhood. At first I did think he was fairly scummy, but neutral is about how I feel right now, maybe still leaning slightly scummy. If I'm defending him on certain points, it's more because I feel like your reasoning is flawed, rather than out of any strong reason to defend him.
I'm also considering how people reacted to Xam in Woof when looking at him and the various reactions, and Xam's case it was more inattentive town going after him rather than scum.
The questioning was from the two involved:Vote: Ty4on
I think if you flipped Town, my scum read of CrimsonFist would ease up a bit.
I have pretty much never interacted with Crimson so I don't quite follow. Is it because we look like scum buddies?
I'm curious about what link you're seeing between us too.
That was exactly what was in my mind. As I drafted that post it occurred to me that I had town read him while never really interacting with him. We're really looking like scum buddies :S
I mean you brought up a lot that isn't dependant on Ty, but a lot of us suspect Ty as well, and it's not like the two are unrelatedIt's a good argument, but why Crim before Ty?
flux said:long post
...really? That's it?Fuck me flux you convinced me with that. I did have some suspicions of you but that post was elaborate and made a lot ofto me.sense
Unvote
Vote: crimsonfist
That's what I don't quite get...It's a good argument, but why Crim before Ty?
So my opinion of that is only slightly different now. I'm convinced 1 of those 3 are scum, but if CrimsonFist were to flip scum, my opinion of CornBurrito wouldn't necessarily change right now (approaching null read), while my opinion that Ty4on is scum would increase significantly.
Yes I am a very simple man
Actually I saw all this Crimson suspicion but I wasn't sure, the. I thought flux was acting s little weird, but seeing everything together really got me thinkingNot that simple. You have reasons for suspecting Crimson that weren't clear other than somewhat aligning with Flux's.
Hold the phone corn man! Would you please elaborate on this?Vote: crimsonfist
Lets see where this takes us.

Thanks. I'm not entirely sold, and I'll tell you why - take those same arguments and frame them from the perspective of a townie, on D1, who has literally zero information.
Ooooooh man! I'm sorry but I have to ask. Are any of the avatars taken in OP? I can't see Avatars and mobile is fucking up.
RDogs is one of my favorite movies and god damn do I want one of those avatars.

Ok, we're running out of time here. I appreciate Flux's post, but I'm still leaning towards Crimson as town. I'm worried that we simply have a case of two townies duking it out inadvertently, and while I could honestly say that either of them COULD be scum, with Flux trying to pin a lot on Crimson or Crimson doing a somewhat ok job of blending into town. If I'm ranking the three main players of discussion for scuminess, I'd say:
Flux
Ty4on
CrimsonFist
VOTE: FluxWaveZ
I've already stated that I've felt Crimson is town, and that his vote to untie things last minute is an example of that.Why is Flux higher than me and Crimson?
Nothing was happening apart from a lynch slowly moving in my direction. I made like five posts in a row because the rest of town was silent for almost a half an hour.Ty, can you explain why you panicked like you did on D1? Just from your contributions today, I actually read you as Town. It's just that I still don't get why an experienced Townie would be panicking this hard over a pending lynch. That and the possible information gain are my main reasons for the vote.
I've tried prodding people whom u weren't clear of like Ouro (avoiding attention, but also busy), Droplet (kind of, I leaned town after our interaction), Splinter and now squidyj. Nothing has come out close to conclusive though.
I feel like Flux also downplayed a couple of points which don't fit his narrative, such as the fact that I have been taking a hard stance for most of today, and my flipping at the end of yesterday.
I was about to post another "Key Word," but the end of the Day encroaches and I wouldn't have the time to hammer it out. Should have just pre-typed it.Which leads us to the end of Day 1. There's no connection between Ty4on and CrimsonFist, but of course, CrimsonFist had to switch his vote at the last minute when Ty4on was about to get lynched to Mazre because "he didn't want a tie." I could post more about why I think that excuse is BS, but that might be enough for this post.
Unvote
Not that this matters at the time, considering we're 30 minutes away from the end and Corn is like, nowhere near the lead, but we've been pretty inactive as a whole and I probably shouldn't be having my vote on the one person encouraging activity.
No vote for the end of today? Huh.
Welcome Ty4on!

You have always been a professional with principles and you stick by your people, through thick and thin. You hardly can believe it that some of your pals are actually considering killing you in the name of money and personal gain. The crew was sacred, is it not? After all, you risked everything together! How could they do this to you?! You will not let them get away with it.
