I'm gonna keep asking because you're not making any sense to me. You thought you were going to Karkador's push but oops it was actually Kalor. So why don't you just tell us all the other reasons you'd go with either of those instead?
Yeah, it bothers me, too. Except I'm not getting a particularly scummy vibe off Zubz and I'm hesitant to flip if lovers. I'm a bit suspicious of anyone who's pushing that.
This is what it comes down to:
do we really think Zubz is scum? Do we think it enough to risk a lovers lynch if we're wrong? Despite Zubz being shady as fuck, it doesn't really feel like scum shady. It feels like kinda dumb gambit shady.
Scum's down one. 3-4 left; with neutrals, maybe/probably only three left. If we're gonna take the risk of losing two towns, we'd do it now. It's very possible they could be the neutrals.
But there are other things on the table and a whole lot of silence from some suspicious folks.
For them to be lovers we'll need to see kissing, with tongue
If it true that they are lovers, I'd assume scum would target them tonight anyways.
We're two hours away and several people have all but vanished for the majority of the day. There's coasting and then there's this.
I'm confused by this.
We would only find out if you live through the night? Surely, flipping you would explain immediately.
Again with the strange phrasing.
Reading is way overrated.
You feeling good about Zubz too?
Well, then. Things just got interesting.
Let's wait for Crimson to confirm.
Whoops. My mistake.
Thought he was finally giving some answers.
What is going on????
I'm taking crazy pills.
My heart says LP.
But I can't explain what Launch just did.
I don't see many vocal for LP atm. And no lunch, Fran and Zubz aren't great options.
Vote: LaunchpadMcQ
Here's another explanation for the apathetic day end. Scum would want town zubz dead instead of cewyn, but would prefer no lunch to losing a teammate. But a late push for no lunch out of nowhere looks bad when there are scummy players. So stay quiet and hope someone self incriminates. Launch almost did.
But there was no real pile up of votes on Zubz either. He never got far enough ahead to not be passed by anyone. Could it be that the two wagons (cewyn and Zubz) were both scum?
It wasn't that I didn't think he couldn't be scum. It's that I thought there were other possibilities that felt stronger to me. And I thought there were enough possibilities around that I did not want No Lynch to win.But why did you vote out Cewyn if you didn't think he was actually scum?
That's what I'm not getting here. It's like you placed your vote there so you couldn't be held accountable for your real opinions.
Placing a vote for Corn Burrito minutes after giving a read list of only low-activity players in context looked like you were throwing a dart at the wall and hoping for it to stick.
I guess in Lone Prodigy's case I was looking for more of an analysis. I noticed today you keep saying you think he's scum, but your reasons why come across as lacklustre.
Is he the token teammate your going to throw shade at all game to keep town confused?
I refuse to ever trust a Day 1 No Kill voter, especially one as experienced as Kark.
... Like, I'm going to be real right now. I've been accused of people looking too far into my votes for comfort. I know that's part of the game, but I came up with a strategy for this. So I haven't even read my Role PM, & have no idea who I am or what side I'm on. This is a blind vote. We're straight-up "Jotaro playing poker"-ing this. I defy any of you to try to read me for this.
Vote: Karkador
But how do you know where your guts are if you've never seen them?
How do you know I haven't?
Because CrimsonFist said you could reply or post in the thread to confirm. I mean, did you not read your Role PM or something? That's just careless.
Are you trying that same edgy threat that... Someone? tried yesterday? Because I'll just bail the thread. No reveal means no reveal!
... That said, we really are wasting time on what should've been a quick gambit. So yes, I read my Role. Ruin my fun, why don't you?
I can confirm that Zubz didn't read his Role PM, now ask me how I felt about that
I mean, 4 votes in the first couple of hours from the a chunk of the game I can't account for, plus Rac, and the guy that randomly voted for me without explanation, the guy that wasted so much discussion yesterday on the one thing I did that wasn't admittedly suspect & jumped right back into it rather than looking for who would kill nin, & the girl that's been latching onto others' votes all being among them... Seems pretty Scummy to me.
Ha ha, yeah. Reading that mad soliloquy you did while I wasn't there was hilarious! Almost as hilarious as you doing this without consulting me ha ha wow.
Fake Edit: ... Ok, so you were just impatient. I was snoozing, ma petite chou-fleur.
True. But my plan might still be working.
Acorns didn't get me to announce I read my PM here, nin did. Acorns is the one who clearly didn't check their Role PM. And my plan still might be working, but it might not be helping the town as much as I'd hoped.
Trust me, my a d o r i n g followers are going to have fun with this.
Glad to see some whiter voices speaking, even if they're not saying much.
Why are you voting now then, Kitsune? If this is about the typo, I feel genuinely torn up about it. If this is about my plan, that's for me to know, & for players to figure out. I fear I'm getting too obvious now, really.
Ooh! Ominous!
My gambit is only bumbled if I'm killed. It's not as good as it was at first, but I'm still in it.
I do agree that we shouldn't dogpile on anyone, though. Which Isaac did on my vote for Kark, & now Kitsune's doing on me. There was little deliberation in both cases other than a "me too;" they're both worthwhile targets, but Imm holding onto my prod vote for now.
So first of all? You seem way too knowledgeable for a new player based on your previous posts. I'm, like, 99% certain someone's giving you suggestions & hot tips about this game outside of this thread. This doesn't inherently mean "Scum," but it's definitely likely. Granted, could be a Lovers type deal (I mean, come on, my first GAFia game had me on a team with TWE; no way I'd ignore a teammate).
I'd feel bad voting for a new player, but it seems Cewyn's just dropped out, & Scum is Scum.
You are right, though. These machinations are high risk, high reward. But the reward will be worth it if it pans out.
I have never once said I have gotten information from these machinations yet. I said I might get information later. I can't be more blunt than this right now.
If your vote on franconp was exactly the kind of thing franconp was accusing me of doing, I might actually collapse. More importantly, now I'm tied with No Kill while franconp is less likely to win. Damn you, Karkador, I may have to vote No Kill.
You have been talking about this for awhile. And Wee. Then Wee used it to kick sand around everywhere. That was absolutely just a mistake; I'll even concede my gambit was "fucked up" in a way. But it's still ongoing, and will explained if I live through the night.
... If the Scum already have what I meant by this figured out and nobody else does, I'll... I dunno. Sit in sad silence for a minute.
I meant that it'd be smarter to go for Kitsune if there's a chance she's scum, rather than going after Cewyn for being quiet.
I didn't try to take control of discussion today, though, I expected a different result that wouldn't pay off until later, & still hasn't paid off. I can't be more blunt without laying all my cards on the table.
Because franconp wasting so much discussion time on me using the wrong phrase seemed counterproductive, counterlogical, & francly I believe it was an intentional distraction, especially because I fear the Scum figured out the gambit & are using this vagueness against me to kill me before it happens.
Absolutely. I'll give more coherent thoughts later, but you were making it very clear you were trying to bait me into voting for Cewyn at a time where you could easily away the vote between me & him due to the tie situation going on there.
My guess is you realized that my "gambit" meant I had to be a power role & wanted me dead D1. To minimize risk/give yourself an easier D2, you tried to tie me to someone you ironically knew was scum but wasn't worth saving due to inactivity... Which is hilarious (I'm sorry to hear you had a bad weekend, though, Cewyn!). But I really don't think your plan's working, outside of the obvious "waste everyone's time & take up voting space" deal.

He's going to spill...guts!Yeah, none of what Zubz says makes sense for lovers - but a lot of his stuff is contradictory regardless. And it's pretty clear at this point he isn't going to spill even if he has anything.
Possible scum list:
melonrabbit
CornBurrito
kitsunelaine
LaunchpadMcQ
No need to claim.
Hmmm. Could you explain my inclusion here? My only issue is not being as attentive as I should be, I think, and checking on what seems to be the consensus rather than voting my own way. I'm curious to hear your reasonings, though.
The thing about forum mafia that I wasn't prepared for is that there is so much reading. So much. (I'll catch up, I swear). But for now... I claim generic town. It's an easy claim, for sure, but I believe an honest one.
@chicken, not going to say who I think the pair is, want to protect them from scum.
So Masons, maybe? Or a neutral team w/abilities?
especially considering how out of the multiple people I cleared last night, none of those 5 were among them.

VOTE: Zubz
If I wasn't on my phone in bed, I would be posting a hellacious gif right now. So just close your eyes and imagine it. What a gif. Wow.

hey_monkey and franconp, I want you two to Role-claim now.
What, did he stiff you on your retainer? I'm interested in what this ultimatum might cause.
*interrupt*
Behavioral shifts. Could be newness, might be coaching. And weird statements like that. You believe it's honest? It either is or it ain't.
And I don't believe you're vanilla town.
First forum games are hard. You'll be suspected and meanwhile you're trying to figure everything out. I know. But your d1 was erratic in a whole new way.
Do you have reason to believe I'm not vanilla town? Also, my D1 was full of misunderstandings born from not reading properly. And of course I believe it's honest! I'm the one making the statement! It either is or isn't, but in my case, I know it is. Of course, I don't expect you to believe me. I just expect you to have good reason to believe otherwise.
I do have reasons. Maybe it'll pan out, but not much point getting into it now. Don't sweat it; it's a list and it shifts. Regardless, a whole bunch of apparent nothing is going to happen until Zubz either comes with something new or is lynched. Kinda sucks. Game goes stagnant. But it is what it is.
Absolute trash statement. You, are encouraging this episode while blatantly not committing yourself to it. We lynch Karkador for being a non-committal vacuum, or franconp for tunnelling.
Let's go over Zubz roleclaims, plans and machinations:
Zubz says he has a plan:
So, Zubz spent a lot of time hinting an informative PR and talking about gambits and ways to obtain info but his claimed role doesn't check out at all with this.
- He says his plan is still working.
- He says his plan will only fail if he is killed.
- He says that there is a big risk but a bigger reward, really weird for a Lovers role (going to come back to this post later).
- He says he can get information later (being Lovers? HOW?).
- He says he will explain if he lived through the nigth (we are still waiting on this).
- He says he is worried of scum figuring out.
- He says he will obtain info in the future (again; BEING LOVERS WITH BLARG).
- He is afraid that scum will kill him before he can make the gambit happen (Do you see a pattern here).
- He says that his gambit, the one that will pay off in the future and has big risk but a possible big reward is his PR (which again: IS BEING LOVERS WITH BLARG.).
*redact*
If I may, it would behoove you to suggest an alternative in such depth, franconp my dear

Batshit theory: What if Zubz has a role that benefits from being lynched?
