I don't think the fact that you're making it up as you go along indicative that you're scum. I was just pointing stuff out. It's obvious that you don't really know what you're arguing about. I think that the sheer recklessness and disregard in your posts makes me think you're leaning town.

Since when did I say I trusted him? I merely pointed out it shows an eagerness to contribute. Even admitted that it was small.
What do you think of Topo's posts after you voted for him?
Anyhow, thoughts on other players? I need help finding the emergency exits in this tunnel.
Darrly pls
It's spreading.
I'll spell his name right when he stops ignoring me.

I think he can only focus on one player at a time. Are you sure you want that?

I didn't vote for Topo.
But his vote for me is "masquerading as contributing", in his words.
Interesting how you said earlier you weren't reading because Day 1 is usually meaningless to you, yet now you've got a readlist of people. Which implies you HAVE been reading...?
Also normally I'd find voting for Blarg to be the easy way out, but Blarg seems like he's coasting more than usual.
Oh, right, sorry for misremembering.
I kinda liked his replies and his aggression. Didn't agree with them, but he seemed genuinely angry at your comment.
1)
You only explain that you thought LP his read post read like scum trying to look active later.
2) You say his posts has nothing of value, but it has a vote for ferret in it with reasoning. I don't think many people have given their opinions on ferret yet, so LP explaining his suspicion of Ferret is valuable to me. That doesn't mean I necessarily agree with LP his assessment, I personally don't think Ferret his triangle remark was some kind of scum play to get us to focus on those three, but it is an interesting observation, especially when most conversation up until this point did seem to be about the ty4on-darryl and sophia-ty4on conversations.
3) This point I will agree with you. People have lives and you can't expect them to immediately start contributing within 24 hours. Some people will choose to only post fluff when they have little time until they can make time to really read the thread, and thats fine.
Hey guys sorry for my semi-absence today, I'm mostly keeping up with the thread but I'm taking some days off from work after today and I have to leave everything ready at the office. Also I'll be away from home til monday but that shouldn't impact my activity levels, plus I think most of that time will be in-game nighttime so yeah.
There's no real reason why I chose Ty4on other than the fact that he stuck out to me as someone that looked like scum trying to find posts to make. Someone like Sophia was already making a lot of posts so wanting to comment on the flavor of the minute isn't a stand out behavior.
There's someone like Sawneeks but that one is probably for meta reasons in that I tend to call Sawneeks out a lot in the start of every game we've been in and I don't wanna run the same loop every game. It's not that I didn't notice Sawneeks did it, I just didn't wanna talk about it.
still catching up but i need to answer the important question first.

Oh no, my plan, you've figured it out.
Just because I think something is nothing doesn't actually mean it's not something. So sometimes getting a second opinion on small things is nice. Besides there wasn't much else going on at the time.
Besides while the interactions between the three if them may be "minimal at best" there were interactions, Ty voted for Sophia, Darryl voted for Ty, and Ty made his point about the Sophia-Darryl combo. So I felt like it was a fair question to ask.
Alright, real talk. Is it just me or is there a whole lot of absurdity, fluff, and silliness even for Day 1?
Some of you are playing like dog crap.
Blargonaut's being more useless than usual.
We have SalvaPot, who has somehow convinced himself that Day 1 is meaningless, but he's not reading. But he's reading enough to put out a reads list. He's also doing a whole lot of fuck all as far as I can tell.
We have Nin who can't comprehend the advantages and disadvantages of a Day 1 lynch vs no lynch, and basically wants to no lynch to satisfy his preference for a night start.
Joining Nin we have CM and Bronx man on the "OMG YOU SUSPECT ME WHY DON'T YOU VOTE FOR ME OR I GUESS I'M SCUM" shtick
Speaking of Bronx-Man, this is his only contribution so far beyond the above post.
Can we hear some more form you, mister Bronx-Man?
We have El Topo, who on top of reading comprehension issues, also seems to think we're apparently doing a whole lot of nothing. Reads and opinions are a good way to catch people in contradictions later down the line, very useful. Yes, some read lists are fluff, some will give too much information to the scum team, but that doesn't mean they don't have value to town. Likewise, establishing relatonships is valuable to the game as town. You need to know who you can trust; therefore you need to ask questions and stuff.
Also, if you're gonna do a questionnaire, do it and get it over with.
Personally, I'd rather see an actual attempt at scum hunting
I wish I could vote multiple people at once, but alas I'm limited to one person. At any rate, step up your game people. Or sub out. I want to play Mafia, and I fucking hate people who treat Day 1 like it doesn't matter.

that was fast. Get Sophia a medal for finding scum on D1

Also, prod vote on Bronx-Man, because I'd like to hear more from him and the only two posts by him are not confidence inspiring.
Vote: Bronx-Man
Thank you for at least saying this. Although I think it's unnecessary for you because you've provided a little bit here and there if I recall right.

So between going from this tab to work and back again I somehow lost most of my quotes.
the hell, gaf.
so i'm breaking this up into pieces. sorry!
Gotcha. So when people do end up null-reading you it's not because your scum, right? Thanks for the heads up, Mr. Rocket.
Roy, my friend, buddy, pal.
This feels safe as hell.
Lot's of comments about what happened and some light opinion here and there but nothing concrete. Afraid to put your foot down? I see that, later, you went in on the whole Topo and LP thing and finally started discussing but I want your opinions. Who stands out to you? What do you think of the Fluff Squad who keep making drivebys? Why is Litten superior to Rowlet in every way?
Just looking for clarification. Is the 'That Post' you are referring to the one where Darryl placed his vote on you and called you out?
I was going to say it to Blarg but it was late and I was tired, so I'll start here.
Explain your votes, people.
You can place down a vote on someone you think is scummy but unless you explain why your vote is there we have NO idea what you are trying to accomplish. Scum easily hide behind no explanation votes and come in later to give their reasons instead of having it be in the moment, which can be used against them later.
So yeah, could you explain your vote please, Gorlak?
So you think it's a Scum 'safe conversation' or two friends testing the waters kind of 'safe'?
:c
No worries. Hope work slows down for you, Kawl.
the hell, gaf.

Yes.
It feels safe as hell because it is safe as hell. Roy's had a lot of fluff posts too, but I didn't single him out in my post because he's had a few posts here where he's been asking questions and stuff.
I don't have much of a read on Roy (town Roy is also quite safe IIRC), but this reads a bit as trying to have all the opinions.
I did comprehend them, but it has become now tiresome to say once again that it is a personal preference. I prefer that there be a no lynch on Day1 full stop.
yep, i would prefer that a game would start on Night glad you understood that.
But you also have to quote me saying that if it comes down to it i will make use of my vote on D1.
Stay classy

Had the worst day ever at work. I'm ready to play and be productive. Especially now that Splinter is here. Did I jinx it?
Following post with more thought is forecoming (on mobile)

So do you have anything to say about the rest of the game perhaps? Reads? Observations? Gonna put down that vote? Gonna scum hunt?
You haven't really done a whole lot of anything except state your preference for a no lynch while providing yourself an out in "well if I have to I'll vote for someone!"

But hitting the multi-quote button just feels so good... Serious question though: Would you guys prefer if I split my posts into smaller chunks? (I'm doing this as an extra post already for better "quotability". More relevant post in a few minutes.)
I don't really have any preference myself, but it might be easier to group relevant things together?
It's a combination of things, really.
Mostly it's because I don't feel the need to move it quite yet. I agree with Splinter that his odd Day 1 vote suggestion is not necessarily alignment indicative, but I have seen Scum come in on Day 1 before and propose odd things ( with inconclusive explanations behind it ) before just to start and join in a discussion to seem active.
Currently I'm waiting to see how he acts as the Day goes on since, so far, it's mostly just been the Vote suggestion from him. Once that happens I will go from there.
Just because you unvote doesn't mean I won't stop asking you to explain why you voted in the first place.
So please, enlighten me, Blarg. Why did you vote for Stan? Do you think he is Scum?
Responding to these together even though they are out of order. You gave the method as an alternative to the Day 1 vote yet you don't think it was better? Then why bring it up at all?? I feel like we will be going in circles on this but your reasoning for bringing this up ( plus the logic behind it ) aren't adding up to me. Considering this is also the only thing you have really discussed so far it's not helping my general opinion of you.
But to get a break from that, I do want to hear your thoughts. Goings on of the Day, players, Fluff posters, etc. etc.
The usual stuff.
While I appreciate not having to do the same song-and-dance again, if you see something that sticks out to you why you wouldn't call that out? :/
Why are you focusing so much on Nin?
Mmmmno?
No more than usual I mean, and progressing at a reasonable rate.
Why would you like us to believe that today is being wasted?
And btw I think you are wasting your time if you take Salva's posts at face value.
Yes, i will.
you being abnormaly strenuous
Maybe
Well, i still have time in order to do "stuff" on the other hand the only thing you did was cling onto things. I mean i would support that way of playing if you would call out everyone . Since we have time left i have hope that you will understand what i am tiping and do that.
Have a nice day
Mobile users will thank you profusely for keeping to one topic per post o7
Let's not downplay LP's criticism though. His complaint (I think) was that your responses were relative useless one liners. The fact that you had included many points in one post was really more of a passing comment (or, I guess, an accusation that you were intentionally inflating the length of your posts to feed that "infrequent but thoughtful" image of yours. That works too)
Because it's my current train of thought. Also he was first to reply to my post out of all the people I singled out.
I will give you that we're definitely picking up pace at least. Also, some people feel like tehy're doing a good job (Sawneeks, who I'm town reading. Ty4on, who I'm neutral on. Yourself, Darryl, etc)
The El Topo discussion was also pretty good now to see where others stood in regards to his stance, so there's that too.
And perhaps I'm wasting my time, but there's a whole lot of silliness from Salva on page 2 (100 posts per page) so I don't know what to think of him.
I'm going to eat dinner, be back later.
Hey I got a vote before I even joined the game. That's presumably some sort of record so I'm pretty stoked about that.
I have a few but I wanted to re-read some things first.
With the way work is going though I probably won't be able to get to that for a few hours at least. I'll post them when I get some time and you can answer them when you come back.

I'm very glad we're shifting away from this Darryl/Ty4on/Sophia stuff because from what I've read they can handle that on their own (without interference) just fine and nothing about the conversation screams "Scum!" in the slightest. I'm not saying they're necessarily Town (though I think Darryl/Ty4on as WW is very unlikely at this point) but I'm not willing to vote on any of them based on what they've shown so far.
Much more interesting I find topo's behavior. Seems kind of nervous.
Or the fact that L_P actually isn't really coasting. Whatever that means.
Or SalvaPot not giving a single shit. I'm not sure if I've actually seen him play and I may be WIFOM'ing myself here but that pushes him towards the Town camp in my book.
_/¯ Just stating facts about previous games here. Another fact: I never got NK'd so far.

Why do you post this and then don't make a follow-up?
¯\_(ツ
_/¯ Just stating facts about previous games here. Another fact: I never got NK'd so far.was there a post where you stated reasoning for townreading her?
Your current line of thought being focusing on one single player ?
Well i hope you will find peace by that young one.
No, that itself is the post where I state I'm townreading her. "still" refers to a past game, as much as anything, which is the only real reasoning I can give for townreading her.
She works her way through the thread questioning everyone, she "seems" town to me, and reminds me strongly of her past town performance.
I've been town reading her too. Do you have anything that in particular makes you suspect of her or is it just a general read?
(Not dissin a general read. It can be useful if I've overlooked stuff too.)
You were the first person to reply to my post. Others I mentioned haven't. Thus, it was my current train of thought. So I looked back at your posts other than the ones about the Day 1 Lynch vs No Lynch discussion.
Anything in particular making you scum read her or just a null?
Curious of your thoughts on Gorlak and L_P as well if you have any.
