Choosing the number 5 seems tacky, so I will go with number 2.

As far as random rolls to determine votes go, I understand the need to generate conversation, but admitting that the vote was completely random via dice roll kinda sucks all of the potentiom for debate out of it.

I said that I rollerd a dice and got 10. Do I need to add a picture of a dice to show that I was joking or everyone knows what a dice looks like?

And I still don't see the difference between that vote and all the ones before that one. The "gambling termas" seems like bullshit to me.

Well, I don't really have a problem with a random dice roll per say, and I wouldn't call it a scum tell. You would have to ask the Blue Ranger why they think it is suspicious.

I think Finsley and the Red Ranger's votes are the ones that make me raise an eyebrow. Finsley just doubled down on Rita's vote, which the Red Ranger just blatently stole the Black Rangers vote gimmick. Funny, but both might indicate a desire to blend in?

I noticed the same thing about Finley's vote but thought it was roleplaying.

If the keeps that vote there without a proper explanation is suspicious.

So are you spelling Finster's name wrong on purpose or...
No, I just can't remember the name "Finster" correctly off of the top of my head and was too lazy to doublecheck it. For some reason I never picked up Finster's name from watching the show. I just remembered him as alien statue guy.

I mean, the difference is that you're telling us your vote is randomated, instead of it being implied. It's something I want to note down because it's weird, and out of place shortly after day start. When something's weird I get a compulsion to say so.

And I did catch those hanger on votes, but thought it may or may not be something, so I'll reserve judgement until more info comes along.

The reactions to said random votes are more interesting to me so far.
Nothing especially telling though, since at the same, I think that the players not actually engaging right now are weirder.

It is still a little early to say who is engaged with the game or not thanks to timezones. Give the game 24 hours before we start making calls based on activity.
 
great witch bandora's hottakes reads so far, brought to you by ME, the great witch bandora!

zordon is SUPER SCUM cuz he won't get me my trophy and was super passive in the pregame not posting gifs while still being there. do not let this scum live lynch immediately mayday maday

finster is my loyal servent, super strong town 4 now unless i get a headache

red ranger is the worst red ranger ever. can't lead his team and has to vote by numbers. what a nincompoop!

green ranger doesn't like green.

trini is a no show, why are people voting for her she's not even here yet? all the people voting for her or being suspcious of her are super scummy right now. the worst!!!

THAT MEANS YOU PINK LOSER YOURE THE SCUMMIEST OF THEM ALL (except for zordon who is scummier yes)

kimberly is okay tho, i guess...?

black ranger is a nincompoop for thinking voting trini is a good reason, wtf kind of logic was that?

dice rolling has always been dumb, so white ranger is kinda dumb too, dunno if they're scummy scum scum yet tho...

skull thinks our day 1 is messy, wtf

blue ranger going after white ranger, i love it!!! ranger on ranger fighting makes me so happy! fight each other you silly people!

BANDORA'S ORDER OF SCUM TO ALLY RATIO IS LIKE: zordon > pink ranger > black ranger > red ranger > skull > blue ranger > white ranger > kimberly > finster > trini (cuz no show so far)

I disagree. Shortly after day start is when random votes are not out of place. Someone making a random vote during D5 is weird.
I agree with that. Someone posting that they're making a random vote is weird though, because I can usually infer that votes an hour from day start are random.

how did you FIND these people zordon?

That isn't how it reads at all. You posted your > list and it looks like you made Trini your most town because she hasn't posted.

Why even include her? You left other people out but felt the need to mention someone who hasn't done anything.

that's what the stuff in parentheses are for

and i included her because other people made (in my humble opinion as the greatest witch) scumtells by voting or voicing their opinion of her, which is good enough for now

Rita why are you so interested in planting seeds of doubt in my ranger team.

hello? rita repulsa? greatest evil in the world?

I always see people pre-emptively protecting people as scummy because no one knows Trini's alignment unless

girl are you gonna be in for a shock then when your preconceived notion falls apart.

I'm not scum reading you but I question your trust of a total unknown. Trini is probably town too but I don't see why anyone would put stock into that so early. What is your motivation?

my motivation?

to enjoy this donut while i watch angel grove get destroyed and i take over the world as the greatest witch of all time

and to lynch scum, but that's a distant third behind the donut and destroying angel grove

but why are YOU so bothered hmm? over a wee little trini on the readies list? hmmmmmm? i wonder...

Trini

Day 1 jitters. The vote is essentially random, unless some sort of pre-game power role shenanigans exist.

I'd say I'm not comfortable voting at this time, but honestly a D1 vote is never comfortable. Pink Ranger, you voted for me for not doing pre-game stuff. Fair enough.

Kimberly questioning you (and seemingly defending me) is appreciated. I am glad Pink and Kimberly had that little conversation. It lets me know they are invested in this game.

Rita I think your read about Zordon is strange given that I also didn't participate in pre-game and yet I was given a "too early" judgement.

which gives me some info on you if these people flip scum

you see?


bu tbig boy zordon was there...

and he didn't give me my trophy...

and he only posted one lousy stinking gif....

and he was pretty nonchalant about being voted on... (huge scumtell!!!! witch sense is always right here!!!)

and did i mention he's a lousy sticking no good judge? who made him judge anyhow...

oh wait...

top level gif usage but forget names. Look who is willing to engage, even in dumb ways, and who’s afraid to play or be a presence. Look at who interacts and who doesn’t. That’s a start, you know? And if you can’t look for scum yet just look for town.

Im not sure if it’s just because of all the unfamiliar names and such but the energy this d1 feels more energetic than what I’m Used too. Rita comes off looking good to me so far not only because she is giving a lot to work with at this early stage of the game even if most of it is kind of MEMEY sounding and she admits that it’s super duper preliminary. It is bold to put out a list before so many people have talked and I think it reflects well upon her

The RNG votes and Drive-by votes are common enough to players of any alignment in my experience so I find that the thing to focus on in relation to them is the responses to them. Reactions to bonuses like early lists, incomplete as they may be, are even better. Those who questioned the placement of Trini on the list? I think that was a very valid concern and so I do not believe it to be particularly indicative of being a scum at this point in time.

At the moment I am inclined to be suspicious of the one known as JASON for his response to the self proclaimed Bandora’s list. While I like that he was willing to definitively say he found the list strange, I believe that his question of why so many people were not on the list to be a strange concern to have. Many people had not posted at that stage of the game (My sunny self included), so it should have been self explanatory as far as I’m concerned. What would scum have to gain from that comment? It’s hard to say but I think that a scum player would not have had many options this early in the game, and an incomplete list provided a unique opportunity to call something into question. So for now I’m okay with leaving a vote on him.

I actually liked that post. Pretty solid read list, considering it was quick and dirty made on D1.

But your reflection is noted. I don’t mind your vote with weak reasoning, but now I’m unsure of your follow up.

It was the flippant nature of Rita saying they had an ally to scum list, but then saying they forgot people,

But they still included people that in that list that hadn’t really posted yet. I took it as a way for scum to obfuscate allies by leaving them off early read lists. If no one is talking about your scum teammates, or dropping votes, than they can hide in plain sight easier

How does it reflect well on anyone to put out a meme read list in the first 50 posts of the game? I get that you're calling out someone for saying this same thing, but she didn't even put in enough effort to look at the player list for that read list. It's just a joke, and shouldn't be making you think she's doing anything really helpful
 

Green Ranger

As someone mentioned, the energy is more energetic than usual. The random names seems to be making people more daring with their posts.

As for thoughts, none of the random vote responses really stood out. Rita is the player that's on my mind the most right now but that's probably due to their activity rather than their posts.
 

Black Ranger

Rita is just having a bit of fun. After all, what's the harm in joking around D1. Especially when it can illicit such interesting reactions from others. Almost certainly one of those reactions are from a Scum player trying to make themselves look as town as possible (even though Joke posts on D1 are NAI).

Besides, we don't have much to go on until someone flips and we can scrutinize peoples votes.


Yo, Billy. What's up?

*If he keeps that vote there until day end without a proper explanation is suspicious.

I appreciate that my character is a he in the show but I chose they/them as my pronoun.

Finster, what do you think of Rita's Hot Takes (TM)?

Honestly despite being my mistress, I take it as nothing more than a early day 1 quick list on where her thoughts are right now. I'd say it is NAI.

After all, it's really unlikely we are going to accurately get a scumtell this soon.

I feel it's more odd to mention 'oddities' outright on D1 when it's 1. D1 and 2. it gives Scum a chance to adjust. Better to wait for a bit so you have more of a case to argue than to mention the first 'odd' thing you see without anything else to build on it.

Considering the nature of this game, it’s obvious that scum will hard target PRs, even more than they usually do since there’s no way to know who are the “good players” based on meta reads and all that.

That’s why I think everyone should be extra careful not to needlessly claim. We’ve had a lot of that these last few games, so I think it’s important to at least point that out, even though I doubt most of you will heed this lol.

I'd agree with this, only claim if you absolutely have to. Right now the more PRs alive, the better the chance that we can get potentially gain more information to use in the later days.

Rita reads seem solid and she’s putting real work considering that it’s day 1 yet. If this is bold scum play, it will probably burn out quick.

I don’t follow her hot takes reads though since they seem based on “scum tells” and I can’t see those right now.

Suddenly I'm feeling better about my vote from earlier.

Will do my read list in a bit

I feel like read lists on Day 1, especially before 24 hours have elapsed to be a waste of time. What data would you have gleamed early on before people have even started their serious voting near the end of the day?

"This person made a joke. SCUM"

"This person is putting a lot of work in. TOWN for sure"

Seems like a waste of time, at least until the last few hours of D1.
 

Finster

yeah, no

nice try though

So you refute what I say? Because from where I'm standing your posts today have no real substance behind them. You can't just accuse someone of trying to look busy when your posts today don't make you look any better.

Nice try though like you said but you don't really have anything to make yourself look better either.
