Fancy giving us your highlights then?Started reading page 2, realized it was fluff, went to the bottom, read more fluff, stopped.
I guess I'm caught up now?
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
I appreciate that my character is a he in the show but I chose they/them as my pronoun.
Oh and to get that also out of the way.
i am PRO LYNCH.
Just to make it clear for now
I don't know how many other people feel like this but the lack of known names was never going to make me change my mind about lynching D1. I've never picked a lynch on D1 because of past behaviour so this game wasn't going to be any different.
I think he meant the second one, at least that is how I read it originally. As in, even if we go for a no-lynch, Scum will NK someone so we'll have connections (Did the person they NK get close to figuring out who a scum player is, etc) and a new situation that is different from fumbling about in the dark with no data like we're currently doing as it's D1 and all.
you seem to be the closest to that we have right now
Tempted to place a vote on you Zack, because I don't agree that Black Ranger is trying to present himself as a town leader (no moreso than any of the other active posters). But then I think, would scum really be acting like you? And I don't think so.
So right now there is conflict between Tommy and Goldar. That makes either of their flips potentially more valuable than just voting for someone at random.
Granted that doesn't mean either of them is mafia, but I think for right now:
Vote: Tommy
we should go after @Tommy and @White Ranger instead
Started reading page 2, realized it was fluff, went to the bottom, read more fluff, stopped.
I guess I'm caught up now?
Do you have something better than a OMGUS post?
Or are people not allowed to change how they feel throughout the game?
Why are you answering questions directed to another player?
I just finished work. OM is blocked there so I can just post from home.
Sorry. I didn't realized that the player list had pronouns as they are usually before the name. Will check them properly the next time.
You wanted to squirrel out of your previous vote and park it on someone else. That's fine. But vote switches are more apparent the closer we get to the deadline. Get in on a wagon early and it makes the vote look organic and naive.
Not squirreling out of anything. I'd be comfortable keeping my first vote but why do that when I feel more strongly about voting for someone else.
There isn't even a train yet so I'm not getting into a train early. I'm just voting for someone who's posts I didn't like.
yeah, no, I know. I didnt mean it that way either. I just plucked a keyword from that conversation.I had no intention of commenting on meta in my posts.
Swap meta out with flavor.
Well, yeahDid you want to discuss it or something? Seemed like a reaction vote.
im as chill as I can beAnd why are you so bothered by a vote on you? There's a lot of time to day end, and it appears like you're uncomfortable.
fair enough. I still think that's what he was going for@Zack
I will say I think that is a much better read of Black Rangers posts but not at all indicative of being a town leader for me.
Over-active and inserting themselves into many conversations. I will say I had similar thoughts to black ranger but they seem pretty obvious when you put them all together.
Rita makes a big effort/nonsense read list, probably town player playing loosely.
People calling posts weird, I think there were several people who called the game weird in their first few posts.
The point of the game is to defy meta, obvious.
My question to Trini was pretty obvious but trying to make her think harder
I think the overeagerness is probably town but Black Ranger continues with high volume posts they should be better.
I don't see where people were town reading Rita? Posted a bunch of nothing early and just came back. Let's see what she does over the next few hours.
Waiting for Tommy to talk about not me because his hasty unvote was supposed to be the end of it, unless he got the reaction he was looking for, in which case jump back into that good ol' tunnel.
And that whole manufactured conflict is so funny, and by "funny" I mean "hey you wanna start two wagons here?"
The whole no lynch discussion was safe and 100% NAI. "Well gee I'm surprised someone brought it up but I really think we should lynch because X and Y." "I agree, because no lynch is totally a scum move, and I'm totally not scum."
fair enough. I still think that's what he was going for
i don't understand your last line. what should be better? their posts?
fair enough. I still think that's what he was going for
After going back over the thread, there is someone who stands out so far:
Vote: Green Ranger
The Green Ranger has been constantly present regularly in the thread so far, but he hasn't posted too much and has avoided directly pressing anyone so far. A lot of talking about rules and the game in general terms, a gif or two, and getting confused by Bulk's hotlinking error, but not much actual engagement in arguments.
I think it is worth applying some pressure over.
I don't know how many other people feel like this but the lack of known names was never going to make me change my mind about lynching D1. I've never picked a lynch on D1 because of past behaviour so this game wasn't going to be any different.
worst green ranger post
slightly reeks of #scumtell™ and of a lying liar who lies, don't believe for a second that past behavior hasn't influenced people
also doesn't have a vote down which is slightly reeking of #scumtell™ too
Of course past behaviour influences people. I did say in my post after that, that it isn't something that I can completely ignore. I'm just not going to mention meta when making an argument against someone.
I already explained it a couple pages back, and I'm not sure what you mean by weird. Any vote has a justification, even joke votes and prod votes so you're really grasping at straws here. I found White saying he randomized his vote to be weird so I voted for him, what more to your vote is there aside from you not liking me not liking his random vote?Well, yeah
I usually interpret people not commenting on a D1 vote they received as wishing it just goes away by itself
I don't buy that whole thing you had with white's vote being random random at all. its something i'd usually just brush off as "weird" and move on, but you actually put down a vote there and tried to justify it, which means it was a real vote, and not just a prodding one
walk me through that, please
im as chill as I can be
fair
i guess
but why no vote?
take a stand
this is page 9
at least hate on zordon
Vote: Goldar
He seems far too upset about that early vote on him despite the fact there is no train against him yet. Feeling bad about him because of that and some of his posts in response to Black is making him seem rather scumish to me.
He had no real reason to be nervous over one vote yet he got very defensive over it. That's a big enough scumtell to me that I feel comfortable voting for him.
So right now there is conflict between Tommy and Goldar. That makes either of their flips potentially more valuable than just voting for someone at random.
Granted that doesn't mean either of them is mafia, but I think for right now:
Vote: Tommy
does not think Tommy is mafia but votes TommyAnd of course Zack comes in with a post right after I submit mine opening up a conflict between themself and Pink Ranger.
I was thinking about who to put my initial vote on.
Vote: Yellow Ranger
I want to hear more from them.
is that... really... conflict??
this feels like a reach...
you should be upset too, zordon
the green one didn't even take my advice of voting on you
i gave them the perfect advice to act as cover, and they couldn't even be bothered
instead they went for the yellow ranger with a whopping three posts
doesn't that just make you mad?
it makes me mad
I'm going to say we would see more connections when people start campaigning for their lynch prospects instead of this early.For D1 that's about the only real level of conflict you'll get. There seems to be a bigger beef between Zach and Pink Ranger though.
@Black Ranger what's your opinion on Blue Ranger?
Hot air: vague and empty. And now you default to self defense instead of trying to move the game.
What else you got?
Apart from justifying your Jason vote, the rest of your (2) posts were fairly vague.
But you're here now and have the chance to prove people wrong. Who else is standing out to you and are you still happy to leave your Jason vote there?
Null
The first few posts are a whole lot of nothing, there is some suspicion over Finsters early vote which as Finsters said later on was mostly an attempt at roleplaying and his last few posts is just a comment on how random votes after day start is not out of place and making a comment about someone's deflection.
So with what we have to work on, I wouldn't be against lynching White but that depends on if he comes back and gets busy scum hunting I guess.
I will say, I'm actually also interested in the responses to the random votes as well. Not saying more than that because I don't have anything else besides that but it's given me a few players to keep an eye on and see how things go from here.
You are really defensive over that vote huh@Black Ranger what's your opinion on Blue Ranger?
You are really upset about that vote on you, huh? It's just an early Day 1 vote to see reactions like all the other ones in here. Yeah, I did it a little differently than others, but the way that you're still upset about it is weird. You act like I could really build off of that much, when you had a total of 2 posts until recently where you've just been OMGUS'ing like crazy
Vote: Goldar
He seems far too upset about that early vote on him despite the fact there is no train against him yet. Feeling bad about him because of that and some of his posts in response to Black is making him seem rather scumish to me.

I find that weird. You haven engaged with him at all even when you have talked with pretty much everyone else.
Also you completly dismissed that I called him out for his weird vote for me at the start of the day when you made the list of all my post:
Bad play or not, Black Ranger is not getting lynched today and is worth keeping around since he's "having fun".
Bad play or not, Black Ranger is not getting lynched today and is worth keeping around since he's "having fun".
You are really defensive over that vote huh
Didn't see anything to engage with him. He's pretty forgettable as have you been up until your last few posts. That post of mines with all your posts was pretty much for the benefit of anyone else who has forgotten you.
Fuck off with this condescending crap.
But you called all my exchange with Blue a whole lot of nothing even when you said that it was interesting before. If Blue flips scum I think I want to go after you next.
Justification was fine. An example would be everyone yelling out animal names like 'I'm a falcon' or 'I'm an Eagle' and then you proceed to say 'I am definitely a human, but I'll say I'm a Sparrow'. That shit is weird.Well, your justification was weak.

To be clear, I think you are present, but not very active. I think you are checking the thread regularly and keeping up, but you are only actually posting irregularly when you see something that is easy to respond to.I'm surprised you think I'm active here. I definitely don't feel like I am. As for my posting, I'm just struggling to get a clear opinion right now.
Found her playstyle solid, not her reads. I think both are interchangeable. Her reads changed since then though.> D1 reads
> Solid reads
pick one.
And D1 is the easiest day to fluff up your post count. It isn't particularly bold scum play, though I don't think Rita is scum at the moment.
Why not do it yourself? Do you think placing an OMGUS vote would be enough to get you lynched today?Someone drop a vote on one of these guys. I'd do it for "bad reads" but I'd be just OMGUS'ing.
Do you think he is scum?
- I don't like Blue Ranger. His justification on a vote because "gambling terms" seems like bullshit and just a lazy excuse for a vote.
He is my biggest scum lean. I have said before that I didn't liked his posts:
I wanted to see how Goldar would react if I removed the vote right away. Whether he would try to slip into the background or something else. And he only responded when you pointed this out and had a way to throw some light shade at me for it.
So basically just because they voted you for using a die for your vote?He is my biggest scum lean. I have said before that I didn't liked his posts:
why should we vote for your vote if you can't even stick with it for more than a single page?
34 posts
that's how long your pathetic OMGUS vote lasted....
Fuck off with this condescending crap.
Fuck off with this condescending crap.
Real identities won't be revealed until the game ends.@Sawneeks @melonrabbit We will know the real identity of the player after they flip or we must wait until game end?
So basically just because they voted you for using a die for your vote?
Please watch the language.
Even though this is a costume game, everyone here are still people you know. Please watch the aggression and insults.
It's Day 1 so I like to vote for information and if Blue flips scum I want to look more into Bulk and why he attacked my vote and Black who isn't interacting with him and dismissed the whole conversation.
Where did I attack your vote on someone else calling it random? It was entirely because it was a weird vote.No because he attacked my vote on someone else calling it random and when I asked why he didn't do the same with the previous five random votes the justification was weird. He didn't liked gambling terms.

I was voting to prove a point, not because he's my strongest final scum read of the day.

Because this isn't Yugioh. We're not heart of the cards-ing over here, when someone mentions RNG it gets me jumpy.
What other explanations were you expecting?
Hey man, gambling terms are a trigger warning for me. I'm interested in how random votes are worded rather than otherwise.
Oh, yeah, that was definitely a random vote. Didn't understand the post at first because I read it as one line.Do you know what the "R" in "RNG" stand for?
Also:
I mean, if I’m scum coming in late for the party, I will at least try to behave at first.
And I explained why I didn't care previously. Same logic, if everyone is wearing bird costumes and you for some reason want to shout out that you're a human, then sorry, that's odd as fuck.

Bulk and why he attacked my vote
Look at this picture and tell me I'm scum.
I rest my case.
Vote: Skull
cmon dude why are you not defending your flavor bro, we have something special here
This is a weird generalization. Not everyone plays the game the same. I don't see the relation between coming late to the game and not being aggressive.
Look above ^^Of course it was a random vote. It was less than an hour after the game started. But also were random the five votes before mine.
If the only justification you have to make a non random vote is because I used the word "dice" in my post of course it would raise some red flags to me.
Is this where Bulk "attacked" your vote?
Look above ^^
It's not the vote itself that startled me, it was your need to make known it was random.
coming in late draws attention to yourself
scum don't want attention drawn to themselves
therefore the obvious thing to do is.... do an omgus vote and draw all the attention to yourself
???
profit?
You assume a Scum would do the obvious thing (not draw attention to yourself) but if a scum person anticipates posts like yours then it's not unlikely that they are doing it purely as a bold scum play. Act so scumish that people think you're town.

Of course they don’t, Mafia would suck if they did.This is a weird generalization. Not everyone plays the game the same. I don't see the relation between coming late to the game and not being aggressive.
otherwise i'm running with his actions not making sense as scum and giving him a day 1 pass
clarification: giving him a day one pass on THIS PARTICULAR SUBJECT
Because that was what stood out to me?And that's scummy because......?
Oh, ok.
Still seems like a stretch to me.
Why would scum stick its neck out to defend a random vote?
Don't know how experienced Blue is as scum so I can't judge that. I have seen newbie scum making mistakes before.
But I want to lynch Blue because in my mind I have already linked him to two other players so if I want to lynch for information today he is my biggest candidate.

Then are you going to vote for him or do you have a close second that you'll vote for instead?
Most likely. I'm going to wait until tomorrow before I leave for work to see what is posted while I'm sleeping.
And that may be my last post of the phase as I don't know if I will be around later. I definitely won't be around at day end as I have tickets for Deadpool at the same time.
Going by that same logic I'd say lynching you would tell me about Zack defending your vote. But, how much information do you have to link players already?

Goldar’s aggressiviness so far is leaning me towards reading him town. Only a lean though since his posts have pretty much zero substance, considering he’s playing full defense so far.
I mean, if I’m scum coming in late for the party, I will at least try to behave at first.
Oh, I definitely agree. That’s something I’ve been thinking of due to Rita’s posts, since they seem to come with the assumption that town and scum players will play perfectly in line with their aligments 100% of the time.See though, we assume scum play perfectly. But that's a losing assumption I think. If scum play perfectly we won't win except with power role shenanigans. Otherwise scum makes mistakes, and those mistakes are behavioral. Usually the best evidence is voting record, but not always. Imagine if you were a scum player and its D1 and people are calling you out for being inactive. You might very well panic and start being aggressive.
I
Man so many armchair psychologists in this game. I'm simply pointing out the flaws in the arguments and reads people have against me. If that's OMGUS then I'm guilty.
I now have a better read on some players so it wasn't just all brimstone and bluster.
OMGUS would be an actual vote for you, like this.

Oh look at that big gap! Says one thing, and then an hour later says another! So much flip flopping from our town leader!
Felt cool abot Tommy. I didn’t find odd his quick unvote on Goldar when he showed up. In fact I’ve seen that constantly; prod joke votes for the no show up until he actually appears in the thread. Nothing worth mentioning to me.
But then this post:
This seems like such a bullshit dial back to me. Why would you feel the need to justify that unvote? Goldar had zero posts on the game, what reaction could you possibly expect to get from him?
