I finally I'm here and could catch up:
Why does Rita comes off looking good? For a flavour filled list? Come on, that list was mostly a joke from my point of view.
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.
I hate this post sooooo much. Not only because the no lynch implication but also because I fucking know who could make this post so the costume gimmick is dead there. I will link Billy to that player for the rest of the game.
Is this your second game?
Why are you answering questions directed to another player?
That's a stretch. I don't see Black as a town leader at all.
So you are tempted to vote Zack but you don't think he could be scum? I don't understand.
Why are you pointing out the conflict between Tommy and Goldar and not the several conflicts before that one.
I just finished work. OM is blocked there so I can just post from home.

OMGUS would be an actual vote for you, like this.
VOTE: Black Ranger
I would've pointed it out regardless of who you voted for. But I noticed it more since it was for me, because I'm vain like that.
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.

No reason outside of putting what I thought it was/how I read it.
aww OM is blocked? Sucks when that happens.
Finster

No worries! It's easy to make a simple mistake like that.
Black Ranger
Costume Account
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.
everything goldar has posted so far makes me feel bad, even if i can't put specifics on it
Goldar
Costume Account
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."

That post of mine must've been really something, huh.
Zack
Costume Account
yeah, no, I know. I didnt mean it that way either. I just plucked a keyword from that conversation.
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 enough. I still think that's what he was going for
i don't understand your last line. what should be better? their posts?
Tommy
Costume Account
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
Pink Ranger
Costume Account
If they are going to jump into every conversation, that is their choice, then they should make sure the posts have ome value beyond making simple observations.
Black Ranger
Costume Account
I'm just going to stomp this right here. No I wasn't going for town leader in any way shape or form but I can at least see how it could come off as that.
My inserting myself into every conversation was just me trying to have fun and enjoy the game by being active. Every post here is up for discussion regardless of who posts what. If a question is directed at another player, it does not mean other people can't comment on it or scrutinize it.
I was super into the game at the start which is WHY I posted so much. I was having fun and trying to stimulate discussion with other people even if it meant commenting on other conversations that are going on.
But It seems to have come off to everyone as
1. Trying to look busy
2. trying to be a town leader
At least that's how I see it.
tl;dr: No, I am not trying to be a Town leader. I was simply having fun playing the game.
Green Ranger

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.

Some reads:
- I like several of Zack's posts so far. No the town leader one but there were several with actual work behind them so a town lean there.
- Zordon is ok so far to me. Engaging and opinions. Another town lean there. Pink Ranger too.
- Rita is too flavoury for my taste. There are little hints here and there of actual work but they are buried deep between the Roleplay.
- 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.
- Not liking Tommy posts so far. Nothing interesting there. The same can be said from Green
The rest are mostly nulls so far.

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.

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.

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?

I was thinking about who to put my initial vote on.
Vote: Yellow Ranger
I want to hear more from them.
Pink Ranger

I think this is a bad read. You think mafia get upset with one vote? And I don't think he actually got upset, rather used the situation surrounding the vote to involve themselves in the game.
Zordon
Costume Account
does not think Tommy is mafia but votes Tommy
immediately says other people are doing the same thing, does not vote them
Zordon

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

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.

There are a few people who make me mad but it’s almost time for night night in tube land so I will post a comprehensive list tomorrow

I'm going to say we would see more connections when people start campaigning for their lynch prospects instead of this early.

@Black Ranger what's your opinion on Blue Ranger?
Black Ranger
Costume Account
Null
Yellow Ranger
Costume Account
I disagreed about it being hot air so I decided to ask for clarification. It’s less about self defense and more that I thought your read of my posts could potenrially reflect poorly on you, as if you hadn’t really read what I had to say- I’ve obviously got some degree of bias but I do not think those posts could be described a “hot air”. Now imo it does reflect poorly upon you, although I definitely like most of your other posts (outside of the one where you praise somebody for pinging Goldar and then do it yourself which seemed.... frankly redundant and kind of weird???).
I have a light feeling of eh for tommy right now for just one small reason right now. This reason being the explanation for the Goldar ping and unvote (idc about the prod itself). the reasoning of wanting to see how he’d react to an unvote seems very contrived to me.
As for Jason I am quite comfortable for my vote there, one post that really stands out to me is 239 where he takes a post from Zordon that I thought was extremely clear and kind of summarizes it, only with more words? I question the idea that he needed clarification on the post in the first place (because like I said I thought it was quite clear). It seems like yet again and example to appear engaged and thoughtful and towny, especially with the last line of that post.
White Ranger
Costume Account
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:
Even when you said before that you were interested in the responses of the random votes:
Blue Ranger
Costume Account
You are really defensive over that vote huh
Goldar
Costume Account
Still wrong. Try again.
Speaking of piggybacking...
Someone drop a vote on one of these guys. I'd do it for "bad reads" but I'd be just OMGUS'ing.
Unvote
Bad play or not, Black Ranger is not getting lynched today and is worth keeping around since he's "having fun".
Trini
Costume Account
Absolutely. And stuff starts to get a lot more heated right before the lynch timer goes off. My vote on Tommy isn't final by any means.
Black Ranger
Costume Account
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.
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....
White Ranger
Costume Account
Well, your justification was weak.
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.
Black Ranger
Costume Account
Do you think he is scum?
Blue Ranger
Costume Account
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.
Alpha 5

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.
So, you are don't qualify as an inactive player, but you are not posting a whole lot and little of substance.
What I am trying to figure out is whether or not this is purposeful.
Skull

Found her playstyle solid, not her reads. I think both are interchangeable. Her reads changed since then though.
It is easy to fluff up day 1, and that’s exactly why I found Rita’s posts solid. They are pretty direct with no bullshit attached. Hard to come off like that if you’re scum.
Bulk
Costume Account
Why not do it yourself? Do you think placing an OMGUS vote would be enough to get you lynched today?
White Ranger

He is my biggest scum lean. I have said before that I didn't liked his posts:
Black Ranger

Alright then.
Skull
Costume Account
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?

@Sawneeks @melonrabbit We will know the real identity of the player after they flip or we must wait until game end?
Goldar

I was voting to prove a point, not because he's my strongest final scum read of the day.
No no, you're supposed to get super defensive when you have a vote on you, not after I've unvoted.
Sawneeks

Please watch the language.
Even though this is a costume game, everyone here are still people you know. Please watch the aggression and insults.
Sawneeks

Real identities won't be revealed until the game ends.
White Ranger
Costume Account
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.
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.
Black Ranger
Costume Account
I apologize for the aggression.
Black Ranger
Costume Account
Understandable reasoning I suppose.
Blue Ranger
Costume Account
Where did I attack your vote on someone else calling it random? It was entirely because it was a weird vote.
you're not making any sense
you just straight up whined about how he wasn't getting lynched today
and your vote didn't prove anything
and it was an omgus vote
and you didn't even stick with it
and it's your only real vote
and you barely have any other real strong reads to offer
and and and and and....
¬_¬
seriously what is your goal here? your actions don't make sense from the perspective of town or scum
my opinion of goldar right now
still think tommy is more scummy because goldar don't make sense
still need to press x to JASON!!!!!!!!!!!

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, yeah, that was definitely a random vote. Didn't understand the post at first because I read it as one line.
White Ranger

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.
Blue Ranger

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.

White Ranger

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.
Red Ranger
Costume Account
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
Is this where Bulk "attacked" your vote?
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?
Blue Ranger

Look above ^^
It's not the vote itself that startled me, it was your need to make known it was random.
BECAUSE THAT MAKES SENSE
White Ranger

No. Blue attacked my random vote on Bulk.
White Ranger

And that's scummy because......?
Black Ranger

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.
Red Ranger
Costume Account
Oh, ok.
Still seems like a stretch to me.
Why would scum stick its neck out to defend a random vote?

You can't really anticipate scum players like that AT ALL.
Town thinks Scum would/won't do X
Scum does X
Scum survives until end game

Seriously, trying to anticipate scum moves is an absolute lost cause and only serves to make town weaker by overthinking things.

you really think scum anticipated RITA REPULSA THE WITCH WHO WILL ONE DAY RULE THE WORLD??
um, okay
also how often has that scenario ever happened? genuinely curious
if you can convince me i'll vote for him right now
otherwise i'm running with his actions not making sense as scum and giving him a day 1 pass

Do you want the wifom answer or there is no need?
Skull

Of course they don’t, Mafia would suck if they did.
It makes sense to me for scum to try and play along during D1, blend in on the mess that the game start is, and Goldar’s posts are definitely not that right now.
clarification: giving him a day one pass on THIS PARTICULAR SUBJECT
because giving him a pass on everything would be... uh... dumb ¬_¬
and the great RITA REPULSA is not that
Blue Ranger
Costume Account
Because that was what stood out to me?
White Ranger
Costume Account
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.
Black Ranger
Costume Account
Then are you going to vote for him or do you have a close second that you'll vote for instead?
Blue Ranger
Costume Account
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?
White Ranger
Costume Account
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.

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.

Skull
Costume Account
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.
Even so, that’s the feel™ I had when reading the Goldar so far. He seemed genuinely annoyed and his “sort of” OMGUS vote stance didn’t feel scummy to me.
...?
HOW DO YOU FORGET THE OMGUS VOTE THAT YOU ACKNOWLEDGED?????
I HAVE A HEADACHE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
also, the omgus reaction before the vote that you acknowledged was an omgus
Tommy
Costume Account
There are multiple voting for me over that vote, and some others voicing suspicion. Why wouldn't I explain that vote? And it was an early game prod vote to see what would happen. Go back and look at the first hour of votes again, and tell me what reactions people are expecting to get to jump off of for their Day 1 votes. And then tell me what's different about the goals in my vote?
Also, you guys should try to stick to the pronouns in the first post.
Yellow Ranger
Costume Account
I’m not sure if it’s because I’m dumb or it just doesn’t make sense, but I’m having a lot of trouble following the Goldar situation? His aggression is whatever to me, but I can’t seem to wrap my head around whatever point he’s trying to make.
