Sawneeks is always scum, Ferg. Unless she gets eaten by Muffin. Then she's town, but stuck inside Muffin. It's a whole thing.rip xD
Some speculation, no lynch vs lynch, an eventI'm probably not going to read the last 8 pages so what's up with everyone.
Read the event, and let us know what you think. That and general reads from now on will get you up to speedI'm probably not going to read the last 8 pages so what's up with everyone.

Speaking of general reads - do you have any thoughts besides the event and that we should lynch? You’ve popped in a few times now but I don’t believe you’ve discussed anything other than those two topics.Read the event, and let us know what you think. That and general reads from now on will get you up to speed
monkey and I have a wonderful, loving relationship. we try and murder each other because we care.
He’s not the only one. I’d be more concerned but honestly I expect I’ll be using my ITA to attempt to remove non-entities unless I have a strong scum read that seems unlikely to be lynched for whatever reason.Oh also JubJub is in this game and i dont think he posted yet?
Dont tell him i told you tho.
I still feel pretty good in my vote there compared to some of the others that have pinged my radar. He showed back up and did discuss more for one post, but after that it was right back to being a light presence. He joined the event, and commented on Vere; however, I still don’t see much there. I’ve come to expect more of Apollo, he’s been really strong in some of our recent games. He has very much not shown that so far.
Oh that is a cool post.
I don't have the courage to troll like that. I am jelly.
In general I don't believe in posting in wrong threads cuz scum are all careful and stuff but umm then I reflect back on some of the weird shit I've seen the meanies do and wonder if I should reverse my stance.
naaaah
*taps microphone*
PLEASE STANDBY
I don’t think those things are mutually exclusive? You started off with the ITAs because mechanics talk is easy and you could get some easy posts in that looked meaningful. Since then your thread presence has been fairly light, not a lot of probing or sharing of thoughts. I’m not trying to be an asshole, but to me those both work hand in hand for why I scumread you.Are you voting me for being a “light presence” or because I’ve pursued the ITA angle? I recognize that the former is an issue and I stand by my position on the latter. My read on the Verelios situation is, as I said, tricky. I imagine myself in that position and I could see naming Blade based on having a bunch of votes at the top of the list, later learning it was 9 votes after calming down, and then conflating the two. But as others say that isn’t exactly alignment indicative. I do legitimately think the situation is an interesting one, but I don’t think there’s much to glean from it with our current information.
My vote is still on Kyan because that initial self vote was... not a good way to hop into the game considering the pages of discussion there were up to that point. Our interactions during and after the event were mildly humorous and honestly pretty confusing. Kyan seems to legitimately have wanted the penalty? Idk how I should be reading that. The most I can remember of playing with Kyanrute is playing with his one day imposter in Power Rangers which.... wasn’t actually him.
DAY 1 ENDS
“Things seem to be moving slow here.”
With a snap of his fingers two of the heroes were teleported away from the rest. Everyone looked on as Prince Namor and X-23 were sent into a dome of electrified energy nearby.
“These two will fight. I want to see who is stronger.”
Wow, over 700 posts and not a single one mentions that I haven’t posted yet. Am I really that forgettable? :<
Anyways, I just finished reading through the thread. I’m surprised an event happened Day 1, and sad that I missed it. I hope to participate in at least one of those.
As for my potential vote for today, that list of players that signed up for the event seems like a good starting point, if only to narrow down the number of lynchees. Of course, it’s entirely possible that the scum team decided ahead of time not to sign up for early events so that they could blend in with the larger player base.
That said, anyone who has played with me before should remember that I don’t really consider anyone a good lynch for Day 1 since there is so little info to go off of, and I don’t expect this game to be an exception. I will lynch someone for sure, though, even though I’d feel bad that they wouldn’t be able to experience the craziness Day 2 onwards would bring.
(Oh, and I promise to update my avatar.)
when your post before this just ended, I was like "that is what it looks like inside me right now."well damn... you spend an hour reading and trying to make sense of past day, hit submit and find out you're now playing a different game...
I partially remember what Melon and Splinter did today but can someone give me a recap?
This is... um... Interesting. Which one's Namor? I was given the entire early 90's run of Namor because someone was dunking on me for liking Aquaman. I want to vote to kill Namor. I noticed you & promise to vote for you as soon as we're able to let you know you were noticed!
Oh, okay.I asked you about the wagon on Monkey (whom you never fully voted for but didn't care), then me and Terra politely talked about stuff regarding his all but proven Ferg theory and Splinter was his normal ominous self.
Surely you could have asked me, darling. I would have let you in on the joke.
Not a clue. Was just about to go to bed... luckily I'll be up and at work before this is over to reavaluate. Until then. Because her name was first and M comes before S. We need to trim down the roster.
Vote: melonrabbit
Well, I remember you being more active than that, but as for the specifics I can only tell how I generally felt at the moment. Which was NAI.How do you remember it?
My memory sucks.
I'm guessing we can assume one of these guys is scum?
I'm not feeling too confident about voting for either melonrabbit or Splinter right now. Neither of them seem particularly scummy to me, and I don't think there's any reason this couldn't be a "town vs town" situation.
This will be over by time I wake up. Luckily I checked the thead before heading to bed.
Yeah... I'm really not sure, either. I'm about to head to bed & am contemplating just staying out of this. Except Melon outed herself as Namor & it's looking really tempting.
Considering you were on Faddy's case for going no lynch this seems hypocritical.
If you feel my character name is enough to vote for me, vote for me. Don't suddenly get cold feet now.
Did you finish your re-read?I'm a little alarmed at how cavalier people have been so far about just thinning the ranks at all costs. I get that it's a big game but we have no idea how many scum there are, if there are neutral factions, or anything, so i'm a little hesitant to just be like whatever, kill some people, kill four people, who cares!
Gah. Now this feels like a trap! I was initially just joking with the Namor thing, since there still isn’t much to go off of.
This is a bit different, too. You & Splinter might both be Heroes, so there’s a chance we kill one of our own regardless, unlike a regular Day Kill where we know at least someone isn’t on the side of justice. Do ties mean no death here?

That seems a fair and balanced decision :/
I am Prince(ess) Namor, The Amazing and Cute Melon.

I just don't see that being a safe assumption here. Wouldn't really be fair to either side, I think?
By “no lynch” is a viable option, does that mean that we can actually vote for no lynch, or it just results from a tie? I’m confused by the wording of “you may only vote for melon and splinter”. @Sorian
Nah, I've got them both open in tabs but I haven't done it yet. I'm SUPPOSED to be doing data viz but here we are. I will read them before I go to bed, but I'll say my gut is to vote Splinter just 'cause I think he's a slippery devil, but I won't given into that temptation.Did you finish your re-read?
Something to note here, which Splinter can confirm/deny, is that Flavor is actually sort of tied to roles? I know, I know; Flavor =/= anything but given Melon just claimed Namor I feel that's kinda important here.

It's a 50 player game. We're not going to get anywhere with this many people still around and thinning the herd is what we need. Don't know about you but keeping track of even 18 other players is tough so doing that here is going to be next to impossible. This game is also designed as crazy and Sorian Balanced(tm) so may as well play fast-n-loose.
I don't think flavor is tied to roles or at least not in all cases.as much as i love a damn good THUNDERDOME showdown I have nothing on either melon or splinter at the moment and am about to go to bed for an early work day tomorrow. yell if you want but i'm abstaining from voting for this, i can't make a call on either player having only read like 50 posts.
g'night
Here's the thing, it's less fair if both are scum, or both are town. It also gives one side an overwhelming advantage here since one of them will certainly be lynched.
If both are the same side, the grandmaster is quite evil, but then again, he is Thanos, but I'm trying to think logically.
One could also be neutral. I just doubt the possibility of both being the same side.
You could...if that idea was correct, otherwise you would be mislynching twice, or hitting correctly twice.If that's the case, we could make the arguement to lynch one of them in the event, then if they end up as town lynch the other one for the official day end. Either way we'll end up ahead, trading one town for one scum/neutral.
So, our options, then, are lynch melonrabbit, lynch Splinter, or no lynch on either. A tie will lead to no lynch, but that's not really a decision, so much as a circumstance
Uhh... Ok, I think I get it.
On first read, Vere did seem to change his story half way through. I'm not sure the two stories are mutually exclusive though.
OTOH, the way Kyan pushes this is reminding me quite strongly of scum-me. It's the kind of inconsistency that's quite safe to push hard on, and when a more complete explanation comes to light he has to gloss over or dismiss it.
Wait, what did I do?Baby is asleep! Quick, I need to vote!
VOTE: Extreme Tactician
For leading me astray. Plus, Splinter made a good point.
That doesn't necessarily mean she's scum. Town gladiators exist.@melonrabbit I feel like you could be responsible for this thunderdome simply based on circumstances.
It would take someone with a little insight into the community to know of your history and pitch you against each other. I definitely doubt it's random.
You don't seem to be surprised either and went into full on let's fight mode right when it was announced. There was no hesitation and you called out @Splinter multiple times.
It looks like you anticipated this.

to the bolded portion: Like Sorian himself? It's just as possible.@melonrabbit I feel like you could be responsible for this thunderdome simply based on circumstances.

The difference is in a normal lynch I get to pick between people I scum read. I re-read both Melon and Splinter and still came away leaning town on both just as before. Given they’re some of my few town reads and that we’ll be lucky if I wake back up before this whole shebang ends I’m going toYou all make arguments about why we shouldn't do a no lynch day 1 yet you chicken out when we have to vote between 2 people. This is a 50 player game, having a day 1 with 2 lynches will provide us more information and we can even discuss the first lynch. It's definitely worth lynching one of the 2.
Wow, over 700 posts and not a single one mentions that I haven’t posted yet. Am I really that forgettable? :<
PLaying this thunderdome primarily by trying to figure out if one or both must be scum or trying to pin it on one of the players seems like a bundle of threads so lacking in any kind of evidence or even grounded logic thats it seems like its almost certain to lead to bad decisions,
vote for whoever you think should be lynched, or vote no lynch (in this instance i cant really see that much of a downside to it) based on how you read the players.
in my case,
VOTE: *Splinter
Versus no reaction from Splinter.The thing I'm concerned about is melon's reaction. That's enough for me to choose her over splinter.
