HI FRIEND

HI MONKEY <3

love the avatar btw


monkey and I have a wonderful, loving relationship. we try and murder each other because we care.

Sawneeks is always scum, Ferg. Unless she gets eaten by Muffin. Then she's town, but stuck inside Muffin. It's a whole thing.

listen. i haven't been scum in a while so that hardly holds up anymore. :<

Read the event, and let us know what you think. That and general reads from now on will get you up to speed

Can do, that seems short. Let me get some food and I'll be back.

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.

A quick read of the event leaves me with:

-Holy shit that was confusing. Had to read the rules of it a few times
-lol two people picked Geno
-Kyaaa really wants a thing. Maybe do not ever give him thing?
-Are we considering asking what Symphony got to be role fishing? Because I'm curious as fuck as to what he got.

that was about it without looking that deep into it. I did notice there were a lot of people in the list and some only posted once or twice, dunno if that would really means anything though.

In here he said it wasn’t very remarkable. I personally didn’t press on it just because in past games some items were made fairly useless by being revealed.

Hmm... okay, that event was a shitshow, but after it, I'm leaning towards two options.

Vere seems to have thrown that event and made a lot of losers out of the players in it. I'm still not grasping all of the implications from that event, but I'll get back to it.

I'd be more interested in pursuing one of the players that lurked and hopped into the event out of the blue. It's a little rich coming from someone like me, who's also a low-poster, but it'd be an odd coincidence to suddenly just have an event come up the first time you check the thread :D

Vote: Rynam

... I'm hoping I did the vote right. I kept fucking it up in sneakers mafia ><

Alright then. Caught up on this thread but havnt read the event.

Firstly.
AYYYY MAGIC BUDDAYYYYY! \o/

Ahem.


Secondly. Here are the points i can remember from the rushed catching up.

Firstly on Stu aparently acting to eager to pleaseish, just reads to me like stus general petsonaluty coming through rather than any attempt to garner townie points.

Grizzly is giving me iffy vibes but that could just be that i really dont like his :thinking: heavy style of non-arguement. Will need to look closer on this when i got the time.

Havnt read the event but in this thread verelios' justification feel like genuine panickyness.

Coming from that Kyans pushing and skepticisim toward vere feels possibly excessive? Like of he expects someone who claims to have been panicking to have a perfectly straightforward account of his choices while panicking. That just aint how panicking works.
But alternately he could just have been presuring vere unreasonably on purpose to see how he squirmed, which is always a neat way to figure people out. Again i think i would want a more thouroug read before a conclusion.

Thats all i got off the top of my head. Laters.
 

Natiko

Town's Friendly Neighborhood Serial Killer
Oh also JubJub is in this game and i dont think he posted yet?

Dont tell him i told you tho.
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.
 

Apollo

Apollo will wreck your goddamn face
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.

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.

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

You troll like this all the time. I wish I was your level of troll.

So my brain might be fired from work but I'm not sure I'm following the fallout from the event. Especially in regards to Verelios.

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.”

AN EVENT HAS BEGUN

For the next eight hours, you may only vote for @melonrabbit and @Splinter . At the end of the eight hours, whoever has the most votes will be lynched. No lynch is still a viable option and as normal, a tied vote will also lead to a no lynch. After this event ends, day 1 will continue as normal. Due to this event, votes have been reset. They will also reset once the event ends.

DAY 1 SPECIAL EVENT BEGINS

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.

I don’t disagree on Kyan’s self vote being garbage though. I’ve been mulling over some of the thoughts expressed recently on whether Kyan was genuine in his grilling or not. I lean more towards it being genuine simply because he didn’t rush in for the quick conclusion. Honestly zipped stuck out more to me on how easily he slid into a Vere vote despite not really engaging in the discussion. That’s why I was prodding him for more discussion but alas...
 

Natiko

Town's Friendly Neighborhood Serial Killer
Oh. Well that’s garbage because I town read both and I doubt many people will even see this event before it ends.

...well that was unexpected. uh. shit? I got all excited 'cause I was here for an event but this is not what I thought it would be.

Are these chosen randomly? Is one of them scum? If we have to vote between two towns that sucks so I hope so. I mean, odds are we'd mislynch d1 anyway but this takes the wind out of a lot of sails and developing investigations.
 
Just got done reading the thread. Damn this is going to be hard to keep up. By the time this game is over, the last players will probably have read the equivalent of back to back War and Peace.


Stu doesn't seem like scum. He got caught up in the no lynch day 1 meta and people jumped on him. With that said i'm glad that meta died it was never going to happen.

Includes attack on Stuart is kind of shady. She accused him of being " prone to make gambit as scum and methinks he may just have done one here" which he denied and said he's only been Scum once. I'm not sure someone whose only been scum once can be prone to anything. Then again Include likes to shake things up with her questioning.


I tend to believe Vere. My heart jumped and I got nervous when I refreshed the page while I was checking into the game at work and I saw a wall of red JOIN. him being nervous and messing up doesn't seem like a far fetched explanation.

As of now I believe there are still a couple of people that haven't posted. I'

LET'S THUNDERDOME @Splinter

Destiny has arrived.

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
 
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...
 
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.

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.)

I noticed you & promise to vote for you as soon as we're able to let you know you were noticed!

Time to re-read them both, I guess. Will Splinter even have much time to see this?
 
I had a genuine childhood fear of Tina Turner after seeing bits of Tommy at too young of an age. Leaning towards melon here for that .GIF alone.

I partially remember what Melon and Splinter did today but can someone give me a recap?

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.

I felt out of the joke, and tried to use that to fuel some humor of my own. “Surely they’ll recognize this as hyperbole” he chuckled, “just as I finally realized this was a joke!”

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.

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!

Truth be told, I'm not really feeling a strong reason to go for either. Good job Thanos for not making it easy on us.

results of my skim through melon’s posts: It’s an interesting coincidence that her opening vote was on Splinter. I quite like her interactions with Terra in regards to Ferg, because upon reading that discussion in further detail I do find myself agreeing with her on that. That being said, it could be town going to bat for town as much as scum going to and for scum or scum going to bat for a town for townie points. Ultimately that’s NAI, but because I agree it comes off a slight town read for me. She has a lot of fluff posts too which is something to note.

results of my skim through splinter’s posts: he’s aggressive as I’ve come to expect from him. Skipping past the Groot stuff, he points out multiple things that he takes issue with- there’s not much detail to go along with each individual point but it’s a lot of stances. Very bold start imo. He says that he doesn’t think verelios’s claims about the event are mutually exclusive, which is the same conclusion is reached above, so that’s something that feels good to me. My main takeaway here is that there’s a lot of potentially useful info that only really shines in light of flips, which we don’t have.

Not my favorite pair of players to have to choose from to say the least. If I have to go for one of them I’d say I’d lean towards Splinter? I’d get at least one flip to use in relation to the stances he mentions.

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?

True. I am know I am town. It is possible that Splinter is as well.

A tie will result in a no lynch scenario.

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
 
Said that already but since we can't know for sure who's scum and who's not on Day 1, the choice seems hard for me, but melonrabbit defended me at the beginning so I don't feel like voting for her. Would've said in no lynch but it doesn't seem to be the best thing to vote for, so.....

VOTE: splinter

Just for the sake of getting all info out there, did either of @BladeSymphony , @melonrabbit , or @Splinter cause this event? Can you guys confirm/deny?

The Melon vs Splinter rivalry IS a thing so it makes me think either Sorian has stuff planned for specific players or there's a role out there that knows the meta and wanted some fun. Or RNG is amazing.

HI MELON

“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.”

That seems a fair and balanced decision :/

I am Prince(ess) Namor, The Amazing and Cute Melon.

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.

I'm a little alarmed at how cavalier people have been so far about just thinning the ranks at all costs.

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.

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
 
I just don't see that being a safe assumption here. Wouldn't really be fair to either side, I think?

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.

I don't think flavor is tied to roles or at least not in all cases.

Also, two things:
First, you're all KILL YAY THUNDERDOME and then exempt yourself. There's a lot of this going around. Not a great look. I get that you just replaced in but mmm. If it doesn't matter, why not vote?
Second, yeah, yeah, I get it, fast and loose, blah blah blah. I dunno, I'm just more cautious with killing people when we don't know shit yet about the overarching cycle of the game. Sorian will force me to be less cautious and I will dig in my damn heels.

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.

Since my re-read buddy never came through @heymonkey I do feel like Melon has been more active in conversations and across the board, even though she came at me out of left field earlier. As for Splinter, my memory is a lot more vague. I'm kind of comfortable leaving my vote here for now.

VOTE: Splinter

Hopefully my vote doesn't go wonky this time
 

Ynnek7

OH MY GOD, THEY LYNCHED YNNEK
VOTE: No Lynch

Yeah, I think I'm gonna have to go with lynching neither of them. The likelyhood that they're both town is too strong for me right now, and neither of them have been outwardly scummy enough to set off any bells. I doubt this will win in the end, but I want my opinion out there before turning in for the night.
 
You 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.

Damn, Vere, give a girl a chance.

melon is considerably more active than Splinter - like four times more active, both in content and numbers. Splinter throws out some drive-by observation and really only comments at length(ish) on one thing:
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.

And that isn't particularly revealing.

melon is really involved, all over the thread, commenting on a number of situations. Not all the posts are content heavy but she's already established connections, even if thin, to several players. But since she's initiated them, and early game is a good time for scum to interact with their teammates in a lowstakes manner, even if she flips scum it might not tell us much or anything.

Both are relatively relaxed, willing to mess around. Neither seems particularly interesting in being agreeable to all, outside of melon doing a little melonism. In terms of content, melon has not been afraid to get rough and Splinter is just being Splinter, so who knows. Not really enough of him yet, and we may not even see him before this is resolved.

It sucks. I don't like it. Gonna give it some thought while I wrap up projects here.
 
@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.

The flaw with the case you're making here is that you don't know how Splinter would react if he was here and melon hadn't been. He's also referred to their rivalry too in his limited appearance in the thread, so it's not like it's one-sided.

Geno also makes a good point that if it's a power from one of them, it's not necessarily a scum power. It could also be someone else who's not involved.
 
@heymonkey What you are saying doesn't make melon look better in any way. You deflect by going speculationist.

Yes it could be Sorian, yes it could be someone else, yes the power could be nai. But guess what that doesn't explain her behaviour.

She was around at that time whereas Splinter was very likely asleep. She wasn't surprised in the slightest and she didn't hesitate at all to take up the fight. She was prepared for this.

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

I'm not interested in making melon look better, or making Splinter look better. I'm interested in not killing someone based on looking at one part of this situation - melon - while ignoring Splinter/Splinter's (understandable) absence, or possible other factors.
1. You're just as speculative, only you're assuming your speculation is analysis.
2. You're measuring melon's reaction versus a nonexistent reaction from Splinter, who probably hasn't even seen this.
3. And yes, there are other potential causes, but you latched onto one and called it good.

Just full of holes.

And Gorlak, being suspicious that Melon for called out Splinter is like being suspicious that the sun rose in the morning.
 
Some more speculation that doesn't really help: the only time I saw a dumb thunderdome power was in a game by the wonderful Cabot who would never do anything wrong. Anyway, I was the thunderdome responsible in that game and I was scum back then. There was a time limit until when it had to be used as well. So much for the occasional subjective instance.

It's entirely possible that this event comes from something completely different.

The thing I'm concerned about is melon's reaction. That's enough for me to choose her over splinter.

You 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.
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 to

VOTE: No Lynch

At least this way I’m leaving a record of my thoughts instead of just doing nothing. If I wake up early I’ll try and sprint read through any new messages in case actual discussion around this event happens that changes my mind. Otherwise I feel comfortable leaving it at this since I doubt Sorian rigged the game which means this is probably an RNG thunderdome between two townies. Night folks.

Im not seeing whats wrong with Melons reaction tho?

like did you expect her to go all battle anime "NANI?!?!"
she gets to go 1v1 with her arch nemesis with the whole game watching, who wouldn't be excited at that?
 
Wow, over 700 posts and not a single one mentions that I haven’t posted yet. Am I really that forgettable? :<

I was going to mention you when I got back (you and a few others like @NZJubJub who I also noticed when I looked at the player list before I went to bed)

Anyway a lot has happened during the night, I missed an event and wake up during another one (I checked the vote tool before i posted and saw a D2 and was like "The fuck?" then I went to read the thread)

VOTE: *Splinter

I think we need clarification here

@Sorian how should we vote for Splinter because *Splinter and just Splinter shows different results in the vote tool section. His username is Splinter but his signup name is *Splinter

So what do? or will you combine both the votes in the vote tool at the end?
 
Apart from that, I've no strong read on either of the possibilities but between the two, I'd go for Splinter.

The event has another 5 hours to go so I'll have a think before putting down a vote.

Well that was a read

Who cares about the event earlier. Not I

And now there is a thunder dome. Super. I wanted to vote Grizzly, but he is apparently role blocked tonight so I was gonna move down my list to Natiko and Xbro.

But thunderdome, yay. Those are always fun.

to hell with it
Gorlak is probably my vote after this so I might as well offset
vote: Splinter

grumble grumble generally on day one thunderdomes
Splinter, if you get lynched without seeing this, that sucks especially.
