Although yay for being in an event, I guess

NO LYNCH

I'll obviously vote melon if I have to, but I'm not voting out one of my few townreads just because some rube shot their load early.

I would like to know who called for this dome and why they chose us

I love you too.

Will you confirm your X 23 for flavor transparency?

This seems dirty. I don't like it one bit. Need to sleep on it, give the situation some though. Will spare the club until morning.

She's relaxed, involved, unafraid. It's still only gut level but she's the strongest town read I've got so far.

vote: no lynch

Trigger pulled the trigger and left.

This confused me for a sec, but I see Sorian posted it.

Yeah I'm X-23

Haha, perfect image for the situation.

That said, I do find it kinda funny after all the no lynch discussion that an event started where we must vote between two people and no lynch is currently in the lead.

furthermore, discussing how splinter defused this, or at least attempted to - dunno what will happen between now and the deadline - is fodder. the votes that were cast is fodder. Splinter and melon townreading each other enough to refused to lynch (potentially) tells us something.

i'm too sleepy to argue this. good luck and godspeed, you two. i'll miss the deadline.

I don't expect I'll get an answer to this, and I need to go to work soon.

There's no way this was a town aligned power. If you were town and had this ability, who would you target?

Not melon and I, not then.

So who did it? I would blame Faddy, but he was almost certainly asleep.

There's been a few posts this game linking me with melon. They seemed silly at the time but a lot more sinister now. I don't remember who it was though
 

Splinter

Lord of Volcano Island
It may not even be a power and is just something cooked up by Sorian. If he doesn't say anything then it's just a guessing game about if it's a power or not.
Me/melon is too much of a coincidence to be rng, and Sorian wouldn't hand pick a thunderdome.
 
I assume it's a mechanic, and we'll see more thunder dome situations. Just my gut. I don't imagine a player just deciding to use their power randomly on Day 1.

Considering this is your second post, do you have a read on much? Any gut feels? Or any thoughts about how things have been recently before the event started?

I'm still not sure if I fully understand what happened in the earlier event, but I don't think Verelios comes off as scummy. Beyond that, much of the discussion hasn't left an impression on me yet. Sorting through the fluff and meaningful interactions has been a little overwhelming.
 

Alexem

Yeah, I'm town
Someone's running Bartertown on D1? Madness, sheer madness. Can't say that I'm sold on the prospect of either candidate, in all honesty, so I'll hold off my vote for the moment. If I had to vote this very second, though, I'd probably lean a little more towards Splinter, but that's purely based on Melon's activity so far. It's not something I have much conviction for.

@Geno - I appreciate your point about lynching for more information on D1, but this event isn't the be-all and end-all for today. If the consensus is that neither of the candidates are worth lynching at this point, we still have the normal lynch for the rest of the day. Personally, I wouldn't say that a no lynch is quite such a bad idea in this situation.

Gotta be honest, these melon votes are a bit weird

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 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.

Vote: melonrabbit

I'm really not feeling strongly one way or another.

Vote: melonrabbit

VOTE: melonrabbit

If Splinter is dead I can't shoot him.

Well i am all caught up.

Vote: melonrabbit
There's more than I'd expect, and none of them give a reason. (I left out Gorlak who did give a reason, though none of these people commented on it.)

The votes for me at least have reasons, mostly that melon is more active. If I was a third party and felt forced to choose (ignoring no lynch), that's probably what I'd do too.

Yet we have no less than 5 unreasoned voted for melon. I'd wager that at least some of these are scum trying to split themselves between the two options.
 

Splinter

Lord of Volcano Island
OTOH, these are bad reasons for voting:

I’m going to bed but will hopefully be up in enough time to read what I missed & change the vote accordingly. ... & since Melon appears to be deliberately baiting me...

Vote: Splinter
I'm not sure I'm interpreting this one right, but Zubz seems concerned with melon's motives, yet votes me?

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
Trusting melon because she defended you? Does she have reason to defend you so early?

It's a common rookie mistake, to be fair.
 
Gotta be honest, these melon votes are a bit weird

I actually agree here apart from hom3land. I read their vote as "I want to put down a vote now and will think about it properly later before the end of the event" aka random nothingness considering the whole "Until then. Because her name was first and M comes before S"

But the rest I fully agree on and that it's weird.

To be honest it just sucks either way since i consider em both strong players if they decide to play.
Melon was strong and Splinter has seen how strong she is, thats why he has ulped his game ( even thought his one liners can get a bit boring).
My vote still sits on melon because i threw a coin.
The coin has spoken.

Wait, what did I do?

You made it seem like there were a ton of votes on Ferg but in reality there was only one, from Terra.

---

Don't like this thunderdome situation. I'm town reading both. It seems neither Splinter nor Melon chose this thunderdome. So another player probably did. But if town-aligned, why choose those too? For meta reasons? I would choose players that were more universally scum read. Only people who know the community would thunderdome those two players (because you would have to be familiar with their rivalry from previous games), and someone with that level of mafia experience wouldn't pick these two given how they've been playing this particular game.

So basically, I'm speculating that this is a scum power, and they chose two townies. But then, why two fairly vocal players? I'd have chosen two silent townies. But this way they get rid of a loud voice I suppose?

I'm inclined to no lynch as well.
 
One thing is certain, if this is the work of a scum role, neither melon nor Splinter are the ones that did it. It had to be from outside.

I agree

Which means this is potentially a thunderstorm between two townies...

If this is indeed a scummy power setting up this gladiator battle, did they anticipate no lynch votes? I wonder who here seems bummed about that, will have a quick look
 
Vote: No Lynch

I don't think either of them are scum. The votes on melon were weird and considering splinter pointed that out, I'm inclined to keep both of them around.

We shall still have our lynch today but at the end of the day, not during the event.

It's because Kawl knows I'm on to him.

Melon is one of the few players who would likely beat me in a thunderdome at this stage, and has the added benefit of our existing rivalry acting as a smokescreen.

It all fits, but I see you Kawlo. Conspicuous by your absence.

As for melon and Splints, I know that I don't have enough info to be being all protect-y about either of the two (apart from the reasons already mentioned). Nothing to me about them speaks SUPER DUBER ULTIMATE TOWN so death it is. For info or something. What info, dunno. Possible info. Very abstract info that might not be info at all.

unless two are town in which case scum gets two for the price of one :(

Hmm. True! Peace and love it is! Enter the hugbox now! No more murders!

we have a plenty of spares / imma gonna be the arrogant voice this game yaaaay finally found my thing yaaaay

That's not the argument here. No one is saying no murders ever.

Quit being dense. Giving scum the potential to take out two town players isn't optimal play and you know it.
 
good morning
vote: no lynch
not feeling either of the candidates. wanting to thin the roster is valid but I feel like getting too bloodthirsty on d1 is rather risky, I want to stick to just the normal lynch. won't be here for day 1.5 end :(

I already mentioned that I am not reading either of you as town. As for the #realcandidate, I don't personally plan to vote for a townie.
 
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.

Also for the question of "Is this our Day 1 lynch or do we get the normal lynch" thing from earlier, here is the section that talks about that in the post :)
 

Alexem

Yeah, I'm town
Given that the option's getting more traction, I'm going for
VOTE: No lynch
My gut feeling is that this is either a trap, a total stab in the dark, or someone's been forced to initiate a D1 thunderdome on pain of modkill. None of those are good enough reason for me to vote for Melon or Splinter at this point.
 
Apologies for being missing, sort-of caught up now.

I've got no suspicions about either, so I'll pick the 3rd option:
VOTE: No Lynch
I'm off to go over melonrabbit and splinter, see if I spot anything that changes my mind.
 
For cause, I think I remember Sorian said that some stuff in this game would be callbacks/community references and I could see this falling under that maybe. But otherwise I'd say it's caused by some neutral/maf role probably. Town role maybe, but I feel like it should've been used a lot better if it was.

This is fun to wake up to.

VOTE: No Lynch

This seems a perfectly acceptable no lynch situation to me. We don't know if this is player or gm initiated. If player and scum, we don't want to lynch. If player and town, we probably don't want to lynch. If gm, who knows, the odds are still bad. At least there will be something to discuss the remainder of the day, which I will be mostly at work for, see you all in 10-11 hours.

Really? Why would scum put themselves in the spotlight day 1 for no reason and risk getting lynched?
we've had such a role in a previous game. Scum had to do it (until d/n3(?)) or be modkilled. So unlike what you're trying to say - it is very much possible for one of them to be scum.

That was a thing? Use X by a certain day or be killed? O.o

You are trying to add a super obscure role that's borderline bastard to a situation that's almost 99% not that. I will give you 1% though in case that role actually exists here.
 
Almost every time something like this has happened in a game I played in, it was town V Town.

Except I think that one time like what gorlak said.
 
I'm not sure I'm interpreting this one right, but Zubz seems concerned with melon's motives, yet votes me?

She may have an item or something. She outed herself as Namor when I stated I personally want to kill Namor, & called me a cold-footed hypocrite for contemplating sitting this vote out. I feel she wants me to vote her out & I don’t know why.

That said, I don’t want to vote either of you out, but don’t want to have a No Kill staining my record, so I abstain.

Unvote: Splinter

Back. Remembered this morning that I had lynched melon in Buffy and was wrong. Let me make it up. With after doing a reread the event started the whole no lynch day 1 was fresh in my head. Going to chalk up my initial vote to being over zealous.
