Welcome to spec for Stardew Valley! Maybe not always the most exciting game to watch on stream, so we've jazzed it up a bit by adding a lot of murder.

Be nice, be cool, cheer on your faves, do some solving, you know how it goes.

To get things started:

Natiko is Town.

Alright, here we go.

Blargonaut: Round 1
Amazing intro post, Skyrim animation guy at his best. Also, Blarg is presenting himself as a Bard, something to take note of.
*scrutinises list*

"Mars Daemon's Martian Starch"
I have no idea what this one means, but I'm guessing it's RP.
Nestled within the picturesque Stardew Valley you'll find a treat for the traveller's feet in Pelican Town fabulous whine country a front for big aggrow
The most notable parts of this post are the two intentional misspellings. "Whine" instead of "wine", and "aggrow" instead of "agro" which I assume is short for "agriculture". We'll take a note of this as well.
People are not pets

VOTE: Fireblend
Good vote.
Want to hear a song?
Aha, as was established earlier, Blarg presented himself as a Bard in his first post, and later asks if Vere wants to hear a song.

Blarg is a Bard.
This gif is incredible.
Maybe you should make a tool to shorten it
This is an epic burn.
UNVOTE: Fire
This unvote is likely Blarg testing the recent upgrades to the vote tool. He voted for Fireblend using his full name, but then unvoted using the nickname.
Whatever gets you kicked

VOTE: Natiko
Another good vote.

A good question to ask Mao on D1 tbh, he's already getting a feel for him.

I think this post is more RP.
I've got pages of material(s)
I believe it.

"Video Unavailable"
As asked for, Blarg the Bard provides Vere with a song from the 80s...
gross it was on the Stranger Things soundtrack? So much for my rare taste in coincidence
But then quickly realizes that it wasn't quite as unknown as he was hoping for because it was in Stranger Things, thus bringing shame to his image of being a purveyor of obscurity.
At what stage in your work would you consider yourself to be at, according to the diagram below:

This chart is a beautiful representation of what it's like to spectate a Mafia game while trying to root for Town.
Very good gif response to an LP post.

In conclusion, Blarg is currently trending towards Town. Stay tuned for another update the next time he shows up.

I really wanted to stay in the dark for this but I failed and checked the design.

Blarg got the perfect role for him.
I cried laughing. And then Pedro pointed out something else and I died. This roster is a gift from the universe.

Bored perhaps?
You're stranded starving on a deserted island. You dream of a magical tree from which all manner of eats fall freely without end. You awaken to find you were dozing in the shade of the tree!

A voice resonates in your mind, the tree's boughs rustle as it speaks: "I am a tree of one wish and root; eternal vegetables, or eternal fruit?"

You understand it will keep you fed, but you must choose which of the two it will provide.

Endless fruit, or endless vegetables?
Probably was bored, yes, as indicated by this wonderful question that was posed to Neon after he mentioned D1s generally being slow.
Eternal fruit? Eternal vegetables? This is a tree; it should not speak, let alone think and know of human distinctions of nature's bounty. You die with bark underneath your nails and between the teeth left in your mouth, but content in your righteous attempt to subdue certain evil and at the very least, knowing the knowledge of its abhorrent existence dies with you.

The tree shrugs as trees do, and eats you up slowly. It has never tasted human before.

And a beautiful vote for LP.

In conclusion, Blarg is still trending towards Town in my eyes. I see no reason to be Scum reading him yet, even by D1 standards. I will continue to monitor his posts closely though and be on the lookout for anything that might indicate that I am wrong in my initial assessment.

And besides, it's not that the show is obscure necessarily, it's that the gif itself is obscure. How did Blarg come across that gif in the first place? That's the question.

I'm not going to try to keep up with all of Blarg's posts anymore, too much work.

I will still attempt to get a correct read on him throughout the game though.

Also, god I want to play Diablo Mafia so much lol.
 

Fanto

Confirmed Town
I like that a majority of the players are voting, and that the ones who aren't voting are mostly ones I would expect to hold on to their votes until later. Except FEPs, him not having an early vote down weirds me out a little bit. Maybe he's Scum.

It's a dilemma I have with playstyle around here. We want folks to be free with their votes, because they can easily be shifted, yet we see those same votes being thrown back in faces later as scum tells even if they're Day1 nonsense. So for now, I'd rather hold onto my vote like a penguin on an egg.
Someday I will convince Vincent of the importance of using his vote before EoD. Someday...

So far I'm leaning towards Donna the most. She herself has admitted she's overthinking stuff, and her posts generally have an air of wanting to say something without commiting to anything really.

Also wanting to lunch Blarg at this point makes less sense than his ramblings.
Vote: Fireblend

As someone who is definitely a quantity poster, I do side with LP here in that targeting HIM for low post count is meh. You gotta see what LP does with those posts. I'd almost never vote him d1.

D1 Scum reads on Donna are too easy, I side eye the fuck out of them. Shes always a bit wishy washy early on, but then go look at how she was in the later days of LB3 for an example of how good her Town game can be.

I'd be voting Fireblend as indicated above, Wee has the right idea.
 

Fanto

Confirmed Town
I bet they'll kill Natiko or Wee, assuming they're both Town.

Looking at the votes, fuck it would have been nice to see a flip. I can't really do much but make assumptions without knowing if at least one of those two were Town or Scum.

Crossing my fingers for a Vig shot tonight haha.

Spoilers I guess if you dig deeply enough

I'm starting to think that it's actually town that's more likely to vote swap around a lot at EoD. Makes me want to play again soon so I can test this theory.
 

Fanto

Confirmed Town
In all seriousness though, I think there are 4 different worlds here:

1. Blarg is the Poison Doctor
2. Blarg is Vanilla Town
3. Blarg is Mafia
4. Blarg is the Poisoner

I would love to be living in World 4, but I think we're probably just in World 2. Worlds 1 and 3 are possible, but I think 1 is more likely than 3 tbh.

To be fair, it is tucked away in the Gamerunner Guide, so I would imagine most people who haven't designed or ran their own game maybe haven't seen that thread.

Like, for example, I had never seen that thread or knew what the actual night action priority we used was until the LiS Mafia review thread lol. :P

My hottest take yet!

Donna and Stu are Scum together.

So is Aeleus.

There's 3 Scum for ya. Add Vere on to the pile, and baby you got a stew goin.
 

Fanto

Confirmed Town
Fireblend is Town just because of his jokey nature. No need to over analyze the WIFOM of whether Scum would tie the vote or not, it's just the jokes. Look at Image Mafia, we lunched him because he was Fireblend even though he was just joking around the whole time, he was Town. Look at him in any of his many Scum games, less jokes, more "How do you do, fellow Town?"

Also, the Donna busywork and then the back and forth between her and Stu seems pretty performative. I can't remember if I've played in a game with both of them before, but it's feeling really odd for some reason.
This is why I said Donna and Stu are Scum together by the way, I just didn't want to take the time to make a real read because this is Spec Chat and I don't need to justify shit lol. :P

Confirmed Town
Putting a read on Kalor is still one of the most difficult things someone can task me with in these games.

Kalor is... Town? I want to say he's Town, because everything in my body is telling me he's being suspicious, but it's always telling me that, and he's always Town...
 

Fanto

Confirmed Town
Aeleus is Town now I think.

Vere is still obviously Scum and everyone should vote for him, so anyone advocating that gets a good mark in my book. I don't think Scum would bus him without the need to do it since he doesn't get talked about much, best to leave teammates out of the wider scumhunting conversation for as long as possible I would think.

Still in a possible world where Donna and Stu rolled Scum together, will probably need some real vote analysis to pin a case on either, but my heart tells me it's true.

LP is Town as Fuck.

Malus? There we go, Malus is probably Scum, I agree with Wee that there's been nothing alignment indicative from him.

Wee though? Ugh, I just want to believe she's Town here. I feel like I had a better sense that she was Scum the one time I saw it, otherwise I'm usually just handing out easy Town reads to her.

Mao? Null I guess.

Vincent is Town.

FEPs? Nothing really alignment indicative. As for Meta, I don't think I've seen his Scum game before, he's mostly playing how I would expect him to play as Town, he's very confident.

Tearable? Probably Scum tbh.

Razmos or Neon? Maybe one of them.

Z-Beat is probably just Town.

Stan is Town.

I do like how active this game is, lots of discussions.

I'm not sure what I'd be doing if I was in there, probably nitpicking Vere's posts for reasons to vote for him.

I think I'm starting to get a Scum read on Razmos. He had a cozy vote on Fireblend, and now a cozy vote on Kalor, and most of his contributions seem pretty tame, feels like he's staying just barely under the radar, as Scum would want to do.
 

Natiko

Town's Friendly Neighborhood Serial Killer
As much as I’ve been patting myself on the back, I will say there’s a scum player that wasn’t remotely on my radar. I’m behind on the thread so idk if said player has done anything to grab attention, but based on D1 and some of D2 they’re doing great.

Sorry for the tag, Blargonaut, but would you mind describing how do you see your playstyle yourself?
I can't wait to see his gif response to this lol.
Reki said:
I can't think of mafia!Fireblend being that bold so early in the game.
As others have mentioned, in LiS he moved his vote right at EoD on D1 to break a tie towards Town rather than his Scum partner, which was quite the bold move, but he didn't have many choices since he was there at EoD when almost no one else was and he wasn't sure if anyone else would break the tie, so he would have looked more suspicious for allowing the tie to go through than for voting Town over Scum in the long run.
 

Fanto

Confirmed Town
There's no way they vote out Kalor today, right? I wouldn't agree with the LP vote either, nor the Reki and Blarg votes.

Yeesh, I don't know what I'd be doing in there right now, trying to get a Vere or Malus wagon started I guess, or pointing out my suspicions on Raz and going for that.
 

Fanto

Confirmed Town
Ok, so here's why I think Vere is being Scummy right now.

He held on to his vote all day and now artificially limits his choices down to the top wagons. He's letting Town decide the candidates and then picking between them instead of voting for someone he thinks is Scum early on and then arguing his case.

It's easy to hide a vote as Scum like this, isn't it? "Ah, I see we're at EoD now, huh? Well, I suppose if I have to pick between Town Player A, Town Player B, and My Scum Partner, I'll just go for... Town Player A! Here's my fake reasonings, thank you very much, see you tomorrow!"
 

Fanto

Confirmed Town
Oh oh, is that command from FEPs going to be a thing where everyone gets to talk at night! I hope so, those are so fun!
 

Fanto

Confirmed Town
So that was Scum Kalor, huh? Literally no difference other than seeming a bit more interested in self preservation than I guess he normally would be? The Meta remains the same.

Kalor

Kay-lor? Kah-lor?
That was a poor performance on my part, at least at the start of the day. That was mostly what got me killed. I checked earlier and I don't think I've been scum since Marvel Heroes so it's been a lot longer than I thought.

FEPs role is really neat. Well, for everyone except scum.

So we've got FEPs as basically Confirmed Town over here now, and then Fire and Ynnek as the claimed Lovers.

Town:
FEPs
Fireblend
Ynnek

Then we've got my top Town Reads, which would be like, Blarg, Z-Beat, LP, Mao, and Vincent I guess?

Town Reads:
Blarg
Z-Beat
LP
Mao
Vincent

Then my initial Area of Concern would look like:
Stu
Razmos
Neon
Malus
Vere
Reki
Aeleus
Wee
Stan
Tearable

So, if I want to narrow that list down some, I could toss Neon, Reki, Wee, Aeleus, and Tearable into a Null pile.

So what does that leave me with for the most concern?
Stu
Razmos
Malus
Vere
Stan

If anyone ever wondered what my thought process looks like when I'm trying to figure out where I want to start looking for clues, this is it.
