I'm about to leave, but I can spare a few moments.
I think the discussion around no kill is just performative at this point. I don't believe anybody is seriously considering it, so jumping on that discussion is just noise.
Cosplaying as other players really is NAI.
Voting inactive players is as good an option as any other vote on D1 and could in fact be beneficial, since quiet players tend to just be overlooked until it's too late anyway.

Like fake Sparks is kind of doing some wild shit, but I just don't think that makes them scum. Like I guess it could be scum looking to coast, but Sparks gets himself killed a lot so I don't know why you would pick him other than that it's easy. Think it's better to just try to play mafia than untangle all that garbage

I agree with this for the most part, but I just don't know if I completely agree with the inactive player thing. Last game town killed inactive Geno who only talked about Sorian on day 1, and while town won that, it didn't really get them any new info and just felt like kind of a waste of a day. I just think it's better to off someone else than kill an inactive.

Cosplaying as Sparks is relatively easy and also highly visible. So yeah, it doesn't seem to be the best option for Scum.

Not really, especially because I was thinking of doing the exact same thing before I saw that I rolled town.

If I started posting truffle shuffles would you believe I was Zeke cos I totally am guys
I like this logic and I missed this myself. Anything to say @BooBeard about this other than throwing shade at Lightning?
What was the reason for this again? Just because?

Jman you really think there's no point in keeping your identity a secret? There's a reason we're hiding, what if scum has roles that have to guess the players behind the mask? You gotta think man.

I get the Anthos vote and I honestly think there's better reasoning behind it than a lot of the other votes. I'm kind of leaning there too mostly just because I have not cared for much of anything he's done so far, but I really want to wait until he's back so I can get some more thoughts there.

found a pulse. solid points on BooBeard besides
one other player stands out to me atm
was looking earlier, Char had set up the switch to Wax earlier. reasoning is not very strong (seems to be "RP is wasting time" mostly) but also reads like he feels he needs to justify every action.
would also voted for Anthos. Sans could be onto something with that.

I'll strike Wax and Snacky off the list for today. Wax is casual and has made a fuckton of noise, I'm inclined to believe that there is a townie within that costume. Snacky too was casual for a bit but since then has started to take this all more seriously. I'll add Space Kock to the list, just because he has that mid-tier N1 scum kill air about him but I will convince that I am less certain about this one.
Casual = town hint -argument then leads me to Meow and...NAI. The act ain't noisy enough to make me believe in one alignment over the other. The transition from Meow to a talking Meow will be the moment to look for I guess, but it's not that hard of a transition to make.
Somewhat interested in voting for a some stiff fella who did not fully land on their two feet. Thinking about better reasons too but time is not on my side today so I can only give so much.

I am not Fishing for people to disclose There indivisual identities one at a time. if you read my Original comment My point is Trying to guess is wasting time. We should be 100% treating other players as randoom costumes and just solving. If thats what we are not going to do We could also Mass claim as I doubt Knowing people's names are more benifitial to Scum than town. In general Scum already have a information advantage on Town I doubt Names are they key to there success. Mass claiming as an option saves a shitload of time Town will waste and mafia will use to seem busy.
Once again I don't care much either way we should be Solving the game of mafia not wasting time guessing who's who.
This is an awfully specific Guess here. Got some insider knowledge sir?
I really don't think scum will have a real name mechanic that sounds way too hard of a Handicap on the scum team.
There's a Zero Percent chance Scum have to Guess Players Names because New Players or Returning players from a Year long Break Could have Signed up For this.
we are not "Hiding" this is just a Costume Game.

For a moment there I was worried about Lightning Strikes pulling the identity card as a deflective lie but naaah, that ain't it. Meta has evolved enough that the man behind the curtain is no longer an inevitable vote off before endgame so I am comfortable leaving the judgement up for later.
That be true. Thought that I looked her pronouns up but that might've been Snacky's instead. Good job me, sorry Space Kock.

Anyway, I won't be able to post again if at all before day end, I still think the Wax RP is a scum plot to guarantee a few days in the game and most of you fell into their trap, that's ok. I think if not Wax then at least pressure some like Cat person to post something other than meow.

How on earth would new players sign up for this game?
Char Gar Gothakon

It's a scum role man, not a way to win the game, it won't be full of new players, you're overthinking it. Also I forgot, but Baba Yaga should post a bit as well.
Woodsman
Costume Account (He/Him)
I was more talking about the Geno role you mentioned. What would be the benefit of the cosplay without it? A couple days of life is all well and good, but you can usually get the same result if not better by just playing normally.
Also you assumed you would roll Scum?
Not gonna lie, Char is raising some major red flags for me.
Scooby Snack Monster
Costume Account (He/Him)
hmm char has ignored suspicions against him and instead focused on the paranoia of possible scum RP, also bringing in baba yaga into the conversation for no reason. it feels too easy. someone give me some perspective.

nice spread of people with two votes, according to the spreadsheet.
lightning strikes aka "wouldn't it be great if that's not actually jman"
anthos hasn't posted much outside of that one interaction with spooky kook then gnome
wax, ngl kind of curious to see how the rp develops
boo beard, main argument seems to be flip flopping on whether to kill inactives
town lean on lightning, for now, don't think we'll get much frm anthos flip
i'll take my vote off pazzo and join him on the boo beard train for a bit vote: Boo Beard

I said let's vote an inactive, so I voted Lightning. When I voted, I said that was my vote *for now*. As in, I am open to changing it if Lightning becomes active or if someone else becomes more suspicious. It's Day 1, nothing should be committal. If the argument against me is that I am too wishy-washy, then I don't know what to say. I've been very clear that I don't have any strong feelings on Day 1.

Break time...
Living a few days is more than enough reason to do it. And not always will you get the same result by playing normally, even the best players can get voted out d1. I'm pretty convinced it's a scum ploy tbh.

It’s not just being wishy washy for me though. It’s the way you over explained your thoughts. It’s that of the inactives you picked the one who gave the absolute least info, and who was most likely to just be replaced at the time (which could’ve reinvigorated the slot).
Ghost Bear

To that end, I think I will vote boo beard.

i like scooby snack. although i only remember you as poop monster. blame avatar,
concentrating on wax' sparks impressions feels like fake solving.
char gar's scum pr pointing feels sus. either creating a fake contribution or throwing knowledge about a pr only scum would know about. further replies not cute.
if cat was scum, they would have been forced to be more useful already

Cat is less likely to be scum than the other LARPers because it’s memorable for contributing nothing. I don’t buy arguments that scum team would or could force them to play differently though. Players are just people. I just think that would be a dumb play for scum.
San Franpsycho
Costume Account (She/Her)
Wax is more possible as scum - not saying he is, just comparing. Make a lot of noise, create something to discuss that doesn’t matter, and then fade back. So just keep going and see what people do. This isn’t some mystical day 1. It’s pretty tame tbh. Scum want to blend and get ignored. We have many people lurking on the edges hoping no one thinks about them. Focus on them. It’s not complicated lmao

The Major Problem with Boo Beard is he's not actually playing the game at all.
He left this Comment.
BooBeard said the Vote was "For Now and is open to changing when Lightning Becomes active or Someone is more suspicious."
After I became active I have been waiting this whole time and BooBeard has not gone after anyone at all. Boobeard is not even doubling down and pushing to Vote me out he is Just being defensive about votes on him and that's it.
There's nothing wrong with the Defensiveness But they He niether pushed or started wagons at all besides his Vote on A Zero poster.
The only Recent Post that is actual gameplay is the Most basic townread list ever with zero explanation.
If you think I am scum Push me to be voted out. Or push whoever is most suspect. I just don't buy in this game there's not a single person you don't think deserves a Vote.
I really think Boobeard is scum who did not Want to commit to a Vote on someone so he choose a Zero Poster to Vote for.
There has not been any scumhunting being done. If he were town I would at least expect them to more aggressively scumread me since that's were his Vote is but they are not accusing me of being scum really because they don't have an excuse to make there aggression stick
He left this Comment.
Prodding Votes on Inactive Players is Fine (The way the Vote was Framed did not seem like it was a Prodding Vote but Whatever lets benefit of the Doubt.)

This is kind of a weird post to me to be honest. It's fairly defensive over what did feel like a prod vote to me. Prod votes are safe and a good way to just have a vote down with little pressure. But like, you're here and active now, if the votes didn't fall off we would notice.

If Char is who I think it is, then I get why he's concerned about some wacky powers after the last costume game. He also just feels like he's kind of on an island here, and those kills always don't work out. Feel like it's really easy to read his stand offishness as scum and I'm trying to avoid that mistake this time.
Going to try to see what's going on with Boo before day ends, but I don't really have much time, so if someone can give me some reasons for it, that would be dope.

On the topic of two of the more awkward players so far - reading back through both I think Alien looks worse than Anthos. Alien has popped up multiple times but has really only shit posted (NAI) and then commented on the potential player behind a preplanned flip and talked about no votes which is realllllly easy for scum to do. Anthos is awkward, but there at least at times has been a semblance of asking questions even if they don’t feel like they’ve been particularly productive. I’d put Anthos more towards a null maybe a sliiiight trend towards scum whereas Alien just seems more scummy in general.

ok, ill talk now (audience boos)
ill be honest, its hard to keep track of who's who in this game with all the costumes and stuff, at least so far on d1
theres probably been some people that pinged me at some point, but id have to reread to remember who they were because i did not take notes
i should be here til eod though

boo beard is lying about being new. big risk for town to do, but big risk for scum too unless the team thought they could pull it off. i think he's a good elimination but kind of hope another solid train emerges for better vote data

This is a weird post. We are pretty sure we have players pretending to be other players with really obvious posting styles. It does not get much more meta than that.
Lightning Strikes

I am really sorry about Voting you out if your a new player. You being new does perfectly explain your posting patterns and why your hesitant to push specific people for elimination.
I hope you understand Why the new player claim is Hard to believe in a costume game like this where anyone can lie about being new if the want.
If you are telling the truth about being new and get voted out today I hope there are no Hard feelings and you come back to play more games with us.

Really second guessing my vote. I do not want to Kill BooBeard if they are new.

Thank you for this, that's incredibly kind of you. I was getting in my feelings a bit but this helps.
I totally understand the new player claim is sus in a costume game, that's why I was hoping to not bring it up. With my back against the wall I'm willing to try anything that could possibly prevent me from being voted out.
