Not a load of time this morning. Will check in before day's end.

1. BiscuitFreak69 [-] (Darryl) - Strikes me as town. Maybe a little tunneling and not as much broad focus, but when he pulls back to look broadly, seems to have a fair eye and is trying to solve. Would not lynch today.
2. Blargonaut [m] - This is a weird Blarg but strikes me as town. Would not lynch today.
3. Bronx-Man [m] - Absent but at least came in with a reason. Would not lynch today.
4. cabot [m] - is cabot. I always want to trust cabot and I also never trust cabot and I'm having a hard time getting past that meta read with game play. Would probably not lynch today because i want to see where he goes.
6. Dusk Soldier [m] - Where'd he go? Threw some shade around, commented on a given, disappeared. May change my mind if/when he comes back, but that feels scummy and certainly not like scumhunting.
7. El Topo [m] - Had him as town d1 but am less sure today. No real read.
8. Faddy [m] - I have no reason to be suspicious of Faddy at this time. Would not lynch today.
9. flatearthpandas [m] - Waiting to see what feps does as we come to the close of this phase. Mostly town feelings but keeping an open mind here.
10. hey_monkey [f] - is still not scum. somedaaaaaaaaaay
11. Karkador [m] - On my watch list. Not sure I'd make him a lynch candidate today. In fact, I think, like cabot, I want to see more interaction before I decide, but there's time yet today.
13. Kyanrute [m] - One of my strongest town reads.
14. Nin1000 [m] - Probably town. Addressed him a few times with the misreading the thread so won't repeat. Would not lynch today.
15. Nomadic Sparks [m] - A tough one this time. Also addressed him a few times. Possible lynch, but not strongly.
16. CrimsonFist [m] - Where'd he go? Would possibly lynch.
17. Sorian [m] - So scummy (in a Sorian way) that it almost seems too obvious. Watching him. Would possibly lynch today.

vote: Dusk Soldier

I said earlier why not dusk. If someone can put a good argument for monkey or blarg I'm now open. Still leaning Sorian. Like i said, not leaning El topo or nin
 

Kyanrute

kyan-rute
Early days are nice for policy lynches for sure, do it now than later. Not against Bronx / Dusk. Pref Dusk because Bronx went all in with the unnecessary info dump.

What I am not sure about if the policy lynch is worth it over a deeper look at team murder CCS.

Thread has not evolved. Very good point. We're stagnant, which is a problem with a lynch like Kawl's. The unfortunate downside. Am totally open to looking at others but I expect some action today. Hopefully we will get some things to come out.
 

cabot

Why.
I'd agree with Dusk and Darryl.

I also think the possibility of a Kyan late bus is there, but he's still seeming alright and not raising red flags otherwise.

I disagree with Blarg, It was early enough that I wouldn't count it as alignment indicative.

Disagree on Sorian from the perspective of he seems to have the exact same reasoning I did for not voting Kawl.


Monkey proof thing just isnt how I'd play it, and like nin I could see doing it to get more town points. I'm still juggling the idea that scum monkey started an unintended bus on her team mate but in the end rode it out to gain some cred.

The proof thing aligns with that a bit more. It's not a great case though. I'd rather move on.


What's your read on Kark?

Kark is playing similar to Love Boat 2, where he basically coasted and then thought up a "gambit" excuse later. Without the courtesy of a "gambit."

Yeah, Kark's contributions basically amount to throwing a bit of shade on Sorian. Not really engaging with anything else.

oops, i didn't realize we started. this schedule is throwing me off


The timing here is suspect. Plus why would Kark check the thread at that time if he thought it hadn't started? It wasn't near a deadline time.


Also within ten minutes of his name being mentioned by 3 players.
 

Blargonaut

SCUM UP!

I don't understand this

Please explain your quote chain

To whom are you referring
 

cabot

Why.
Anyone who isnt Kark were talking about Kark, this was a space of around ~13 minutes.

5 minutes after being discussed, Kark pops in with his first post of the day phase.
 

cabot

Why.
Kark's Sorian vote is the outlier against my case, though looking back at the day phase, he doesn't post after placing a vote on sorian and deadline hitting.

Possible he wasn't there to try and save Kawl?
 

cabot

Why.
That he either got a heads up in scum chat, or he just saw discussion gathering around him and interjected.
 

cabot

Why.
I'm unconvinced there's some great logic in the scum plan to let Kawl die, I think inactivity is the more likely outcome.
 

cabot

Why.
I agree with him on inactivity being the cause yeah.


Crimson hasn't done enough, I'm hoping some red brings him in.


He has thrown some light shade at Kark when I asked him for his read yesterday, that's about it.
 

Blargonaut

SCUM UP!
So cabot, what do you think about the players on the CCS train, if inactivity and not outnumbering was what got Kawl?
 

cabot

Why.
I'd say Sorian or nin are the best bets of finding scum in the CCS pile.


I still feel okay around Topo, though he's been too quiet this phase.


Faddy I am uncertain on, but I'm not sure if a scum would really start that discussion on day 1 regarding why were we chosen. It's too easy a bait.
 

cabot

Why.
The reference CCS made was an in joke between us coupled with the fact no one has counter claimed.


There's no reason to let that lie fester if it was.

Man, usually I have so much more quoted in the morning. The conversation is only now actually moving on a bit.

I said earlier why not dusk. If someone can put a good argument for monkey or blarg I'm now open. Still leaning Sorian. Like i said, not leaning El topo or nin

Optimally, I would not lynch either today anyway. Blarg isn't reading scum at all and I'm really not in the mood for the distraction of having to vote him away. Monkey I'm less sure of but I'm not overly suspicious of anything. She's clearly analyzing the thread. cabot also seems fine.

Disappointed that Topo still hasn't responded to me and I really find that sarcasm last night odd. Happy to see more Dusk votes only for the fact that it is a spot that needs pressure.

Keep in mind day ends today, would like more activity leading into day end.
 

Faddy

of, having, or involving transitory whims
Seems to be a bit of momentum behind my CrimsonFist pick

I can't help but feel the same thing happened with my CCS pick...

I'm more trying to prod him just now, I dunno he needs to post some content so I can get a read.

Who's scummier CrimsonFist or Dusk Soldier

Eh, probably about equal? Slight nudge to Dusk since he's actually been kept up with the thread and is absent. Crimson still doesn't appear to have read the thread.

Crimson.

Dusk is at least consistent.

Crimson is replacing nothing with nothing. Would guess neutral at this point. Flips tell us there may be a neutral.

SCUM UP!
people get serious

We really should be getting rid of one of the CCS crew. After Kawl's flip there's no sense in targeting out of that circle right now

Topo tried to push CCS to get heat off Kawl, that's a tell

? The generic win cons tell me nothing about there being a neutral.
 

El Topo

Spanish for "The Topo"
I don't like your obsession with Kark, cabot. Not saying his (possibly deliberate) inactivity isn't problematic, but this gimmick of yours is as well for me.
Could you condense your reasoning for him, separated from your principle lynch?

The inactivity wasn't deliberate on my part. I really didn't realize the game day had started until about 24hrs of it had passed.

They don't. Hence why i asked why people were so sure about vig.

However, anemic scum response to kawl makes me lean more towards a neutral. As you said earlier, makes more sense for four scum. As you said, makes more sense to protect kawl than bus.

I've given reasons before.


He's been quiet
He's not made a gambit yet
I highlighted his vote towards day end

I'm unsure how to read him going hard on Sorian yet, I'm past the point of analyzing Kark Sorian face offs.


You gonna give us some thoughts or just continue throwing shade at others.

Let me clarify this (and I'll update the OP). Majority will still "end the day," but the flip will happen at the scheduled time.
 

Dusk Soldier

Not contagious
Won't have much free time until 2 hours before deadline.

vote: Sorian

Don't see myself voting outside of the CCS crew today, so this will be a place holder vote until I get caught back up in the game.

These are really empty reasons to push a lynch on me. I haven't made a gambit yet? So your charge is, "he's trying to play decently and not make outrageous claims"?

I could see why that would worry you as a mafia player, but I haven't really come around to that accusation on you yet.

I'm unsure how to read him going hard on Sorian yet, I'm past the point of analyzing Kark Sorian face offs.

What you don't want to do is talk about substance. You are pretty clearly dismissing anything actually worth talking about today.

Instead, you're cheesing it by trying to make some metagame commentary about my activity - informed by ONE past game I was in.

The funny thing is, you weren't in LB2 - and I would expect that the mafia mates I had then would be the most familiar with my behavior (Sorian, who already brought it up). So where did you get your info from?

Person acts out of character? Don't see anything particularly dodgy about that. You usually take the lead in the game with some semblance of a play, you've been mostly mute except when Sorian hits.

I know the games you played with me, and you were always at the forefront (NX gambit, Love Boat after catching out Blarg) and ones I specc'd (Batman)

I will be frank regarding you/Sorian whenever I see you two face off I seriously question if it's game related, you always go at each other. Sorian isn't my top target today but I'm alright if he goes to be honest, he should ideally be gone before endgame is a possibility.

Outside of that I don't think I can read anything game related from your arguments

What else?

You're basing things off what dead players did, which I think is pointless. You also think scum had some master plan to kill kawl, which I think is crap. You disappeared after plonking a vote on Sorian, which as scum is potentially a reason why Kawl bit it.

Out of character, based on what? Who said I have to play the same way every time? These are goalposts that are very easy for you to move. That's the whole problem with this line of attack.

I know the games you played with me, and you were always at the forefront (NX gambit, Love Boat after catching out Blarg) and ones I specc'd (Batman)

So we can establish you did not play in or spec Love Boat 2? That's the only game I've been Mafia in.

So I'll say again, the players who would be most familiar with my behavior and thought process in that game would be the Mafia team at the time (two of who are present in this game, Sorian and FEP). Sorian already made this comment early on in Day 1.

Now you're saying it, too. In fact, you're really really behind the idea. What convinced you to do this? Sorian's offhanded remark about it? You just failed to mention even spectating LB2.

So either he really really convinced you with one sentence, or you've discussed this behind the scenes with somebody.

Considering you've pulled stunts in 100% of games we've played together, and 100% of the ones ive seen you spectating, yes thats out of character.


You don't have to play the same way everytime obviously, but i don't feel like you've particularly acted different and towny in this game. You've just acted different.

I also chased you before Sorian made a comment, his comment came from me asking about you.

I would agree that JUST talking about inactives is lazy as hell and it ain't scumhunting. There's gotta be something else there.

But we've got a lot of people just hanging around. It's difficult to scum hunt in this particular game because it's the same few voices again and again. I doubt that's all town but most are. And that's gonna get in our way, too, cannibalizing each other.

Hmm. Idly wondering how many people have talked about more than three other players with any substance. Seems like a lot of people have been hyper focused on one or two or just doing drive-bys.
