Did you find your role surprisingly on the nose?
In Love Boat 2, Sorian and Sawneeks claimed to be town hookers, negative utility to the town virgin, and sailed that boat to victory. I even argued against it and said kill them and let myself be convinced, which I will regret basically forever.
basically forever.

People don't need an excuse to post on the first day, nor have you offered any meaningful insight about this. Hopefully this is just an act of yours.
It's admittedly amusing though to see you shitpost and at the same time complain about others "giving people an excuse to post".
What did I do? D:

If we lynch Sorian on day one, doesn't that mean he's won?
What are you talking about?
Yes
Obviously randomly assigned and I would have said as much before Ouro even said anything.
A gambit so strong, I started it two games ago for just this moment.
I always have a shitpost here and there but pretending it's even close to a majority of my posts is disingenuous. This isn't an act, I think you fishing for useless activity is either you trying to look busy or putting cover out for others.

Yea I'm a bit torn on the fake cop claim. I agree with Cabot on Nins posts.
I gotta say I like the no lynchers. We have no newish blood, we got a lot of biases. The most effective day 1 technique we have had in our meta has been flailing around day 1 and lynching inactives or people who rarely play with us. That's gonna be messy this game, not sure what we will get out of it will be worth it.

Thanks
Mainly because he's saying a bunch of dumb stuff and giving outs to scum team for everything they ever wanted to do in their lives propped up by some cynical bullshit 'nothing ever matters anyway' attitude. And it's like he's trying really hard to be seen doing all this. So I don't want to lynch him, I don't think he's scum, i think he's either being an idiot or trying to get some of that negative attention.
If we were just going to play the same usual shit game towns play these days I'd say lynch sorian, he's taking hard stances over things that he should know better than to think are scum indicative and he's twice ducked my request to talk about Blarg which I don't think he'd duck if he were town. It's possible sorian and Blarg are on a scum team together or scum Sorian doesn't want to commit to anything with respect to blarg so he can later on manipulate players' reactions to Blargs polarizing playstyle.
But what I actually want to do is what I said I wanted to do, Karkador has done nothing, bronx has done nothing, a lot of people have done nothing in this game and they should die for it.
Additionally when I called the reaction sicilian I meant you were reading too deeply into my 'cop claim'. It's fundamentally non-informational, it doesn't actually tell you anything about me or the state of the game and people spending a lot of their time in this day phase talking about it are either.
a. people who are having trouble realizing that my statement, lie or not could just as easily have come from any role or alignment.
b. people who are having trouble staying in the conversation and are looking for something to latch on to.
group a could be anybody
group b could be anybody but is predisposed towards scum alignments.

A starting point, like usual. Hitting scum day 1 would be great but that point is to have a thread to start pulling. Leaving it up to scum to kill first always sounds good but it doesn't actually work, they can just kill whoever has been useless and then you have a day 2 that runs the same as a normal day 1 but with one less person.
Nomad Sparkster
This is some wild shit maynard
Are you naturally this scummy or did you learn this somehow?
I've ducked you asking about Blarg once, if you asked a second time then I skimmed your post and didn't read it. Regardless, I'll continue to ignore the Blarg baiting. He's an easy read once I've seen a day or two go by. He's not good at hiding as scum. I don't need to thread derail into a whole thing over him.

This is just a haphazard recollection of my past games, but I feel like I reference day #1 activity more than any other day. What I'm worried about are people here being too cozy with each other and this will just shit up the day #1 results in a way I'm not used to dealing with but we can play through it still and I'm not going to "woe is me" and stew over town deciding we shouldn't No Lynch.

Yea I dunno how you read it like that. It is in our meta to flail around at easy victims day #1. This game is different because there are a lot of people who have played with each other, just wasn't quite sure how it was all going to work out. I can see the first day on this game being a bit cordial and leading to a whole lot of inconclusiveness which is why I was feeling good both with a No Lynch and with the people who thought that was a good idea already
And you thought ducking me was the way for it to not blow up into something big? I don't buy that.
I don't know how by the books Ouro is being but this likely isn't a vote.
I ignore things I don't care about. Get in line with the other things I've already skimmed this game, I don't need to buy into every little (joke) comment people post.

Yawn. I said straight up I didn't take the claim serious. No interest in lynching squid. But I do enjoy fake narratives Sorian. One might say I saw this coming.
Sorry, I've been in a mood the last few days and it's making me sarcastic and snarky. I was slant-referring to conclusions being drawn already and not in a particularly productive way.
I'll try to settle down. It's not helping me or anyone else.
But for real, I do expect we will at least get a flip. I don't think the No Lynch votes will prevail.
Will read back over some things tomorrow, but I've two observations/questions for now:
1. Nomadic's sure different. Player evolution or something else?
2. Curious about the spats we've witnessed so far. Some have started and stopped awfully quickly. Manufactured or legit? Real reasons to pile on a few people over others? Or just town picking at town?

It's not highlighted so it's not anything.
I'm aware that you positioned yourself out of the action by saying you didn't take it seriously before then proceeding to say that if someone else takes it seriously then you recommend a lynching. Literally paint by the numbers shade throwing.
Nomadic isn't different at all. He's throwing complete accusations with zero sense to them which is par for the course. What makes you say he's any different than love boat?
Also, which spats have stopped quickly? I'm not noticing anyone backing down much aside from maybe cabot picking at nin a bit with no follow through but that seems to be a case of both being semi-inactive (nin much more than cabot).

Sure, buddy
So before I go to bed I'm going to throw out a request for reads as we're nearing the end of this day phase. I'm very happy with where my vote is right now and I think it would be a mistake to lynch anyone contributing today but I still want to hear about reads. Ideally from everybody.
Like I said, I'm meh on FEP and Faddy at this stage. There's a few people acting counter to good play but those two seem to stick out as doing it for reasons that could be covering for others.
If I had to swing town leans right now I'd have to say Monkey, cabot, and to a lesser degree Nomadic. Monkey is asking a lot of questions and while some of them aren't the best, they aren't softballs. cabot went straight for nin's throat which looks like a good sign to me. Scum cabot usually wallflowers more. Nomadic is a much weaker read in an already weak list because I don't know how a scum Nomad would act. I'd think direct teammates would reign him in but eh, he didn't really seem to care to show up to chat with Natiko at all in love boat so idk. He reads the same as usual to me though.
Shout out to biscuits and a light scum read because he's usually more pleasant when scum but he also just flips between brash and nice from game to game so not really anything definitive there.

People I wouldn't lynch:
18. Squidyj [m]
13. Kyanrute [m]
9. flatearthpandas [m]
5. CCS [m]
7. El Topo [m]
Would consider the following for lynch:
17. Sorian [m]
10. hey_monkey [f]
15. Nomadic Sparks [m]
8. Faddy [m]
2. Blargonaut [m]
???????? (Need more from these people):

3. Bronx-Man [m]
11. Karkador [m]
6. Dusk Soldier [m]
12. Kawl [m]
14. Nin1000 [m]
16. Kevyt [m] (Seath)
For those I feel good about, Topo reads fairly genuine to me, I think his idea is rather uh 'optimistic' at best, but it was a thought that no one else came up with and it's odd enough to be a little weird for scum to openly go for. I can see where he's coming from in his posts and it doesn't seem particularly weird or out of character (albeit it's been a while since we last played). Probably the most positive I feel on anyone so far.
Kyan is difficult to read as always, but he's been good in this phase so far, engaging and reacting to various threads going on, I'm not willing to lynch him today.
I don't particularly see anything from fep right now, seems fairly normal, but he's got Sorian's attention which is interesting. Nothing here for me to actively want him dead for.
Squidy and CCS seem pretty much as expected at this stage in the game.
Monkey is the one I have strongest reaction to currently, she seems pretty low-key so far in this game, which I'm having trouble adjusting to right now considering it's rather different from before. She's offering some commentary on things people have said but it's all very wishy washy and unusually clean. There's no bite yet.
Faddy I don't particularly scum read, but going for motivation of invitation is annoying and I feel my point is proven by the fact Dusk wants to be engaged with that idea. He hasn't given much outside of that at all.
Dusk himself hasn't don't enough for me to get a read on him.
Sorian seems more relaxed than I remember, and I don't read anything particularly strongly Town from him. His playstyle is something I'd rather constantly question through the game since he easily can take control of the crowd. Would probably be the least desired lynch option of the group because he's useful in the early game regardless of alignment.
Sparks has came in and said Day 1 is useless. It is not. I think his style also can easily be scum just as well as Town, so eliminating the need to constantly think about it would be nice.
Blarg's been posting lots but nothing I can read from, his early activity I have as noteworthy but NAI. Again, would lynch to eliminate the potential noise from the game.
Everyone in the last grouping outside of Nin haven't posted enough for me to offer any real thoughts. Nin is part blind spot, he's not been raising red flags since that initial point I brought up regarding being less confident than normal.

No one in particular (except maybe Blarg but I'm not going to knock someone for feeding into Blarg nonsense, it can be fun). His choice of topic just seems so out there for no reason. Trying to get people to divert into talking about why Ouro selected them for this game is just such a waste of time topic and if it had actually gotten off the ground would have killed real discussion for quite a few hours.

I am in the group of going after everyone besides me.
I see the issue of the usual 'let's go and lynch inactives' with this game.
Then again a lot of people still have not checked in or have not really said anything. I won't ygo into detail what is contribution and what is not, since a lot of folks are going to say that i am just cluttering the thread with shit that is not interesting.
Be thankful that I am not posting gif's.

you've posted 4 times nin and I've gotten nothing from it, aside from you think Nomadic is noteworthy.
A few people have brought up this idea of worthwhile contribution, threw out some points that don't mean squat, then sort of just disappeared.
What does talking about what is contributive achieve exactly? it's the same tangent as 'Day 1 is useless'
Sure, if you're gonna not really talk about anything, it's useless.

Sorian seems like the usual guy who keeps talking but points out stuff that could be noteworthy, but is so I na way that seems condescending
Hey monkey has not really been active but the post she made seemed OK.
Cabot, started aggressive on me and kept your hands on my throat ( you have a point there for be being a non entity)
Nomadic sparks has made really short posts that seemed to go nowhere but he is in my mind throwing things at the wall and hoping that something sticks.
El Topo has the strongest positive from my gut, he kept it short but clean. Somewhat reserved I like that.
Everyone else had not made any impression that lasts for now.
I hope that's a start cabot. Will be active for the rest of the day

I'd consider monkey as one of if not the most active person so far.
(Bolding isn't enough to be noticed from what I just noticed which is why I just clicked everything on the line).
I'd say closer to Rick and Morty but different from LB2 and games previous, which is why I posited it could be evolution. Fewer cryptic remarks, more engagement in the thread, but I agree with cabot that he's always difficult to get an alignment read on. Not sure I'd lynch him today (what would it yield besides the rote flip?) but always sort of lingers in the back of my mind.
The pile against Faddy, for one, but that could be due to Faddy sort of disappearing.
Where are yours?
Man, I hear this constantly. It's literally just the way I talk, and women hedging more, explaining more, using a billion words when they could use one, that's al backed up by sociocultural research, too. I'd be thrilled to never have to address this again. There's plenty to holler at me about this game if you were so inclined. This feels like go-go-gadget reach.
Sorian, I'd disagree with you - I don't think scum cabot is a wallflower. I think scum cabot searches for a perceived weakness in a townie or two and tries to worm in there to exploit it. But scum cabot also tries to guide discussion more perhaps than this cabot has done, so I guess we'll see.
I do think this is a big problem. Like a quarter of the roster has said very little. Maybe it's the venue. I feel kinda weird playing here, having only played ever before on GAF. This is taking some adjustment, and I've certainly not been at my best. So maybe that's a factor. But regardless, we have a large slice of the roster doing nothing, even if they've checked in. I dunno if lynching them is the answer or not but if they all suddenly appear d2, we've got a whole new dynamic to consider. That doesn't make d1 useless; it just makes play difficult in general.
