People I have just about no impression of this game:
  • BiscuitFreak69
  • Bronx-Man
  • CCS -a few comments that don't really leave an impression one way or another for me.
  • Dusk Soldier
  • Kawl
  • Kevyt (has he checked in, even?)

That's a third of the game, not a quarter. christ.

Kinda iffy (oh my goodness, look how wishy-washy)
  • Blargonaut, who's done little so far. I don't know that it's necessarily AI, but I have a high awareness of Blarg's absence and it's raising my hackles.
  • cabot & Sorian - pairing these two because I have some trouble reading them both due to some similarities between town and scum play. They hide well. And I'm loath to just immediately jump to two relatively active players because, honestly, people who post more are gonna have more potential to stick out. Am well aware this suspicion could be based entirely in meta and general concern that these two can play everyone like damn fiddles.
  • Faddy - Faddy disappearing when people started pushing him raises some red flags for me.

People I feel some kinda way about (yeah, I dunno either)
  • Karkador, despite not being here much. My first thought was oh, town, look at Kark being Kark, but low activity, not defending his no lynch vote... I suppose that could be a front. Doubt I'd lynch him today.
  • nin1000 - it's always hard to read nin early, but I feel also that he's at least here, trying to put some work in, so while I am uncertain, would probably not lynch today.
  • squidyj - I always get suspicious of the people who spend more time dictating to others rather than doing themselves. It's a good way to look like an engaged town leader without doing anything at all. Here and not in the iff category because I'm not sure how it's going to develop. I know squidy really does have feelings about how town should play, but it's completely possible he's leveraging those into a town appearance. Am not entirely averse to lynching, but wouldn't be my first choice.

People I lean town on at the moment
  • El Topo
  • flatearthpandas - yeah, Sorian, I see what you're pointing out as inconsistent but I think that's just feps being feps. Reads town to me. Kyan and feps are my strongest townreads at the moment.
  • Kyanrute

vote: Faddy

Would lynch:
8. Faddy [m] - arguing against town interest because why exactly?
16. Kevyt [m] (Seath) - even playing?

3. Bronx-Man [m] - playing?
6. Dusk Soldier [m] - playing?

2. Blargonaut [m]
7. El Topo [m]
1. BiscuitFreak69 [-] (Darryl)
11. Karkador [m]
12. Kawl [m]

Would not lynch:

18. Squidyj [m] - good people
9. flatearthpandas [m] - first time playing with cabot, don't want to end it too quick. Also, totally not shading squid

its not the same as other games I've seen/played with you in, you had a clear voice and usually an agenda to follow.

You've been much more cautious here.


I'm still deciding whether that's because you're scum this time or because you've had some rather uh traumatic losses.
Click to expand...
No, it's probably much more likely to be chalked up to some outside issues and for that I'm sorry. Out of my control but I'm trying. I will say outside of the weirdness of the interface I really dislike being in a game with such a high percentage of inactives. It makes me question everything. Literally all the scum could be there. We have no idea. I find it frustrating and since I'm already in a mood, it doesn't help.

But read it as you will.
 
cabot

cabot

Why.
I read Kark's no vote as playing himself, it came off more to me as an attempt to sell me as 'Kark being Kark' than a genuine action.


I noted Sorian's point about his reluctance to be himself when scum, but I'm not particularly convinced. People can adapt.

Yep. I can go in this direction because without much of anything around it, it could easily be a front. But I think it may be too early to say. Don't think he should be given a pass for long, though.

I almost voted Kawl. I've not really played with him (I think he appeared in anime after I was gone?) but yes, that does often seem to be the case. But I also know that if I had, someone would come sailing in here, snarking about how voting someone who's got a low post count is easy, blah blah blah.

I find Kark's D1 zzz stance NAI. But then again zzz stances, if used against an abstract player, should be considered a negative imo. Who knows.

There is a lot of adapting to be done in that case.

Why.
I'm at a gig during countdown expiry, and I don't have any real semblance of a scum read, just options of useful lynches, so it's not exactly a comfortable bum position.

It is officially squeaky bum time.

Others, please help.

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.
Click to expand...

And here lies the big issue. That's what happened most if not a of the games.
Town took out the most vocal players that seemed scummy and those that were flying under the radar and everyone knew they were, no one took action until it was too late. I hope i am wrong here and it will change in the next day phase.

But let this be said. Everyone who is not that active until now and starts their activitiy in the next day phase will be on my watch list.

What I just read was people calling me out for derailing the thread then basing all their reads off that derailment.

of, having, or involving transitory whims
1. BiscuitFreak69 [-] (Darryl) - no clue, nothing to go on
2. Blargonaut [m] - Blarg being Blarg at the moment. When he isn't Blarg that is when I worry
3. Bronx-Man [m] - absent, probably town Bronx
4. cabot [m] - feisty
5. CCS [m] - less aggressive than usual
6. Dusk Soldier [m] - IDK he never leaves an impression on me
7. El Topo [m] - attempting things...
8. Faddy [m] - Me, Town.
9. flatearthpandas [m] - virtue signalling townie
10. hey_monkey [f] - virtue signalling townie
11. Karkador [m] - MIA, couple of games where he has been town he has been more active
12. Kawl [m] - MIA, quiet kawl is scum kawl... maybe. After R&M shitshow I'll wait
13. Kyanrute [m] - getting scum vibes, trying to play the smart townie
14. Nin1000 [m] - no real impression
15. Nomadic Sparks [m] - too dumb to be scum
16. Kevyt [m] (Seath) - MIA
17. Sorian [m] - should probably just lynch him on day 1 rather than get played by him again
18. Squidyj [m] - attempting things...

CCS and Kark are my most worrisome reads right now.

Do you think FEP directly asking Sorian about the cop is strange?

Why just Sorian and why ask just after Sorian said he won't be back until near end of day.
 
cabot

cabot

Why.
Wasn't it one of the things they were arguing about yesterday?

Coupled with the fact that Sorian has said FEPs is one of his more suspicious targets, it's not exactly surprising FEPs is trying to directly get answers from him.


The timing is irrelevant, he said he'd be back so leaving him something to respond to is normal.

It might just be me, but it feels like they're trying to police the game and push it down certain avenues and away from others.
 
cabot

Why.
I would like people to give me reasons so I can understand their thinking.


It's quite different to think about winning as a scum vs as a Town.


Unless you'd like me to not post at all, which seems almost as dumb.


I don't know why you didn't answer me directly, considering your statement could include me, if you define 'Confirmed Town' list as people I'd rather not lynch this day phase.

It's not just the high activity, not just the commenting on every thing to use as a foothold in his positioning, it's empty praise such as:

"I'd consider monkey as one of if not the most active person so far."

Is that praise? I took it as fact based on post count. Don't get me wrong, I'm leaning toward Scumrian myself but that doesn't feel like the strongest example considering it can be read another way, particularly as it was being used to correct a statement.

coral all over the world are dying via "bleaching", a stress reaction akin to people having a fever

Their photosynthesising components are suffering and the coral detects the malfunctioning as something to be removed from their systems via overheating like a fever

They overheat and all that's left are their skeletons

do you think we should keep the GAMERS SANS FRONTIERES slogan

I got 2 versions here, the original and an English version "GAMERS W/O BORDERS"?

I also got "PLAY W/O BORDERS"

hey Kark what font did you use for the GAMERS SANS FRONTIERES bit

It's not quite Cooper Hewitt, is it a variant

Commenting on everything is just how Sorian plays. If he's scum, he's fooling me. Maybe it's that really relaxed avatar brainwashing me into thinking his tone is cooler than it really is.

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.

Yea, it didn't reflect very well on you Monkey. It was definitely a response that sounded like it was likely to have originated from a scum player.

We have about 5 hours. I'm going to put my vote down on No Lynch.

Vote: No Lynch

I'm okay with a day #1 lynch and if people decide to go that route then I'll be back to move my vote. The player with the most dirt, imo, is heymonkey, so I'd be inclined to vote for them.

My thoughts are we should vote out the lowest activity poster.

Can't seem to find the post count tool though.
Click to expand...
That would, I think, be Kawl or Bronx, since Kevyt is being replaced. I have them each at one post, maybe two if I missed one. Then there's "activity," which can be measured all sorts of ways.

why on earth would a scum say such a thing and how do you reach this possibility that this somehow negates- you know what, I don't care, do what you're gonna do. I cannot be bothered.

So CCS trusts Faddy and promotes Faddy and Faddy votes CCS. Huh. It was a joke/test vote, so I'd forgotten, but it's still there.

Ouro, are Kawl and Bronx gonna get replaced if they don't turn up today?

I think something needs to be done about people not posting, frankly. But hey! some people are using randomizers or not lynching at all!

I'm looking toward Faddy, Sorian, and Blarg, but I do have those concerns that it's just because they stick out over people with a handful or posts or no real content. At that point, if we're looking at people who are just producing more and thus have more to scrutinize, are we scum hunting or are we making a more obvious move even than lynching inactives?
