At the start of D2 I got a message that said I had a gift. I had the choice to pass the gift to someone or use it on myself. I was tempted to use it on myself but I didn't know what it did. I decided to say gently caress it and pass it on. I decided one of the sub people, as I have respect for MMT I didn't choose her. So that left 3 possible people, and I decided to go with Chaoslord for no real reason. I'm glad that I didn't open that gift now.

I want to believe what Sal is saying about the object, as I have received one as well. However there is one inconsistency about what could be done with it.

My options are to "use", "pass", or do nothing. In opted to do nothing as, I too, don't believe the object is good. I have a bad feeling about it, and instead of passing it to a player I think to be town to use and potentially die over, or accidentally give to scum to use if it does indeed have a benefit.

I think the object might be from scum for ~reasons~, so I plan on not using it and not passing it to anyone.

Those scenarios I posted are assuming scum were able to control me again. I wouldn't use my action unless everyone thought it was a good idea.

For example, let's say we agreed with Monathin that Lupus was very likely to be also be scum, then we could vote out Sal today and have me use my power on Lupus tonight to hopefully just end the game if there are only 4 scum. And if it's 4 scum and me as an SK (it's not!) then you have an easy win lined up.

Think of it not as killing town, but clearing someone albeit in a rather crude way. After all town wins together, so as long as it's not going to actually cause town to lose the game then there is no reason to lynch me today when Sal is caught scum.

Well if Sal did pass an object along, a tracker would track him to the target right? I suppose it is possible that a scum Sal would know this (if the object is of scum origin) and use it as a fake-claim.

I have gut feels Sal is telling the truth about it, but I can't rule out the possibility of a ruse.

I received it at the beginning of D2. I drew a connection from the objects flavor to the trident murder weapon (it's a very loose connection, but it gave me pause when considering using it)

Ugh Sal's big effortpost reads as genuine so I'm starting to have second thoughts, the fact that DB can confirm he has a box is frustrating because I thought there was something there, there may still be something there though.

Sal, the options you got were Pass It On, or Open It, with no "Do Nothing" prompt like DB got?

Do Nothing was an option I had as well but I was worried though that do nothing would be equally as dangerous as opening it. Mine had flavor that made me think it was dangerous.

TMM is the only option, clearly.

I know I'm hammering this point home, but I think more fruitful discussion could happen with him dead. In an ideal world I like TMM and think he's an asset, but with the role he has even if he's town I just don't like him alive.

See this really bothers me and makes me wonder if you are scum. You are saying that you think I am an asset, but you want me dead right now because you don't trust my role.

I've shown you how the numbers play out for pretty much every scenario I can think of right now and we simply can not lose the game if we keep me alive. And sure, the same can be said about lynching me, you certainly won't lose the game if you lynch me right now, but you would lynch another town member instead of lynching the lying scum Sal today.

Or I actually do agree with Monathin that Lupus really needs to be looked at because he is scummy.

While I certainly had a rough start to the game and have been wrong, I have been forthcoming and honest about my role and my actions. I'm posting up a storm and making calls, so the fact that you want me dead just because of my role really makes me doubt you because it's not a town mindset. Sure, there is always a risk, but when we can't lose the game today, why not keep the strong town player even though he has a role you might consider dangerous?

And another thing to consider is that maybe that black ooze thing could make anyone actually do the kill. For all we know, the ooze thing made Max target KB and kill him before I killed Max. We know it can't be the other way around because if KB had targeted Max with a kill then I would have actually protected him.

Or maybe the black ooze is just a one shot deal and scum got lucky that my role had the ability to kill.

It's just the way you keep coming in and saying 'we need to kill TMM because of his role!' gives me the willies.

I think almost 100 percent I or whoever else has been pressing you will be dead if you stay alive another day. Whether by your own choosing or not. MMT would've clearly gone after you, just like Max did, and just like I am doing. I've been constantly after you and you haven't really responded with a "well you might be scum"! until now, which is what I was waiting for, because it's the natural progression of being poked so much. I want to see why you would think that I'm scum considering that you voted yourself at the start of the day and you have zero idea of what is "happening" to you will ever stop, or if you can even control your ability.

There is no upside to your role besides potentially killing scum. Getting rid of you may get rid of a town role that hasn't helped us and provides little value to us the way it's being used, or it eliminates a SK or killing 3P which is a huge win for us.

If it's scum controlling you, you will never be able to hit a scum with your role. The fact is that your role and your reads are not valuable enough to keep alive another day, I really don't care about the exact numbers. It's the hard truth. If you were getting reads wrong and not killing people, I wouldn't be after you this hard. But you're doing both.

Also you'd have to take quite the logical leap for me to be scum wanting you out, seeing as you are benefitting scum by creating a lot of attention and talk focused on you. And they may have a power that can control you to kill for them. If I'm scum I have literally no reason to push you this hard and to see you lynched, you are needed for them right now. You aren't needed for town, which is why I want you lynched.

Ok, sorry for not being around last night. I'll admit I haven't deviated much from thread consensus with my reads, but that's mostly because I agreed with them and they all seemed reasonable votes. I'm never around at deadline, so I have to switch my votes early.

As for reads, DBD's insistence on wanting to lunch TMM (who I think is 3P SK after last night's result) smacks of scum wanting to gain town cred and protect themselves. I do think that TMM is the correct lunch for today, but we should really take a look at DBD after this. Sal's effortpost feels weird, as does his thinking that there are no 3P killers while disbelieving TMM's claim, it simply doesn't add up unless scum has two immediate nightkills, which feels unbalanced. Dunno if it's possible for Ecco games.

Also for what it's worth I received no box.

Thank you for posting. Hopefully you are done lurking so we can get an actual read. I'm just throwing it out there that as someone who didn't go on the sub, to only have 16 posts is woefully pathetic. Thank you for throwing out actual reads instead of just voting with the majority while offering no original content.

I don't know if TMM is a 3p SK or Scum. I feel like that he's scum and I feel like this "black ooze" thing is all bullshit and some excuse cooked up by scumbros. Maybe it's because I just played in a game where everyone was a 3p 1 shot BP SK, but I don't think TMM is a 3p. I've played with town TMM and this isn't town TMM. I've never played in an ecco game before so I'm not sure what to expect there.

Lupus was someone who wasn't even on my radar, until I looked at his post count. I assumed at first that Lupus had gone on the boat with everyone else which would explain why he had so few posts, but he didn't. TO CLARIFY I STILL THINK TMM IS THE CORRECT PLAY TODAY.

D1 posting consists of 9 posts, most of which are talking about Mr. F. Posts this at the end of the night when the cuddle on IS seemed inevitable:

Eh, I still haven't got much of a read on the DB/IS situation. I feel like scum would be more likely to be reactive in this situation, so I'll ##vote IllegallySober in the interest of avoiding a no-hang since probably I won't be around for deadline.

I hate this vote. Note that I like the vote and I'm glad we killed IS, however the "Eh, I'll vote so there isn't a no lynch" is just lazy. Yes I voted for Dick Bastardly (a vote I now sort of regret since I think DB is town), but at least I had reasoning which was that DB had scummy play.

Day 1 was 5 days, Lupus posted 9 times OR 1.8 posts per day.

His Day 2 vote is justifed as:

Did I mention that this was one of 5 posts that he posted? There were 4 posts bussing TMM and commenting on his claim.

Like I said TMM IS THE CORRECT PLAY TODAY, but holy poo poo Lupus looks really scummy as well.
