The more I'm thinking about this, the more I'm feeling this in the feels so, here:

Once upon a time over spring break, my cousins and I were staying with my grandparents.

The truth is, my grandma was in fact an amazing cook. She did, in fact, teach me secrets for BLTs.

On one such day, my cousins were noshing and complaining about how their other grandma sloshed butter all over the bread. Californian kids, you know? It was double-plus gross to them.

Laura: "God, why does she do that?!"

Grandma: "Well, I'll tell you."

Because a very thin layer of butter on the sandwich-side of the bread prevents it soaking up moisture and getting soggy. I don't know how you layer your BLT, but the T could present problems, as could any water-heavy ingredient in any given sammie.

Hey, sorry, I should have noted this as I did in my other game, but I've been/am busy with family this weekend, so I don't have too too much time to post/analyze until tomorrow.

Tendai posted:

Going over my semi-legible notes about my observations, a few things of interest:

Propaganda Machine: Nothing. Literally no notes on this guy of anything I found interesting, which either means I missed something or he's really staying low.

Yeah, I admittedly tend to do that on D1 since it's such a crapshoot. I'd rather save actual posting for having stuff to go on.

My most immediate thought is wanting to scrutinize the poison claims. I think it was mentioned earlier (this is a long thread), but a fakeclaim there would/could lure a doctor over. When/if that happens and they don't die, it's impossible to tell whether or not they were full of it.

Propaganda Machine
Jan 2, 2005

Oh, and those poison claims.

Azuth claimed definite poison from coffee, bunny claimed definite poison from cigarette, and rurea claimed possible poison from tea.

There's reason to suspect any given claimed poison, but since it's roughly equal to expecting a townie to want to avoid death it's ultimately a null read for the two who are fully claiming it. So, of those three, I like rurea's the least. Getting the tea messed with after somebody claimed coffee feels like fake flavor piggybacking, and being so tentative about it... if you're not sure, why would you bring it up in such a half-assed way? I don't see anything good coming from that.

Yeah it was however literally every game I've been in, :kiddo: all four :kiddo: , claim to modkill lurkers but, never do. Hence that threat carries no weight unless it actually happens with frequency. We wouldn't have people kvetching about lurkers if it did happen with frequency.

I think Allen modkilled in NYC '77. It's been over a year since I played regularly but I've definitely seen mods follow through with it.

I was mistaken moat was not a modkill see:

Hmm, okay. I got confused by all of moat's ghostposting.

I agree with the point that Azuth's plentiful posting doesn't equate to content. Heck, Tendai called me out for precisely that, and she was right to do so.

honestly, not sure. azuth's not rly flipping any of my scum warning signs because hes acting rly dumb but also he is rly dumb so thats not unusual. rurea is just always perpetually annoyed by how gbs people play so thats not unusual either. tendai's the only one that feels like is acting more unusual esp because it felt like she was trying to figure out what roles town had and my flavor info, also a little wary of don (besides that initial post i made which was very wish-washy and not definitive, just something i wanted to point out) because he comes in a bit late and then joins in on the bandwagon on me, but he couldve been busy so thats not super hard either. but no super hard reads on anyone else, unfortunately. also have my eyes on glowku who joined in on the bandwagon early and anomalous for the same reason, but those arent super hard against them, just a little bit hmmmmmmm.

Propaganda Machine

This is all over the place, and I'm having trouble making heads or tails of it. We also have deadline coming up. So, among the people with votes:

AA is reading very, very town to me. I don't know if his points are all correct, but he's doing some good scumhunting. I do like his key points on Azuth, namely that he's basing all of his suspicions on the votes thrown at Ganny and is also being incredibly flippant. I'm not voting for AA today.

I want to vote Azuth, but I also kind of don't just so we can see how his poison claim holds up. If he dies, well, he's dead and it saves us from having wasted a lynch. If he lives, I think we'll all want to know how that happened. Of course, I'd want any doctors to stay in the woodwork, so the burden of proof would be on him. I'd be willing to vote for him.

As I've said, I'm not...quite...feeling the case on Tendai, but the more she relies on setup spec, the less I'm liking her.

Rurea is a null read until the poison claim comes under scrutiny. I still don't like the wishy-washy flavor PM claim. That said, his arguments against Azuth are sound, but it's trivial to be able to make good arguments against Azuth at this point.

flirp is banned, so lol. Wonder how shadow will handle it? Modkill/death seems reasonable, but he could also just turn around and give Lowtax :10bux: in short enough order to stay in the game. Regardless, keeping votes on him feels like a complete waste for now.

So all that said, flirp and AA are the only votes I'd be completely unwilling to cast today. The others have me torn. Azuth has a firm claim, but he's been posting really poorly. Rurea's claim was garbage and his posting beyond that has been low on content. Tendai is a distant third. Her setup spec is bad, but she's also looking at individuals and doing what she can to that end, so I'm willing to give her the benefit of the doubt for now.

##vote flerp for the sake of not losing a lynch

The thing is, a lot of people were getting scummy vibes from him, so the policy lynch here comes down to the question of whether or not we really think he's scum. If he is, we're potentially wasting the lynch on him. If he's not, you're right. I'll take another look through his posts before I hit the sack, and I'll vote for him if I have to if only to avoid the no-lynch.

Annnnd I reread flirp, and he's striking me as more town than scum. It's difficult to suss out, because he admits his case on TDP is weak very shortly after he makes it. He posts a lot of one-liners with a typing style that hurts my brain, but his reasoning is generally sound. Then we get his paragraph about the people he feels like commenting on, and it's virtually all weird meta, which I don't like (and I said that). He follows it up with not having strong reads on anybody in particular, which strikes me as...slightly bad? But his final thought is against Tendai, which I've been raising an eyebrow at all day, but it's reasonable enough.

This is just a really weird spot. He got his first three votes because people thought he looked scummy, and he'd be getting the last four votes because we think he's town, since if he gets modkilled and we mislynch today, we're losing two town for the price of one.

Arrrrrgh I really need to go to bed.

I hate no-lynches, and I've given you what I have to say about flirp. If I vote here it puts him at -2. Like I said, this is a very strange circumstance. I've never seen a ban in the middle of a game before.

I guess it might count as a lynch on a lurker, but again, the ban makes that weird and he definitely wasn't lurking up to that point.
