And I think my head is burning,

To be done with all this measuring of proof.

So if this claim looks legit, is everything going to conveniently fizzle out now that everyone bandwagonned on what looked like a sure thing, and the rug got pulled out?

Start casting votes, people. Just on your second choice if it wasn't webmeister. If they're all spread out, no one will get hammered, but we can see who's willing to vote for who, and hopefully pick out another good lynchtrain to start moving on, if that's what we gotta do.

My second choice here is Splode still.

just flagging something up re the TOML death:

We need to be open to the possibility of there being a scum day cop who fingered TOML

Either that or they got very lucky last night

Or have potentially infiltrated a masonry?

This is pretty insane at the moment. It's much more likely that TOML was killed for being the only person to talk about information from night actions and scum took a chance on him. At least I'm pretty sure he was the only person saying there'd be more info in the morning.

Those On My Left posted:

incorrect. there'll probably be night actions to look into (who the scum kills at night, whether any other interesting stuff happens at night, eg a cop doing an investigation and sharing the results)

Those On My Left posted:

the real argument for lynching anidav is that he has proven himself capable of completely loving up town even when he is a townie. picking a person to lynch on d1 is difficult - there's not a lot to go on. he's as good a lynch as anyone.

while lynching anidav might give us a bit of information on d2, i would expect that the real info will come from night actions

if i had to pick one person who i suspect, other than webmaster, i'd say milky. it's obvious from his flavour posts that he's invested in the game, but he's also being extremely non-committal and giving nothing away, good or bad; it's mostly just meaningless "let's do what's right for the town guys" rhetoric without any call to action behind it. he doesn't really have much to defend him either, as his only real contribution has been voting for anidav once the lynch train was well underway and the conclusion was obvious. on the other hand i feel pretty bad about this because he's obviously having a great time playing, but,

Me? I made a point about how Splode was talking up about how he had suspicions about Tirade based on being a hammer or just prior to hammer, but didn't actually vote for them until someone else agreed with him without adding anything more to the conversation, so I'm suspicious of him. soag made some good points about webmeister which is why I'm currently voting for him since he's our current best option I guess.

##vote black_tangled

He's my primary suspect, but I might switch to another person just to get a lynch out (so probably webmeister).

What I don't like though is how the early bandwagon is too static, there's not enough discussion and whichever vote gains a lead early is basically the default winner. That's too easy to manipulate imo.

I thought we had a decent amount of discussion today, especially compared to yesterday's total chaos. But without people actually placing votes to put some weight behind their opinions, it's hard to get anywhere. There should be some more people reporting in now that we're at the 2 hour mark.

My two robo-cents:

I have no loving idea who is acting scummy and who isn't, because unlike the rest of you I haven't trained in the mountains with Mafia Master Mills to learn the secret ways.

And I don't have any opinion one way or the other on beets "Always Lynch Day One" rule, but I think that lynching anidav has hosed us up at least for today.

Everyone came screaming into the game determined to lynch day one, for legit reasons (anidavs expected meltdown screwing town) or not legit reasons (some kind of hate-boner carry over for anidav on previous days), which would make it loving hard to scum hunt with all the poo poo being flung back and forth between the pro and anti Anidav camps, and also would give any scum a good loving cover by voting not to lynch him, especially now that its revealed he was a loving cop.

We had an opening day full of white noise and shitposting vitriol, and its cost us two cops and gotten us very little information (well, very little information for me to work on anyway, as I'm not a mafia savant like half the players in here are acting like).

I have no idea who the gently caress to vote for tonight, and I don't just want to leap on a bandwagon for the sake of scoring a lynch.

We still have an hour or so to go, so I'm gonna play close attention and see what happens and maybe cast a vote then.

Not quite, no, but it's not just about quantity. This is the first time you've ever actually made any accusations, and it only came right after I had voted for you.

But okay, let's be reasonable. Who are you Top 4 scummy looking players, and why are they there? Let's hear your side.

I'm not that good at mafia, and I don't think most people here are, I'm just posting in the moment.

On a side note, there is definitely a small group of people who are way too good at playing buddy-buddy, and will therefore have to get lynched at some point.

I debated legit throwing out his (assumed) name but don't want t to tip scum off. On the other hand, Milky is a Transformers savant so may just have pulled the whole thing out of his arse.
