Coq au Nandos: Nov 7, 2006; I think I would say to my daughters if they were to ask me this question... A shitpost is the greatest gift that you can give someone, the ultimate gift of giving and don't give it to someone lightly, that's what I would say.

Matthew Beet posted:

"Hi I'm Coq, I post wishy washy poo poo like this to try and cover my arse if the lynchee flips town. I do this because I'm concerned people will think I'm too late jumping in on a lynch if i jump on now. I don't realise that in doing so, this does the opposite of what i wanted and draws attention to me. You can tell this post is white noise, because I don't offer anything of worth up and instead ask everyone else to make suggestions, giving the illusion i'm helping."

Come off it. I'm happy to D1 lynch, but I want a better reason than "Anidav... Again".

Having decided I don't like this train on Anidav very much afterall, I have mostly arbitrarily chosen this vote as a lazy vote on Anidav. Typically scum want to fit in, but they don't like to say a lot for fear of not fitting in, so this short and sweet post from FS is a good example of what a scum might post to keep the train rolling on Anidav.

I tossed around a couple of options as I was putting together that post but wasn't really convinced on any. Mills is, as ever, a good option, and one I'd consider. Bif not voting yet is par for the course, but she's been a bit quiet. And Old Dirty Cumbags is a dark horse.

You'll need to spell it out, mafia expert.

If I had to choose, I'd vote for Beet, Kat or Milky. Beet because contrary to every other d1 he's not flinging poo poo everywhere like a monkey on crystal meth. He's content to turbo anidav which differs from the last few games. Kat or Milky for lazy dogpiles on the anidav train in the sweet spot of 4 or 5 votes in.

I was joke voting to begin with but stuck with it when the ball got rolling to see what poo poo got stirred. Then you were dropping hints about being able to fly and generally having a mini meltdown so still seems like as good a vote as any.

I agree it's better to have an informed vote than blind bandwagon, but are we going to get a lynch going on anyone else in time?

Bif, TOML and Beet are all being uncharacteristically quiet this game (compared to last game at least).

The problem with Auspol games is usually people get characteristically quiet due to the game spanning across work days. It's REALLY hard to tell a quiet scum from a town with a day job.

Anidav posted:

The fact that you put analysis into this lovely day one post implies that you are putting in a small effort to out-town the town.

Auspol town always gets into a shitflinging frenzy on day one where a large majority of the posts are jabs, jokes or meaningless. You however have come to stand out and try being a helpful town on day 1.

You are either reading too much into this or are scummy for the fact that you're trying to fish hard out of day one posts.

Framing the argument is a key part of a mafia team, do it too early and too often and you will get lynched.

Which is it? Effort post D1 or enjoy the jokes and go along for the ride?

He was scum with me in the previous Auspol game. Both Bif and Tirade have shown mercy for me so far and this is probably because I am a former comrade to them. It could also be a scumtell but I would like you to know that the previous game had us 3 and Avshalom who isn't playing on a scum team. I believe this to be a vital piece of information if you are trying to form a conclusion on the quoted poster.

Splode posted:

Correct, this does appear to me to be a defensive action. He is merely lucky Tirade posted first which makes it appear slightly less defensive. A link between Tirade and Sky_Coq is probable but wouldn't be revealled so early unless portions of the scum team are inexperienced and no co-coordinating posts.

Digging further; A vote on me has a very mixed message. For one most of the votes were locked in, without a message. It's basically "It sure is good to be town" in voting form. It kills me and no one has dirty hands.

Mithranderp posted:

Last-minute "mea culpa"? Interesting ploy.

If your think I have any ploys in play at the moment then you over-estimate my abilities. The numbers are high because they most likely involve the entire scum team; I by no means see it as a death sentence. Just a fact that there are eager factions at play.
