Two votes to lynch, we've still got just under 2 hours


Tirade I know it's perfectly natural to not want to be lynched yourself, but you're not giving us any good reason not to, AND you're now voting for someone you think might be town.

Here's a reason not to vote for me - you served up Kleedrac on a platter as your number one scum pick, and there's also been a bunch of other people who have noted that he's been a bit of a whitenoise poster. It would have been pretty easy to push for him as a compromise candidate since no-one really has a strong read on anyone. I had no reason to go into bat for him, but instead I explained my thinking and spent like 4 posts defending him.

It's a choice between someone I think is town and someone I know is town.

before anyone gets worried about why I'm more interested in a lynch than in advocating a target: 1) my secret project requires that I be involved in two successful lynches, 2) I don't have a good read on anyone yet.

Successful meaning where the target dies or are revealed as scum?
The former sounds like a scum project requirement.

I don't feel really suspicious about either of those options.

also toml hates me, if i had to get rid of someone when i had no firm suspicion to go on i would go for fruity or thomas and fruity's not playing, so i'd probably do the same to him tbh


i feel a bit bad for voting tirade because i dont have any strong gut feel about him

and noone has even been defending him so we wont get much to work with



new idea: is there anyone that people have been going balls to the wall to defend/criticise? I say we lynch them and see how they flip to inform other decisions


Maybe sphyxy?

Don't worry, I'm not really mad. It's just that I decided to do a big effortpost like you, then wmb points out that it's a bit early to be doing them.

I did a big awesome effortpost once first thing on D2, that I was so invested in I PMed it to Gaspy the mod just in case I was nightkilled and couldn't post it, cause I wanted to gloat if I was right. A fair bit of it was right. :buddy:

....but that was when we successfully flipped a scum on D1 and there was lots of frantic behavior to analyze since that scum literally forgot the game was on and never showed up. :geno:

So I like effortposts when they got some real effort behind them, but I don't have anything like that to work up a big master conspiracy theory yet. But anyway, looks like this could pick up some steam here:

I honestly feel like me and gaspy are two townies in a slapfight. It happens all the goddamn time and scum just sit back and split their votes between the two of us.

By rights I should be supportive of Beet for egging on Gaspy earlier, but Beet is actually at the top of my list. He's done gently caress all, whereas normally he's sticking his neck out like crazy making wild accusations.

Bif is slightly behind Beet because at least she seemed kinda concerned about kommando loving up his secret project.

Yeah sorry Bif. I don't have a solid read on anyone and so I'm honestly just frustrated.

I'm sure there's a good couple of scum on my vote but I really don't know who. I guess I'll vote Kleedrac to save my skin 'cause I get the feeling I can be more valuable to town than he's been, but goddamn if it's not annoying.

imo voting kleedrac is a dumb loving move this time around

first day, ok, getting rid of dead weight is good


but now, if we vote off kleedrac, where does that get us? noone has criticised him, noone has defended him, if he flips town we're hosed and have another day of scratching our heads and staring at each other tomorrow


better to lynch someone with an opinion so we can at least look at how other people have reacted to them

note: this doesnt apply if we're likely to somehow get :siren: data :siren: tomorrow somehow from an investigation

note2 that this is not an attempt to get someone to roleclaim

Auspol is killing off non auspol players.
But don't say lynching lurkers is not a good idea.
Though, that policy does adversely affect non Australian time zone goons.

Don't worry Mith, I read the whole thing. tbh it helps to see other people's thoughts for me, as at the moment I don't know much about strategy (see: roleclaiming already, I guess) or other people's play styles. I know my posting isn't nearly as prolific as the rest of you but I'll try and be better. Aaaand of course it just so happens that from ~now to 9pm is the busiest time for me irl, while I deal with kids' bedtimes, etc.

Maybe doing a player-by-player breakdown will help.

Asphyxious: Has drawn some attention as a potential scum but I'm not sure. Perhaps this works in their favour, for reasons other than being an actual scum, or maybe they're just a big mouth. I may be new but I've read enough to know that the latter is certainly possible, but it still seems like an overly dumb move to be so blatantly antagonistic - particularly after I thought they did quite well in one night werewolf to avoid attention, right up until Bif outed both of us as werewolves. Leaning slightly toward town.
Bifauxnen: From werewolf, I get the impression she's a canny player and very strategic. Of course, this would help no matter which team she's on. I suppose she was quick to jump on voting Amnistar out, but so were a lot of people. Don't have enough to make a decision yet, so undecided.
Gough Supressant: Not much to go on, really. Seems pretty intent on lynching Gaspy, but I guess that's understandable. Undecided.
Kleedrac: Seems happy to vote for me after I've claimed both town and role, without explaining why this is suspicious, only that I'm not posting much. Seems like being quiet is an easy way to get targeted, which would make voting for me an excellent ruse to get another townie lynched. Currently my number one pick for scum.
Kommando: Has claimed Lady Skye, which points to being town. Not much else to go on for me, though. Leaning toward town.
Matthew Beet: No idea, really. Some friendly banter going on with Gaspy but that's about it.
Mithranderp: Hasn't given much away yet, but has been trying to get me to post more, which probably counts in her favour, as I guess a scum would want to encourage my silence in the hope I get lynched. Not much to go on, though.
thatbastardken: No idea. Hasn't done anything particularly noteworthy to my untrained eye, so I guess I'll just leave it at that for now.
Those On My Left: Throwing out quite a few accusations, some of which seem to be flimsy. Of course, that could just be their play style. 50/50 I guess?
Tirade: Seems to be getting a lot of attention as a possible scum but I'm not convinced. Has made some good points and doesn't appear to be actively screwing anyone over. Not necessarily town but not suspicious.
white mans burping: Hasn't really made much impression either way. Undecided.
Zetsubou-san: I'm losing the ability to make judgements and need to cook dinner, so I'll just say undecided.

I know there's probably a lot of hemming and hawing but I guess I'm a cautious person. I will try to :justpost: more though.

I read a whole lot of words here saying you're not sure on anyone except Kleedrac because basically he voted you.

Oh and toml 50/50 for the same reasoning two others before you have said.
