Hiipfire, Ajax the Greater, Achaean (town) aligned Son of Telamon has been hanged until dead Day 1.

Mithross, Odysseus, Achaean (town) aligned Achaean Commander has been hanged until dead Day 1.

It is now Battle 1 you have 24 hours to submit actions.

If you are in combat:
1) you can choose one active ability and its target. Passive abilities are noted as such and don't need to be activated.

If you are not in combat:
1) You can sacrifice as many offerings to the gods as you wish, if i receive no PM i will assume 0.
2) You may carry out an Out of Combat (OoC) action. Unless stated otherwise you can only target someone not in the battle party.

This has cropped up a bit so just wanted to clarify

You can sacrifice offerings AS WELL as take another action if you have one.

Your soldiers return, victoriously shouting each others' great deeds in battle!
Most of them anyway

Giuseppe Pizzapie, Diomedes, Achaean (town) aligned Champion of Athena has been slain in battle N1.

The gods however, are not so pleased, and their eye has turned from you this day.

It is now Day 2
Day 2 will be a Standard Majority hangstyle.

This is correct, we have an edge.

Thank you Diqnol for your sacrifice in battle and also for yesterday. You were wrong about my alignment (and I yours), but I hope I use my stay of execution wisely.

I am probably going to vote for merk again today but I would like for people to actually comment on it.

for reference here it is condensed into one post:

- Merk started off with a weak case against me due to the content question I asked at the start of day 1. The case was weak because its underlying points were untrue, and it's unreasonable to think someone could have read the thread and been that mistaken.

- When I called him out on the weaknesses in his case, merk immediately switched his case over to say that a misphrasing I used was slam-dunk scummy. The misphrasing was very minor, not the thrust of my point against him, and not even a totally inaccurate one at that.

- Whenever I commented on the flaws in both his cases, he dismissed addressing them outright because I used words like "silly" and "nonsense" to describe a few of his points.

- Merk acted with a great bravado yesterday regarding his case against me, talking strongly about how it influenced all the votes against me and how it's a "great d1 case that is going to get [me executed." But for all his talk he never actually pushed the case itself; he never engaged with people about his case, he never even said what precisely his case is.


Hypothesis:
Merk is scum though genuinely disengaged with the game over the weekend, posting mainly from his phone. He turns into "autopilot" mode - he posts what he thinks he'd do as town, hoping his reputation and bravado can get him through okay. He thought he saw an easy avenue of attack against a strong town player so he went after me with a weak case. When he realized the case had flaws, rather than roll up his sleeves and make a better one, he just attacked again with whatever he could tell. To avoid drawing attention to his case's weakness, he dismissed my defenses as being rude and unpersuasive, and talked about how strong it was once things were getting down to the crunch.

It really does read like he's playing a caricature of himself. Which is something I often do as scum when I'm having trouble breaking into a game (see: The Tournament of Heroes).

I know it's merk, but merk can be scum just as easily as any of us. I think he made a blunder going after me so quickly and so strongly but without all his ducks in a row, and I hope other people see it, too.

You're not wrong, but even if merk is scum there are several other scum out there, and I'd like to see a shift of focus away from you and Merk, since that builds far more relations that we can use to get scum on the hook.

This point still holds - let's table Ecco/Merk for day 3 unless you have photos of them plunging a knife into somebody or something.

Because we have far more content than the other thread but it is disproportionately revolving around three players.

Sure, I'm just opening strong since I figure there's a pretty good chance I'm going to be on the block again today.

You should replaced diqnol with me on the battle, I think, knowing what I know now about the setup/how battles work/etc., I think I'd be ok to have on the field.

I have been wounded. I investigated diqnol, so of course he died. I was deciding between diqnol, ecco, and merk.

Also since the cat is out of the bag, I have role reason to believe that Madman is town, but they are not investigation related reasons and I will say absolutely nothing more on the subject.

My position hasn't changed but I haven't reread the end of D1 yet. I want to figure out how we ended up with two weak lurker lynches.

Here's the case I had on him yesterday:

Rarity posted:

Anyway, I'm now all caught up on the thread. I think I've already made where I stand pretty clear but just to properly state my main position I think KB pushed back too hard on Ecco's suspicion of him as a way of discrediting that suspicion and since then he has been happy to ride that vote while ignoring all the other content in the thread. His only other reads have been a town read on me which is based only on logic while ignoring the tone of my content and a very hedgey read on Asiina. Not only do I find those to be two weak reads he's also looking at the two players in this thread he knows best which makes it easy to fake reads on them.

hmmmm. My initial reason for suspecting him was his hyper-defensive attitude towards my early side comment, but when he actually dissected his sentences for tone and content I figured he's just a crazyperson (in the kindest sense of the word) and therefore it's a null tell.

Also I posted a poopton day 1 and I can reasonably believe it'd be hard for someone to segregate their strong scum feelings on me to objectively look at other people, if that makes sense.

I dunno I'm just not feeling it.

I think this is scummy. When you know you won't be here for deadline, you should put your vote somewhere it will matter. Surely you agree with one of the reads that is more likely to be voted.

Just before I get to the lurkers I remembered I wanted to bring these up. When I left the thread, Ecco was the lynch leader with a miniscule 3 votes. So even though my vote was the only one on KB it would not have taken a big swing for him to get lynched, especially with double plurality in play. The combination of posts here really rubbed me the wrong way when I first saw them.

yeah he had 1 votes to the lead's 3 but nobody actually wanted to vote for him except for you (and maybe merk, but reasonably merk wasn't budging off me). that's the problem yesterday and why he wasn't a viable candidate.
