Is there any reason to wait any longer? I mean merk had all weekend to check in and he also had the entire work day today.

I'll be around for the rest of the night, but I don't know what merk could say to save himself at this point.

There really isn't, at this point.

The second day was much quieter than the first; probably because it was over a holy day, and most of the servants, either by force of habit or by genuine piety, were attending services to the Gods and practicing quiet mindfulness. They still needed to find a traitor though, and merknus gallant seemed like a good choice.

Alas they were wrong.


:s: merk, Vilmo, Servant (town-aligned vanilla), was executed day 2. :s:

It is now Night 2! Submit your actions ASAP.

======

Standard prods are going out to the following players:

- SSV, for having fewer posts than the mod.
- Prop Machine, ibid.
- Ninth, ibid.
- Meinberg, ibid.
- Atomic Soda, ibid.
- Tremendous Taste, for not posting once all game day :|

In my mind though every player but TremTa actually played the game today, so don't worry, this prod is mostly pro forma. I'm 100% confident the night will be quick and the game's pace will pick up tomorrow! :)

spontaneous edit: yeah I'm going to not prod everyone privately, just TremTa. I'm satisfied with SSV through Soda's posting today. You're all doing fine enough imo. This public pseudo-prod is enough.

The servants awoke to the breakfast chime on the third day of their revolution. Some of the other servants had gotten up early, like in the old days, and prepared a Master's Breakfast for everyone at Lacenda. Fried eggs, roasted potatoes with spicy Najaquay sauce, and sliced onions sauteed in olive oil. Unfortunately, someone wasn't present at such a sumptuous breakfast. Mayor Glowku was in his room, his face red and purple, his mouth foamed over, his own fingers clutching at his throat. Checking around, it was clear, despite being a lowly servant, that he was in league with the masters. Good riddance.

:s: Mayor Glowku, Jon, Corrupt Servant (mafia-aligned goon), was poisoned night 2. :s:

It is now Day 3!

:h: With 16 alive it takes 9 votes to execute.
:d: Day 3 deadline: Thursday, August 11th, ~11PM EDT.

Looking at Inf:

So I'm unhappy about things right now because I defended his lovely play and it turns out, oh, he was actually scum (sorry Kash!)

Infinitum posted:

You said we shouldn't waste a cop on AR tonight.
If AR stops a lynch he becomes a miller.
Tonight is a fantastic night to investigate him.

Why wouldn't you want to check him out before he uses his ability and verify his claim?

This is interesting to me. He wanted to move a cop action on to AR. I'm not sure if they had a watcher or redirector, or they knew AR wasn't on their team so fine, investigate them, but something to keep in mind.

Not liking the casing and justification going on for AR as the lynch candidate.
I agree it's suss as gently caress to announce something like governor D1 with 0 pressure on him, but we need to also look at it from another angle in that we can potentially test his claim.

I disagree that he should be the current lynch candidate for announcing it.

:siren: AR 2 questions :siren:
1.) Can you self pardon?
2.) Does you ability specify lynches or executions that you can pardon?

We might be looking at a situation where we have a scum ability that can execute a player when they reach a certain number of votes, which is why I feel we should hold off voting AR for the moment (As there is still plenty of time left in the day)

Current suspicions would be falling onto Podima, for flavour hunting.

So I don't know if both of those comments are distancing from a scum buddy or if they are trying to push suspicion onto an innocent townie.

You seem genuinely pissed off with him? Is it the way Kash is playing this game, or due to previous play?

Just trying to get a feel of where this massive reaction is coming from.

I've felt good about TMM so far. I'm not . . . entirely certain how to take this interaction because TMM is like, the only person that Inf actually talks to like a human being. I want to lean town though.

Meinberg posted:

I can't make any promises that I'll be more active, but I'll try my darnedest. In my experience, Ecco is fairly good about providing fake claims, but usually only on demand.

While 2-shot governor is something that I could see Ecco giving out, the description of the role as AR describes it sounds very much like a 3p role.

So either Ecco handicapped the town by giving us a bad role, AR is 3p, or AR is lying. Given the circumstances, the third possibility would suggest that AR is indeed scum.

Since it's likely that AR is anti-town

##unvote
##vote AR


I'm still incredibly suspicious as to why Meinberg, and others, immediately said "this must be 3P!" and not "this must be scum!"

Kinda same. Pods doing the wishy washy thing with AR still bugs me, but I want to let it slide at the moment and look at some other cases, because we can't just focus on the same people over and over again.

Eccogame's follow their own rules.

So, Meinberg makes this post, justifying the existence of AR's role. Clearly they are aware of how wonky Ecco games can be. I was too, which is why I was giving AR the benefit of the doubt.

Then Meinberg flips on that in their next post by saying AR is probably 3P and votes them. I really don't like that.

Also, since I was looking over Inf, I just wanted to consolidate his joke votes during D1 when he wasn't unvoting:

First up is Kash with the 'Rolling Start' video removed:

Next is Taste:

Infinitum posted:

OK I am going to bed.

I am going to do you a solid Kash and move my vote onto TT.

##vote Tremendous Taste

Did you see my vote move?

Followed by Gamer:

Infinitum posted:

##vote Gamerofthegame

Then there is BK:

Infinitum posted:

No no, I have an ability called Moving Vote

Watch it move

##vote BottleKnight

Finally back to Kash:

Infinitum posted:

You said that already.

Scum found

##vote Kashuno

Finally, he unvotes and then moves on to 'serious' play which involves mostly casing AR/AA.

Now, we know Kash was town, but I'm thinking that one of the other three might be a scum buddy. Since I'm already suspicious of him, I'm thinking it's BK.

Yeah, I could see Meinberg being scum because he did seem all over the place about AR and then he basically disappeared for pretty much all of D2.

I agree with this as well, I haven't been feeling hot on BK this game.

As for Gamer, well, I am surprised no one is making a case for him. Usually Gamer is a lightning rod for scum to pick apart. The fact that no one is doing that makes me suspicious. But also Gamer hasn't posted much, so there's that.

Basically Gamer is a giant blind spot for me.

I don't have the best feeling about him. Like I said, his reasoning feels reasonable, but very boilerplate and superficial. I don't know his mafia meta too well so I can see that either as scummy deflection or Meinberg Meinberging it up (in which case who the hell knows).

Either way, his posts have essentially been white noise.

Need to go back and read SSV and BK. It's annoying that D2 was so weird and quiet.
