nothing has happened as far as I can tell

This seems to be the case.

The closest thing to actual play thus far seem jokey altogether.

Also a lot of jumping at nothing which is marginally suspicious.

I'll make a quick summary of what did make me go hmmmm.

Put me on the far bottom right of that triangle, tia.

Also, apparently someone thought the newbie that was incredibly suspicious in pequod despite being town there wasn't suspicious enough, because...

**I AM A MILLER.** *This is not a joke claim.*

I am Jin, the Stranger, and I am a town aligned miller because I'm a *weird foreigner*. I am claiming day one because, well, miller. This is apparently what you do as a miller. I do not have any powers, an as such I am essentially VT.

Podima posted:

Boooooo first-post Miller fullclaims are so boring. I believe it though.

Cops should watch out, this likely means the usual Eccogame sanity hijinks are at play.

This sort of self-correction I cannot help finding suspicious. It looks like a preemptive defense to an anticipated criticism, the kind of image control I would think our deceptive killer is practicing. Ironically it also draws attention to the repeated vagueness of AA's claims, which perhaps I may not have noticed if not for this self correction.

It is enough for now to earn my attention. ##unvote ##vote AA

The interaction is weird here if Keane is serious. Asiina' s post looked like normal joke phase posting so it makes Keane look weird if he is serious. I don’t think he is though.

I feel like Keane is being serious. I feel like the Asiina prodding is less serious than the scrutiny on Max.

Actually the fact that Asiina: isn't seething with rage / posting / hasn't quit probably means she is town.

I cannot help but notice that Keane has avoided reciprocating my friendly glare. Has he reconsidered the sincerity of our bond, now suspecting me of committing the very crime I intend to solve? Or perhaps he distances himself from the scrutiny of my gaze, fearful of what he may reveal in his reply? My left eye maintains the friendly glare, but curls to add a note of disappointment.

Master Ishtil had perfected the skill of looking in two places at once, and I now practice it by training my right eye upon Podima, who had accused me of dark wizardry and sinister magicks. It is true that I have embraced such rumors to enhance my reputation; employers pay more when they believe they are buying supernatural service. Podima is right to fear me, whether for the sake of the guild or merely for himself. Even so, it is alarming that my reputation has spread so far that I am now blamed for the actions of some distant sailor, despite never having left the lands of Chamaz, to my eternal regret.

I am Alkham, Iskana's Curse. I have only ever been Alkham, and though my hands are stained red with blood, the sins I carry are my own alone. I will be judged for the crimes I have committed in my long journey for vengeance, and for the crimes I have yet to commit, but never for the crimes of others. If Podima thinks he knows me for the actions of someone else, my glare assures that he will soon know disappointment.

Don't love how you dropped the vote and waited to explain it till asked, but at least you had the explanation ready even if it's a weak one. (P.S. I've said the same thing about millers in previous games, pretty sure. I find instant claims exceptionally boring gameplay.)

AA's post was difficult to follow in the first place (though apparently others read it more easily than I did) and I'm still not sure I like it. Looking back again, he mentions Max a couple times but never makes an alignment call on him.

Anomalous Amalgam posted:

For obvious reasons this is suspicious, but as voiced... it's one of their earlier posts so they did the safe and right play it truly a miller, but still... a low suspicion for obvious reasons.


This also pinged me. Mafia parenting in general makes me but also I think the cautionary call out to the cop is a bit suspicious, it sets up expectations and that's low level suspicious to me.


The interaction is weird here if Keane is serious. Asiina' s post looked like normal joke phase posting so it makes Keane look weird if he is serious. I don't think he is though.

Now if he isn't serious and is joking I think Most actually looks weird for:


Admittedly I quoted this because I think it's funny, but it seems to me to be playing up that interaction as more than it was.


This reads weird as Keane points out, but it too is weird from context.

Max makes a maybe joking meta alignment call on Asiina

Moat prods for another judgment call.

So that's two in my book for moat looking weird, but also two for Keane calling something out.

I feel like Keane is being serious. I feel like the Asiina prodding is less serious than the scrutiny on Max.

I feel like moat looks the weirdest, but I don't know that, that means anything. Seems to be the only thing really jumping out at me so.

Feel like this is trying really hard to be a gotcha way too early D1. I don't like it.

Anomalous Amalgam posted:

Should I have had to? Max is important only in context of the two players I was discussing and independently I called out his post as suspicious. I feel like you are either misunderstanding what I had to say about Max or are misrepresenting me.

It was a suspicion list based solely on what I found curious at that time so needing to have to express something concrete for something expressed as nebulous is weird.
