Stuff that stuck out from me from the reactions to my BS D1 claims so far:

Natural 20 posted:

##vote imgay to free Yami from his terrifying compliment prison.

Complimentison?

Complison?

Prisoliment?

Seems to have accepted my claim a little bit too easily. While yes, it is imgay they're voting, they didn't question it at all. Bit suspect to me.

jimmydalad posted:

One way to find out~ ##vote yami

Seems REALLY eager to kill people. I was already suspect of how quickly they jumped on the claim, but now that I read their post history their only contest is about lunching me... or lunching imgay. There's no comments on the VT claim, imgay's dracula stuff or anything like that.

Other than that Podima seems way too serious for Day 1, but they way they post I'm not sure if they understand the concept of fun so :shrug:

Vote is going to stay on my eternal rival, Bif, for now, but I'd be willing to vote either of nat20 or jimmy too.

Yes. Grieving of Gakku or whatever it's called is the only game we've had together since Fate/Stay. Like I said that was my way of joking with a close friend.

Yeah that was how I read it. It was a crazy game that happened months ago, and we haven't really played together much since then, so to me it was a normal thing to say.

What doesn't make sense to me:

b-minus1 posted:

Agreed. Definitely getting scum pings from Sal

Humalong says he has a scum read on Sal. B- jumps in to agree without really clarifying why. Then, Bif asks Sal if he's still referencing Fate/Stay and if the two of us have played together since.

B-, unprompted, answers:

b-minus1 posted:

I can answer that. They have played together a few times since fate stay

(a) This isn't true.
(b) The only motivation I can think of for b- to post this at all is that he's self-conscious scum who needs a reason to have a scum read on Sal.

##vote B-

What's the case on Sal? He feels town to me and I think he's the patsy.

But if you're that interested in casing me, shouldn't my interactions with Kitiara catch your interest as well? What did you think about them?

Just as expected from Dr. Chao Slord! I didn't notice his retraction at first, but your diligence and attention to detail will save everyone from letting me mislead them.

I have to admit, the idea that another painfully ordinary person with no worthwhile talent could be here among you all... I couldn't get my mind off it for some reason.

Didn't I already comment on those briefly? I'm fairly sure I did.

Yami Fenrir posted:

Honestly i think bif and hum were more scummy in that exchange than kit was. Bifs "you didnt vote me either!1! Is very weak of a response imo. Hum's reply is weird too.

##vote bif

A little bit briefer than I thought. Basically, my problem with that exchange was the following:

Bifauxnen posted:

I'm not really sure what that means, but I love all of you for being such symbols of hope with your wonderful powers and talents!

It's strange that Sal claims to just be vanilla, then. Is he just that confident in his Mafia ability?!

Kitiara posted:

For whatever it’s worth, I found this post to be quite scummy. It felt like bif wanted people to start suspecting Sal, but without committing to a vote or directly accusing him.

Not that I necessarily believe Sal’s claim, but the phrasing of that post pinged me.

Bifauxnen posted:

Haha! You haven't voted me either, Kitiara-san!

I would gladly be a stepping stone for the town. But if someone were to take advantage of how I'm hard to understand, and use that to craft a fake case of despair... that I would never forgive.

##vote Kitiara

I feel like your reaction is heavily overblown here. While I don't necesarily agree with Kit there, I can see the logic behind it. It's also not necessarily worth voting someone over, in my opinion.

It's ESPECIALLY not worth going "You're saying all this bad stuff about me but not voting!1!1! over. " It's a snappy response to an okayish point. One that essentially ignores the point of the argument made to attack an easy 'weak point' of it.

Kitiara posted:

Lol you’re voting me just because I called out one of your posts? There’s no case there at all. Do you really think I’m scum?

I’m a relatively new player and I’m trying to learn, but every game I feel like I’m damned if I do and damned if I don’t. I was told to not just say “I find bif suspicious and instead quote exactly what rubs me the wrong way. I was giving you a chance to respond before voting for you. Your response didn’t sell me as town, but it was probably more aggressive than what i think scum would be so I’m still not voting for you, but will be carefully watching your posts. Ta.

For what it's worth, this post is needlessly defensive, but it seems more levelheaded and honest than Bif's response to me. Which, incidentally, makes Humalong's response even more jarring to me:

Mr. Humalong posted:

Hmm, yeah this is caught scum.

This is the only post Humalong made about the exchange. It looks too much of an attempt to jump on a bandwagon for me to ignore. Especially since they didn't comment on Bif's side of that exchange whatsoever, and the rest of their post history seems to be largely filler.

What a compliment! To call my one vote a bandwagon, do you think I'm that persuasive?

Of course, Podima-kun had voted Kitiara once earlier, for a different reason... that reply to me wasn't the only reason to look at Kitiara with suspicion.

I think my biggest scum pick would be imgay. He might be joking about his role, but at the very least it sounds 3P and not town. B- I can’t really read, but Jimmy seems to be lurking a lot more than normal/when he is town. I just woke up (11:30am :wink: ), but I’ll switch to the pc and read through b-, imgay, yourself, possibly pod and and Jimmy.

Humanlong was starting to ping me, but surely scum couldn’t be Lynch-proof. So I’m assuming he’s town.

For a long time, humans have been taught that if you try hard enough, you can accomplish anything. Even if we weren't told this directly, you'd know it just by looking at the world around us. The Internet, TV, and newspapers are overflowing with hopeful messages that say exactly that... But people who can't win...people who don't try to win...people who try their best and still can't win...

They are all worthless trash.

There are two kinds of people in this world: Those who are born with worth, and everybody else. No matter how hard a lowly human tries, they will never be the same as someone who was born worthy. They say that "effort breeds success"... But that's a complete lie. The world is not that accomodating. No matter how hard a VT tries, they will never become a watcher... No matter how much a penguin tries, there's no way it will ever soar through the sky... Which means...unworthy humans will never become worthy, no matter what they do. People with talent don't become talented... They're just born with their abilities right from the start.

That's right...just like you guys. That's why I have so much respect for you all. Ah, just so you know, what I feel is different from admiration. Admiration is...wishing you could be like the object of your admiration. But what I feel is not so self-serving. How should I put it? What I feel is...more pure... More like a selfless love that wants nothing in return.
