Curses! Foiled again!


What a strong effort, Yami-san! I'm feeling a little better about you now.

I have similar feelings to you and KB about Sal, so I wouldn't mind at all if we focused there instead for today.

Seeing these posts so far, I am extremely comfortable with my leans, and further posting by Bif and my thinking on Nat20 leaves me considering moving them off my list. Moreso Nat than Bif

I'll post for Kit my thoughts on my leans at lunch.

Isn't this strange, though. You're feeling even better about Nat from his recent posts? Maybe it's because I can only work up vague suspicions on so many people. The rest of you must be so much more confident.

But I didn't get that feeling from Nat-kun... if his only suspicions worth mentioning are Yami and b-minus, and the b-minus one looks especially questionable today... rather than confidence, it feels a bit ominous, doesn't it? Like perhaps he's holding back, not able to freely offer more thoughts.

My feeling on Nat is more to do with my thoughts on KB. I've been thinking over his stance on the matter and have a few suspicions I'll sit on for now but make sense to me.

Ok, well, fwiw, if you are town, this progression doesn't seem natural to me. You said my comment about you in my post was more aggressive then you would expect from me(fwiw, I didn't think there was anything aggressive about that comment), but seemed fine to leave it there. I made no further comments about you before your vote.

Instead, what happened is Bif jumped on. Then shortly after pera jumped on. At which point we get this:

SalTheBard posted:

God job scum. I can't roll my eyes back any father than they already are.



So I can understand your personal feelings ramping up/maybe some adrenaline going there as a result of the sudden votes. But note that I didn't do anything more there. So how did we go from:

SalTheBard posted:

Wow this post seems really aggressive O_o from you.

To here with a vote after on me:

I'm not sure if you are scum or not, my vote was OMGUS, so it's whatever and why I unvoted.

I thought the "Maybe Sal will come and wow me!" was a little excessive since you had got your point across through the body of your post. I can see scum jumping in for an opportunistic lynch. So yeah, I'm at work the rest of the day, probably will respond intermittently from here.

Out of OMGUS votes, KB still seems a bit odd to me. I know feelings probably factored in, but I'm personally more suspicious of pera's vote than KB's atm.

My thoughts on my list. You'll notice a theme:

Bif; I can't read them well, and I can't tell if they are being sycophantic and hiding it behind their, uh, post restriction or if that is a product of it.

Nat20; no strong feeling but that's changing slowly.

Jimmy; already given.

Kit; reads like an eager, serious new player, but I can't follow their logic too well which has got my suspicions up. Normally I can at least follow the thoughts even if I don't agree.

Sal; I have no strong read on him.

pera; I don't know their style but their posts don't seem... helpful. The opposite, even.

I like Jimmy, Kit and pera most.

I feel like if Sal were town, the natural assumption here would be that KB is scum trying to drive a mislynch on him. The fact that he bypasses that train of thought and goes with "I'm not sure why" followed by talking about how being cased made him feel (instead of being suspicious of it) screams scum mindset to me.

So this does kind of segue nicely into something I want to bring up.

There's a cold, hard, reality that comes with wielding dice for a living: not everyone wins. If it were up to me, you'd all win! After all, I make a living off tips - all I'm concerned about is that my players have a good time.

My stated role is simply to make it until the game ends, and to make sure my players are enjoying themselves. I'm choosing my targets at random based on my list (which I think still has two spots on it?). That said, I understand that some of you are rooting for different things. And also that some of you have the ability to kill me at night. I definitely don't want that! So here's where I stand:

To those of you betting the Pass Line - aka "town" - I promise that I'll give you guys all the best information I can to help you get ahead! I feel like I'm one of you at heart, and I'd be right there with you if I hadn't taken the Crap Dealer's Oath:

1. Never leave a game early
2. Let the dice land where they may

To those of you betting the Don'ts - aka "scum" - sometimes the dice don't land town's way. It would be a shame to kill the dealer before you see what happens :ohdearsass:

----

tl;dr - I'm a Survivor, please don't kill me

I was trying to do the "case just enough not to get voted out but not enough to get NK'ed" thing but no one is casing me, which is freaking me out, so I'd rather just claim.

I'm Simon the Digger (Gurren Lagann). I was a Hider since my bro Jon Joe was alive. When my bro is killed I get a revenge kill that is a Juggernaut kill called Giga Drill Break. However since the person who killed my bro also died I'm sort of left with nothing :-/ since Retro killed himself. I can only use my kill on the person that killed my bro (so there is a certain degree of guessing involved) and if I guess incorrectly my kill fails (as Simon would never hurt anyone that didn't wrong him). Like I said I wasn't very creative (which I think is part of why I'm a little "meh" on this game, because my big moment to Giga Drill Break someone was over in the first hour the game was open.

I think we're getting back on the same page now, Burgundy-san. Wasn't that a lot of the justification for not executing B- in the first place? He'd be held accountable to the role he claimed, right?

Solus voting B- at the time they did is still a bit hard to explain, but... how does this sound? I like to think a clever scum team should make sure their people take different positions on the field. One person should always try to get in early on a bus just in case. You never want to have the whole team waiting to join in only when it's too late, after all.
