Just got to where I was going. I’m having dinner with friends so will be distracted from now till likely deadline or shortly after. I skimmed B- quickly and they seem to be closer to may wavelength than not on most things. I’d vote here to avoid NL but don’t feel great about it. merk posted:Ok. ##unvote; ##vote b- merk posted:I don't think it's you, but if it's you vs me, it's not gonna be me. merk posted:##unvote; ##vote Hal I don’t like this series of posts from merk but I guess it’s more likely self-preservation than not. I don’t want to vote without seeing status and I can’t load VF. Can someone post it please? Preview edit: EccoRaven posted:I knew I was forgetting something, thanks. I haven't run a game since 2018 so that's my excuse. No problem

If you're reading self preservation, I think you don't get where I'm at this game. I'm more trying to figure out who I think is scum. I'm not even persuading yet which is usually what I spend the most time doing. I don't think I was even thinking about my own lynch in those posts. I was just hunting for scum.

Is there a Fisk case? He hasn't pinged me I'm either direction thus far. I think Mona said something earlier.

I had characterized Fisk's posting earlier as kind of empty but since then he's instead done this selective flitting about the edges and selectively engaging bit that I'm not sure it's genuine. It's not the strongest scumread but it's the best I got this late in the day and I would really prefer to avoid lunching binus.

After a few minutes you've calmed her down, and your conversation is going much more smoothly. She's asking you emotionally-neutral details about your life - where you're from, what you do, what's that like - and you feel yourself gaining better footing. That is, until there is a brief lull, then: "Have you ever been in a serious relationship before?" You're taken aback. You didn't think she'd be so blunt about it. "What do you mean, serious?" "You're an unmarried woman at thirty, either you've never been in a serious relationship, or you have and it ended. I want to know which is it." You feel your heart start to beat more quickly. "I've dated before. I've had boyfriends. But never anyone like Robert." "So they weren't serious relationships." "No, well, one was very serious." Why did you say that. "What was he like?" Crap. "He was," you pause. You steel yourself for what's to come. "He was my boyfriend at university. He was kind to me. He - I was very ugly when I was younger, and he met me when I was growing out of it but I was still," you make a gesture with your hand. "But he thought I was beautiful. He said he saw my real self, the one I kept hiding in shame. He helped me grow into a better, more confident person." Madame Prae has been nodding along, paying very close attention, but also looking at you, as if she's analyzing your every gesture. She asks, "So why didn't it work out?" "When we graduated university, we-" "How long were you together?" she interrupts. "About five years." Here it comes. "Five years of just dating? You never proposed to him?" And there it is. You feel your diaphragm begin to clench. "No. We were engaged. When we graduated university we started to fight, a lot. Little disagreements that we'd blow out of proportion, that sort of thing. I had to get more schooling to be an alchemist, and he worked outside the home to pay our bills that my guild stipend wouldn't cover. Even at the time I knew we were just, like, transferring our stress about work and school onto each other, but we still fought, all the time. They got more intense and more passionate as time went on, and during one of these fights he said that I didn't take him seriously as a partner, because if I did I'd have proposed by now. So I proposed to him then and there. It was really stupid. We broke up a few months later when we finally came to our senses." You can't tell how she feels about this; she's had no reaction to any detail of your story. She sips her water, and asks "do you still keep in touch?" "No. He wrote me a letter a few years ago, he's doing well, but I can't ever see him again." Madame Prae slightly nods, and changes the subject. Jonathan Fisk, I was once engaged to another man (town-aligned vanilla), revealed. Night actions.

You're explaining to Madame Prae what your parents were like when a server interrupts you with your food - your warm, freshly baked croissant, and her sandwich. You bite into your small pastry before you notice Madame Prae closing her eyes and praying. When she's done she notices you already started. "You don't pray before meals?" "Well, no. Nobody I know does." "Robert does." Maybe when you're around. "You're right, he does. I've just never really been big into the whole 'religion' thing." "How do you mean?" she asks in a way that seems genuinely curious but in the corner of your mind you know is a trap. "Well, I mean, I've been to university. If the goddesses are real, they don't have anything to do with us, not really. They don't cause storms at sea, that's just hot and cold air interacting. Droughts and floods aren't their wrath, just extremes of normal seasonal weather. They're not the source of magick, that comes from the aether that surrounds us, as natural as fire. They won't punish you for ignoring them, and they won't reward you for being extra good. I'm skeptical there even is such a thing as 'good' and evil' - they're human concepts, they don't exist in nature." You see her narrowing her eyes but you continue. "When good things happen to bad people, or bad things happen to good people, we explain it as 'oh, just Their plan, They work in mysterious ways,' but it's only mysterious if you think they're real. If they're not real then it's just life being unfair, in the way it always has been unfair and always will be unfair." You see yourself from the outside looking in. You beg yourself to stop, but you can't. "Don't get me wrong, if going down to the river once a week to pray makes you feel better, then feel free, do what makes you happy. But it only makes you feel better because you believe it will. Some of us are good people regardless of what some willowy women in the sea think." She washes down a bite of her sandwich with a sip of her water. When she's finished, she says: "I'm a vicar." "Oh. A vicar." "Yes. A vicar." "Robert didn't mention that." "Clearly." b-minus1, I'm not religious (town-aligned vanilla), revealed. It is now Day 2. With 7 alive it takes 4 to execute. Day 2 deadline: Thursday, February 6th, ~11PM EST. That's in about 24 hours from this post! I can extend it if y'all are struggling but that'll make it a friday deadline which is even worse so, idk, just post. If you submitted a night action but did not receive a PM, assume your action was successfully performed and didn't require a response.

IS scum because his participation looks like someone who wants to be reactive to the thread rather than original in scum hunting. He wants to see how chips are falling and put his bets where it gives him the least culpability in the event of lynch. If you read him over, there isn't any original targeting (besides the initial chores vote) or any content on people that you'd read at and look to IS in the event that player flips town. For example, he wants to make sure we don't take his chores vote too seriously - and it's based on general mafia theory instead of actual scum hunting. He sat on this vote for most of the day: IllegallySober posted:I’d call [my vote on chores] semi-serious. In a game this small anyone proposing no-dunk (joking or not) is going to raise an eyebrow from me. We don’t have time to no-dunk. IllegallySober posted:That said, there’s barely a page of posts since the game started, if that, so I don’t think there’s enough material yet for super serious cases. His analysis for who to vote after chores is basically based on who has contributed to the thread or not: IllegallySober posted:I still like the chores vote but would happily switch to Fisk as well given that neither has provided much of anything for town to go off of. IllegallySober posted:Okay, I think I feel best about this at the moment. This isn't a vote that gives IS any culpability when Fisk flips town, but it looks like he's being helpful. ##vote IS
