it's pretty discouraging to actually collab my thoughts on demand and just get slammed for it, so I'm gonna hop out

since flips aren't flipping sometimes, don't hammer me without letting me fullclaim at least

Amni the reason I suddenly silently backed off you and Hum yesterday was because though I had my initial doubts it hit me the possibility was that you two decided to swap claims in order to trick hum into getting to pgo a scum. What you've claimed since is close enough in line with that, but point being once I realized that I figured the most town thing I could do is completely shut up about the matter

Because the action was such that there is no way it could help a scum team. And withholding the action, or using it on a scum buddy, would be the right play for scum.

pera and Ruggan are the two I feel best about voting for today.

pera's got a number of pro-Town posts and visible actions thus far that can be described as... well, none at all. Day 1 she voted Leith because he was vote leader and then switched to Hunt later explicitly because it was a newer bandwagon to jump on. Day 2 and 3 were more cop-results driven, so harder to say much there but contributions were still minimal and her vote for dmboogie had this air of reluctance to it.

Ruggan's more based on reactions, than actions. Primarily because in terms of actions, he hasn't really gotten any to speak of. Notably he's never cast a vote at all during day 1, and his initial Mona vote at the start of day 2 was immediately contradicted by in the literal next post all of two minutes later calling the case on Mona weak. He's the only person who agreed with Steak's nonsense plan of "not lynching the confirmed scum" and recanted on that when he was pushed back on it by... dmboogie. Still defended not wanting to lynch in spite of that and had a garbage non-case on CPig that boiled down to "he is mean sometimes." D3 he was hyper-defensive when called out by Hum, spent most of the rest of the day throwing shade at Amni and Hum in a "yes but what if it's a scum gambit???" way without any actual argument. When asked for any reason why he thinks they're scummy, at least twice, he straight up avoided answering entirely. And today all he's done of note is start the day by... throwing more shade at Amni.

Before I started writing this, I felt worse about pera mostly because of her D1 votes. But for everything after that, while she's not looked good by any means, Ruggan has looked worse. Amni vouching for her also tempers it a tiny bit, not a lot mind. He's taking a pretty big risk, since that could make him look a lot worse later and even if she's not scum, he fully admits she could be 3p and that's still not great for us either. Would easily switch to her later in the day if it comes to that, but for now I'd rank her as my second choice.

tl;dr ##vote Ruggan

Intelligent and bright, they explored a world that was new and strange to them. They liked it, they thought - a whole world just for them! They were dimly aware that a God had created them, was watching them; they called out to him, thanking him in a chittering language, before running off.

Well, getting town to later confirm you when you haven't been playing much is still helpful to scum. Maybe you are underselling the harmfulness to scum/helpfulness to town? Because getting town to believe in you is a pretty solid play use for most scum things.

With the towns increased interest in Ruggan, I would like him to confirm his n2 action for me, as much as he is comfortable doing so. I've been hinting around at it but I would like to just settle things now, especially with the body count last night. If I'm correct his n2 action won't give anything away that shouldn't be out there.

In a role madness game, I will not ever write someone as town based on some action, especially when we have like 5% of the information associated with that action. Follow the content. It says pera is scum.

Sorry, perpetual streams of it, i am the dirty rotten knave, the plague of the community, i am become a proper lurker.

Life is just busy. Corona has my city approaching complete lock down. Schools and daycares closed through end of school year with expectation poo poo gets better by August.

Working from home. Trying to maintain the house. Trying to support family who is still grieving from a death. Spread like old, watery jam.

I claimed miller.
Investigations show up as anti-town self-aligned instead of scum.
I have no night action and am pretty much vanilla.
I crumbled the actual mechanical bit of my role pretty heavily d1 during shenanigans.
Trying to catch up but it is difficult. Post volume. Cases established across game days. Etc.

No disrepect meant to players, or Jen, our mostly beneficent mod. Will try to get some proper reads for this game day in about an hour and a half

Sure.

My role is effectively a compulsive bodyguard. I also have a special ability that allows me to become invulnerable for that night and the following day.

On Night 2 I used my invulnerability ability and guarded Ixtlilton. Thought was that they would be a likely target given their ability and having been gifted the item the prior day. I like to think I actually blocked a kill as there was only a single vanishing that night, less than the NK and vanish on N1 and the crazy poo poo that happened last night.

I wasn't really worried about dying D2 via execution because my ability would have kept me alive. I breadcrumbed that and Mithross picked up on it.

Not sure what of that Mithross can confirm, but I don't think there's much of a reason for me to use my ability and protect a cop claim without being town. That's my personal defense.

Why Amni? The Cpig thing is almost certainly his posting style as not much else has happened involving him.

Feel like Pera is the strongest case out of your proposed "would votes" and I read this like you just tagged that part on at the end to show agreement with others saying the same.
