Active town here pushes the game towards the case that active town believes is the strongest one to exist. I have seen Shell do this as town in other games.

Here, however, Shell doesn't want to move the needle. In a kind of lurky game, why would active scum do anything other than let town walk into elimination of town, which it what this Akay elimination feels like to me.

This is a piss poor cooking showing for me in a Cookfia, but it's all I got here on this day 1. I bought ingredients to do the filo thing (if alive, I will do it tomorrow) but ended up not having time to do it tonight.

Here is my season creation. It is simple, but it is what we all should be doing in the winter months when you do not want to get out of the house. Hot coffee done right.

Strange Brew is a local coffee house here in Greenwood, IN. Their "Holiday Grogg" was available in late December and has been my go to home brew. I encourage you to visit their website and order some beans!

Steps:
1. Heat your water. I use a basic $11 electric skillet that I got on Amazon. It has worked for 3+ years without issue. Don't be dumb and be that person who thinks you need to boil distilled water or something. Those people suck.
2. Measure your beans. I like between 17-18g for my strength.
3. Grind your beans. This is a big deal. I am not a coffee snob, but there is definitely a taste difference between freshly ground beans and ground beans in a bag. This Capresso grinder thing was relatively cheap and has worked, again, for 3+ years without issue.
4. Throw the ground coffee into your Aeropress over your coffee cup.
5. Bloom the ground coffee with scalding hot water. What this means is that you put a small amount of scalding water over the ground coffee for 20 seconds or so. You will see biggish bubbles come off the grounds which is CO2 (I think? I don't know) bubbling off that gives kind of bitter taste if you don't get rid of it.
6. After blooming, slowly pour more scalding hot water over the coffee until it fills up. Let it sink in a bit after filling and then put more water in to get a bigger cup. The Aeropress is great, but it doesn't make enough coffee for me without doing this step.
7. Top the Aeropress to seep the poo poo for exactly one minute.
8. Push down on the Aeropress plunger into your cup slowly.
9. Drink and be merry.

I don't understand the Chic case.
I strongly believe the Akay case is eliminating town. That is a strong gut read.

Shell is the scum here watching us implode.

I will have to try them next time I'm down that direction, love some good local coffee

re: your case, I'm kinda ambivalent on it because I'm so far out of the loop on any kind of 'meta' right now since I literally haven't played in multiple years, but I can see your point about them seeming like they don't want to make waves. I'd personally prefer Tobbs or Arkay at this point

Apparently one recipe can't be two things so I came up with something for Super Bowl season, some buffalo chicken meatballs

I had to get some ground chicken but everything else was already in the kitchen.



Minced up the veggies and garlic and mixed them in with the chicken and the egg and some panko and hot sauce. Definitely a nasty consistency and I did not love having to make all the balls.





In retrospect I should have made them football shaped, but here they are with a celery toothpick, some bleu cheese and a "dipping sauce" of equal parts butter and hot sauce.



I also had some ground sausage so I did this same recipe with that and it turned out better than I had expected. Plenty left for the game tomorrow too. Not pictured are the guacamole, deviled egg pasta salad and some not very good salsa I also made for the game. Well really for the commercials.

I don't have a super town read on shell but Akay has scummy vibes and I agree that the appearance after being called out is fishy. Plus no cooking.

I would also be okay with meen, bif's thing feels like a bit of a stretch but alright for D1

Since Ill probably go down for Day 1 I may as well post reads on everyone so you all have them for tomorrow.
Player List

[*]Akay (She/Her)
- Town? yeah. Probably Town. wait, Definitely town. Also, is me.

[*]Bifauxnen (surprise me)
Leaning Town - Seems straightforward, doesn't seem to be trying to derail or head off conversations. Seems Genuine!

[*]Chic Trombone (He/Him)
Not Sure - Undecided. Seems to be fine pushing a lurker lynch but doesn't seem to be interested in much else. Neutral.

[*]CirclMastr
Not Sure - Leaning scummy - Looks to be coasting on the mafia part of the game, interested in the cooking part. Looks more active then actually is because of this.

[*]GenericGirlName
Not Sure - Leaning scummy - Same reasons as Circl - More interested in the Cooking then the Mafia for content. One "Content" post actually... isnt? just three quotes and meta-context about peoples plans.

[*]Hal Insandenza (he/him/hal)
Leaning Town - Nothing hes posted has struck me as scummy.

[*]hambeet (he/him)
Probably Town - Mostly meta read off of last game.

[*]Ignatius M. Meen
No Idea - Neeeeeeeutralish. Would love more posts, seems to post calling out other people to post more.

[*]Maerlyn (she/her)
Probably Town - Active, seems to be interested in finding scum. Kind of a lazy jump on me though

[*]merk (he/him)
Leaning Town - Mostly gut

[*]ObamaAkbar. (He/him)
Probably Town - Focusing more on reads then others - seems interested in posting reads.

[*]Opopanax (He/him/opop)
Leaning Scum - Content Missing! posts, no real gameplay effort.

[*]Shellception (She/her)
Leaning Town - Mostly gut, though that failed me miserably last game with her?

[*]Tobbs Gnawed
Neutral - Is reading about the same to me as last game but last game I only voted out of process of elimination and a slip-up.

[*]Voodoofly (He/Him/Whatever)
Leaning Town - Dont think hes scum, mostly. Playing relatively simple to what ive seen town Voodoo play.[/list=1]
