Just one more thing!
Since it seems gumball was sitting -1 for awhile that might be a decent vote to see through today, if gumball is town scum wouldn't have looked bad coming in and ensuring some lunch happened

I forgot that my initial thread participation post didn't count and had only posted 9 times instead of 10, because I am a product of the Stocktonian educational system.

As the only person who voted for merk, I now feel I am being framed, and am deeply suspicious of ilmucche, but not yet convinced to rescind my lack of belief in the death penalty.

do u think gumball is town? if so, why?

would other info have come to us if Gumball Gumption had been killed? Would it have revealed if they were town or scum?

yes, in most games i’ve played the dearly departed have their roles revealed and i think that’s probably standard since flips are normally the only way for town players to get alignment info but someone with more recent experience might have a different answer about how games are run in that case sorry for making you read this run on sentence and i hope you have a great evening

I'm referring to the second post. I took it as looking for a push to get rid of someone

At this point, I'm not 100% convinced Gumball is Nick Diaz Army, I'm just suspicious of the aforementioned behavior.

I was "guest IK" of here for doing well on a MMA picks contest. I never once used any buttons, not even for a comedy 6er.

Hmm I get that we need info but it's hard to see how accidentally killing one of our own good residents of the 209, and having found out that we killed one of the 209, would have made up for it. Do the scum already know who is who at this point? Is the idea that we would have known that most of the people voting for that person would be scum?

Mechanically it would make sense for the scum, also known as dorks in the park, to know who they are.

yeah that’s fair, i was pushing to get rid of somebody and would likely even move my vote just to avoid not lynching because more info is generally better imo. for example, if gumball had flipped and was scum that puts certain d1 interactions in a new light but since nothing came of the voting then we’re kind of in the same position as d1 except merk is gone

Science of Suck eventually started leaning on CommonShore after this but these early posts are not sitting well with me now that I have had time to go over posts from Day 1. You've played before but didn't know what people were referring to when they say "hedge vote?" :hmmno:

This is why the d1 lunch is actually pretty useful. I found it really weird that merk, as a seasoned maf player, didn't switch their vote to gumball despite being one of the last few posts before deadline just to get the lunch done

You mean can they chat between each other outside of the thread during the day portion? I would say no they shouldn't be allowed to do that.
