Yes, because I've been looking for scum and ignoring the push for xopods. Because Xopods very likely isn't scum and this push is a bad push.

this is a good way of putting my feelings - I do think scum, with a vote margin this close, would be more... pissed? about the situation

But man oh man does that post make me happy you made it.

Because you literally cased me for NOT voting for KK when I said I found them scummy day 1 and then later moved to them. Now you're calling me out for moving my vote around to people that I find scummy.


It doesn't matter what I do I'm scum to TT.

Yes, duh! Jeeze this isn't complicated - I suspect you knew KK was town and thus only hesitantly pushed him, and now I suspect you know xopods is scum with you so you're looking for any other option. Your change in behavior, and my read of it, is entirely based on context just like every other human interaction.

Do we have anyone who will swap to xopods?

Unless every single case other than xopods has been on scum why would scum do this? xopods isn't sum high quality target for scum, if he is town he is a very convenient distraction for the town

I don't think they're all scum. I think it's once I twigged to what Hal was doing early in the day he realized the plan didn't have enough upside anymore and could end up backfiring if I wasn't going to tunnel my first read each day and if I was suspicious of Hal's attempts to defend me from my detractors while keeping himself at arm's length from my actual cases.

I've started games like this before, but escaped the first big push to lunch me, started getting my reads right and got Town back on my side. I think they decided that if I was going to start playing better than I did early on, it was safer to pull the trigger while I was still sufficiently unpopular to be an easy lunch rather than give me the chance to redeem myself.

It is day 2, the majority of players in the game are town, the argument that scum are so focused on xopods that they are steamrolling the majority of the players in the game just to get out xopods, a guy who claimed a fairly boring role, just isn't convincing to me.

Scum have a night kill, they probably don't have to steamroll the town to launch you if they think you are such a big threat. This seems like delusions of grandeur to me

If I hear the music...
The students and faculty at Hogwarts found themselves muddled in minucha for most of the day. There were many arguments for why the trio of Merk, Officer Ligor and Pander went missing. It brought lots of confusion with only coy responses. But there was also something else that dominated the discussion: that there were still Deatheaters around and two people has died in the night from the killing curse.

They began focusing from the previous day. How was Khris Kruel voted out so easily? What was going on with that vote? Why did we end with hours to spare while we are having a much harder time coming to a consensus here?

There were many names cast with suspicion, after all there were likely multiple Deatheaters around. But one name was consistently on the table: Xopods. Xopods was one of the first people to be suspicious of Khris Kruel from the day before, and the students and faculty were not happy about it. Something seemed wrong about how Xopods seemed to distance themselves from the vote after it got a mind of its own.

As the day transformed into dusk residents of Hogwarts had yet to finalize their decision. Xopods, while a popular choice just didn’t have the necessary fervor yet. But a crowd was still forming. Then a voice spoke up from the back.

“What about Kingcobweb?”

“Hmmm”

“Maybe”

“Interesting”

….

….

“Nevermind”

Xopods was thrown from the window in the Great Hall. Like Khris Kruel the day before, Xopods didn’t hit the ground right away. The dementors got to it first, and efficiently sucked the soul out as Xopods made out a low painful groan. In the end Xopods’ hollow corpse lifelessly fell to the ground.


Xopods, Parvati Patil, TOWN STUDENT, (Hogwarts aligned), has their soul removed day 2

If I hear the music...
[i]It had rained during the night, but had stopped just in time for the day to break. The dew on the grass reflected the light from the sun, giving the outdoors almost a blinding brightness. The light lit up the Great Hall in a way that some would think that only magic could do.

When the students and faculty returned to the Great Hall there were some obvious differences for the attendance from yesterday. First of all Merk, Officer LIGOR, and Pander had returned. There were murmurs from the others behind their backs with curiosity to where they had been, to indignation to their absence from yesterday, to relief at their survival.

But others were missing. The students and faculty made the rounds to everyone’s room. First they found Deadbeat Dad’s body(?). He, like the others from yesterday, had been killed by the killing curse. A sad but not unexpected development. The students next found Hal’s body. This was unusual though. Hal was not killed by the killing curse. But there was blood everywhere, and a small hole in Hal’s chest. No one could identify what could possibly make this hole. It didn’t seem like any kind of magic that they had seen before. Very mysterious.

Finally there were three others that were missing. Epsilon Plus, Jose, and Pussy Quipped. No bodies were found. They were missing.

The group returned to the Great Hall to formally begin the day.

DeadBeatDad, Cuthbert Binns, TOWN TEACHER, was killed with the killing curse Night 2

Hal Incandenza, Filius Flitwick, TOWN TEACHER, was shot Night 2


Epsilon Plus, Jose Valasquez, and Pussy Quipped have gone missing

There are 18 alive, it takes 10 to execute!
