Hi I'm back in the dorms from swing club. Ernie's claim is weird but this is an ecco game so anything is possible I guess. Idk why he claimed this early tho? Did you flip a coin whether to claim or not Ernie

What, exactly, do you consider "faking" content to be, Somber? Because I don't really think there is such a thing as "fake content"

This weekend I've been stupid busy helping to prepare a fundraiser at my work + moving more stuff into the dorms, so I haven't really had time to keep up with this thread. I'm going to try to read it tomorrow after classes and I'll post some impressions as I read

Chic Trombone

Ok I am done w/ classes for the day and now I actually have a few hours to read the thread, I'll try to finish it all tonight but since there's now 30 pages idk if I'll be able to tbh, but either way I should be able to actually be around to contribute tomorrow

Anyone have suggestions for people I should primarily focus on during this read I'm doing (currently on pg 14), or should I just go ahead and focus on the vote leaders

Chic Trombone

A couple of impressions from where I am in reading this game (pg 16)

Diqnol and Ras feel townie, neutral on Byers, no real scumpicks yet

Nooot sure if I'm gonna be able to catch up completely by deadline, but I should at least be around to vote if we need me to avoid a no-lunch

So where is your head at in terms of voting?

Since I doubt I'm finishing my read before deadline I'm willing to vote pretty much anyone to prevent a no-lynch. If I do manage to finish somehow that may change tho

Personally I'm leaning town on wins right now but I think it's suspicious that all his preferred lynch candidates yesterday were lurkers

Chic Trombone
Jul 25, 2010

I always consider wanting to lynch lurkers on D1 supicious, because it gives town very little information from the flip. D2-on it's fine but on D1? nooot so much

Chic Trombone
Jul 25, 2010

True and Real posted:

I think lynching a lurker d1 is just as valuable as lynching a high posting person because to lynch anyone you need enough people to agree to it and you'd be able to evaluate why people did. It might actually be a better choice for scum hunting purposes because it's easy to fake an excuse to vote for someone who posts a lot.

I disagree because I feel like going into D2 the town needs information more than anything else, though I can see your point

True and Real posted:

The flavor was very ominous. Between what happened and my previous read of him, I think it's very possible he had a BP that absorbed my vig. If that is the case, he's probably scum.

Why does BP make you think scum :confused:

Chic Trombone
Jul 25, 2010

True and Real posted:

He was lurking and leaning scummy, would make sense that he wouldn't care about possible consequences with BP to burn. It also just feels like I'm right?

But the BP wouldn't protect him from a lynch? I dunno man if you think he's scum that's fine I think he was being scummy too but I don't see how the BP would make you think he's MORE scummy

Are you going to post anything that helps us find scum? Who do you think is scum right now and why?

Right now Somber and EP are my biggest two scumpicks, and I'm wary of Asiina too. Somber's "why me" post at 2 votes feels like a scum trying to gain townie sympathy to me, and EP has avoided the thread a lot D2 after being one of the main lynch targets yesterday and it feels like he's trying to stay quiet in order to dodge suspicion. Re: Asiina, Diqnol pretty much covered it when he said that she's been posting in other threads a lot but not posting in here much which is weird

I'll write something more substantial up about them in a while, but right now I have a botany lab to get to.

That's after one person already vote switched for said post, taking you from -2. It's like you quoted it hoping more people would switch off you.

I don't care if they switch off me or if someone else comes in to vote Somb but getting scum lynched is literally the point of the game, and I think Somb is scum, so why wouldn't I point out something scummy he did to get people to vote him?

Chic, your response is a bit weak.

What else is there to say? I'm not scum and don't really have a firm read on merk, so all I can say is that it isn't a bus. Like, I lean scum on him but that might be because I'm a bit salty at him that he's done this hard turbo thing on me two games in a row, I haven't really had the chance to sit down and read him for real.
