The best way to congratulate Anidav for his achievement in the last game is to turbo-lynch him D1 in this game.

Good morning, guys. I unfortunately had some real work to do for once! However, I have been thinking about who would actually be a decent choice for a D1 turbolynch.

We have a few unknown factors here from new posters, but it would be nice to see some actual input from them first, I think. So I'd be most in favor of lynching anyone who's just too quiet. Or on the other hand, possibly these two:

Anidav - I agree it would be a fitting full-circle tribute, to lynch him not for his annoying roleclaims confusing everyone, but to celebrate how dangerous and successful those claims have now become.

Mills - Purely for tradition's sake

If I had to choose, I'd vote for Beet, Kat or Milky. Beet because contrary to every other d1 he's not flinging poo poo everywhere like a monkey on crystal meth. He's content to turbo anidav which differs from the last few games. Kat or Milky for lazy dogpiles on the anidav train in the sweet spot of 4 or 5 votes in.

With that,

If I had to guess on the no-result from Milky's supposed night action, it would be that Tirade was voting Matthew Beet last night /\. Maybe someone thought Beet was scum and was going to target Tirade. That person protects Tirade creating the no result.

Bifauxnen- Seems to be trying to post helpfully, TOML is suspicious. Just posted a bit of a look how town I am post :/
dj-bbq- Unknown, new player. 4 posts so far, just chat.
Freudian Slip - Contributing to discussion.
Gwynplaine - New player, was harshly put down by Mills. Probably killed Mills for revenge. (jokes)
hiddenmovement - Hammered anidav at the last minute.
Kat Delacour - Unknown, other seem happy to have her playing again.
Matthew Beet - This guy kills me, can't get a read. Drove the vote on SkyCOQ so interested to see how that plays out.
Milky Moor - Tried to run a play on Tirade with no result. Despite poor form role claiming so early, I think he is town. Consistent play from last match so far.
MysticalMachineGun - got nothing on this player.
Old Dirty Cumburgs - Doesn't know what beetroot is. Was on the skycoq train yesterday.
SKY COQ - Definitely sus plays yesterday. Now role claiming saying he gathered information.
Small Keating - Mini effort post today, a bit out of character.
Splode - Shimmying things along, low content high volume.
Those On My Left - Good effort posting. Personally I think going after Mills as SkyCOQ is a bit obvious.
Tirade - Milky presumably thought he was scum and tried to kill him. I think someone else thought he would be targeted. I think that play would be a bit obvious as well.
whats for dinner - I thought he made a good post on voting anidav. He is now pushing for coq and maybe tirade if I am reading that right.

Bold ones are best suspects IMO mostly due to not knowing more about them.

My above post assumes that we didn't get two trackers or watchers.

The fact that two out of three townies had roles, and there has been two more claims on d2, makes me think this game has a high proportion of roles.

Aug 2, 2004

hiddenmovement posted:

Wait I'm reading the rules and I don't see how a player is able to reveal information, do they do it upon death or something?

There are a lot of roles and ones like watcher or cop show *certain* information which is often obscured in some way by other rules. Basically you are often really limited in the kind of info you get when you perform an investigation. For example tracker would watch a player and know if they performed a night action on someone else. But that may or may not form a complete picture, depending on what else happens that night.

If Coq is not scum, then it's valid, and revealing more will just show scum more about his role, so probably not worth doing.

SKY COQ posted:

tl;dr - since I've pretty much already roleclaimed, I'm a wasted lynch as I'll probably be nightkilled. Focus on other suspects, and I'll give you info when I get it.

Not necessarily.

Scum may not target you- because you've been top of the hit list for a while, the longer you are in the game the more they can keep that flame alive, plus if people believe your role claim it's possible you will attract protection which might scupper an attack.

Tirade posted:

Here's my take on yesterday.

Up until the end I was not convinced that either anidav or coq were scum, and I'm still not too suss on coq.

The buildup was way too fast on anidav, and then the votes switched way too easily to coq. It's hard to avoid throwing a scum under the bus on d1 if there's no other alternative (rip me last game). But Anidav's massive flameout, yet again, meant that it would have been easy enough holding a vote on him on the grounds of him being a poo poo townie. Instead we saw coq get brought from nowhere right up to one or two votes from being hammered in what, half an hour? Unless we had almost all town convinced that coq was the better vote, it means at least some scum flipped off anidav the townie to coq the scum, which is incredibly risky when lynching Anidav was easy enough to do.

My guess is that half an hour from hammer, scum couldn't have believed their luck. It was lynch anidav, lynch coq, or lynch no-one and have the same shitfight over again on d2.

The only thing that throws this theory into doubt is the quiet people piling on to anidav at the end, which is why I've asked them to get more vocal.

This is why I'm not voting for Coq. Seems to play straight into scum hands. Plus I can believe he was just being stupid. ;)

I'm out for dinner for the next couple hours, getting a vote in now in case I can't later.

I had a read through What's For Dinner and although there is nothing amazing standing out to me, it seems he's our best bet for a lynch today, and I think coq is being genuine about his role.

Maybe you should try stating what your own picks have been during the day instead, or explaining the WFD case better if that's really your favorite one. I suppose I'll leave my vote where it is.

I admit a bit of lazy voting due to wanting to get something in in case I couldn't do more tonight. Low posters (see my earlier post with list of thoughts on each player) was where it was for me. I felt bad for picking on newbies so I thought TOML's argument made sense- WFD is experienced enough to play better. Perhaps that isn't great logic but I am having real trouble picking any standouts in this game and so far all my gut is telling me is it's not coq.

I think two mafia teams makes sense and is a more simple answer to the two night kills question than those floated so far. Mills makes sense as a scum target, and Mith doesn't make sense for a vigilante. (I think FS said this)

Working through FS posts, seems very much in character from last game.

I also think this is really relevant
