Okay, everyone!

Let's all report in in an orderly fashion here. Obviously we want to have an idea of what people can do in battle, but not give away too much detailed information. So I've prepared a little survey to help everyone give me some nice rough claims to get started with. Please answer these questions in a timely manner and then y'all can get on with jokephase while I stay out of your way and obsess over the results.

1. Do you want to be in battle tonight?
A - YESSSSSSS
B - Yes
C - No
D - NO!!!

2. Okay, that's your N1 choice, but is that like, your overall position, or just a tactical choice for right now?
A - Please continue to keep me (on/off) the battlefield at all times if possible (unless I'm just about to die and need to heal up, obviously)
B - I'd really prefer to stay (on/off) the battlefield overall, yeah - but this might change if say, I'm out of Shine, or maybe I could still do something cool in the other position every once in a while.
C - That's my choice right now but I don't really care, I'm awesome both on and off the battlefield
D - That's my choice right now but I don't really care, I suck both on and off the battlefield

3. Regardless of what you answered above, assuming you end up in battle eventually.... front row or back row?
A. Front
B. Back

4. Do you have a very clear preference between Physical and Occult abilities? DON'T give away which one yet, just wondering... do you actually have to care about what kind of buffs you get?
A. Yeah, I definitely favor one type over the other WHICH I WILL NOT SAY JUST YET BECAUSE I AM A SMART TOWNIE TOWN
B. Nah, its all good

5a. If you had a dayvig right now, who would you shoot and why
5b. besides me


1) C
2) C
3) A
4) A
5) lurkers

Good captaining!

Jeabus, I like some of your other good reads, but this coupled with the vote on me is borderline bad faith. Please tell me you did not seriously think that my making a joke about posting as scum in the other thread (or something equally obviously jokey) was a scumslip.

This is exactly why I keep going back and forth on whether to vote Infi. His weird gambit in this game makes no sense and if it were anyone else I would have voted him already. On the other hand, that’s also pretty much how he normally plays so :confuoot:

This is a very pro-town move if you’re town, thanks.

I get your frustration with Infi’s thing. It’s ridiculous and annoying but that’s also how he has played before, and while it’s suss, there is no huge downside to give him a day to test his result. But don’t loving self-vote if you’re actually town just because you’re frustrated with Infi.

Seriously, can you loving stop with this if you're actually town. It's the one thing that drives me crazy in this game, when a supposedly town player just throws in the towel after the game heats up on them a little bit. Be a team player.

I also would still very much like to vote Prince of Space.


Whining is not winning.

Is your vote for Prince still just based on you thinking he scum-slipped by assuming Xad is town, or anything else since then?

I was good with my vote on Infi even before this range thing (great catch); now I’m extra good with it. I can also say that the powers he’s claimed so far are pretty ridiculous compared to what I have and compared to the sample character that Pod posted before the game started.

I am going to say very early that even if we can freely vote out lurkers like Stone Cold and RF, it is against our best interests to do so unless we are absolutely sure they are scum.

I don't think we can even do that today but I just want this opinion out there. We win the game on numbers.

If they aren’t posting it’s going to be really really tough to be “absolutely sure they are scum” (unless Infi comes through with some cop results :allears:)

Just from these recent posters, I’m ok going to battle tonight with flerp, TM (after cooling off I’ve decided that his self-voting was annoying frustrated town), Venom (his anti Infi stuff early on was weird but I am coming around on it with subsequent Infi lies). Maybe busb. Not TNL. Not Hawke. No feelings on curiouscat or xad (I need to re-read you both).

Bifauxnen posted:

This is a good list of townreads, can you clarify your scumreads?

Sure. Hawke: mostly white-noise posts (he said, without a trace if irony); low-key defending Infi, which didn't look as bad at the time but looks worse now that Infi is very likely lying about some aspects of his role and has gone radio silent.

SLASHER HAWKE posted:

i thbnk inf is being too dumb to be scum rn

SLASHER HAWKE posted:

idk scum inf is normally smartrer than this

TNL: just a gut feel that in fairness I can't really back up with quotes/posts. Something about his protesting about staying out of the battle yesterday was giving me a really weird vibe. But he was also going after Infi early and often, and I am now pretty sure Infi is scum. I am still leaning toward scum for TNL but again this is just more of a hunch.


On more re-reading, I forgot about this 100% ridiculous and made-up case from Prince of Space on me, that was apparently just based on me posting "Vaya con dios" at the beginning of the game in jokephase. WTF is this?

tpink posted:

Vaya con dios.

Prince of Space posted:

S'cuse me, I was just tryin' ta vouch for ya and now ya turn on me with yer questions?

Xad/Jana's been kind ta me, fer one, and she's been perticularly adamant about makin' shure peoples' intentions are in the right place...

Nonetheless if'n really bothers you I don't got nothing against the sleepy Moritz, fer now. I'm all about TPink, ever since Infinintum reminded me they started out their first day with: [vaya con dios quote from he goes here]
