If you don't split up, the plot never progresses, I mean, a couple of people might die, but you get a much better movie.

Right, if it's a trap, that means it's the plot and you have to follow the plot

It's the only thing close to a serious vote so far, though. We're going to need to start making more calls like that just to try and get somewhere.

If people can at least try and give some vague explanation for what gave them the gut feel though, that might help? I assume this vote is serious, ilmucche, since it's not making any kind of joke in any context at all?

For my own look back over jokephase this is what I got so far:

Mr. Humalong posted:

This was the first jokephase post I thought felt noticably awkward. Not sure if that's what Toal was picking up on too.

Deadbeat Dad posted:

##vote CirclMastr

His initial post/"joke" feels a little forced and he continued the joke phase into this page without any initiative to provide content.

This is applicable to like 10 other people and isn't anything more than gut, but when there's not much to go on, this is what you get.

And after this,I think Circl is the most promising. Circl came in to do some action on DVD in response, but he's happy to leave his actual vote where it is... on Moat? Mind telling us why, when that was originally a clear jokephase post?

Circl is still the only actual decent read I got for anything that looks scummy, but I'm not opposed to holding off to see what the mark does first.

I must get back to work now but let's see if this does anything

##vote Kash

Even though it was kinda early for people to start lurker callouts, for some reason his name hasn't been put forward at all as one of them. Even though he's done surprisingly little so far, he's usually a real high-volume poster

I keep thinking about Kash but the last game Kash played they played very similarly as town. Not invested/very defensive.

Bah, has he got a new meta too

Kashuno posted:

I am reviewing stuff rn and realize I tend to always think Sandwolf is town and Toalpaz is scum, so I'm gonna say I give Toal a pass this game day. Yami is digging in in a way that reads townie to me, but it's the kind of thing that catches my attention the longer a game goes on with more inaccurate reads.

I'm gonna ##unvote for now and try to reevaluate my reads a bit. I am tempted to throw my vote on Circl for a mechanics reason rather than a gameplay reason but ehh

Now this is interesting, seeing as I unvoted Circl for the mechanics reasons

Grandicap posted:

I'm wondering if Circl knew about the doppelganger stuff, it didn't seem like it based on the way the responded to your flavor question. Why would somber tell one of you and not the other about each other?
I think the way Yami played this is more towny. The flavor questioning, the waiting.
If I were scum and had a mark ability that is at least theoretically pro town, I would want to put it out there early.

I like this a lot

So maybe we could lunch Circl today after all? I do wanna keep the heat on boogie rn but I am totally down to revote Circl instead. The only reason I did move off was cause I wanted to wait and see what the mark did but I agree that Yami seems a more likely townie with it

Yami Fenrir posted:

That's why I waited on it. I was thinking that it'd be a mod gotcha where both of them ended up being townies, but they didn't play into it at all.

Anyway, for me it might just be role flavor - I arrived at the castle following a doppleganger of myself, apparently.

However, the way they said "I don't know what it does, only that it helps town if I mark suspicious people" (which narrows what it does down quite a lot) does make me believe circl is town.

Hm, I'd be cautious of relying too much on flavour deductions like this. Somber did warn against it.

If it really is a hated stack though, that power is super bad in scum hands late-game.

Goddamn this is a sad vote spread with five hours to go

Kash I'm even more curious now why you said the "mechanics thing" made you more likely to vote Circl than less.

Boogie said there are probably multiple roles that do things to marked people, and you said that checks out, but surely your role is in your good townie hands, so it would not be a bad thing for you to be able to do that thing to people?

Kash, your recent analysing of actual intent behind when and who to mark is nice, but I still want to know what you meant here:

Kashuno posted:

You said you were tempted to vote Circl for a purely mechanics reason, and I don't see how that matches up with the idea that "special roles (like you just implied you had) can do stuff only on marked people". That made you want to vote out someone who makes you able to do stuff?

Bifauxnen
Aug 12, 2010

Kashuno posted:

I wanted to vote Circl because I currently believe marking may not be a net benefit for town. Yami also being able to mark has me feeling pretty sure it's not just a town thing so I feel reasonable in believing that there are scum markers.

You currently believe it, but also believed it back then, I presume? When you first made that comment? Before the 2nd mark showed up?

Bifauxnen
Aug 12, 2010

Ok this Kash thing is really bothering me cause it does not seem to add up to a mindset that actually makes sense.

As another mark came up, and other peeps implies that they had some action that interacted with the marks, Kash implied that this was true for him as well:

dmboogie posted:

marking specifically interacts with my role and my role has nothing to do with either circl or yami

i imagine there are multiple roles that can do things to marked people

Kashuno posted:

Checks out

He agrees that there are roles "that can do things to marked people", so presumably Kash has one of these roles. But if a town Kash has a role that says "hey, that thing you can do as a town? You can use it on someone who's been marked." And then he sees someone get marked, why did he think "hm, I have mechanics reasons to vote for Circl now" instead of "yay! Circl can help me do the thing!"

Also he seems to be fudging his explanation of his mindset, conflating the past and the present

This is what I didn't like about RF, which was I think he's playing a safe game and not trying to get noticed, which the same can be applicable to you.

Hm. I was tuning out the RF case cause I just always think of him as lurky and scummy no matter what so it was all white noise to me. But putting it this way makes me feel more suspicious of Hum and RF after all since this game really seems to be ruled by a heavy attitude of 'meh'

I would switch to either Hum or RF, Kash wanting to switch to Hum makes me a little paranoid though
