Holy poo poo I still have this account and I am stuck in my apartment and I really want to play Mafia none of my friends want to place Don't Push The Button on Jackbox and my girlfriend doesn't play board games.

In short, yes, I, Spoonsy, shall take my rightful place in this game and play Mafia.

Also lemme text Kloaked to see if he wants in

I still maintain (and have been lynched for this idea) that the D1 lynch, unless someone does something idiotic or there is a clear attempt at a railroad by scum that doesn’t know what it’s doing, is a crapshoot.

And yes I am always sad that the shitpost phase ends, especially when there wasn’t nearly enough Potter puns or wordplay.

Hi everyone. I forgot how quick large games move.

I am glad to see that people have moved on from Andy. I'd be interested to look into how that sprung into being should things go south in later days, but I don't feel it's worth looking into too much right now (mind you this could be completely wrong).

The KK Case - I too do not like the anmi bus, and as others have said, the immediate latching onto Jen is suspicious, as is the "interrogation lamp" bit, as that really feels like he's trying to actively deflect people from looking into him by passing it to someone else.

I am going to ##vote KK for the time being.

This is directed mainly to xopods but I would like other people to weigh in if they want.

I am tempted to full claim become the focus of a lot of night actions and might even become the focus of day actions. If it is a group of teacher-hunters then I have already made sure I am on the top of their list. If it is a specific hunter for each of us, then I can become the focus of the night actions of everyone and hopefully catch a scum and work from there.

I probably won't live long but it would be an exciting time and would be very in character.

Thoughts?

Given that both the students and teacher have flipped as Hogwarts Aligned, I'd caution against that for the time being as it looks like there's at minimum 3 groups capable of doing something in the evening that is anti-town, unless disappearing someone winds up having some other effect.

Either way, we had 2 NKs and if you have a role that is literally an authority figure, don't give the scum an educated guess as to where to go in the evening.

I'm going to guess that the disappearances are connected and probably temporary, not unflipped deaths... five kills, three of them janitored would be too much N1 even in a big game.

Mikujin posted:

So those post struck me as kinda poo poo in general: excuses themselves from even novel consideration of anything going, and slides a vote over onto another case without any real consideration. The case on KK hasn't picked up tons of steam at this point yet, but there's a few votes this is just kinda sneaking in with. This is consistent with their earlier D1 is a crapshoot posting (which I had to look back for, as they've said very little at this point). Looking ahead, they don't ever really get around to engaging with anyone in a meaningful way at any point in D1. Independent of alignment, coasting.

@Spoonsy - given KK's flip, who do you think is most likely to be scum trying to railroad them?

He/Him/His! (never had to do that in a game before and it's fun)

Looking back at other people's votes, I'm actually interested in what Sandwolf has to say about their vote. They (and apologies, I have forgotten how to do quick reply and include quoted posts, so I'm just going to link to each specific post) started off voting Andy, then cast doubt on (now town confirmed) Jen.

He then wanted to stay with Andy, finally voting for KK as a placeholder vote and then proceeded to post zero effort for 9 posts afterwards (which yes, I know, pot calling kettle black)

I thought Andy was scummy yesterday, I still think Andy is scummy. KK’s early votes pinged me, I felt very comfortable voting them even more so when they started being so cagey about claiming. Towards the end of the day I did start to get chills that KK was pissed off townie, I was sorta looking for him to claim something more towny to maybe save himself, but he seemed more content to be angry.

What about you Spoonsy, you were p much absent all day 1. who do you think is scum?

This is probably going to make people think I'm an idiot, but I don't know yet! We've had one day, a town lynch, two dead townies, 3 missing people, and the only thing I think we can say with some certainty is that there's professor town and student town.

I do not feel like I personally have enough information YET (emphasis mine) to declare that someone is or is not town - that's the sort of stuff that normally comes into play with conversations like this on Day 2, which is why I'm trying to respond to as much as I can

No I'm saying that on D1, we don't get much but as the game evolves, then we can get reads. Which, I would argue, is precisely what we're doing right now.

The missing players made their own individual choices to go missing today. I don’t know that 100% but pretty close to it.

Less dick, more whiny/undercafinated/over-stressed stuff. If that exercise bike I ordered arrives today and I have a means of doing cardio again, a reread will probably make your posts come off fine.

That being said, to answer the "other than omgus" question Miku posed, the continued harping on me trying to piece together mechanics so that we have a better means of understanding what's going on sticks out. There's nothing wrong with the town trying to piece together the larger picture based on the information provided by lynches and NKs (and vaguely defined disappearances that are then even more vaguely discussed by people with more info than they're letting on). The town benefits from learning more. Scum benefits from keeping people in the dark.
