Didn't think of that, but if this is actually a day action to be resolved by a player and they're just watching everyone flail around without resolving a thing, it's going to actually be pretty funny.

Got a stupidly acute headache and can't really focus my eyes much right now, so brief. Hal stuck out to me on his response too - kinda noncommittal, like he picked some subjects that were discussed and glossed over them. I can do Hal. Probably will once the votecounter is back on, because I don't know where we stand and I don't want to hammer right when it looks like we get to discussing poo poo. I still am pinged by Tobbs because he reminds me of a certain past scummate, also a returning oldtimer. He has sounded kinda forced when asked for reads, down to listing people, which is not a scumtell in itself but it reminds me of something people will do when forced to have an opinion - put everyone in there and sort them out instead of going at the people that bother you. It doesn't mean Tobbs is scum and I know playing with unknowns suck so I understand, but it is a sticking thing. Also, he has mostly joked around the rest of the time. SNG's response sounded spontaneous to me, in contrast. Like someone who's missed everything and is commenting when back on. Does not sound forced. Still will second the ask for reads from them. Can't think. Will resume game later.

Hal Insandenza posted:Well I mean you skipped quoting the post where we were talking about the store thing and I said after I thought about it for a while I had come to the same conclusion as RF that avoiding going into the store seems more scum oriented than town oriented, especially as scum would have some people in the store and would probably want to keep someone out just in case whatever happened in there was not good. Gotta ask, not just Hal but anyone else, because it's not the first time I've seen this thrown around - how in Earth did you all see "A store appears, shop?" and think that's somehow a trap? Joking bomb posts aside, where exactly are you all seeing danger here? It's a store.

Hal Insandenza posted:I didn't think it was a trap really, I mean I went right in. Alright. That's a way of seeing it, "scum would want to protect one of their members at least". What from, I am not clear, if the shop really is having a perjudicial effect, then everyone's screwed anyway. But I guess I can see it. The conterpoint is, would you, as scum, as a planned group action, choose to leave out the guy who a) appeared the last one on scene and b) has nothing in the way of an alibi, being that they have posted next to nothing at that point, and is going to stick out like a sore thumb? If you fear it's a trap, wouldn't you try and make that more discreet?

We are spinning our wheels at this point, though. Dex remains absent. I still got a more town read on her than I did on many others yesterday, but not so much I feel compelled to put together a defense. SNG showed up for a bit and has not provided any reads. Neither have a bunch of others who were asked. At least another five or six people, so a third of the game, are (explicitly or not) not saying or doing anything that can be read. I think Hal's casing is rather flimsy (Dex used a false meta argument on him and Merk?), but tbh there is no way that any case today is going to be solid. At least he bothered to show up and defend himself a bit, so points for trying. Don't feel enthusiastic at all about him. I don't see Binus. Or rather I don't see Binus more than usual. Lazy lurker lunches are lazy, and flipping him is telling us exactly zilch. I am banking on any action we're having today happening at the dead of night. I don't think we're no-lunching. Vote stays put for now. If by some miracle we extend all the way to deadline (I think it'll be around 6 am here?) I will try to binge-read and revisit accordingly.

I kind of expected it to be more temporary though so as a temporary measure please note your current vote in your confessionary and ping me when you change it as long as it remains down. Scratch that, going from this post, deadline is going to happen at 4 am. So no revisiting anything. Will stick around a little bit longer but I am gone in an hour or so, so, here's hoping we nail scum, somehow.

sandnavyguy posted:I do. Because figuring out what was from shop and what was from others will help narrow down who visited who when we start figuring out roles on a later day. Dismissing it out of hand is a bad play imo. It’s role madness so catching people up in lies based on visitation is my line of thinking long term. I don’t think it’s be random either. First come first serve makes sense, no? Uh, I am as much a fan of night action bingo as anyone, but trying to unravel 17-players role-madness with items N1 action seems like a recipe for disaster. Fwiw, my action was successful - someone should have gotten a boon after N1. Up to them if they want to claim it or not, I won't ask.

I don't think it's first-come first-serve due to timing, fwiw. I am the only Euro player here and I think we have no Aussies. This went up late US, past midnight, and around 8 am local time. There is no way you can ensure equal chance of an item if you go on a first-come basis, and I don't think Yami would set up a thing that was openly discriminatory. Still, there is just no drat way we will know unless you want everyone who got something to say it. I don't think we should get a list of item-havers by any means. And again, this is not helping us get scum!

I am good with what I have, and if it's random, it's better to maximize chances of it spreading around I suppose. So I won't enter this time.

I'd like to go back to what I was going to post before merk extra voted (SNG suspicions) but with the added hate I need to think it over. Merk had a double vote, which seems enough of a reason to be eager as to where votes are, in a night where deadline is sneaking in and Votefinder is screwy. But I think that's something Merk himself should tell us, we're not figuring out that by ourselves either.

sandnavyguy posted:I’ve already went on record about this, but the b- vote was whole cloth made from nothing, and boggled my mind. I still don’t see a real argument for Hal, and I at least know why y’all keep voting for me, so I think scum kicked back and just let active and misguided town take charge. Hal did offer rather flimsy reads, then became active when Merk confronted him, but still played mostly on the defensive. That's my read from yesterday. I gave him a pass because playing while presumably sleep-deprived and tired is lovely as gently caress and I don't particularly want or like eliminating someone without a chance. But I don't really liked what I saw, am expecting him to be better today and offer us something else to read.

Alright.

Why'd you two feel the need to breadcrumb that of all the drat things? Supposing Bif is some monster hunter thing. What'd that tell us about her alignment? If she's scum and you are town, she doesn't need another reason to want you voted out. If she's not scum and you are, she is not figuring that out from your flavor, Binus flipped town monster. And if neither of you are scum, you are saying she's some kind of headhunter or something? Because it's waaaaay to early in the game to go 3p/wincon hunting, moreso if we are going to get town voted out anyway.

merk posted:Bif, look at Toal this game and tell me whether they are town or scum. I can tell you they've played next to zilch, if that helps. I don't like silent Toal (as in, not making ANY sort of game comments), it's not a good augury. What's giving me pause on them is that they're drawing attention to themselves. Their posting looks like not doing nothing, but doing so in a way it gets them looked at. This seems odd to me. If you (as scum) are going to coast, then you coast, if not, you usually try to at least look like you're trying. Calling attention to themselves in a way that says "look at me, I am NOT PLAYING" is what's not fitting to me.

The setup spec thing is actually making my head spin a little. Call it mafia PTSD. Last time I played, half my scumteam was fixated in speccing the game in-thread.

You have a really good brain as-is, no need to force yourself onto an act. I also understand being pretty effing lost with reading the less frequent players because hell knows I am too. That said, questions: - Do you actually suspect scum being hidden on the early push or the late push? You seem to think it was the latter (Merk hammer, Taste vote fuckery) but then suspect Tom because he was one of the first votes. What is it? - You did vote Binus. What was your reasoning there?
