Well, AN's vote is pretty bad obviously, what with the "I am jokevoting, but also maybe not" vibe.

AnonymousNarcotics posted:

I really wanna be like lol this is joke phase whatever but this vote is really pinging me

Although that merk vote is pretty bad too. The rest doesn't seem bad, Bif's probably joking and the others raise a decent point.

What with everybody trying to get the first vote in on some rando, I'm not looking to much at where votes are going for now. Didn't expect someone to reach half the required votes for lunch that fast, but I don't think it's necessarily a sign of scum interfering.

As for other reads, the posts that stand out for me right now are:

Pretty sure Maerlyn is in the "merk doesn't play often, so let's not lunch him D1" camp. At the very least, she was saying that in Cookfia.

Similar to AN, we have another specimen of "I'm only joking BUT".

Not really a fan of that post, prodding someone right after they wander into the thread.

I like Psycho's vibe and it screams town to me, those voting him I'm side eyeing. Maybe because it reminds me of how I read people, but he's making calls/putting out feelers and seeing people balk at that is curious.

I misunderstood the "first" part of the rules and that was the first vote of the game/day, I thought it would give me an item.

Okay, but why merk? I realize "Cloacamazing!" takes significantly longer to type and Yata has newbie-turbo-immunity, but still.

Oh neat I have no idea how survivors are meant to play around here, my assumption would be that we kill them immediately as they're liable to side with scum to end the game early.

But I'm willing to be told I'm wrong on that so would be interested in how survivors are usually dealt with.

I think it's kind of a mix between "They can win with town, it's fine" and "LUNCH ALL 3P!"

Going for serious posting here a bit, I don't like either of Maerlyn's and Psycho Soldier's initial merk votes for reasons already stated. I'm not too keen on GW's posting today either, and also if she really did roll scum again, we need to put her out of her misery.

Especially not a fan of this:

Green Wing posted:

I still think psycho gets a stronger ping - I think the reasons there are pretty self-evident? I'd go back to there towards deadline if things swung that way, for sure. And while I'm reluctant to vote the newbie, I think I'm getting a hint of Newbie Scum here so I'm going to harden my heart and ##vote Yata

After GW said earlier she was not going to turbo Yata:

Green Wing posted:

I don't think Yata has played a game before according to vote history so no turboing them today either.

Definitely not feeling good about this exchange here:

PsychoSoldier posted:

Just a reminder that Illusionis is still a great starting wagon. They'd actually make for an excellent counter-wagon to me since that's how this all started. Let's have some real pressure and competition to heat things up. And then we can truly figure out if they're on the up and up when they return.

In a "Why are you claiming this D1?" way. It is clearly meant to imply Survivor, but it seems like at best a bad move that could get you killed, at worst a sneaky scum play.

I will admit I have not been giving this game the attention it deserves, I am going to try to weigh in over lunch and later today.

I think if merk were scum he'd be a lot more present/pushy so null read on him for now.
Bif sounds like her usual self.

I'm going to ##vote Cloaca because she can think I'm being scummy, that's fine but I object to her using the same argument as validation for her vote even after I've explained that I had been incorrect in my thinking, I made an error... It's basically a joke vote. I don't see a shifting in her read if she's just sticking to the same argument as an excuse to vote me.

I'll have more thoughts later, probably after work.

I'm not even voting you, Maer.

Well, okay, I am now ##vote Maerlyn, but that's because I've seen scum Maer make stuff up like that before, and she still pretends like my issue with her vote is the timing and not the target. Again: my point is that Maerlyn usually advocates against lunching merk D1.

Also, we are handing lurker controls over to the audience. They will be allowed to identify any potential lurkers and propose suitable punishments. We, the best mods ever, will then decide whether those punishments are enforced.

I'd say it's more likely to be harmful than good for town, since there's some stuff that you might not want scum to know about.

Okay then...

People voting Toal:

Psycho Soldier: first vote, probably jokevote, not much to see here
binus: No justification given (well, technically he later claimed to have picked a player at random, anyway, he's mod-confirmed town)
death cob for cutie: Gave this post from Toal as justification:

Toalpaz posted:

fake indignation

Content lurking

voted me

also scum

"there's a logical reason for vote leaders d1 in a game that incentivizes people to vote spread out"

scum

wtf is this post

Yata: voted right after, citing similar reasons as death cob while also proving they understand what this game is about

Yata posted:

Same reasons as you above, desinterested posts asking harmless questions at the start of the game and then quoting five different people reads like scum trying to misdirect. But maybe accussing everyone of being scum and awaiting reactions is the true meta for this game.

salad: Same reasoning
TM: wanted to give binus a cool item

Half an hour before deadline, merk and Toal were both at 4, so Bif, AN, RWC and GW voted in quick succession.

I think if there's scum in the Toal vote, the obvious place would be in the final four. They were all on the merk wagon before, and, barring RWC, on the earlier Psycho Soldier wagon as well.

Thing is, with the items rules being what they are, it obviously makes sense for there to be a rush towards the end, because nobody wants to cast a middle vote and vote themselves out of a cool item, so a bunch of votes piling up in quick succession is not really unexpected. Death, Yata and salad all using the same post from Toal seems a bit more fishy to me.

binus was presumably killed because he got an overpowered item, and frankly, binus with a vig is a scary thought that gives me traumatic flashbacks, so I kind of get where they're coming from. He didn't get to post many reads, but read salad as town and wanted people to stop voting TM.

More town than not currently. There was that early train on you, that seemed to fade out naturally and not like other players trying to move their attention away from you. Read you a bit scummier later, when it looked like you were more interested in posting anything at all and trying out several reads in quick succession, but overall that looks more like you poking any player to see what happens.

I am incredibly disappointed in this audience. You had the chance to make people speak in Shakespeare quotes, or post only in alliterations, or communicate entirely in emojis.

The audience rumbles, and I feel the need to intervene. Many lurker punishment ideas were discussed for more than one player. I was the one who ruined the audience's parade with a had a hard and fast rule that a lurker punishment could NOT make it harder to post. The audience fought me on this. They called me names. They spoke ill of my character. See for yourself.

Thankfully I do not fear the audience or their capricious nature. But all of you should!

An Audience Punishment for Insolence has been enacted for Cloacamazing!: For the rest of Day 2, you must include at least one fact about seals in your posts. The audience wanted this to be in every post, but we will say at least every other post must contain at least one fact about seals. Failure to do so will result in a much more serious punishment that the audience will determine. Enjoy!

Now that is what I call an appropriate punishment!

Did you know that part of seal care is bopping them on the nose, so they scrunch their faces up? That way, you can see if their throats are alright!

Bonus seal fact: The audience has no idea what they have unleashed. I don't even need the trivia generator (but thanks for that link, I will spend several hours clicking through that), I have enough seal trivia to last me for a whole thread. And nobody ever said I couldn't make up my own.

Tbh I do think it's kinda weird to make a claim that you like to vote when you yourself took away your ability to vote by including OP items. What item were you aiming for?

You're telling me your first action each day hasn't been to type "include overpowered items" in your confessional? Can you even say you're playing the game right if you don't do that? (Disclaimer: Would not recommend this action close to LYLO)

This is literally where I'm posting from now but thankfully I put a helpful note on my character sheet

I'm still trying to get a read on GW in general, but just wanted to say this is in fact a very townie looking character sheet. The low hardness means it should be difficult for her to start a scum slapfight, while the high weirdness makes her posts hard to read. Would recommend increasing sharpness for scumhunting though.

Seal fact: Seals and sea lions look a lot alike, but there are various differences. For example, seals have no earlobes, only holes in their head (don't worry, this is not painful, they like it that way). Sea lions have earlobes.
