It is funny that you and Keats are saying very opposite things, but that I agree most with you, except in one thing. That being that going on vibes isn't a thing you do when certain, it's a thing you do when uncertain, and feeling it out. Town, especially this early, should be ready to abandon and pick up new ideas on the fly.

As opposed to tunneling this early based on vibes then massaging every encounter thereafter to fit that. That more feels like scum that has picked an easy mark and doesn't want to let go.

I took a dinner break and then spent a couple hours doing other stuff, but trying to digest how I felt about the more active players, and I couldn't really sell myself on a vote fully. So I started looking through players who have been active but not making waves. I mentioned egalz before and there's something about the way egalz has been not even tried to post anything relevant to the game that makes me think voting for egalz would be no better than just guessing randomly. That's not a permanent free pass, but just bleh.

After revisiting some others, I want to draw attention to this. This set of posts by spork is not exhaustive, but I feel it is overall representative of what his game content is like (particularly if you just check the overall context)









Spork's posting looks fine if you consider each post in isolation, but when I look at them in isolation I feel like spork is just kinda commenting but avoiding taking any actual stances. There's not a single alignment call in any of the posts I quoted (though the last one, a questioning post, I wouldn't expect to). It's the consistency of absence of things like that that leaves me with no actual sense of what spork is about, but it's like moment-to-moment he's there *just* enough to not draw the eye. In particular, when he explains stuff to spacebanito I don't get any sense of what he thinks of keats' alignment or what he thinks of SB. Admittedly he had me pinged a bit like this in pride mafia, and he was town in that game, but I also feel like it was just one off post in that. This is different where it's more like his actual posts aren't off except when considered as a body. ##spork
Also very much agree here! Oh noooo a contradiction how scary! Jk, I'm reading and posting in real time, so it's very real.

Lol I'm living in opposite land it seems. I think you backing off cases/pressure is very town behaviour and I was hella side-eyeing banito for that post as a result. And I disagree with you here, dropping a vote there would have been too much for scum, better to set up gently for a later "ok I'm convinced!" vote.

I think there's enough here for a ##vote Spacebanito

ok here's my lumpenlist. i'm gonna go play kingdom hearts and will be back closer to deadline

Would Not Vote: yuming, Sandwolf, Keats

No Strong Pings RN But That Could Change: binus, Cube, Hum, Spork, Stalin

Hmmmm: Spacebanito, molly, Maugrim, MQ

Would Vote Now With No Regrets: Nep-Nep, EGalz

Please Post More/No Real Read: Clo, mycelia, shark, Moritz, Toal

page 17

egalz have you posted a read? any read. any at all. 18 pages to choose from

i'm back to not liking MQ

waaaaaait spork. spork. how did you misread toal's posts this badly

not much to go on on the rest of this page, mostly relitigating things that have already happened

page 18 hell yes i'm almost done

lol @ nep-nep misreading toal in the same way as spork

ironically nep's big case on spork has just made me even more gung ho about flipping nep today - i still think she's scum but that big case is gonna give us some info regardless of how she flips

maugrim why are you beginning to case me and then going "ehhh nvm"

I'M DONE

I don't know if it's mis-reading exactly? But definitely typical uncharitable day one stuff. I don't really feel like I need to develop a cover story for changing my theory between posts and believing that I do is what pings me about spork, but that's typical day one mafia crap so I get it. :)

And sure, fine, I'm an investigator. It's why I really wanted to know what the Miller mechanics were, and it's also why it's an unprovable claim. Because scum always know alignments, so I can't prove anything by scumhunting with it :shrug:

I would like to see the claim!

See this (SB) is very much how I posted the first few times I got early-lunched as newbie town, so on that level I buy it, but unfortunately it does look exactly like scum flailing.

Not against a Cube swerve either. I'm gonna be here from now until deadline.

Toalpaz, what do you think about Molly leaning into your "I'm not actually a miller" bit so hard to confirm herself?

I mean, she kept her story together during a counter claim. (I haven't been reading super closely)

Seems legit! I don't think scum fake claim miller day 1 and the town play is to claim day one asap which Molly took. We learned there was a cop, which also confirms a miller.

It's almost weird to keep pushing miller!
