I did not see that. Interesting. lolSo I'm going to say we have 1 left, which makes me feel a lot better about our odds. But also----not sure if you caught this part:

I think I've hit a milestone. This might be the first time anyone has had that reaction to my post count.VA has a lot more posts than I thought so I'm not doing that tonight. I got to page 5 of my my review and closed the tab. I'd rather go back and see what Nat has to say.
For the record, they would lose to French Toast.Maybe a good joke will put me right back into it.
Why do pancakes always win at baseball? Because they have the best batter!
I'm a little sad at all the conjecture (probably) not panning out because that would've been damn fun to catch scum out on. Alas, I don't think it was meant to be.
Launchpad being left alive makes me wonder if this is a simple case of godfather scum trying to bait out an investigate to clear their name, hence why Launchpad is alive. I can go into all kinds of WIFOM about this, and why Zipped went out when they did, but my theory would at least explain Launch still being here. Launch isn't only a threat for their cop check----they're a threat for being just about our only confirmed town core player at this point. Why leave that alive without specific reason? "Well, Launch would be an obvious Zipped protect." Launch would be an obvious protect N2 following the day he got Nat killed, and more than likely couldn't be protected a 2nd night in a row due to power restrictions. I would expect Launch to be wide open for a good murder N3 without Zipped to protect, so no, I don't think Zipped needs removed first before you take out Launch (if anyone were going to say that).I was thinking it when Kopite died, but with Zipped here, this certainly seems to form a profile that at least one of the remaining scum are new to scum and/or don't have many games under their belts. Killing Kopite on N2 when there was a claimed doctor and cop in play means they were probably afraid that Kopite would have more than one shot, but I assumed immediately that Kopite only had one just from general experience with games this size and X-shot roles.
Now it's Zipped who's dead and I also assumed he had two shots. Instead of letting us wallow in the WIFOM behind Zipped really being the doctor, whether my green check on Vere is legit, and whether I'm really the cop, they solve one of those puzzles for us.
I could tell you right away what I would've done - and what I think Nat/LP would've done, because they have the experience to make those role assumptions - is kill Zipped on N2 and me on N3.
I don't think that's a bad theory, honestly. Though, again, scum seems to think town PRs have more shots than make sense for this game. That would be more evidence towards this being a less experienced player.Launchpad being left alive makes me wonder if this is a simple case of godfather scum trying to bait out an investigate to clear their name, hence why Launchpad is alive.

On this particular day 1, I still think EC is the best vote town can go for right now.
Everyone always says that to me but I'm trying, I swear!
Is it because I'm engaging with the theme? I love a good theme, and I like having fun. What can I say? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Not somebody in the tentative town list I've mentioned, that's for sure. It's day 1, and I'm not comfortable to go into something more specific at the moment. Especially since EC very much IS in the equation and that I'm still convinced it's the good choice for town.
I have no idea. Someone tell me where to vote. We need a power to skip to D2. My head is now thinking something really stupid that would draw so much attention to me that I'm not even going to say it so I'll just skirt around it and say I really wish EC would show up and say more stuff outside of calling out votes with no joke and, "you will get absolutely no information flipping me" because the way they've laid low now feels like someone really trying to keep the heat away after gathering it early. But I'm not going to say that because of how much I've lined up the fact that EC would be a safe vote, will be suspicious of votes there or rather how they accrue, etc etc.
It's the best I have right now, and lord knows I've never been afraid of having D1 votes come back to bite me in the ass. So:
Did you all hear about the chameleon that couldn't change colors? He had a reptile dysfunction.
Vote: EvilChameleon
They're a vig, right? I only say because I thought those roles could be neutral. Don't call out my terrible Mafia knowledge!
NAI all the way down. I don't read context until D2. Maybe that's poor play, but I don't see value in D1 reads this far.
Anex is trying to pocket me right in broad daylight!
I can read this two different ways. Genuine town concern that we're floundering or scum trying to plant a seed of doubt in town's mind that they're in a rough spot when they aren't. I think the only way scum wins at this point is for town to panic, lose hope, and fall apart. I think we have 1 scum left:It kind of feels like we're floundering here, so does anyone have anything to say?
Not only is this wholly unnecessary, it goes against the spirit of the game. lol
You're town. I see it. Let's just figure out where we need to hunt.
[/QUOTECaptain dropped it too easily and didn't make 2nd mention of it at all. No "okie dokie" or "what about...." I don't know if Captain is that gutsy to offer their head as scum, but they were vague enough that they probably could've wormed out of their offer if everyone said yes.
*End Sidenote*

I don't think it means much for your overall breakdown, but I just want to comment that I wasn't here EoD1.VA switches to EC without much fanfare then promptly leaves. Easy to latch onto a place without looking suspect?
I read today about a botanist that was trying to cross a four leaf clover with poison ivy...
He was hoping for a rash of good luck.
---
Hitting scum with LP was dumb luck but hey, I'm not complaining!
---
There are currently three players that, in my opinion, have solid town vibes:
– VA: Really like the posts. Like the vibe. Good job!
– Monkey: Very active, very fun, and has good arguments. Huzzah!
– Donnie: Mostly gut feelings, but I like the vibe. There's a certain "honesty" – for lack of a better word – in his posts that I like. Looking forward to reading more from him. Bravo!RIP Donnie.
The rest is still null to me. There is a lot of talk about meta in the top posting players and my eyes are glazing over each time I read that word. These discussions are flying over my head. So I need more time to judge actions.
---
RIP Donnie.
I'm not sure yet if I believe this, but maybe there wasn't any viable wagons for LP to place a vote on?
I too am currently inclined to believe the end of day 1 might have been a SvSvT situation. But is it me or the general consensus seems to point toward a scum Zipped more than a scum EC? And I just can't understand why. Especially with EC's latest posts. Don't get me wrong, I don't have any real opinion about Zipped one way or another, but I wouldn't be ready to vote for him over EC. Something seems off.
Hey ya'll, I'm back older and... none too much wiser. Sorry for the lack of presence on day start, weekends are for family etc, but I'm going to post some thoughts before I sleep, and will be around more tomorrow. Since I was out at day end, I'm going to respond to a few things:
Correct, I didn't. That's my bad, and I'm not going to go back and try to pretend I left any. I'll try to make my thinking more clear at end of day today, I feel much more with my actions in this game being useful by end of D2 than 1.
In general I remember there being some concern about how I interact with people. I'm intentional. My philosophy on how to play the role I'm given best has not changed since I've played the last few games fundamentally, and all my actions in this game fit that thought process.
NOW to be more specific...
Interesting Day's end, feeling v. good about Monkey and Launch now for that tie-breaking combo.
This is a weird post to me. LP would have been replaced, not killed off. Swinging on to break a tie to vote him out should, at the very least, give town points to the people breaking the tie.
I forgot to tbh. I don't typically make town read lists to have ready, my style of play has never been very well organized or honed in on players, I tend to play more on instinct and what I can remember (hence why I rarely, if ever, make it into the end phases of the game. But I also play with that in mind, because I honestly don't think I could be successful in that situation with the limitations my playstyle inherently develops). As for what they are now, The 2 people I'm leaning strongest on town are you and launch for the tie-breaker, though that's mostly due to that move. Prior to it, I don't think I'd have had either of you that high up on the list.
I did have a really fun idea though...
SPEC CHAT! ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?! I have an offer to make. If you would like to have me play the rest of the game like Ernest Cline, a science fiction writer known for both his copious references and him explaining their sources, gained from REady Player One, a book and movie (directed by Steven Spielberg, a beloved director known for his work on films such as Jurassic Park, a movie about dinosaurs, E.T., a movie based on Mac and Me, a movie about McDonald's), vote for my joke tonight.
Interesting proposition, I'm in favor of it personally. It's not necessarily that we need a shot given we hit scum on D1, but if it's about you using it or not, I'm always a fan of evening the odds and gaining more info earlier. I'd go for 12 hours personally, gives more time to digest info and see who does what then, along with ensures ample time for the players whose vote was on them to move them around.
There were only 4 people on LP. One of them (Donnie) is now confirmed as town. There was a 3 way tie with like 10 minutes to go and not many were present. I feel like a bus there was unlikely unless one of the other wagons in contention was also scum. At least, that's what I would like to say, but the 3 other votes on LP were Launch, Nat and Monkey who are all excellent scum players. Perhaps they saw how effective a D1 bus was in Nightless and wanted to see if they could replicate it? I don't actually believe this is likely it's mostly paranoia
I think it's likely that wagon was clean and I'm not looking there right now.
I think I feel better about Nat that he stubbornly stayed on LP for a while despite other options being available.
...man I feel like every time I walk away from the thread I come back to a combo of a lot of posts, and good news. That's amazing!
Going to read through some more and post as time permits, but I may not be fully up and running for a bit til I get to my work laptop.
Mornin!
Welp, that's not how I expected the morning to go. I'm back at work so I'll be poking in and out, but mostly tied up until after.
Wow that's neat. Good job Launch and Kopite.
I continue to be unable to read Nat so that's very cool /s. He noted himself that our reads lined up and he was scum. Obviously that looks bad for me. I'm not even gonna bother to try and dig myself out of this hole. I don't have the energy to do so, and frankly I don't think I really want to play anymore anyway. You might as well just wagon me to get things over with and you can move on to someone else in your PoE. With 2 scum flips we have plenty of room for error. Unfortunately I'm just Vanilla Town, Fred Flinstone. I always wanted to be Luigi in Mario Party and just get carried to victory, it seems like that's gonna happen here.
My prize was a one-shot double vote that has to be used today. If I place it on someone and then change my vote the double is lost, but at least I can remove it say if someone claims something important. My plan was to use it like a normal vote but I don't really care anymore.
Right now, I would be OK with a vote on Random.
Knowing what we know now, these posts are interesting:
I'm chiming in here to say I personally believe Randomless' claim, it matches up with a pattern I've noticed with roles.
Hesitant to say specifics here since it makes it a lot easier to fake claims if the pattern is noted.
unvote
Don't want to risk the day ending prematurely.
Also, the fact that the thread is so quiet makes me nervous and reconsider my vote a bit... Something feels off. Should we still go with a Randomless flip? What do you all think?
To expand our horizon, why don't we post who we would be willing to vote for besides Randomless right now?
Here's my list of people I would be currently willing to place a vote on (same list as I wrote in another post earlier):
(Randomless)
Bojack
EvilChameleon
CaptainNuevo
I explained that already, I'm strictly against voting for Randomless. I received the clarification I was waiting for from Hedin, and I'm going to have to toe this line incredibly carefully, but I can say this:
I believe Randomless' claim 100%. I have very strong reason to believe that there exists a role named Fred Flintstone in this game, that they're town aligned, and lines up with his claim. I know a few things about how Fred Flintstone spends his days.
I also know that there's a very strong through-line in the town-aligned roles I know of:
Gomez Addams - The patriarch of the Adams Family, which had an animated film made by Hannah-Barbera
Fred Flintstone - Patriarch of the Flintstone family, which has an animated show by Hannah-Barbera.
My role lines up with this trend.
I'm aware this is extremely circumstantial, and going to be incredibly hard to get anyone to actually buy in and believe me at this point, but the situation was one that needed to be toed extremely carefully, and was murky enough I wasn't even sure I was allowed to bring up the trend in roles I noticed to begin with.
You want a vote? You got a vote. I'm all in Uncle Sam:
VOTE: Conditional-Pancakes
I need to read their posts more, but it's literally the only other name up here and I feel that strongly against a Randomless vote at this point. I'm literally only doing this to save someone I see as greenchecked personally.
What did the Hockey Player ask for at the diner?
Check, Please.
CaptainNuevo, I'm not sure about your intentions. Would you vote Random but don't do it because of the fear of a turbo? Would you rather like to vote elsewhere?
I would also be very content with a Bojack train. I find it weird that Bojack was willing to go against a Randomless vote though, I strongly feel that Randomless is an easy vote to go with for anyone not looking to raise eyes. Anyone going against it is going to raise eyebrows.
Also before I forget, my current top 2 Town:
Dr.Monkey (or whoever replaces in to this spot)
Randomless.
CaptainNuevo, I'm not sure about your intentions. Would you vote Random but don't do it because of the fear of a turbo? Would you rather like to vote elsewhere?
For future analysis, let me be clear that at this point my vote would still be on Random. Nobody really argued about the merits of voting elsewhere right now (which might or might not be worrying, I guess we'll see tomorrow.)
I don't currently place another vote on Random because I absolutely don't want the day to end prematurely.
Did a quick reread of Bojack, and yeah ok I'm back to thinking he's probably scum, too. I thought there was much less linking him back to LP and Nat, but maybe I only looked from them to him and not from him to them earlier.
Bojack not trying to peel votes away from LP, but justifiying why he wouldn't vote there.
But Bojack used similar reasoning to explain why he wouldn't vote for Zipped, then later still voted there instead of LP.
Nat was tricky to read, but Bojack handwaved Nat after the LP flip for being on that train.
Finally, Bojack defending Random's mood and in a much more muted way stating how he feels that way himself.
After Random, I think we hit Bojack. Maybe regardless of how Random flips, there's enough here to link him back to the other scum.
Enough Horsin' Around
Vote: Bojack Horseman
Bojack Horseman's show is called Horsin' Around.
If we're going to swerve, I prefer a nice smooth swerve now instead of last minute.
Alright, let's do this.
Vote: Bojack
Also, this morning Siri said, "Don't call me Shirley." It might be because I accidentally left my phone in Airplane mode.
I don't think it means much for your overall breakdown, but I just want to comment that I wasn't here EoD1.
Good observationRandomless/Vere is at EoD says he will stay on Zipped but switch to LP if there is a risk of a tie. Seems a bit odd that he wouldn't take the free bus credit like Nat did on LP since he was there at ED. Makes me feel slightly better about Random/Vere.
So, to recap what's going on here, Captain has danced around saying that part of his vanilla role PM was incorrect, that his character name did not match the flavor towards the middle end of the PM, and could not confirm that out loud, but that this flavor belonged to a Fred Flinstone vanilla role PM. When asked how much he can say about it, Captain was told he'd be modkilled if we went into any specifics, and then Captain offers to let us solve him by leveraging said stipulation.I hate when I goof that up....Going to repost the last part:
*Sidenote*
I could see CaptainNuevo as town based on their option to go nuclear, but what holds me back from giving that a "town" check is that when Launchpad said this:
Captain dropped it too easily and didn't make 2nd mention of it at all. No "okie dokie" or "what about...." I don't know if Captain is that gutsy to offer their head as scum, but they were vague enough that they probably could've wormed out of their offer if everyone said yes.
*End Sidenote*
I did not put the pieces together that his nuclear option involved getting modkilled. That does change my view. If he is town, then my Possibly Scum list goes down to 3. And we have 3 days left. Town has this.So, to recap what's going on here, Captain has danced around saying that part of his vanilla role PM was incorrect, that his character name did not match the flavor towards the middle end of the PM, and could not confirm that out loud, but that this flavor belonged to a Fred Flinstone vanilla role PM. When asked how much he can say about it, Captain was told he'd be modkilled if we went into any specifics, and then Captain offers to let us solve him by leveraging said stipulation.
Frankly, I wouldn't have mentioned any of this because there's a dozen different reasons why he could've gotten that in error and also it's not in the spirit of the game to use outside information, especially because it could backfire but mostly because gamerunners make mistakes and we should be fair to how they intended the game to be played…
But I can't deny its a strong likelihood Captain is just town. I just can't buy this kind of gambit from a person who hasn't played mafia in a long long while now.
Pancakes / VA were giving me the same vibes of looking somewhere to vote that was not LP. EC is always an easy target.
Both Pancakes and VA seemed content with going for the easy votes on D1/D2 for me.
I dont see how Captain not having played in a while really factors in here?Good observation

Not just the dying part. If he's scum, the whole thing is a gambit because he never received a vanilla role PM with that flavor or whateverI dont see how Captain not having played in a while really factors in here?
playing the martyr isnt some dense galaxy brain strategy, its a pretty basic ploy for someone who has a fair bit of mafia experience, which even with his absence id still firmly say is true of him.
you just said yourself that theres plenty of room for why he might have gotten the mixed up info?Not just the dying part. If he's scum, the whole thing is a gambit because he never received a vanilla role PM with that flavor or whatever
Day 2
Pancakes throws Donnie a town read despite being dead and flipping town. Seems like an easy way to look like you're engaging.
Pancakes comes into the thread, shading basically all the vote getters at EoD Day 1. Lone_Prodigy, Zipped, EC, Launchpand, Random and Captain. EC and Zipped are confirmed town at this point and I highly doubt Launch is scum so that leaves Random/Captain who had one vote each. Don't really like the comment, looks like a great comment because Nat is well protected within the LP train with no scrutinity on him.
CaptainNuevo comes into the day, doesn't really react to the LP flip or the Kopite claim. Thinks LP would be replaced instead of voted. Says Launch and Monkey are the strongest town reads.
Randomless claiming the LP wagon is clean (lol)
Both Random and Pancakes discussing Nat before his inevitable flip.
Anex comment about Natiko.
Captain and Vincent's reaction to Nat's death.
Randomless' reaction to Nat's death
Pancake's reaction to Nat's death.

Pancakes missing that Captain voted for her.
Captain puts out that he is willing to vote out Bojack and puts Randomless as his top town read.
Pancakes keeps asking people where they would like to vote
My vote would still be on Random says Pancakes, 5 minutes later Launch posts his read on Bojack
3 minutes later, Pancakes agrees with Launch.
Asks for the okay from Launch to switch to Bojack
Captain comes in and switches votes without any fanfare
Pancakes and VA agreeing to swing to Bojack.
Anex felt like a non presence at EoD. I feel much better about how Captain played EoD, he came into the day and put out some votes and then switched to Bojack without looking for approval. My town stock of him is high after re-reading D1 and D2. Anex is playing a much more reserved game and I'm not sure if I'm to scum read him for it.
Pancakes > VA > Randomless/Vere > Anex > Captain in terms of scum reads.
The way Pancakes played D1 and D2 EoD is such a stark contrast, it is really making me doubt Pancakes being town. Both Pancakes and VA seemed content with going for the easy votes on D1/D2 for me. At this point if there was two scum left I'd consider Pancakes/Random because the way Pancakes was defending Random at EoD Day 2 seemed unnatural. Really pushed the vote for Bojack despite Random/Bojack both being good flips and Random being left means it really muddies the water for future votes (which is what is happening right now).

I still don't know if that whole thing was a fabricated SvS feud or what.Also the bigly and barely founded pressure Natiko put on Anex upon their entering the game feels like big points in their favour, it was the kind of push that could easily spiral into a typical D1 shit kill, might have if monkey wasnt quick on the defence.
Welp, I can't deny it was definitely the safe vote. But yeah...EC was kind of asking to be voted out, and I've stopped trying to figure out why.Hard for me to tell me without timestamps but it doesn't really change how I felt about how the end of day went. Leaving it on EC for me seems like a very safe and non committal vote.
Anyone else have thoughts on this? I've mad my position clear that I wish Anex had used their ability at least one other time so we could have someone else confirm it. At first I didn't want to push it if it could lead to a town death, BUT---someone check my math----regardless if Anex were to accidentally die or not, we have 3 days left still.If the group was willing to accept the risk, sure. And yes, it would be foolish to advertise my target.
I also didn't think this was a fair proposition to convince others to get me past the day phase, so I didn't bother proposing it.
What do you have for us Stan, in the I don't like that person range?The writing was really on the wall D1 huh?
Also the bigly and barely founded pressure Natiko put on Anex upon their entering the game feels like big points in their favour, it was the kind of push that could easily spiral into a typical D1 shit kill, might have if monkey wasnt quick on the defence.
Depends on the number of scum. With 2, we have 2 days left.I'd like to re-visit this while we're all hanging out. I asked Anex if they'd be willing to target someone again tonight to prove their role if they survived being voted out:

Welp, I can't deny it was definitely the safe vote. But yeah...EC was kind of asking to be voted out, and I've stopped trying to figure out why.
Partly through this reread, the main bigly read i have that i feel comfortable saying before finishing is that Monkeys D1 feels bigly town to me,What do you have for us Stan, in the I don't like that person range?
Depends on the number of scum. With 2, we have 2 days left.
1 scum left: 7 town
D4: MV/NK->1;5
D5: MV/NK->1;3/2 (Donut Death)
D6: MV->dead either way
2 scum left: 6 town
D4:MV/NK/Donut Death->2;4(3)
D5: MV/NK->2;2
It seems like an extra person dying doesn't move the needle for Volo other than fighting over majority.
Not Monkey as the other scum, but Anex. I'll go to the grave that Monkey/Neki is town.Do you mean Monkey as the other S there, or Anex?
Partly through this reread, the main bigly read i have that i feel comfortable saying before finishing is that Monkeys D1 feels bigly town to me,
i know Monkey and Nat could argue as SvS easily but that particulars of it evolving from a quick push and immediate intercept over Anex feels like a far too organic impetus for it. Unless something in Nekis play makes me walk this read back im pretty high on Neki being town via inheritance.
Between Anex being the catalyst of that exchange and how theyve describe their play about their role im also feeling more town on them as well
Do you think it's worth Anex using their power tonight if they live?Depends on the number of scum. With 2, we have 2 days left.
1 scum left: 7 town
D4: MV/NK->1;5
D5: MV/NK->1;3/2 (Donut Death)
D6: MV->dead either way
2 scum left: 6 town
D4:MV/NK/Donut Death->2;4(3)
D5: MV/NK->2;2
It seems like an extra person dying doesn't move the needle for Volo other than fighting over majority.
I very much doubt it matters. Just being honest at a surface level, having him prove his PR means needing Anex to get to Volo in three days if we haven't won yet, or tomorrow with 1 person claiming the message (if scum have 2 players; and there will be WIFOM here). At that point, we either trust Anex or we don't and him proving his PR is a moot point. At least, it's not immediately important to me.Do you think it's worth Anex using their power tonight if they live?
I'd just like to take a moment and say that THIS is what a good post during this day is.
Pancakes comes into the thread, shading basically all the vote getters at EoD Day 1. Lone_Prodigy, Zipped, EC, Launchpand, Random and Captain. EC and Zipped are confirmed town at this point and I highly doubt Launch is scum so that leaves Random/Captain who had one vote each. Don't really like the comment, looks like a great comment because Nat is well protected within the LP train with no scrutiny on him.
You were highly skeptical on D1 and then on D2 you were open to voting with whoever you could find, that's why it doesn't sit right with me. What changed from D1 and D2 that made you much more trustworthy to follow VA?
You're also ignoring all the points I made about you constantly shading the D1 votes having by saying it was a scum vs scum situation or giving a weak town read to someone who had already flipped town (Donnie).
I too am currently inclined to believe the end of day 1 might have been a SvSvT situation. But is it me or the general consensus seems to point toward a scum Zipped more than a scum EC? And I just can't understand why. Especially with EC's latest posts. Don't get me wrong, I don't have any real opinion about Zipped one way or another, but I wouldn't be ready to vote for him over EC. Something seems off.
Oh wow...
I would do the exact same if you were talking the same way exclusively about VA, for example. I'm not scum reading you because you're scum reading me, lol! I'm questioning your intent because what you write seems heavily disingenuous.
Stuff like this:
Skeptical about what? And voting with whoever I could find? What?
The very first post I made on day two had me town read VA. Come on...
And I'm sure you'll find that me trusting Launch with the events that happened during day 2 cannot be such a deep mystery.
I'm ignoring this because it doesn't make any sense to me. I read it few times and 'm not even sure what you mean by this. Shading who? Shading how? It's so strange.
And about Donnie, I've said at least twice during the first day that I had a tentative town read on them. I mean, come on...
That's why I'm saying you were skeptical in comparison to your D2 where you were ready to move your vote wherever.
I didn't move my vote day 1 because I wasn't convince at all that LP was scum. It's as simple as that. It seemed to me at the time that he was mostly voted out simply because of a low post count, and it wasn't something I was convinced was the right thing to do.
And here's another example of why I think what you write is so manipulative:
The context (and what I said multiple times already) clearly doesn't show I was ready to vote "wherever", yet this is the narrative you insist on pushing.
But you do you I guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Everyone always says that to me but I'm trying, I swear!
Is it because I'm engaging with the theme? I love a good theme, and I like having fun. What can I say? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Not somebody in the tentative town list I've mentioned, that's for sure. It's day 1, and I'm not comfortable to go into something more specific at the moment. Especially since EC very much IS in the equation and that I'm still convinced it's the good choice for town.
Aren't you afraid we will still end up talking about the same things concerning EC in the same way tomorrow too? And the day after? That's what I'm afraid off.
For future analysis, let me be clear that at this point my vote would still be on Random. Nobody really argued about the merits of voting elsewhere right now (which might or might not be worrying, I guess we'll see tomorrow.)
I don't currently place another vote on Random because I absolutely don't want the day to end prematurely.
That's not true! I even said it might be all about perspective (here). You shouldn't take that as a evaluation of the way you play at all! Regardless of how you flip (maybe, the day isn't over yet) you played a great game I think! But IT IS a game of Mafia, what can you do? :)
Alright, let's do this.
Vote: Bojack
Also, this morning Siri said, "Don't call me Shirley." It might be because I accidentally left my phone in Airplane mode.
I have a hard time swallowing the scum!VA pill given how much effort he's put into D2/D3/D4. Give me your case there.
