What the fuck is happening?


How am I holding the balance of power?
What about the Scots who don't want independence?

You want to have west scotland?
Why would you want to be absorbed into a country? This isn't Crimea brah.
But they did take their freedom.

That's why Scotland is a part of the British Empire.


Hm, makes sense.

Penny for your thoughts on the actual game, ET?

How do you feel about that group of posters in there, Nin?

As of now I don't really like it.

It's a rarity I know but I liked your post repeating that I would love to hear some thought on the game.

Stuart took it as a personal attack and lashed out.
I took a note

No idea. Everything posted so far is basically fluff.

Good morning.

Since we don't have to worry about this being a full on crazy bastard aka talk about stupid mechanics we can at least try to talk to each other.

My reveal to be TV was not fluff though :(
What do you think about the barrage of people throwing their vote on me?
Scum partners trying to look town?
Actual town who just want to see me lynched?

I read nin's move as a town play.

The people latching on him are going after a low hanging fruit. I'd bet at least one scum player had a vote on nin by now.

To be completely honest, I expected you to be one of those players grabbing that low hanging fruit.
Kinda surprised but glad that you didn't.

You're either town or scum.

It's hard to say anything right now about the votes on you. I think it's too early to draw conclusions from it. Some of them feel like they just wanted to vote to appear more active at the start.

Typical era, somebody makes a weird gambit and most peeps just go meh and carry on. Any other site theyd be lynched, here it's another day.

Oh and I agree on what you said.
Crazy times
Who would you say is the most likely scum on you? We have:

Fantomas turmoil7 and Stuart444

Fantomas seems to vote you because of your connection from recent games. Turmoil blatantly jumps on the wagon, probably supposedly for the lulz. Stuart is the only one standing by his vote, arguing the claim is weird. All the while Faddy "jokingly" pushes you, but is content with others voting you.

Vote: Faddy

I don't think he'd definitely be lynched in other communitites. There are benefits and disadvantages to this kind of play.

Do you want to say nin should be lynched? Don't hide in vague statements or observations. Take a stance.

Morning, everyone. I see the game's already started and the back-stabbing has already begun - truly, you have all embraced the spirit of Brexit and I couldn't be more proud of you.

On a more serious level, I tend not to put too much stock into early voting on D1, since so much of it usually consists of prods and banter. Personally, I wouldn't say that Nin's early claim was especially train-worthy - it's certainly an early time to make a claim, but it's the kind of claim that anyone could make, so I don't read much from it at this point.

For what it's worth, I wouldn't be lynching Nin because of his opening, and I hardly believe anyone would, including the people with a vote on him.

You could take the easy cop out and say you don't know what to make of nin. You can argue either side of pro or contra a lynch.
Yet you sit here, try to look busy. Make a joke and no one will mind? You refuse to play the game. D1 is only awful when people don't play. Time is up.

Take away the l and youre grand

Sorry sorry.

Anyway, from what I can see, nin's claim kinda came out of nowhere. The game hasn't even started yet and he was already claiming. What was the point?

Just hates girls, thats all.

But what you said is how i feel. No pressure for nin to do what he did, so he wants to be targetted fsr. Maybe hes scum and hopes hiding in plain sight for now saves him for a few days, or maybe hes townie trying to get scum to target him.

I can see the sense in this line of thinking, but it does seem a little blunt of Nin to be trying something like this right out of the gate. Could be a bluff either way, to be honest, so I'm not rushing to jump to conclusions just yet.

Think about it. Just think about it.
Why in the blue hell would scum risk to do that at day one? I could easily have done that claim on D2 or D3.

But as alexem said. I can understand why you think that way. It is just wrong though

When can we expect some results ?
Hopefully not 10 to 30 minutes before day end

But I think on D2 or D3, your claim would have less impact as we'd have a lynch and a NK(or even NKS!) to go on. On D1 with such uncertainty and confusion, the claim works better

Well, we won't know until day end unless you get turboed. On the flip side, if you are town then I will be lynched for stanning your lynch so hard and good. So, red dot onto my forehead too

What do you expect Nin? The only think people can realistically give you is that they don't think it's a scumtell.
Right now you seem to be looking for people to townread you over this.

Wrong.
My goal is to be looking for people to scum read them.

I use my role at the fullest.
It's a tool for town.
I don't need to survive, that's the most common mistake people do while playing vanilla. It's not about surviving its about getting the most out of your role. That's what I am doing atm.
I don't care if I get lynched day 1 since I just want to get as much info out of everyone as possible. My death will lead to an to vitcory

A vote as for now won't be your death.
I doubt you will stick with that vote.

Morning all, I see that I missed more talk on nin with a few fluffy fun times in the middle.

Why in the blue hell would scum risk to do that at day one?

Nin does make a good point here since it would make him stand out among the crowd, despite other votes going out. Only thing is though if we go too far down the rabbit hole of 'scum wouldn't do that', it could lead us into bad situations later on however I'm still willing to believe what I said yesterday that this is probably some sort of gambit of sorts for nin.

I do feel like maybe there could be scum in amongst the fluffy fun time posts, but then again, it is day 1. It's something to keep an eye on for sure.

Yeah, but that excuse kinds just counts for the early phase of the day.
I for one do not let that slide, since day 1 is the same as day 2 or 3. its a day where someone will be lynched.
No need to talk it down and say afterwards "yeah it was day 1" its just a lame excuse.

You derailed Day 1 by making it about your vanilla townie claim.
