Bear going after ab seems like a déjà vu. Typical scum bear pretending busy work. But it was already called out and now he has to contribute more.

I've glanced over ET so far. Gimme a second.

Other than that Fantomas highlighting the Donna post feels good. I got the same vibe. But it's far too early to read into that

EzekelRAGE will you offer more than a shrug?
Also Grizzly what did you want to imply with that answer there?
Interesting
Nothing right now - the thing I pointed out isn't by itself going to make me think Zeke is scum. But it is an observation I think needed to be pointed out.
lol

For myself, I'm liking Fantomas' contributions so far and I've found his observations interesting. I'd also like to hear more from empressdonna on the proceedings so far - from a re-read of the thread, I've not really felt anything overly committal from her posts thus far. Kalor is also somewhat of a blind spot for me at this point.

Fantomas Faddy I think it could be interesting to vote bdubs, can you lend me a hand?
I don't think anyone has ever asked me to specifically vote for someone this early in a day phase in a game so far. Huh.

Personally I was waiting to see Dubs' respond to my last post where I tagged Donna and him asking for their thoughts on the other topics today so far. He's talked about Nin and he's talked a little about ET now, but I'd like to hear his thoughts on other things too.

I don't put much value in the dubs 'slip' as alignment indicative, but given that it isn't something completely made of thin air, and that Fanto noticed it and putted it out in the open for us, it makes me feel that they likely aren't scummates given that we can lynch people for dumber reasons.

Sleeping pattern IRL is messed up, so I'm all over the place for when I'm awake and when I'm sleeping x.x

Unvote

As much I want to lynch Fantomas for being a dirty traitor, he's being pretty townie in my eyes so far.

One does not simply choose to tunnel, the tunnel chooses them.

Now what does this actually even mean? It just sounds like you're trying to be overly fancy... :\

This seems... rather hostile if you're just neutral reading him. Are you scum reading Gorlak for some reason?

His push on me was garbage with shoddy analysis of nin voters. He then back pedalled so hard and now he is scum reading (???) B-Dubs. I'm leaning him scum right now.

Like what is the case on B-Dubs aside from a dubious slip? Their reaction wasn't great but I didn't think it was scummy.

I'm not scum reading bdubs.

Bdubs is an obviously traumatized player, who is haunted by nightmares of being lynched D1. He displayed an emotional reaction after the tiniest case against him. You think raising pressure on him is the wrong way to go?
I called the two of you because I expected you to see what I was doing there and didn't get a bad vibe from you so far.

I pointed out earlier too how most of his other posts were just random Brexit shitposty jokes and didn't have much substance to them. That's why I want to get his thoughts now on the other topics since he's here again.

I agree to an extent about your read on Gorlak too. I made a note in my first catch-up post today about a weird interaction between him and Gir, what's your take on that?
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.

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.

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.

Vote: girl

Take away the l and youre grand

Hahaha, timing. Even more sweet with the autocorrect.

Thanks for engaging the game gir.

Back to faddy
Vote: Faddy
I don't really see how Gir's response addressed any of those concerns that Gorlak just made, which apparently were enough for him to vote for Gir?

Unless there's like an inside joke or a reference I'm missing here, it just stuck out to me when I was catching up this morning.

Fantomas
That's some a+ misrepresentation of me/gir - because you left out the one post before my unvite in which he took a stance on nin, which was what I pressured him for.

Why was the stance on nin important? At this point it doesn't look like anyones wants to push on nin today and he had been gathering a few other town reads before you decided he was a bellweather for the game.

Do you still have the read that a nin voter is scum?

Ohh, I see yeah I missed the quote on the post where he voted Nin. My bad. I think the timing of that whole exchange, and that you quoted his "centrist" post instead of his vote fucked with me lol. Yeah, it doesn't look as bad now that I'm reading that right.

So wait... you're not scum reading him but you're just voting him to get a reaction...? Kinda odd, but okay.

Reading it over again, I'm kinda agreeing with Faddy in regards to B-Dubs. I don't really know what to make of the "slip", but I'm not particularly scum reading him.

Zeke is pulling an interesting play style right now. It reminds me of how the Overrider in Conspiracy was playing on D1. Basically trying to get people to want to vote for them by behaving kind of strangely so they could use their power to override the vote for the day.

Zeke bothers me due to meta reasons in a game we played long ago. I can never get a good read on him, and I'm confused by his posting style right about now.

Zeke's been a real question mark for me so far. There's little to go on from his posts, but I can't make out the intent.

So do you think they're an overrider, or just observing?

Just an observation for now I suppose. There was also an Overrider in GoT, but they didn't play like Geno did in Conspiracy. So I'm not saying that's how an Overrider has to play, it's just something I thought of just then.

Nin was the only tangible issue people could comment on. Getting a stance out of gir was me pulling him into the game and getting traceable evidence of his thoughts. Before he danced around and offered fluff
A second post of the game Vanilla Town claim was a "tangible issue"? This feels more like stretching than "pulling [someone] into the game".

Oh. We started. I'm not fucking awake.

What do I usually say?

"This is my first game be nice. TL; DR. Splinter is the worst. Etc"


Never to you.

Fanto seems towny. Can't lynch a fellow Box Peek fan certainly.

Can confirm I've only played twice with B-Dubs prior to this game. It is a slip? Dunno. But a weird retort to Faddy over a prod vote nonetheless.

Nin opening with a vanilla is such a nin thing to do and I think he would did it even as scum especially after the ego boost from last game.

And Zeke starts digging... as long as I'm not involved.

Can we do the smart thing and vote for Cabot?

Grizz feels pretty town-y to me, but he might just have the experience to fake it. If he's town then we're probably in luck, if not we should try and figure it out quick and lynch him.
Gorlak has been jumping around a lot, Faddy twice, Gir, me. Might be just him trying to see what flips where, might be him trying to see if he can start a lynch train on someone.
Faddy seems like he did in the last two games, nothing strange there yet.
GP seems like he was trying to push a Nin lynch earlier, but kinda feels like he hasn't done much outside of that.
I trust you for now, last game you were giving it away pretty easy on D1, so either you've gotten better and figured out the tell you showed or you're town this time. I think it's the latter right now.
Zeke feels odd, he's playing this strangely. He hasn't done much of anything. He feels obviously scummy, either it's a bluff to get us to vote for him to activate his power or it's a double bluff by a scum Zeke to get us to think he's got a power he wants us to trigger. Part of me wants to vote for him just to see which it is.

Er, that should more accurately say "evasive comments", but whatever. Point is, I'm getting a slight scum read on you.
