Any opinions on this? Am I on the wrong track?

I'm beginning to suspect Geno, which I suppose makes jimmy top suspect? This is mostly due to his recent thoughts on when Grizzly called him out for potential role fishing. It feels like revisionist history to start calling it "nonsense", when if you go back and read that post you can see where it's coming from. It's quite early in the day, and Geno says that it might be okay to reveal your role. It's not specifically targeted towards anyone yeah, but that might be to scum's advantage in this scenario- all it takes is one person (doesn't matter who) to say what makes their role unique and boom, scum has some extra, potentially useful information.

That's all conjecture of course and that post on its own could be totally innocuous, but I'm most concerned by the way Geno is trying to flip this on Grizzly now.

Sorry all, been busy unexpectedly.

I'm not familiar with Kyan's playstyle but I would describe it as eccentric, some scum feelings, but I can't help think he wouldn't be this extra if he was scum.

Grizzly and SweetNicole are the only two I feel lean town at the moment. I need to further read but for now my vote will change.

I'll go with my gut.

VOTE Kyanrute

So you don't think Kyan would be doing all of this if he was scum, but you're voting for him anyways? Can you sum it up a little better than a gut feeling?

Either the roleplaying he's doing is just helpless for town or he's scum. Again, if that's just how he plays then I guess we should find another target and leave him be, but I have no previous info on him.

Any opinions on this? Am I on the wrong track?

Yeah, it seems more hostile towards Grizzly than would be warranted. Nothing nonsensical about it.

It's definitely something to keep in mind, but I'm not looking to vote for it yet.

I know Geno can exaggerate a bit, especially when playing defensively, so that can explain the tone he used when responding.

Last game I was accused for role fishing and it was something innocous as hell, so I understand his plight. I'm of the opinion that this community blows out of proportion some broad questions related to that. Grizzly comment wasn't nearly that bad as Geno made it sound though.

Grizzly consented to Geno's post. He didn't try to contest the response Geno had to him, just agreed and moved on.

I'm less interested in defending Grizzly and more interested in seeing where Geno is coming from here. The way he's trying to spin it And the fact that he did it in the first place is weird to me, regardless of Grizzly agreeing with him or not- I just have a different read here.

From the looks of things, Geno took the one thing and went to town with it, the moment Grizzly consented to the root of the issue, the entire thing just dissolved.

Hmm, want to hear more from Grizzly and Geno again on this then. I didn't get this impression that the matter was resolved.

Can you point out the former in the thread? The way you worded it seems like you have someone in mind.

Potential discussion in order to appear present:

Let's try to not get lost in the mechanics of cards right now, comrades. We've all seen it before - without doubt, machinery has greatly increased the number of well-to-do idlers.

This combined with some of the early strong anti-information comments felt artificially strong. Following the seeming artificiality, comrade Brazil was willing to touch a bit on the matter, what makes the stance seem more natural. A minor concern.

Or it's just there to mess with us.

Imagine if people could buy properties. I'd feel bad for anyone who buys Oxford Street only for it to get demolished.

Very difficult to determine if comrade Stuart is genuine in his curiosity. Could be newness to communist ideas or not. Not enough to act on its own, but food for the days to come.

Yup. It's no doubt going to be critical to understand the board and card mechanics, but by that same token, it's going to be even easier for people to feign town play by focusing solely on that aspect of the game- especially without any concrete information beyond player positions.

Speculation about how scum NKs work won't get us very far today with nothing concrete to work with. Plus, most tokens are clumped together as it is so, at least for tonight, most kills are going to be possible if range does play a factor.

All-around comments about how speculation will not, no matter what, further the cause of the revolution. An amalgamate of a stance, excellent for future stance-switches. A concern.

Train being in jail does mean one less command tonight, if they have one.

Which could be good or bad for us :(.

An innocent comment that, to this comrade, seems to serve no grander purpose. A curiosity...

That card is certainly going to cause chaos, especially if someone is unlucky enough to get the card to get to a free space, which ends up being oxford and someone else has that card.

...that has a hint of a pattern. Looking for bad things? A very specific thing to pick as a capitalist instead of diversifying the concerns. Not a concern after reconsideration.

That would make sense, but if that is the case, I feel like scum might have the ability to figure out who is what token. I really doubt that community chest card is the only way of revealing tokens.

Well, the double mechanic is definitely in. The rules talk about how if you roll doubles three times you go to jail. It'd be pretty weird if it didn't use two six-sided dice, but we'll definitely know tomorrow for sure.

Abstract speculation. Somewhat of a minor concern, I can remember at least one post where this comrade is being abstract too so the pitchfork stings back at me as well.

Mechanics and cards are here to confuse us and I'm sure they'll fuck us over real fast.

Not in that the mechanics will hurt us in themselves, I just think the addition of them will give mafia easy ways to gaslight and obfuscate info.

Stance-stating, no engagement with the topic. Concerning, but the argument presented has the in-built defense where comrade Fish merely says that why would he discuss a topic that he feels it not worth it. Thus, hard to determine if genuine.

I was going off of this conversation.

Which I could definitely be reading into wrong because I am really struggling with everything Kyan says. To me, it felt like he was still willing to push for revealing C12.

Kyanrute, please talk normally, or at least tone it down a little bit.

The interpretation by comrade Ketkat is understandable, but pushing for C12 reveal was not in this comrade's mind at any point. That idea was just brought up to see where the rest of the commune would want to go with it. As comrade Kyan never mentioned this outright, it is up to each on their own to decide what I was fishing for.

Responding to the concerns of the fellow revolutionaries is hard work! -an official comrade Kyaaa sidenote

Where did you get "no matter what" from? I'm very clear that my hesitance to rely too much on mechanical speculation stems from the lack of concrete information we have on account of it being D1. By this same token, it's only natural I might have a "stance-switch" when we do have more information to work with.

Yeah, rereading through that now, I can see how you were trying to just talk about the cards themselves and how those could be important. I still think it was a little strange to bring up revealing C12 in the first place with everything that implies, but I don't think you really pushed for it.

"No matter what" was used to describe your opinion about mechanics speculation in reference to today only. No matter what, the discussion about the mechanics would be useless today, that was the way I interpreted your opinion on the matter. It felt like a easy way to comment on something without going deeper into the argument.

Gotcha. In any case, I do stand by what I said in those posts. All we know other than the potential cards that can be drawn is what tokens are on the board and where they are. I think it's premature to to delve too deeply into those matters before anything has happened that can inform our discussions.

Comrade DCPat missing the bit about non-voters and identity confirmation at the start seems like a very non-capitalist move to make. The capitalists like to keep their mirrors shiny and only let the sun shine where their images are closest to the perfection they pretend to be. Enough to keep the comrade around for a day.

I don't know if the issue really 'dissolved'. I still said I felt his post felt like fishing, and Geno replied that I shouldn't say "nonsense". I didn't feel like it was worth it to argue the issue any further, and he hasn't really posted since them except for mentioning again how he doesn't like Kyan's posting style.

I don't think Kyanrute is scum. If he was scum, I think he would have re-adjusted his actions after so many called him out from it. Instead doubling down on it feels more like a town move, town who doesn't really care what others think.

I'm saying that I think scum would have been more likely to adjust their behaviour once so many people called them out. It's possible scum Kyan is trying to stick to his guns, but I think his behaviour is more likely to be town.

If I was in their situation, it would look like I read Kalor's post and tried to reason my way off of Kyan, therefore trying to get votes off of me. I agree that from my end it is nothing, but it definitely looks suspicious that two people took votes off of someone immediately after someone states that mafia is probably on them.

But if mafia did that you would think they were incredibly stupid.

That timing is just crazy, but would scum really all switch their vote at once?

Even if Xbro and Sexy Fish were both scum, I seriously doubt this was something they planned, but ended up unvoting at the same time by accident.
Back in HvV, FEP and I were scum partners and ended up backing off of someone at the exact same time because we saw the same window of opportunity. Accidents happen.

Which basically means it's NAI right now. Just something to look back to in the future if it comes to that.

Yea if it would work like that Mafia would be so easy.

I'm not inclined to believe scum would've been on Kyan because of the easy vote. It was not an easy vote because it was purely based on the way Kyan was posting. Votes on Kyan were more bad votes than easy votes.
