There does seem to be a distinct lack of early votes so far tbh.

Voting is fun!

Remember Image Mafia and how much we were all voting early on? That felt good, I thought it was a sign that we were back to the "vote for people" meta on D1.

We still have 3 players who haven't posted (Nin, Brasil and Swamped) and some players who only opened their chests and disappeared. But it's the weekend so we may have low activity. I'm not to worried about that.

Yeah that's fair, I think the chest opening probably replaced the spot where early joke votes probably would have occurred more too.

Sorry about not being around guys, I'm at a party currently and have no idea when I'll be home.

When I get home, I'll catch up.

I meant how eager you were to know.
Information is the name of the game. If I'm seen as too eager then so be it, that's how I play. I got what I want and now it's there for everyone to see.

Also, if we don't poke and prod at one's post then how can we unravel if someone's telling the truth? Care to suggest how I should have done it? Or should I not have done it at all?

So what did you find out exactly?

That sounds like a weak excuse for not voting and I'm not liking it. I want a vote from him everyday.

I think I agree with you here. It's not particularly beneficial to hold off on voting, unless Chug has reason to believe that he can be sure he's voting scum in the near future. At the very least, it makes sense to me to take a chance on a vote at the end of D1 for a (roughly...) 50/50 chance of marking 1 tally against scum.


We're not supposed to edit posts, that's one of the main rules, just a heads up.

You can't edit posts. Be careful with that.
Sorry! I realized my mistake as soon as I did it. Thanks for the heads up, y'all. D:

Man I broke my own cardinal rule about not joining games with a large number of players but the allure of a bastard game was too tempting...SO MANY POSTS. And it's the weekend, forgive my lack of activity. Sorry I missed opening a chest though, congrats to the winner.

In fact,
So my role has an hono(u?)n system. If I vote for a town player I lose an honor point and if I vote for a non town player, I gain an honor point. If I die with positive honor I give an item to a town player and if I die with negative honor it goes to a random player. I would rather not give an item to scum by accident and there's a much better chance to vote for town than scum just because of the nature of the game, so how I'm going to play this is I'm just not going to vote unless I'm confident the person I'm placing a vote on isn't town.

Scratch what I said earlier, I misread this as negative honor goes to scum.
I still don't like the idea of not voting, but I can see how it statistically makes sense, assuming this is a positive item.

But this Chuggs item seems different than the items of the last game.

Chuggs needs to die for the item to be shared.
Is that so? That could be right, I'm not sure.

I misread the same thing, though I can see why Chuggs wouldn't want to vote in this case.

It makes no sense since he has neutral honour currently, so if he dies with never voting, uh....who knows what happens to the item.

he can't use this role, as posted, as an excuse to not vote at least once.

Well, I suppose we can rule out voting for Chug or Loki D1 based on risk alone. Possibly Apo, as well, given he won the first event.

We are only trying to guess what the gamerunner intended. And we are talking about Geno here so anything it's possible.

It just "feel" different to me. In the previous game you were able to secretly pass the item but, at least with what Chuggs said, he can't to do that.

So for the time being voting for both loki and chuggs is out of the question since they got good reasons for being town (for now. This is a bastard mafia after all).

For the time being I'm going to abstain from voting however, Oliver James , apart from Chuggs, do you have a read on anyone else?

Note: I'll be mostly unavailable tonight as I'm at an event. I'll pick up the slack tomorrow.

TearablePuns I don't think you answered me earlier when I asked, did you?
Have you ever played Life is Strange?
Hella!

It's funny that even though you would technically be dead, you could still choose who to give an item to.

Am I dead? I didn't open a chest. I really didn't think the event would end before every chest was open.

That is super screechy that someone was here and didn't open a chest though

You're not wrong.
But Fran could be switching is scum style up

For the record since this sounds ambiguous reading it back.

I believe his role PM may be lying either outright or by omitting something important.

Fwiw, Geno didn't lie via roles last time, the lies were things like minigames not doing what they were supposed to, shitty secret votes, and I think there was an item that made no sense with who it belonged to.

I was reading the rules for any unique stuff and just saw the extra 30 minutes if a tie happens. Shuts down that concern at least.

Means I can be even more of an asshole at day end to catch fence sitters.

Wait a sec, so the honor points are reversed? Good catch.

Reversed in what way? It reads right to me, bad if he votes for town, good if he votes for non-town. Or am I reading it wrong too?

I'm here, just chillin.

My hot takes are that Sorian is Town and Tearable is Scum, and their most recent posts do nothing to change this.
