Not sure about Yuta since he had that post + vote and nothing since. I could see you doing it though.
Was Anex town or scum in their first game?
but do you agree with people's meta reads on me? 👀
I guess it's more of a Wee/Sneeks, Sneeks/Yuta situation.
So far my early gut Scum read falls on ATP.
vote: ATP
I'm going to vote here for now, but I'd also be open to go for one of the low posters.
Yeah, hoping someone helicopters my ass out at the last second 👀
ephi no bully
Isn't this like the unspoken rule of mafia? Everyone phones it in, votes out some random person with a vanilla claim, and then the next day we try to squeeze water from the rock that is D1.
This isn't filler because you'll hit the post quota, so it almost sounds like hedging. Like if your D1 isn't great, you already said why.
It's not scummy, but I'm going to file this away for later.
It is a reference to voting Sneeks, wee or anybody else who generates many interactions. Day 1 always is a complete guess in the dark, I think we should either vote for people who do not generate many interactions or people who we'll need to forcefully check at some point anyway (Blarg or jman, the latter has been a while since I played with him the last time though, so that could have changed by now)
Anex was town, and I don't agree with the people's meta reads on you.
Vote: malus
dislike the grouping he did earlier and I disagree with the ATP scumread imo. giving me scummy vibes

It's both. I'm worried people read my posts as tryhard/not genuine even though I am just playing and it can't help but make me think I'm doing something wrong. That's more of a personal thing that I want to fix but I can also see scum taking advantage of this and pushing it to try and get me voted out since it would save them a NK.
By all means.
This is why I prefer shit posting on D1 since putting in an effort makes me look like the bad guy.
This is what happens when I explain who I am voting for and who I am willing to switch to before EoD, people say it's hedging but I'd rather explain it now before you need to ask than later. At this point it'd be me easier to not respond to anyone because I'm either hedging or I'm making excuses or I'm afraid of looking bad.

Because they don't provide much information to work with, so better to get to them while we have options, rather than when it's too late as has too often happened already.
If this is a pocket attempt, then let me climb up on in there!
I kind've take issue with this list, at least with your "why" in mind.
Not just because I'm in it.
Probably.
Leo at least probably shouldn't be there. I feel like in games I've read of his he ends up putting a decent amount down to look through.
Bojack too. He had me convinced he was town in whoops all scum, but I don't really feel the reason to narrow in on him would have been low posting.
People always say LP and Blarg will out in time, I'm not entirely sure I believe that anymore but including them on the policy vote list seems a bit meh.
Zipped, sure, I've seen enough games where he's barely there. HP, sure (sorry dude). Me, eeeeh. You, sure.
Royal, well, not a clue there.
He might only have made a few posts but he seems self assured, asssertive. Not entirely sure how I feel about him flat out telling us what we're going to be doing yet, maybe that's just his style. Not entirely sure I agree with the approach of keeping in talking points despite suspicion versus voting out inactives because they're annoying to deal with, but "vote out the people not talking that you can't follow anywhere tomorrow" never has never seemed like a persuasive argument to me so that's not really surprising.
Neki seems to spend a good amount of time talking about how he plays and what we should do without actually following through on it… but I'm not convinced that's scum behind that. Not from just that, at least.
Neki which "low poster" would you vote out?

[pupils shaking]
its between jman and malus now for the low posters
scum!ephidel will try to gasp onto anything
if malus flips town, then this part should be looked at
scum!ephidel will try to gasp onto anything
I don't propose to vote them out right now. There's still plenty of time for people to show up, but if by EoD there's still nothing to work with it's at least worth a thought.
As in low posters you want to hear from or Low posters in general? I'm just curious why Malus is a top low poster to vote out, when it could easily be me, or LP, or Leo, or Royal?
Dude. Did you read the whole post of mine?
dude!
i'm not liking malus leaving jman out of his low posters and also the stuff atp said about him i agree with.
zipped i feel ok about given his response to me, he's never very self directed on d1, but he didn't stick to ONLY the questions i asked, so he's doing town meta things.
because having just DONE a game with cult, I would just be surprised if a cult shows up in ANY game from now on. That shit was hard. So next time a cult does show up I will be pleasantly (or more likely unpleasantly) surprised.
To be clear, I can look at the post counts and figure out who the low posters are. I am asking Neki who he feels is worth pursuing in that list, because he brought it up as an idea and I want to hear his reasoning.
Yeah but I'm still waiting on the receipts for all the things I obstructed
Why do we have to relitigate low posters vs high posters again. It's as tiring as Sneeks meta reads.
Games don't get played in the order they're designed, right? Ultimately the fact we just played a cult game doesn't mean there weren't others in the cooker along with them. I'm not saying this is going to be one or that we should be worrying about it but you having just run one doesn't take that set of tools out of the toolbox.

Getting a bit more serious now, something to dive into.
Why single out Zipped specifically? And why anex, LP, and Blarg specifically?
I was half joking but go on then. Who would you put into a town core right now and why?

Time to remove this joke vote.

I'll try to get some thoughts down, but I have a career thing in a little bit and some homework so it might take me a while

I was all ready to policy vote the cult suggestion but it's from Zipped and he does this regardless of alignment. So I'm just going to say that the game is too small to support a cult. Plus it gets weird when you're recruiting in a role madness game.
Honestly I had completely forgotten that Jman is in this game.
Makes sense to ask zipped about me. He and ATP ran last game, which was my first game. Probably has the most potential for insight of anyone in the game.
To gain more insight into the reasoning behind statements.
Hp seems okay to me so far, its when he starts sheeping someone else's reads and thoughts you need to watch out, tho there is still plenty of time for that
Zipped, because he requires direction on d1, he seldom has any of his own. I also gave a summary already of my thoughts on his response.
those 3 posters: somewhat random. One i don't know, one had posted little content on the game, one hadn't posted at all. I actually did want to hear zipped's thoughts.
Has nothing to do when the games were created. It has to do with the difficulty in creating a cult game was for me and that when @ATP and I were doing that it is recommended it be classified as Bastard.
While this game IS role madness, it is not bastard. I would be surprised if Fanto could create a game with a cult mechanic without delving into the bastard mafia territory.
I'm saying based on this game type I think its a different toolbox entirely than one that would have a cult in it.
though hats off to you Fanto if you were able to create a game with a cult mechanic and have it not be Bastard complexity. seriously I don't know how it could be done
