Yeah I think that's interpreting a bit too much into it. Glass room has probably something to do with interfering with actions or is something that has to do with the neutral I think.I still think that rooms will be more than just "red room", but we won't know for sure until we move.
But, seriously, what room in a house would have glass walls? A Conservatory? There's one of those in Clue.
I was at work. Had a bit of time to post this morning but was busy all afternoon. Working this evening too but should be able to post a bit.
Seems I haven't missed much beyond more mechanic speculation. Zipped you're causing some of this by moving all the time. Hilarious gambit, cut it out.
I doubt Zipped is scum with all the attention he's bringing to himself. The only way I could see it is if he's playing up to the attention for that "too scummy to be scum" vibe. In fairness I think he has done that before. I would consider him the emergency lynch, but not a good place to be voting right now
Nah. I agree with Splinters interpretation here, Zipped is more of an emergency lynch to me. It's not like D1 gives me much else but at this point I would put a vote down on a simple gut read of mine over Zipped. I've just seen this whole theater ending in lynched town too often. Of course this could change if I notice something else that makes him look scummy in combination with this whole moving votes thing.
Quick look at the votes on Zipped so far:
B-dubz - early vote. I have 0 thoughts on him, even though I think he's posted quite a bit.
Grizzly - early-ish vote. I've gone back and forth on Grizz a couple of times already. I currently have a light scum lean on him.
Stuart (unvoted) - butted heads with Grizz early on. He feels kinda confrontational to me, lean town.
Z-Beat - no idea. It's a late vote on Zipped which I'd consider bad, but makes more sense from a new player.
Bronson - I got a pretty early town lean on Bronson, I think its the carefree attitude. His vote felt a little unnatural though, like he'd been prompted to put one down.
Not super enlightening. The late votes are both from new players, which feels less suspicious. Bronson suddenly deciding to vote is the only thing to stick out to me from this lot.

I voted on Z-Beat mainly because I just had bad feelings about him, given that it's day 1 and there isn't much to go on. If there was a reason founded on evidence it's that he's made 28 posts (almost as many as zipped) but I can't see any stance he's taken, it's all just going back on forth on mechanics or fluff, this isn't a strong feeling, but it's the strongest I've got.
I'm not sure that I've made my reasons for town reading Saenima clear so I'll give every detail here, these may not be good, but right now they're the best I've got
Reasons for thinking he's town: I was previously wary of posts which just asked a bunch of questions to different players without giving any of their own thoughts (this was done by grizzly and Stuart from memory), I thought they were setting the tone and trying to become town leader without giving any real opinions, rather than just asking a question I thought Saenima was having similar thoughts and was trying to turn the tables on these kind of posts, forcing them to give the reads they wanted others to feed them.
Reasons for thinking that isn't a move new-scum would do: If stuart had replied (which I don't think he did, may be wrong) and then replied with his own questions a conversation would form and if he posted anything which felt scummy, Stuart being both a good player and the primary participant in the conversation, would likely be able to zone in on that slip and possibly get a lynch and I just don't think someone who is playing for the first time and is also scum would take that risk.
This is based on the assumption that Saenima is suffering from new-player anxiety (which unlike me, WhySoDevious and BronsonLee he hasn't mentioned) and also that Saenima and Stuart aren't both scum, which is completely possible, at which point this read falls apart completely.
As I said when I first mentioned it, this isn't a strong read, for the fact that it was on a single post and that it's based on Saenima worrying to the same degree as me.
Don't worry, he's on the case!
We have appx a day still. Day phases are 48 hours. After that, the power roles and scum team will have 24 hours to do their abilities.
That's fair, I'm just going off my limited history with noisy D1 players. Last time I thought it was just dicking around and it turned out to be scum.
If you want a good way to keep track of the time the vote tool has a clock built in, that's what I've been using (thanks Fireblend)
don't forget that all votes will take place at the last minute after 5 power roles have claimed unnecessarily
I don't know yet. I don't fancy a D1 Grizzly lynched from such a soft read. There's Bronson's awkward vote but he's posting frequently enough that I don't feel a rush to resolve him.
It'll probably be one of the lurkers. Muffin started posting but I don't think they've said anything of note yet. Just mentioned a neutral role for some reason.
Claiming on D1 would be so stupid, so I expect all power roles to do so
We've got plenty of time...
Gotta get back to work, so I'll be going dark for a few hours, see you all then. I'll try to follow the thread, expect a mega-multi-quote post if anything crazy goes down. I will most likely move my vote in that post too. I figured the inactivity on *Splinter was just timezone/work stuff, but it's always important to verify to be sure.

As long as there's entertaining rage in the spec thread it's all worth it in the end.
Muffin sticks out to me too, especially them saying "the neutral." But yeah, we got quite a few lurkers it seems.
This is good. I hadn't spotted it but I'll stick Saenima and Aeleus in the town pile for now.
Calling out the Zipped vote as lazy while having this vote? lol.
It's D1, we don't have much right now but calling others votes lazy when you have this vote feels like projection.
Didnt somebody else talk about glass room being possibly related to a neutral, at least I remember reading it and it making sense to me
Looks like I didn't miss out much - most of the last pages has been Zipped jumping about, and others making light commentary on it.
I'm keeping my vote on him - not due to the room voting (that seems like a lazy gambit as best, NAI), but due to the inconsistency/lie I mentioned earlier. Now that inconsistency wouldn't matter that much, but the way he doubled down on it makes me nervous.

While I'm missing butts, I'll also highlight this post:
I don't think I mentioned Kits before now. I don't know why but I got a bad feeling from her already. I'd have to reread to see if there's anything in it.
The reasoning is whatever, but the Grizz, Kits, and Hecht reads line up with my own, so Zipped gets minor town points for that.

I literally posted a great reason right there. Muffin was skating and had no active vote. That's scummy. A lot of the zipped votes have nothing to do with thinking he's scummy.
No active vote on long stretches of D1 isnt unusual at all, especially not with still over half a day to go
In contrast the Zipped votes seem a bit tryhard to me :)
1. Dubs voted Zipped and called out Zip's behaviour.
2. Zipped post right after 'self correcting' said behaviour.
3. I asked if Zipped posted said post due to Dubs' vote.
4. Zip said no, he said he saw another person voting him.
5. I told Zipped that nobody had voted him before.
6. Zipped said he thought someone had voted him, references that 'I thought Dubs voted me in previous post where he mentioned me'
7. I remind Zipped that Dubs never mentioned him before the vote.
It's small things, but it feels like Zipped kept doubling down on more little lies for some reason.
Just because it's normal for people to play poorly on D1 doesn't mean I'm going to excuse it. I may switch to other non-voters now that you're on Kalor, but I want to give this a little time first.
See, this is at least solid reasoning I can understand instead of just "Zipped acting like he has a move requirement although it's obvious he doesn't have it makes him scummy"
Oh yeah I forgot this. Grizz catching Zipped in a "lie":
You specifically refer to B-Dubs mentioning you, which didn't happen until he voted for you. That is the lie.[/QUOTE]
I'm not sure I follow, can you explain how he lied and, more importantly, why he did so?

They do, but as I mod I can see them too, so I don't recommend it.
Not committing to a vote early on D1 = Playing poorly, eh? Well, be my guest.
I wish. Unfortunately, Era doesn't support (as far as I know), constructing search query URLs to automatize the process of doing searches for users' posts in a specific thread (something like www.resetera.com/search?thread=xxx&user=yyyy). Instead the search UI requires explicit user interaction to set the search parameters which then generates a query ID that is hard to share. I've already tried to bring it up to the Era tech team as a request but they've not responded.
I've also considered literally storing every post in the thread and then displaying filtered results myself, but I'm not doing that without everyone's consent and it'd be ultimately hard to manage, plus I'd have to handle all of the rich-text formatting (like quotes and stuff) in a way that was readable and that's a ton of work. I could also store everyone's posts' links and then only load the posts' content from them, but it'd require having to make tons of requests given how much people post in these games and that doesn't fix the rich text formatting issue.
End of interruption.
I made a mistake and thought B-dubs not only talked about me before their vote, but also voted on me prior to that. I was wrong. but liars get lynched.
Its a fine strategy for Day 1, I just think there are other things to deal with.
move: purple room
I'm not sure I follow, can you explain how he lied and, more importantly, why he did so?[/QUOTE]
Zipped said "B-dubs mentioned me in an earlier post before he voted me" which didn't happen. That is a contradiction at least.
As for why he said a lie, I'm not sure. Without context it's a very small thing, but it was part of a larger conversation I was having with him, where it seemed like he kept doubling down on his original point ("I am not reactionary scum"). Why keep doubling down? Not sure. But it's D1 and everything is kinda weak at this point.
Cool, I shoulda figured you guys would have considered that already! Thanks for your help as always.
While again I'm not gonna assume that Zipped is Town, I don't really think Grizz's inquisition of Zipped is "solid." It seems like someone just trying to latch on to something really minor on D1 in order to "gotcha" Zipped (especially when Zipped has plenty of other dumb things he's been doing today).
Grizz is a little suspect to me.
