DAY ZERO!

Roles are out, and most people have received them.

Day zero has begun, and will end in 24 hours (Wednesday, April 10th, at 7 PM EST)!

Our story begins with a group of Vault Hunters...

So...this shit is basically Dune meets Mad Max?

I'd recommend against claiming and make the bitches grind out their win.

I guess fuck me I'm old.

Are there times even before the Epignosis?

About a week in December of 2013. It was a golden age.

yeah, I would recommend no role claims by anyone ever. That soup thing could get messy quick.

It won't. I've made sure of it.

novaselinenever wrote: ↑Tue Apr 09, 2019 11:13 pm I also raised the cons of such a strategy and I don't think it's viable with janitored night kills and narrowing the soup kill for them witches.

Why do you keep bringing this up? It's a shitty idea for reasons you acknowledge.

Is this like an old person reference?

Nah, it's just a sportsball reference.

Baseball, yeah. Cost me money.

I suspect juliets. She looks like she did when I hosted her in Addams Family.

How's that?

She looks nervous. She's uncomfortable when bad. Her entrance here looks like more of that.

I find myself unimpressed by Luna and Nutella so far. What do you think about Epi's thoughts on you?
I don't know what he means. I look the same at the beginning of every game. He seems to be trying to get people to believe he has some kind of inside knowledge. Maybe he would like to share specifics. I won't tag him because it messes up his browser and he says he reads every post so he'll see this one.

What kind of inside knowledge was I trying to get people to believe I had about you? I have no inside knowledge. I got a role and that is all.

I have a hard non-witchery stance on Spacedaisy.

Lunalee wrote: ↑Thu Apr 11, 2019 4:08 pm My "caught-up" opinions on everyone:

Spacedaisy - despite the "weird vibe" popular opinion on spacedaisy, I actually think she looks town. mechanics posts can be town, and I like that she wrote all that out while learning the roles (I will read it eventually, promise).

How can you opine that Spacedaisy is a civilian on the basis of people's reactions to a massive post that you haven't even read?

Lunalee wrote: ↑Thu Apr 11, 2019 4:08 pm
Epignosis - lazy poster, and currently suspects juliets because she "looks like she did in Addams family mafia when she was scum"

I am far, far, far, far from a lazy poster. That adjective cannot possibly apply to someone who is so busy he is unable to post.

Some writers put quotes around words they want to distance themselves from. Quotation marks used this way are commonly called scare quotes or shudder quotes. It’s a way of implying that you’re using a term in an unusual way or that you don’t necessarily approve of it:

Example: This article was written by a “professional” writer.

This post was written by a "witch."

Ok, then tell us what I did in the beginning of that game that looks like the beginning of this game. It looked to me like you were saying you saw things while hosting me that others (players, spectators) didn't see. Otherwise why not just say "In Julie's last game"? But like I told nova maybe I just was focused too hard on the fact you said you hosted me, so just give some specific examples of what you saw there that you are saying you see here.

I thought you meant that I had "information," (i.e., some mechanical-based host-given knowledge about you).

I gave my impression at the time. I'm not going to go through and dig up specific examples about things.

You're posting a great deal, and I have no interest in lynching a heavy participant Day 1 without a compelling reason. You giving me a similar sense to your performance in your last game is far from a compelling reason.

If we need seven votes to kill somebody, I recommend that we take time now to create a default lynch, one that, if nothing better arises, that's where we go to ensure bloodshed occurs.

I'm not wild about a MacDougall lynch. He was not active in Addams and didn't even submit Night actions. I feel like lynching him now would be a lazy move.

Of course, knowing that bastard, he's being useless now on purpose.

I have a lean toward lynching nutella.

Yes, I know she's turning Japanese. She has four posts, and yet:

nutella wrote: ↑Wed Apr 10, 2019 8:41 pm ok I've decided I like nova, he's clearly putting in what looks to me like a genuine effort. I think I like daisy and juliets for now but less sure. Don't get great vibes from Luna, and I expect more from Epi so I could vote for one of those two. Are votes changeable?

She expects more from me? She has to know by now that most of these pages are blocked at my work.

Please.

Oh, and goody.

The poll close time is exactly first pitch tonight.

Epi maybe its because you didn't post yesterday.

As much experience as she has playing with me, she ought to know better, and I still had five times the number of posts she did. Doesn't sound like a genuine thought to me: When has she ever encountered a bad Epignosis who wasn't willing to post if able? It doesn't ring true.

Mac had as many posts as nutella currently has. Why pick on me? Wouldn't she be expecting more from him?

Let me back up though: I'm not arguing whom we should lynch, only whom we should lynch if no one else makes more sense between now and first pitch.

Let's try to take the next 30 minutes and come up with that name, and then return to figuring out whom we should lynch.

And to be clear, I don't lynch newcomers on the first Day of their first rodeo.

I don't think your annoyance at nutella for calling you out is grounds enough to lynch her.

My annoyance makes the world keep spinning.

I wanted to hate sprityo's posts, but I don't.

No. Day 1gth is dumb.

I agree, and I have everybody's vacation money riding on the Red Sox, plus I have to cook.

I'm kidding about one of those three statements.

nutella is my default lynch choice.

I'm voting there now. I expect I will change my vote between now and first pitch.

I also voted earlier to give SpaceDaisy the Ass' Ass.

My options are nova nutella Lunalee juliets nova

Player taco.

Or was it a sandwich?

nova's the shell. I don't suspect the shell.

Neverwhere wrote: ↑Thu Apr 11, 2019 6:23 pm Damn, I wrote a post and went back to look and it got deleted.

Okay, I feel alright about Daisy and juliets for the moment. They seem genuine to me.

Nova and Luna pinged me this morning just because of their back and forth about game mechanics, but I don't really feel confident in game mechanics yet, so I'm not sure what to make of that.

Not sure how I feel about Epi. I get he's busy, but he seems defensive.

I'm not sure I understand the Nutella suggestion? Willing to give t hem and the monkeys the benefit of the doubt.

Unsure of Mac.

I'd go with Luna, Mac, Epi as my three.

Outside of nutella's one comment about me, I've had nothing to defend against. I fail to see how I can be defensive.

Multiple posts about how busy you are, I think there was one post where you said you weren't going to go back and dig out specific posts to serve as a examples or something.

I made one post about how busy I was. There was indeed one post about how I wasn't going to go back and dig through posts.

Telling the truth is not defensive, nor is being defensive an indicator of witchery.

Hardly "F-ing it," given the context.

Voting MacDougall.

"You have tried to vote for too many options."

Witchery.

My vote for Spacedaisy for the Ass's Ass was taken away.

novaselinenever wrote: ↑Thu Apr 11, 2019 7:07 pm If Epi isn't selfish, we can get 7 on both without needing a self-vote.

What does this mean? Who's being selfish? I'm doing three things at once here.

I voted Mac to die and SpaceDaisy for the Butt prize.

I'm sorry if my contributions weren't good enough.

I am Mordefaied.
