Megaman X and Megaman Legends are best Megamans anyway.

I take this back. I misread this as "legends collection." It was a pretend read anyway.

Dom, are you playing the mobile FF Digia Opera Whatever game?

I added some guy named Dom and someone else named [mention]insertnamehere[/mention] as friends cause it's a freemium game and you need "friends" for those and also cause I secretly hoped they were really you guys.

the best megaman game is actually Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow

Aka Super Metroid.

You and LC do realize the setup is posted on the first page, right?

Wily is mafia and he recruits some players into his mafia.

Not sure what happens if he tries to recruit Light or Megaman.

Scumread.
Jack threw a scumread on me for a post I made before I had an alignment. I assume he did the same for others.

This gives me a townread on Jack.
Jack isn't the recruiter. I'll say that. I don't know about the rest of it since he may not have had an alignment at the time himself.
We were well into Day 1 when he started throwing these posts around. He had an alignment.
Take it back then. I assumed it happened during Day 0. What do you mean by not having an alignment during Day 1 then?
I said nothing about not having an alignment Day 1.

Jack, on Day 1, gave me a scumread based on a post I made on Day 0.
Okay. I get you now. Do you think it was just townie ignorance then?

Maybe it had nothing to do with Sloonei’s post.

Hottakes: Nutella (in spite of SC vote) and Mac are town.

Eeeeeeeeh. This post comes from a townie but I disagree with you in principle and execution.

Like stop angleshooting everybody. At least the “how do you know your alignment” one was burned on Mac, who is town anyway for other reasons.

So how many bad robots are there?

Fair enough, I suppose Light recruiting is mentioned in the quote I posted. In context though it's not really relevant to the argument I was trying to make. Do you not think it's likely that any baddies would pretend not to understand the mechanics of the game as a means of trying to avoid suspicion?

“Derpclear”

Townlean on Kness. He’s saying things I expect town Kness to say.

Pro tip if you’re going to use a notepad. Take a selfie with the notepad to prove you are really using it. Based on past experiences, this leads to victory 100% of the time.

i will say why this post made me cringe and sloob can talk about it.

fake suspicion is fine. it’s a means to an end. i pretend to suspect Mac in half the days 1 we play in, because his handling of that informs my read. it creates a baseline.

i don’t quite get the impression here that you’re working to inform your LC read here sloobei doobie doo. instead it looks more like you wanted to appear as a content-facilitator and had to step right off the gas when it got hot. i wouldn’t expect civilian sloob to make this post

This is basically my thoughts on the matter.

I mean, I was gonna just go “faaaaake” but this is better.

What kinds of things does town K-Ness say?

It’s really more about coming across as dipping a toe in the water vs coming across as scared to even do that. He doesn’t seem overwhelmed like he’s not worried about being caught.

I think he’d be a little more chipper if he randed Megaman btw.

I will say this for Sloonei. I initially had a scumread on him cause he’s an obvious recruit like Jay but it doesn’t seem players but rather roles are recruited so scratch that.

His D0/D1 Jack this shouldn’t cause him to be suspect. It’s very simple. On D1, I quoted one of Sloonei’s D0 posts. Wily/Light/X/PM aside, Sloonei has no alignment in the post I quoted but I had an alignment when I quoted it. Don’t get why...Nutella and Mac? had a problem with it.

I’d maybe still lynch Sloonei today. I dislike his handling of LC. I think Eloh’s inconsistent Jay read is more likely to net a baddie though.

Change vote Eloh

Haha

Honestly, I just like lynching Epi and his family.

[VOTE: Lunalee] aubergine
Why her?
Don't like her defence of speedchuck.
What don't you like about it? And what do you think of speedchuck?
She called a speedchuck lynch on day 1 lazy (as though he, over anyone else, deserves to live longer than Day 1) and gave me some crap about how she didn't want him to be lynched because of the 'speedchuck is always bad' rhetoric. Nobody has brought up the speedchuck is always bad rhetoric.

She wants to save speedchuck for disingenuous reasons. Not sure if buddying or w/w, but she's bad.
I can think of at least one reason why lunalee would be emotionally compeled to defend speedchuck and it has nothing to do with this game.
Is it because they're smushing booties?

I doubt Sloonei will be lynched today. There's no way this stays as-is for the next 19 hours.
This post looks a bit different than it did in my memory, but I still want to investigate it. I don't object to LC progressing down his list of reads to arrive at me. His ambivalence towards the pre-existing votes on me doesn't need to be a concern, but I can pick out a little bit of unease there. There is a hint of concern for the optics of the vote, or at least putting his suspect in danger of being lynched. I understand as much as anyone the concern with not wanting to overwhelm the poll in one particular direction too early, but that little note of hesitation before parking his vote on his top suspect gives me cause to question his mindset.

The second paragraph is the part that I recalled as a concern. "I doubt Sloonei will be lynched today." In my memory I conflated that as "I'd prefer not to be lynched today", which I'm not seeing as clearly anymore, though I can still detect a bit of that mindset. By downplaying the likelihood that I'm going to be lynched, he is in a sense nullifying this vote: I doubt Sloonei will be lynched today, therefore this vote doesn't matter. Combined with the step of hesitation before announcing the vote, I can read this whole thing, again, as scum carefully testing the scales to see if he can get it to tip one way, while also parking a safe vote on a player who's already widely-suspected.

This is all deep speculation and not a theory that I want to run with right now (look at me, carefully testing the scales), but when I look at LC's vote I have these lingering doubts and I figure I'm better off expressing them now, if for no other reason than to make my thoughts known. I still have him as a town read.

I agree with the underlined and it is the post that is preventing me from townreading LC.
