and DH, i'm so glad you announced my win, it was a real treat hearing your voice. and thanks for the banner, LC!

As the spirit award winner, I think we are supposed to thank you.

Sup I’m here and don’t really know what’s been going on.

My player slot missed the first two votes.

sabie’s “welcome to the gamd unless you’re bad” greeting felt a little forced. Anyone got things to sY about her?

Who’s bad?

[VOTE: reywas] aubergine

I barely know why and i’m probably not gonna be here for the deadline. MVP performance right here.

Who's supposed to get lynched this time?

[VOTE: speedchuck] aubergine

Probability said so.

I think it was... DDL? I'm down, I think. Will have to go over it.

Also ayyyy I'm a nominee! Though it's "Best Mafioso," not "got tons of mafia wins that year by virtue of having good teammates." Can't wait to see the reveal, cbob!

Deferring to common consnsus rather than positing his own reads. Whack.

If I ever actually get lynched because "always bad" I'm gonna flip.

Flip what? Flip bad? Yeah, seems likely.

I’m speechless.

[VOTE: kylemii] aubergine

He’s too cool and his coolness is freezing both the outside world and the progress of this thread.

speedchuck wrote: ↑Wed Feb 06, 2019 6:01 pm This DDL lynch seems as 'easy' as every other lynch that's happened up till now. Sloonei's like, the only one trying to start up discussion and it's falling flat. Makes me nervous, like the flow of the thread is just gonna bury DDL and people are sitting back and letting it.

I’m like barely trying, and it’s only because I don’t know what’s going on.

[VOTE: reywas] aubergine again, I guess.

I took a glance at all the ISOs earlier and I came away feeling okay about DDL. He’s seemed to be actively making things happen this game. I’d expect scum to be playing more reactionary right now given the generally poor state of things for the Good Guys. Let us continue to lynch ourselves, and just give gentle nudges to keep us on the right (wrong) track. SVS is a player I could accuse of that, but I’m not so sure i want to vote for her. DDL is not. reywas feels like he’d fall into that criteria, but I mainly jus thave a vague gut feeling about him based on a snippets of things I’ve read.

I told you guys not to vote for reywas

I don't know, the same way you seemed to know he was town before the lynch.

Yes, a bit. But mostly just bantering because it's fun

Alright cool because it never happened. I voted for reywas and my original response was a joke.

nutella wrote: ↑Thu Feb 07, 2019 9:15 pm Or speed tbh I really think he has some bad looks.

Like what?

I was mildly pinged by luna admitting to suspecting me for a thing that literally never happened last night. But it could have been completely inconsequential.

What’s the abridged version of the DDL case?

Is there a reason I should town read SVS?

RIP Kyle.

We gotta take charge y'all we are getting stomped. I say we should try for ddl again.

That's a bad plan tbh.

Give us a better one

It’s not up to me to tell you guys how to read me in a game that i joined late and am operating at like 10% of a maximum effort. My posts are my posts. If you think they come from a civilian, that’s nice. If not, that’s too bad. There’s no magic rabbit for me to pull out of my hat.

I expected some sort of strong response on at least one of the questions I’ve asked, but all I’ve got back is a bunch of shrugs. I don’t have the time to do any thorough digging myself, but I’m trying to move things forward in a more facilitatory role.

The reads I shared in my reywas vote are the closest I can come to substantive opinions on things. DDL seems the closest thing to a consensus scum read and I don’t see a glowing civilian when I look at him, so I might just default to him. I’ve had an uneasy feeling about SVS for a couple days too. The exchange I had with luna was enough to make me doubt her a little, but not enough to lock her down as scum.

I’ve boldly and perhaps foolishly slapped a town read on nutella again. I look forward to her response to speedchuck’s big ole case there.

Since it doesn't look like we're getting a response...

Is this vote representative of your input on my 'either/or' DDL/Nutella thing, or is it just a vote?

I suppose it can be taken as both. I await nutella’s response, but in the meantime I would prefer DDL as a suspect.

I’d also like to note that the only two votes prior to mine were from sabie and luna, both of them on you.

I only bring it up so as to not overlook the possibility of a coordinated push against you. RE: the votes on speedchuck

Why blame luna more than g-man or anyone else for that matter? If anything I think Luna looks bad for pushing speed and then going back to ddl, so I think she and ddl are potential teamies. Do you think ddl is town?

I don't blame luna. I just think she's a shady looking person that's not DDL.

The big push against DDL in general has me second guessing the suspicion against him. Luna is an alternative.

We are possibly in MYLO, maybe LYLO, and have been drifting aimlessly for days. It won't take much to push this game to conclusion for the scum team.

A name is floated and agreed upon. Suddenly, 6 votes pile on that player without much critical discussion. There probably are not 6 civilians left in the game, and yet 6 of us are in silent agreement that DDL is the best lynch. Nah. That's a lynch the baddies are on board with. We need to find a new name.

I believe speedchuck did the "big ass pushing" with his post of DDL quotes. I simply saw a good case and joined it.

I should have separated the thought from the vote. I do not criticize you for making a big push on DDL.

A big push happened against DDL. Everybody voted for him at once. I do not like that. I slid down the list to another suspect. That other suspect is you. I remain open to discussion of other names.

Actually, literally everyone else here is an alternative.

This is true. You gonna make a point?
