Aaaaaaannnd D1 lynch successfully found.

I like your spark kid but good luck lol

Drago, sloonei, sig all town. Dyslexicon and creature bad. Quin who knows.

Oh and the raspberry vinaigrette would be great with that, thanks.

Hmm methinks mister spicy boi here might be the obvious scum he wants to see in the world

I'm on the same bus. She a bad girl.

Hey buzz off. I'm seriously too occupied with real life to deal with being suspected for no reason. Kindly direct your bullshit elsewhere.

lol yeah basically my reaction

[VOTE: rej] aubergine

(disclaimer: I am not caught up past that post, I've just had the most goddamn stressful evening ever and I won't be done freaking out until Sunday when moving is ideally all done but will try to keep up on the thread to the best of my ability)

Sloonei wrote: ↑Thu Jul 25, 2019 10:31 pm I do not agree with Owner’s grievance against Tony, but I think she looks very town because of it.

My thoughts exactly

caught up for now. right now I heavily suspect Rej and about 50/50 on whether timmer is his teammate or a townie that he tried to buddy with that awkward post.

I'm on board the dizzy is 3p train

........LC thinks Epi is on fire. Like in a good way.

Man, this Mercury retrograde really hit hard, huh.

ha ha
you haven't shared a single thought all game. just posted about how you're not around and made snarky jokes.
what gives?

bullshit I have posted several thoughts. how about you actually read my posts and try again

Owner of a Lonely Heart wrote: ↑Sat Jul 27, 2019 10:28 am *is confused how Dragomir has 3 votes*

wait yeah what? I think he's been one of the more townie voices so far but apparently some people disagree

hmm let's look at dom's iso and my iso and compare the volume of reads!

dom: 29 posts, many of which are just jokey banter and several more of which consist more of his particular brand of snarky prodding (usually exaggerating an insinuation about a player's behavior to an undeserved extent, such as the one I am debunking right now about my content).
Reads of players contained therein:
1. Suspects sig for appealing to meta
2. Doesn't like nova/creature exchange, doesn't like nova in general, votes nova.
3. Doesn't like the rej/timmer exchange, doesn't like rej in general, votes rej.
4. Not sure this counts as a read but repeated prodding of sloonei for dodging a question or something I don't follow, it's classic dom blowing up a molehill
5. Couple other things that don't really count as reads. Doesn't like timmer "downplaying his prowess," criticizes both LC and me for not producing enough content.

So that's somewhere between 4 and 7 reads on players. I don't know what Dom thinks about many other players. There are a lot that he straight up never mentioned. I'm sure the same is true for me, but I don't think he gets to be on his high horse about this.

Now me: 14 posts, a handful of which are either jokes or mentioning I'm busy.
1. "Drago, sig, sloonei all town. Dyslexicon and creature bad. Quin who knows." That's five and a half actual reads on player alignments right off the bat. In a single post I have reached read parity with Dom.
2. Called out nova for being spicy. Tbf still not sure how I feel about him so maybe that's another half read.
3. Hated rej's content and voted for him. Wasn't sure about timmer's position in the situation.
4. Think Owner is town.
5. Said dizzy could be 3p.

That's like... eight or nine reads.

Basically Dom is full of shit. I know that his way of calling people out for little things is consistent with his town meta, but when I actually break it down and compare it to the rest of his content, I'm not impressed. He's using his nudges to push people into the spotlight to draw attention away from his own hypocrisy.

timmer wrote: ↑Sat Jul 27, 2019 11:56 am I'd actively like to hear from mr. Dragomir...

I wanted rej to open up a bit about the game, because we've all blindered ourselves as civs at least once, and I thought posts about others might give us a better picture.

Well here he says dragomir should be able to read his meta and know that this is a civ rej move... So, id like to hear about this from dragomir, who sure went quiet after it seemed like this Lynch was a done deal.

The flip side to this? Rej finding only something to say about someone who is voting him is s bit self serving and calculated, so I'm definitely not moving my vote at this time.

Hmmmm this is pretty insightful. I'll have to look into drago/rej interactions and maybe I'll understand more why people suspect drago.

Rej wrote: ↑Sat Jul 27, 2019 12:49 pm Nutella played basically like this:
-fluffing from the sidelines (early posts)
-lunching me, also commenting from the sidelines
-doing a pseudo iso on Dom and some gth
-commenting from the sidelines

I heard nutella can perform far more impressive, I don't know her meta, but did she bring forward the DP somehow?
I don't mind voting between Drago and Nutella right now.

Not sure what you mean bring forward the dp, but I am considering the other side after your recent posts. I won't have time to look much into Drago before the deadline, but based on how the discussion goes I could be convinced to vote him over you.

Dyslexicon wrote: ↑Sat Jul 27, 2019 12:53 pm @nutella Why do you have a read on me before I started to play the game though? I've posted plenty now. Kind of meh about you defending "I'm having reads" when you're just throwing out stuff without basis like your read on me.

That's how I play. I have at different points in the game read you as mafia, indie, and town. Just because my reads can change based on later content doesn't mean they aren't real reads at the time I post them.

Are you just convinced by my posts or do you have an own opinion on the drago case? I don't see myself as overly good scumhunter, but I just feel like pointing out some things and getting some things pointed out.

Bringing forward the DP = contributing and concluding. For your case the only noteable I have seen was an ISO case on Dom for example.

Mostly starting to be convinced by your posts, but I also liked rimmer's point about drago's relative lack of comment on your lynch train (which I still need to verify for myself)

timmer wrote: ↑Sat Jul 27, 2019 1:10 pm This: "does it mean that this are mostly civillians jumping over to look and make right decisions or could it be baddies who approach to save someone?"

This: "On the other side I don't know if mafia profits from mislynching Dragomir, when Dragomir approaches me or other people agressively. "

This: "I heard nutella can perform far more impressive"

The first two statements have a real calculation behind them. I don't think a civ would care this much about trying to define the makeup of a Lynch train. It's day 1. Stuff happens and we vote. But why worry about how a mislynch would look? A civ shouldn't care how a Lynch would look to baddies at all, and a civ seems less likely to use the term mislynch here because a civ rej doesn't know what drag is.

The third statement makes me wonder about btsc.


So I'm staying put.

Aaand now this is making me feel better about staying on rej.

Yep. You should be able to set your timezone on the forum

Lol, rimmer

Rej wrote: ↑Sat Jul 27, 2019 1:59 pm If the wagons will be frozen like this, then I have no other option than switching over to Creature and trust the senses of those voting for him.

I'm down for this. I find myself agreeing more and more with dizzy that you make more sense as town here, and I suspected creature early. Let's try it. [VOTE: creature] aubergine

RIP dizzy, and guess I can't read sig for shit. I like owner's "cluster" theory and think Mac is town; would be willing to lynch epi for sure.

Epignosis wrote: ↑Mon Jul 29, 2019 12:20 am I am proposing a Lunalee / Creature / Michelle team.

I got that, and I dig it.

You guys can dislike my fickle agreements with things all you want but they are sincere. I liked owner's thoughts on epi, and now I like epi's case on Luna/creature/Michelle even more (I already suspected creature and I have not felt good about any of Luna's posts). I'm not convinced epi is town from it, I'm still not totally clear on how many factions are at play but even if he is really hunting scum he's not necessarily town. However, I have been imagining him as being on sig's team, so is there another team such that that could be true as well as his proposed suspects? I really need to actually read the setup lol.

......hello-o-ooo??!?? kinda expected to have more to read here lol

Cool cool cool so Jack is bad. Good to know

.....oh yeah who is that and what happened to them lol

If she's telling the truth, I have to believe four different things that are independently very hard to believe.

And yet she used four of them.

Used four of what?

I find it hard to believe that someone would come up with four hard to believe excuses as a defence for their vote as scum. It's too much. Also it was three.

I didn't say she had four hard-to-believe excuses.

I said there were four different things I would have to believe in order for me to believe she is innocent. All four of those things would have to be true for her to be a civilian.

And those things are?

You also are making me work.

1) That she confused Creature for Rej
2) That she voted at the last minute despite it being an inopportune time
3) That she innocently voted for a civilian when the person she said she said she suspected was up for lynch
4) That she felt the need to vote at all despite being uninformed (as she claimed).

That's a lot to buy.

This is a good summary. [VOTE: luna] aubergine

no one:
me: huh im just here to catch up from when I wasn't here, surprised other players haven't posted more
dom: uhm sweaty guess u should have posted more while you weren't here so you could at least catch up on your own posts :-))))
epi: haha yeah u so rite
dom: rite??? she must be bad lmao
me: stares into the camera like on the office

I’m voting for Dom to put attention on this exchange. I feel like something is happening here but I don’t know what it is. But it’s visible to me and I want to make sure it’s visible to other people too. I won’t be here to do other things the rest of the day. Sorry.

um, looks like a lot of nothing to me.

That's the problem though. Dom is only commenting on things that are a whole lot of nothing

timmer wrote: ↑Tue Jul 30, 2019 11:17 am I'm here, doing a read back. Started with Luna as she has votes and seems crucial to judge.

So it seems like the crux of the case on her is that ok day 1 she basically said eww don't like this creature post and also supported rej a bit but then came in at the last minute and quietly voted rej which essentially lynched him?

If she had more posts on day 1 I would agree that this looks bad, but we are talking about a single mention of creature and a single mention of rej so I'm not sure I am on board.

I appreciate this perspective and I think it sounds sincere. Not sure if I agree yet but I'm certainly not 100% confident about Luna.

Mmm I actually agree with Nova that sloonei looks more like a potential sig teammate than Drago, and the sloonei post owner quoted wasn't great.

[VOTE: sloonei] aubergine if there's some chance there, otherwise I think creature or luna would both be fine choices over drago.

Jackofhearts2005 wrote: ↑Tue Jul 30, 2019 2:54 pm I don’t want to lynch Sloonei off the top of my head because he’s a useful townie.

I don’t want to lynch Creature cause he’s mislynch bait on this site.

I don’t have real reads on them but whatever.

#content

Oh so actually you have tmi on one or both of them k

......that's not even a case

it's literally just a summary of my posts there is no thesis

screw it back to [VOTE: creature] aubergine

Oh lol I should have voted Luna again
