Also - is it normal for Scotty to gloss over accusations as scum or civ? because he focused on my post about how people were treating Simon but not the one about why he chose Simon over Epi

They are both civs: and Epi is not as good at reading his son as he thinks he is. Can happen.

Only Simon is mafia: and Epi is right in his read. Can happen too.

Only Epi is mafia: eh... no. Like FZ pointed out, I can't see someone doing that with their own child. Maybe later in the game, but not on day 1. There is a line to be drawn on competitiveness.

They are both mafia: unlike the later, this one can be possible, because Simon actually benefits from it in a way, so it's not exactly a betrayal if they talk about it. My problem with it is that, unlike in Guess Who (where Epi was only arguing with me on day 1, and only make a strong push for a lynch after Roxy and G-Man did), in this game Epi can be easily pointed out as the main responsible for Simon getting any suspicion at all. He is even bringing RL evidence to support the case, showing how he is really determined to get Simon lynched, something a smart mafia player would actually avoid. This is looking less likely imo.

Either way, it depends on whether Epi can trust his own read on Simon or not. I dunno.

Epi, what made it weak in your book?

Too easy and too soon, we need more meat.

How hard and how far out would you prefer it to be?

You miss the point. Lynching either will give us no connections and nothing to go on. Day 2 and Day 3 will be as aimless as Day 1.

That's certainly a possibility (and one that I too had considered) but realistically, it could be nothing less than group inertia based on there being no remotely clear choice...

I don't like this, nor do I like your vote, but I think you are civ.

Back onto Sorsha

I like your offer Simon, but I feel that keeping Sig alive (for now) would be for the best. What do you think of Sorsha?

I might change my vote to someone else, zebra and Scotty both jumped on Epi's sig suspicion quickly and then changed votes when it got some push back. I might vote for one of them.

And Epi- No, I don't know if sig is civ... or Simon either. This is based purely on you making an accusation based on sig saying he wouldn't vote for Simon because Simon laughed at something sig said. Really? That makes them teammates? And then saying his reaction was over defensive. I didn't think it was overly defensive at all.

You...bewilder me with your conclusions.

If sig can dig his own grave, I don't need to do anything.

Except throw out a lame accusation and let him get to work

"Lame accusation"...what have you done today besides react to my lame accusation?
