I was not part of the problem lol. But yes, lets.

You were obvious on that last day. I would have been going after you then. I always had you could be bad in the back of my mind, nothing ever cleared you, but i was hoping you were bad because I was pretty confident it would get you into the finals if you were.

He played that so masterfully. Wasn't he responsible for getting the town PRs to claim?

If he doesn't advance I'll be pissed. This should be clear cut. Sloonei and Augustus.

Yeah, he will advance. Awesome.

I'm beginning to wonder if Sloonei is bad after all...

In hindsight, they played that very well. I think they had a very good idea FCD was going to be the vig target.

One thing I never admitted to in my game - I called out someone as a vig target not because I thought they were, but because I thought that if they were, they'd vig me next. And while that might have been fine a day before, at that moment in time I felt like the town needed me and we'd be better off if the vig was blocked than having the vig take me out.

The vig is a dangeous role in the wrong hands.

Xardob gotta be bad. Augustus has just pulled out that post with all the logic leaps.

Sloonei is trying hard, but I fear Augustus and madchemist will get the credit because they are being more consistently townread and sloonei is the tinfoil target.

Or, sloonei is actually bad, which would be an awesome twist.

When they mislynched Maclom, Sloonei was on Agent.

Generally agreed, Golden. I think Sloonei needs to find a way to stand out in the crowd. I was in a similar position in my qualifier last year, and I think I won people over with my typical scum interaction ISOs (I was fortunate enough to arrive at sound reads). If he can shove a lot of good content into the thread, even if he ends up where he already was, I think that would benefit him. It depends on how much time he has of course.

It really does. I managed to turn around my game on day 2 by doing my best JJJ impression.

Xardob also looks terrible for that post about why the town is going to lose, which had logic leaps all over the show.

I've gone back to maybe Jack being ok, and the baddies being FCD, Xardob, Agent.

This game reminds me a lot of my own, it bears some striking similarities. Still, I'm worried that sloonei won't get the credit he deserves because, unlike me, he is part of a sea of fish swimming in the same direction and doesn't need to convince anyone. I hope people realise that, especially if FCD is bad, he pretty much called the baddie team out on day one.

Jackofhearts reads really scummy to me. Sloonei is still sitting in a pack of people who could get voted through but at least he should be surviving a couple more days yet.

7v7 killed Frog! It's awesome!

Well...

Sloonei didn't lynch Malcolm. He went in a different direction.

If he is good he could be in NK danger tonight. I think his push on Agent was wise.

It's still possible he's bad though, and if so he is equally playing a great game.

I'd lynch this guy based on this post alone.

Yes. It's the exact same move Phighter pulled 'lynch mango and then you'll see golden is wrong about me'. Identical.

I'm feeling pretty ok about sloon's chances of making the final right now. It's still an upward climb but I feel like he is town and town could win this if they are smart.

JaggedJimmyJay wrote:Yikes. Whichever one of those Night 1 kills was of town vigilante origin was really bad. And that confirms for me that Sloonei is not the vig, because there's no way in hell he does that.

I bet the vig kill was Frog. But, yeah, it's a bit like my game in that way. After day one I realised I couldn't trust the vig. Glad to see Sloonei is alive. No-one remembers the day one guy.

I expect if the final has a town vig they will be more.... discerning. The heats are such a mixed bag.

Also... Augustus had the same derp that one of the townies had in my game, about not understanding what a strongman does... inclined to think it is a genuine derp.

JaggedJimmyJay wrote:Town read on Sloonei. He's playing loose and he's getting in people's faces in a manner that bears a chance of real productivity. He's generating interactions and making noise, and at a pace that I think gives him a good chance of long-term survival if sustained. That alone is often important for being voted onward, since nobody remembers the Day 1 loudmouth who got lynched/killed immediately (the wild card judges might remember).

Yes, indeed. I hope Sloonei doesn't end up like Zexy, who I think deserved a lot more credit in voting but got nked day two. If Sloonei keeps this pace and is town there is a real shot at him being perceived as a town leader if he survives until at least day 3.

Hey, should we turn this into game 6 spectator chat?

Nice start from Sloonei, I like it. I read him as town (I always do ) but I like his start even if he is a baddie.

I was good! Really!

Thanks for all the support guys!
