I tend to give Epi some leeway for bs cases, head butting and general grumpiness/laziness but I expect something to come of it eventually.

I like Jimmy's rainbow (save Juliets, who I’m not sure why people are voting for) and the Epi case but I can’t shake a bad feeling about him. Driving me up the wall over here. Waiting for the shoe to drop. Just not sure what kinda shoe it is.

This post is horrendous Jack.

That was probably confusing wording.

I meant “give me something to look into” or “give me a case to follow” not “I will blindly follow orders.”

I’m still uninspired. Somebody point me in a direction.

Well, if Epi is bad, you could have come back at any moment.

I don’t remember any INH posts. Not a one.

Epi is the silencer and was misdirected.

Actually that's not where my head was at, but I like it.

This is the most obvious fake effort post I have ever seen. None of the points you have raised are logical. It's a huge colourful monstrosity that is designed to make you seem like you are contributing. Your last point is just total speculation for instance.

[VOTE: DDL] aubergine

It is total speculation. I didn't do this because I wanted to make a point. I did it to produce data, then analyse whether I could gather anything from that data (not much, I admit). I thought it was a good use of my time since I'm not sure who I want to lynch anymore.

Besides, Sprityo asked for it, and a lot of people said they wanted it implemented in the forum, so I'm not the only one who could use it? And it can be revisited once we get a scum flip and become much more useful.

So it’s Sprityo’s fault is it?

When your team has a mafia silencer, at what point is it optimal to silence one of your own?

Knowing that silenced persons are almost never lynched here, what do you do?

Man, silenced players always get suspicion here. I agree it can be used defensively but it’s a one day trick only.

So....”when you expect them to be lynched.”

I already gave my reasons why I think Jay is a civ (which should be taken with ten grains of salt) but the others are a big question mark in my imaginary rainbow.

Do you usually decide who to vote for based on emotionless arbitrary calculations with no actual evidence to suggest that the hypothesis is alignment indicative or are you just doing it here because you have no suspects?

I like it.

PW and Avito seem to be the most suspected players but I’m not sure why on PW.

I go back and forth on JJJ.

I’m pretty open to being convinced at this point.

The further the game advances, the smaller the percentage of the game (page 4 to when I arrived) I haven’t read and the more my lack of reads bothers me.

Hmm why not reading the first three pages?

Opposite problem. Only got to page 4. Missing what’s after.

Objectively the worst game mechanic.

I remember switching votes like mad to try to tell people I was silenced in a previous game and nobody freaking noticed.

[VOTE: pennywise] aubergine

Pennywise hasn't posted since Thursday morning, hasn't picked up the PM I sent later Thursday morning containing an avatar, yet his last presence on the site was Sunday. I don't know if any of that incites valid suspicion. Did he come to the site merely to engage in BTSC? Is this kind of detective work even legit?

Btsc is traditionally on qt or Chatzy in every game I’ve played here so PW shouldn’t have to come here to engage in btsc.

More likely an attempt to catch up that was abandoned for RL or whatever.

Not defending PW. Just saying I don’t think that’s a legit line of inquiry.

I can’t recall a single Pennywise post. Why are they suspicious?

I’d vote Avito but I’m not in love with it.

Feel like I’m not developing reads (thought Dizzy was town. Wonderful. Got another 3 or so town reads) as quickly as usual. I don’t know what’s wrong with me.

Rip, Diz.

Play another game with us, soon.

I’ve won as the serial killer twice (out of maybe 8-10 attempts) and both times said more about my skill of breaking games mechanically more than my ability to seem town or avoid lynch.

INH and DDL still in this game? They’ve been really quiet.

You joke but I’m actually tone reading Sprityo good (which is not healthy for my continued existence in this game but w/e). Need to check the contexts of his post Diz called out.

what's ur take on the current jay and epi face off

I liked Epignosis in it. He reads genuine, even though, imo, he might be over-reacting and making it more dramatic than it is and should be. JJJ comes off a bit worse than he started.

What's yours ?

Disagree. NAI for Epi. He comes across as “genuine” or “not genuine” based on mood swings, not alignment.

Lol.

"No puedo publicar in el trabajo."

"I can not post in the work."

How did you arrive at "I'm a busy high school teacher?"

That's Google translate, which I would have expected people to rely on.

I translated it correctly with my rudimentary knowledge of Spanish from high school classes. I just thought you meant that you don't have time to post in that environment because students and other responsibilities keep you busy.

If it isn't that, it's that the school blocks certain pages from the site. I literally can't access from work.

So when I get home, I bathe, cook, eat, do sports stuff (which really doesn't take as much time as you think it does), and try to keep up on the six-seven pages I've missed while you were in here talking it up.

When there is a lynch at hand, I am dedicated to get through the thread as fast as possible. I can't sit there and work through live discussion.

Jesus. Get a cell phone.

Just content. I’m saying there is a big annoying chunk of text where Epi and Jimmy are going around about schedules and Spanish and Jimmy is a dog. I’m gettung fuck all out of it because it’s a dumb accusation and Jay’s right that sometimes Epi just makes dumb accusations.

I’m like a page from caught up from where I entered the game so I really shouldn’t complain.

Scum. That’s based entirely off Diz’s case but it’s a pretty good two quote case so I’m okay with it.

[mention]sprityo[/mention]

This isn’t that relevant but when’s the last time you made it deep into a game as a baddie?

Sprityo is what I affectionately called several Realmsers in ME, “late game clutch town.”

That is, he’s not an early leader but as the Jimmy’s and the Macs and the Dunyas and the Jacks who dominate conversation die off, he steps up and makes his townieness known (disclaimer: idk what happens if he’s bad).

I’m ME, I had him pegged as a semi easy fall guy in the mid game but by endgame, I knew I had to buddy or kill him. In FE, his transformation into town leader was even more pronounced when Mac, Epi, Jimmy and DDL died.

So a third the time, that happens. A third the time he gets lynched early and is good. A third the time he gets lynched early and is bad.

<Vote lapluie> with bewildered question mark meme guy followed by You lynched lapluie? This had better meet my standards. is a pretty terrible look.

My reaction is mixed. I don't know Sprit as a player. I think we played one game and I was part of a scum team, and I vaguely remember not always understanding his perspective on things. And it seems we have different ideas of what makes players suspicious or not. But in itself it looks really bad to me, casting a wide net of blame for something you originally spent time arguing for. It's tempting to say it's "too scummy to be scum", but that doesn't really exists. In conclusion: It's a really bad look.

After ME and FE, I think I can find town Sprityo (and thus not town Sprityo by contrast) with enough time.

Kinda doubt he’ll last long enough to test that theory. Really bad look.

Like an actual bad look, not like the fake fake fake unslip from way back when.
