Doesn't appear activation is a thing

I need to reread the roles. My understanding is most town roles start vanilla and get unvanillaed later maybe.

I hate this “no claiming/hinting” stuff. Did I break the rules by semiconfirming I’m not one of the btsc civilians? Oh well.

to vote without breaking the tie between two players i don't know the shit about and therefore don't feel qualified or comfortable condemning them to day 1 death by single-handedly breaking the tie

So it was a vote “to vote.”

nothing changed. that's the point. that's math

if i wanted to change something about the direction of the lynch i would have voted for lc or lapluie, but I didn't so I didn't. i voted for you because voting for a player outside of the tie leaves the players involved at the mercy of a randomizer rather than at the mercy of me making an arbitrary decision based on 10% of the facts that i had only read from a second-hand source

jack i swear we've had this exact same conversation about ties like 30 times before

Okay.

Oh man, we shoulda lynched Sig. Sig's always good for a lynch.

I had 4 votes (Marmot, Scotty, Jimmy and Mac). Wolbre had 3 (idk).

Then I actually showed up and went down to 2 (Mac and Marmot iirc). Then I shot back up. Then Wolbre shot up and down iirc. Then Lap shot up and down iirc. Then I shot down and LC and Lap went up, tied untied tied untied and then day ended.

I don't actually have a good understanding of why anyone but me (and kinda Kyle and kinda Mac) was voting for who they were voting for.

On Day 1, a civilian usually gets lynched. Oh well, it sucks, but we move forward. If the game maintains its pace, we'll be fine. The civilians are winning right now.

What is a hot potato? I'm hungry.

Also, town is winning, obivously, cause town is awesome. BUT, I want to stress that if all town does not start getting involved for real we're not going anywhere. There are five mafia members, and we do need coordination and a sense of urgency. Just a mantra I have.

The post from Quin says that there are 4 mafia, did I miss something?

And the Golden character seems to be a town aligned 3p unless he counts as nontown for numbers?

Maybe he learns to love over the course of the series or something but as of Epi 1, the yellow guy wants to destroy the whole planet and has already destroyed most of the moon. I’d bet on him as bad.

did you only watch exactly one episode?

...

Yes.

[mention]Dyslexicon[/mention]

“What’s your problem with Kyle’s EOD vote on you anyway?”

It’s for show.

He didn’t take a stance that I should be lynched. He didn’t take a stance that the tied players are both town or both scum. He simply decided that he must vote and he didn’t want to be the deciding vote.

I understand the later if you have the tied players in about the same rainbow slot but I don’t get the former. If you must show something at least show your top suspect, which is not what Kyle did.

Apparently, we’ve had this argument before so it may be a strategic difference and NAI.

Currently most suspect of, in order of most willing to lynch:

-wolbre
-sprityo
-Dom

-jack?

Dys, DDL, sig is leaning town.

Pennywise and Dom both need to talk or else they’re going to draw my vote sooner or later

Why the question mark? You seemed sure last night.

What do you think of LC?

I probably don’t remember it cause being right again doesn’t stick out in my mind.

I think Jimmy is town now but keep in mind I’m a sucker.

<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.

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.

[mention]sprityo[/mention]

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

wolbre04 wrote: ↑Fri May 04, 2018 3:22 pm GTH thoigh jack do you read him as town now or scum?

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

There better be content on the other end of Epi going after Jay for not speaking Spanish.

Describe some content of the type you're imagining. I don't understand.

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.

"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.

Lol.

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.

Marmot wrote: ↑Sat May 05, 2018 1:39 am One thing's for sure. Probably. I doubt that Epignosis is scum and JaggedJimmyJay is civilian.

I don’t see that exchange as fake, if that’s what you’re implying. I’d almost be willing to rule them out as w/w. Almost.

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.

If it's a story parallel in most regards to what I said I'll assume you're referencing my post

A serial killer winning is literally all it has in common. The story even included me doing a bad job. Idk why you’re assuming I’m doubting that you won a game as the serial killer.

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.

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.

[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.
