This chart suggests Boomslang, ika, Draconus, Nerolunar, and Serge are our top priorities today. I suppose that matches the discussions that have been going on in here. I'm surprised at the low totals on Quin and sig. Quin because he's definitely bad (my vote would have made it 3 for him, at least) and sig because he's just been such a hot topic all game long. Serge is also a bit of a surprise, I didn't expect him to be such a big suspect.
I'd like to hear more from the people who labeled him with an M, myself included.
If any of the unanimous town picks are making me uneasy, it's still indiglo. I still have her as a town read, but I continue to be unable to shake a feeling in the back of my mind that she's just playing a very precise scum game. She's been in the thread to hammer home a lot of points, but is seldom one of the players stirring the pot.
I am completely exhausted and brain dead, but can I stay out of this thread? No.
So I am not in full catch up mode, but I did see this and want to reply. (I am at least 10 pages back from current page, but am going to go ahead and reply anyway.)
I appreciate the compliment about the precise scum game. I am not doing that, but of course you can't know until you know my role and all that. I am also used to occasionally taking some heat while on my civ game, for a variety of reasons.
Sometimes (like R&B) because I think about the game when I'm not online, and sometimes have flashes of ideas I will stew on before I come back online. Then I'll post my idea without always explaining it that much (like, I just start posting mid-sentence, or mid-thought if that makes sense), and someone will jump on it for being a total u-turn, or making an outlandish statement without having mentioned it in the thread prior.
Sometimes it's because I have posted in a stream of consciousness style, which means I will post conflicting thoughts in the same post, because I'm thinking and reasoning (or trying to, lol) as I type.
Lots of other reasons, but the brain is tired. So I in no way take offense or umbrage to your statement. Plus, I understand paranoia is rampant, I am suffering from it myself. And I too feel like I have been in ketchup mode quite often this game. One reason, I think, is that after being away for a couple years, most of the players on the site and in this game are new to me. So I don't know their playstyles, or anything about them. In that sense, once I had a touchstone or two that I really felt were civ, I felt like looking in the direction they were looking to see if I agreed. Best strategy? I don't know.
However, if there is anything you feel like you need to ask, or hear, or see, please mention it (and apologies if you already have and I haven't gotten that far yet). If it's just a minor paranoia feeling I can live with that. But if it's going to impact your scum hunting in this game, I would love to clear it up. I know you won't know I'm town (or, mafia actually) until my role is revealed (and who knows if we are the same family even), but if I can help in any way prior to that - to aid with game progression - that would be my first wish.
This may very well be as coherent as I'm gonig to be tonight, so I may just read a bit more without doing much more posting until I can rightly get caught up to present.
Prisoner, thanks much for that work! I found the chart to be quite interesting! I will say (and I should have said this when we were doing the reads) that 2 of the ones I fought over most were Sig and Epi. There were others too, mainly Quin (because I just don't want him to be scum - but wishes don't mean a lot, he rolled what he rolled in the role department), Serge, Scotty (though I'm thinking that he is seeming less scummy).
I am also growing a bit more concerned about SW. She was so upset yesterday that no one was following her on ika... and now it's like she's totally dropped that. I don't know, she's seeming a touch flippy floppy as the game continues. Which definitely can have civ explanations, but I will admit to it making me uncomfortable.
Ok, now that really may be all I have for now. I've got mafia on my brain and a touch less than 50% brain power.
Tomorrow I am going to hope to get caught up and be able to make a rational decision.
