Spoiler: show

I sure as hell don’t want to vote for anybody who is asking to be killed today. That does not seem like a percentage move.

Completely agree.

Dear Diary,

Someone just asked for my autograph. Even after tonight. As bad as I was feeling, I still signed my name and shook hands. Sometimes the right thing to do is give what someone is asking. It might not make you feel great at the time, but it can make that person's day.

I can't ever forget that.

XOXO
Charlie

i don't intend to vote for dunya today

[ColinIsCool]

My vote on Eloh was very flippant and not the end of my thinking. I can’t find the posts because I am on mobile. This is totally going to be called OMGUS, but I hate what I’ve seen from nutella in the last 10 or so pages, including the quoted above. I didn’t like her response to dunya putting on heat earlier either, and I am of course not buying her stance toward me. The rainbow list that seems to have been rendered useless 10 minutes after posting — what’s the point in that? No sir. No good.

Let’s make things even more exciting. I wonder what happens in a tie.

[VOTE: DUNYA] aubergine

[Kylemii]

on one hand eloh's play here has some consistencies with past bad eloh's, on the other hand epignosis' lynch might result in no one dying and him talking regular and there emay be benefit to having extra time to read eloh's behavior, on the other other hand epignosis' might be a bomb or a jester or a bomb jester

not rendered useless at all. I stand by most of it, and also it was useful for me in forming my opinions at the time. what do you have against my effort in providing reads?

[Epignosis]

Dear Diary,

I saw something else that caught my eye on the way back to the hotel. More graffiti:

"I'm your stump bitches."

Again, I have no idea what that means. What a weird world we live in.

I think it looks dishonest that you were comfortable voting for somebody you didn’t appear to suspect the most with very, very, very little prodding.

[Kylemii]

[MacDougall]

Day has ended. Don't touch the poll.

why does it look dishonest? I did suspect you the most at that time. I found your eloh vote post extremely suspicious and decided to throw a vote on you, with the caveat that I felt I should probably let you respond and so I said that I would likely move my vote to dunya (which I have now done) since she is also a top suspect of mine. I felt that you were worthy of a pressure vote that could easily have turned into a lynch vote had more people been on board with it. I placed my vote where I felt like placing it at the time. Nothing dishonest about it.

ooooooooops punishment time for me

The thread has requested that I mod-kill Epignosis.

But I can't.

Epignosis was lynched but he did not die. He is now a tree stump. He is Charlie Blackmon. He cannot vote, he cannot be lynched, he cannot be targeted by night actions and he has no night actions. He's a civilian tree stump.

Aaaaaaand nobody else is dead. It's now night 1. Night lasts 24 hours. Please get your night actions in asap. I WILL NOT BE ACCEPTING CHANGES. THERE ARE TOO MANY OF YOU TO FUCK AROUND WITH.

Thread is unlocked.

[nutella]

ok

[ColinIsCool]

Are you telling me ... that there are still 427 people playing this game after all that

[ColinIsCool]

Do we want to discuss this night poll as a group? I don’t know if any of these are any good. Maybe the one with the top 3, but I haven’t thought about it too hard.

[Epignosis]

Oh, well, hello everyone. I'm Charlie Blackmon. Center-fielder for the Colorado Rockies.

[Golden]

Ok, I hope we get GoC epi.

[colonialbob]

I like the argument I've seen put forth against Elohcin.

[VOTE: ELOHCIN] aubergine

mmmmmm I hate this post!! please elaborate on your thoughts colin

What’s there to hate about it? Elohcin’s posts ring a little false to me, and while she has some very good excuses, like I said I am wary of the “not reading the thread” thing. It’s not helpful if you’re town and I just saw it help secure a win in AG. I’m not caught up so I may change my vote but let me just say I find it very strange that you put me in the middle of a rainbow list and yet here your vote is on me...

I made the rainbow before I saw that post. Anyway Eloh has been reading, she said that she only skipped day 0 but is doing her best to keep up from the beginning of d1 on. I don't think you really have any other reason and you just jumped on what looked like an easy vote.

also like... the main thing I didn't like about your post was the vague "I like the argument against her" without specifying which argument you meant, and when I asked for elaboration you just say "her posts ring false" and state your own reasoning of being wary of her not reading the thread -- was that the argument you were referring to that you had "seen put forth against her"? again it's not a very good one and your other reason is empty.

This is good stuff right here

[speedchuck]

Can't believe I missed this. Sorry guys.

[ColinIsCool]

Colonialbob, why do you want 8 random people in the poll tomorrow versus the other options?

Because it will give us some focus.

Colonialbob, why do you want 8 random people in the poll tomorrow versus the other options?

I like that option this early actually. Focused discussion. Downside is you could randomly get no baddies but 8 is a decent sample size.

I dunno. It almost seems like that’s the most prohibitive option — what if they’re mostly, or somehow all, town? I’d rather be trusted to pick my own scum out than lose an entire lynch cycle arbitrarily.

[insertnamehere]

Excited for supatown Stumpignosis.

Out of the poll options, I'd suggest #1 or #6. More votes means that more people have to put forth their opinions, encouraging discussion. More deaths means a higher chance of killing a baddie and kicking things into high gear. Plus, if people start dying the thread'll become actually manageable.

[insertnamehere]

#2 and #4 sound too arbitrary for my tastes.

[colonialbob]

I'm not even 100% convinced you're bad but that's good analysis. Feels like town hunting.

[ColinIsCool]

I almost feel like we should pick the one that would be the hardest for scum to strategize around by sneaking in a townie or two. But I’m not sure which that is.

[ColinIsCool]

Sig, why did you pick top 3?

How many mafia do you think there are in the game?

I do like 1. It’s simple and will force people to make reads and take stances that we can then utilize if we catch a scum. The more vote-based content, the better. And it seems like it will be harder for scum to take advantage of than one that will no doubt kill a lot of people.

[JaggedJimmyJay]

#6 is extremely pro-civilian. Vote it now!

I dunno, but I don’t like the thought of, say, only being able to vote for 3 of them when there are 6 total.

[ColinIsCool]

What’s the reasoning?

[Turnip Head]

U my boi CB

U my fuckin boiiiiiiiiiiiii

*shrug* restricting us to a pool of 8 is going to focus the town. In a game this big we need that.

[ColinIsCool]

Initial thoughts on all the options:

1) I like it — see above.

2) I don’t like the arbitrariness. High risk, potentially high reward, but also very limiting.

3) Not risky, but seems very prohibitive to people in actually playing the game. Still, this one would force us to make really good arguments and take serious stances if you’re into that.

4) The hardest to deal with possibly. Not sure how easy this would be to take advantage of, but again, arbitrary

5) This one is closest to normal, but low risk and low reward.

6) I like it and dislike it. If we can get more than one scum, that’d be great, but I think it would be all too easy to get a townie lynched on a bullshit case on this day especially, or two, or even three. That’d be not so cool.

I’m sympathetic to that view, but fundamentally, it’s ... icky.
