I’ll find the other mafia now, lead their lynches, everyone will forget about Day 1, and I’ll get all the credit.
If there is a busser on the wagon it's Long Con. The other three of us are never bussen.
Start with Spacedaisy. Then look at yourself because you're probably the second most scummy. Then like Myo and the rest of them.
Soneji was the counterwagon.
I think Sloonei is spewed clear because I feel like Jack didn't fake derping the EOD and Sloonei was here the whole time so I want to derpclear him on "I think he'd make sure Jack didn't derp the EOD.

Hey all, just found out this game started. Just wanted to say hello before I go back and start catching up. Sorry I missed the start, I’ve had a rough week and honestly Thursday is my busiest day, so bear with me.

Asking questions for the sake of asking questions.
Eh, I feel that this deserves a little push-back. Couching your own opinions in someone else's reasoning strikes me as creating
'distance' between yourself and your actions. The follow-up feels warranted to get Jackofhearts2005's actual thoughts/reasoning without basing it on outside logic that he's not claiming as his own.
I think this is a fair take.
I don’t suspect Soneji for asking me to clarify or think it was pointless.
Those posts didn't age well though, given nutella is actually in the game now

I wanna lynch Sloonie, for reasons,
LC, since I've gotten away from my roots of always lynching him and him usually, sometimes, kinda always being mafia.
Ted, since I never wanna lynch Ted and I think it'll be a fun way to start the game.
If Nutella was here, she'd call this salad tho.
i saw this and no, i wouldn't??? It's not lol
Checking your mentions is overrated. I was just trying to help.

This is gonna be one of those games where I end up antialigned with everyone and people still suspect me come lylo huh?
Given that this dialogue extends from a period in which nutella wasn't actually playing, I hesitate to draw much from it. The answer is no, however: it was not a salad. Jack has never used that term correctly before. nutella knows.

I would say there is probably a wolf between Nanook/Jack personally. It's definitely always Jack because Nanook is lock town.
This is dumb but Mac knows my reaction to team ups and towncores tends to range somewhere between flat denial and restrained agreement with jokes in between.
So I kinda don’t think his treatment of me has been buddying, which makes me think he’s town.
idk Jack voting LC makes me more want to vote Jack I think
nutella wrote: ↑Thu May 28, 2020 9:50 pm[VOTE:

These posts all come from the EOD sequence as the wagon shifted over to Jack. nutella handles the matter frivolously in a way that I think looks reasonably organic. If I have any pause here, it's that her first post in the game came 2 hours prior to EOD, and within that time frame she found her way to a correct suspicion and a correct vote (reminders of Quin in Mad Max). That this was a very abrupt hot potato stands in her favor anyway. I suspect she'd be less whimsical about this stuff as a Jack teammate.
~~~~~
Conclusion:
The most important factor here is that the lynch was a hot potato, and nutella's role in that speaks favorably for her.

For sure. Caught already.
Jack's last reply here may be to LC's credit. If LC throws up a bit ~let's distance~ sign and Jack responds with that, then I don't know what he has achieved beyond [not even playing in the game yet] JJJ reading it this way right now.

Jack waited until 4 minutes prior to EOD to place this vote. I'm not inclined to award credit on that basis -- Jack's lack of enthusiasm about the vote is visible.

You talkin' about lynch-style votes, or today's vote. I like Jack's idea for today's vote. Although I also want the extra scrap because upgrading sounds legit.
This was Day 0. I don't know what Jack's idea was. Let me go look.
It seems to have been the "give the scrap to Soneji or a newcomer" thing. I don't care about this.

Conclusion:
Long Con's vote came approximately 31 hours before the deadline, and that was his last post of Day 1. I don't think credit is warranted here. Keep LC in the POE pool.

I feel like Sloonei's votes are pretend for the first 3/4ths of D1 and Sig somehow pocketed me in a game recently iirc. Covid? Like I'm just gonna let that stuff play out without worrying about what either of them are doing atm. Unless when I read the posts I've missed there's nothing else interesting going on.
Mirrored a lot of my thoughts Jack. Shall we dance together in honour of our failure to do so in the recent game?
Yeah and when we come to an agreement on who is scummy, we agree not to lynch them.
I don't understand this but deal!
The joke is we found each other last game...and then together, decided that Nanook and Boo were the mafia but they were both town.
This is dumb but Mac knows my reaction to team ups and towncores tends to range somewhere between flat denial and restrained agreement with jokes in between.

Jack and Mac attack is back to snack on wolf sack.
It's enjoyable that when a wolf sack was indeed a snack, it was Jack's own sack that gave Mac no flak. He'll probably yack and quack about deserving a plaque handcrafted by Jacques Chirac. Mac's always had a knack for sack, so give him a smack on the back and join the attack.

Jackofhearts2005 - Can confirm that this is in fact Jackofhearts2005 playing in this slot
JiwonMeganPark - Strange day zero. Strange play in general. Have no meta. No idea of noob town or noob wolf. Probably need to lynch this person not on day 1.
Long Con - Long Con won't be solved by night kill ever so Long Con will need to be a focus of heavy town solving and be placed under immense pressure Prepare for anxiety LC.
MacDougall - Damn my garden is going great! Who knew I was such a great gardener.
motobot - Nanook being evil is a pretty fair thing to say. Probably a townie kid here.
Myo - Slightly less askew play than Jiwon. Coaching?
NANOOKTHEGREATANDFEARSOME - Just lock town always.
sig - Mislynch sig is in full effect. I think I've finally reached the point where I can tell when it's occurring.
Sloonei - Can confirm that this is Sloonei and not an AI emulation of him.
Soneji - Biggest scum read. His energy is off imo.
Spacedaisy - Will probs get solved by night kills if and when she decides to switch on.
tedxtr - Inno child. Wouldn't lynch yet.
MacDougall wrote: ↑Thu May 28, 2020 7:58 pm
Path to victory:
Day 1 lynch Long Con or Soneji. Hopefully we get wolf there. I'd say probs higher than rand chance and it's probably one of the higher rated players in any potential wolf build unless we have the misfortunate of having randed LC/Soneji + some combination of Sloo/Jack/Nook/Nut/Daisy. Which I mean, it's probable too but also those are all gonna get night killed if they're town and we run this game deep. Never lynch sig day 1. Even if it's a scum lynch it's usually the worst scum lynch and sig is a great townie that never really gets a chance to shine. He can draw night kills if his reads are on song and that's a good thing if it happens in any game really because of his propensity to get mislynched.
Day 1 kill: I'd guess as long as the townies amongst the aforementioned names town read me on the large I probably cop a bullet here. But it's near certainly going to be one of Sloo/Nut/Mac/Daisy I'd say.
Day 2 lynch: If we get a wolf flip day one we'll have a POE. For the love of God just start lynching from the POE. If we fail to hit fur day 1 lynch the other of LC/Soneji.
Day 2 kill: Probs gonna be another from that pile of names I mentioned.
Day 3 lynch: If we haven't hit fur at this point lynch Sloonei without thinking twice. If we have 1 or 2 wolves, keep working through the POE and we'll win eventually.
If we follow this model up to day 3 we have an >80% chance of winning the game and right now anyone sane would be accepting that opportunity.

70 minutes prior to EOD, Mac was pro-Jack. That's just to note cuz timelines matter kids. It was near to the deadline when Mac screamed the caps lock red alert and the wagon pile shifted over. I think that's to his credit.

This falls within the "Jack doesn't know he's dead" period, if we take that seriously. Jack had nothing to say about Nanook's vote for him until he asked this question in this typically mafioso tone. It's hard to say how this would have developed if Jack had another hour as he [allegedly] expected. For what it is, I don't think it hurts Nanook's cause. It just exists.

I mean, I think salad is a more useful tool against specific players who tend to do that, especially ones who don't know about salad and can consciously not do it. For Sig, it's maybe -5% off his townieness score. Not worth lynching for alone but relevant after being like "lol people are voting for Sig."
None of this is inspiring. Jack gave commentary on sig but no read. "-5% towniness" is not a read.

I actually just discovered something really insightful in my play that I'm never sharing with anyone.
I wouldn't put too much stock in it. You're vastly overstating your quality of play right now.
What is Mac's play lacking?
Cred for civ LC. That fact that he's "pretty sure" I'm bad is a glaring negative on his quality record.
How well is Mac playing if he is dead right about everyone in the game other than you?
Well, he's lucky on Day 1 that I wasn't around near day's end, because I probably would have been trying to self-preserve by the time he clued in that Jack was bad, and Jack wouldn't have gotten lynched. He did well to follow my lead on the Jack vote, so that's a positive on his record. He immediately jumped to the idea that I'm bad, both before and after I was key in the Jack lynch. So far nothing is blowing my skirt up here.
I'll say that anyone who is dead right about everyone in the game is doing well.

Now that I think of it, this little bit may speak well for Long Con and Sloonei -- if LC flips civilian, Sloonei is set up as "the guy who did a mini-iso on him and showed him being scummy".

Lol at Sig already having two votes.
Was my initial reaction but also Sloonei isn't the type to just lolvote sig so he may have seen something there that I did not.
I feel like Sloonei's votes are pretend for the first 3/4ths of D1 and Sig somehow pocketed me in a game recently iirc. Covid? Like I'm just gonna let that stuff play out without worrying about what either of them are doing atm. Unless when I read the posts I've missed there's nothing else interesting going on.
There we go
Kinda wish Sloonei didn't grant Jack this, because then why is Jack supposed to care when

Mini ISOs because something needs to happen in this game. Colin and Drago haven't posted yet. They both get a shrug.

Repairs: For each vote you took in the Day poll (regardless of its value), you will lose one scrap for repairs. If you cannot repair your ship, you will begin the next Day with votes against you equal to the number of votes you cannot afford to repair. You need not PM the Host to initiate repairs; these will be done automatically as long as you have the scrap.
That's a fun mechanic. Off wagon votes actually do something.
Like maybe if you're the only person who scumreads someone, you can eventually make them a viable lynch just be being persistent. And there's no such thing as scum hiding off wagon because they're always hurting someone. Plus, wolves may be less willing to vote for a teammate at all.
I like this post for vague reasons. I feel like it shows a Jack who's eager to get back in the saddle after a very disappointing result in the game that recently ended. Ordinarily I'd raise an eyebrow over Jack being so focused and on-topic early, but instead I read that as a hunger to solve a game after the Corrupt!? experience, as evidenced in these posts:

Voting for an inactive player at this stage in this game would be like throwing darts at a board while blindfolded and drunk.
Counterpoint: Losing to inactive wolves hurts my self esteem and those things don’t make me significantly worse at darts.
More serious counterpoint: So let’s lynch off false memories? Huh?
Not enough has happened to assess the direction of his reads. That's gonna be a common thing here. But based on attitude and energy, Jack feels like a civilian. Would not lynch.

I'm not ISOing ted because I've already talked to/about him more than anyone else. He's a town read, as explained here. I guess I also need a nutella read now too. Here's a temporary rainbow:
Myo
Jack
ted
motobot Jiwon
Nanook sig
mac
Soneji Colin
Dragotella Spacedaisy
Long Con
I'm concerned. Sloonei I have concerns.
The orange thing up there is, at face value, bad. Ordinarily I would suspect X but today I don't suspect X is not a template for a good read. I can give it a chance as you provide posts to evidence your perspective of Jack's "energy", but I don't see much energy in Jack as I review this game. The posts you highlighted are also quite empty -- Jack has energy because he is willing to lynch no shows? That's energy?
Sloonei I have concerns.
Even if I accept that premise, I don't know how it's enough to give Jack a spot at the tippy top tier of the rainbow.

Nutella isn't here though, so would Jack call this salad?
Asking questions for the sake of asking questions.
Eh, I feel that this deserves a little push-back. Couching your own opinions in someone else's reasoning strikes me as creating
'distance' between yourself and your actions. The follow-up feels warranted to get Jackofhearts2005's actual thoughts/reasoning without basing it on outside logic that he's not claiming as his own.
I think this is a fair take.
I don’t suspect Soneji for asking me to clarify or think it was pointless.
HOLY FUCK CODE RED THIS IS NOT A DRILL JACK IS ACTUALLY SCUM
Abandon ship?

I'm not going to be super confident in any vote today, but I'm less comfortable making a wild swing onto jack at this moment than I am staying put.
holy linki
Sloonei worded this like he was to some degree tempted by the last-second move to Jack but just didn't have the confidence. Jack was a top-tier green read, so why is there even temptation? If Sloonei agreed with Mac's red alert, I would expect him to say that. If Sloonei did not agree and still felt good about Jack, I would expect him to say that.
Sloonei I have concerns.
~~~~~
Conclusions:
Sloonei I have concerns. I have concerns, Sloonei. Jack's posts kinda worked in his favor, but Sloonei's posts are, well, they're giving me concerns.

Well, he's lucky on Day 1 that I wasn't around near day's end, because I probably would have been trying to self-preserve by the time he clued in that Jack was bad, and Jack wouldn't have gotten lynched. He did well to follow my lead on the Jack vote, so that's a positive on his record. He immediately jumped to the idea that I'm bad, both before and after I was key in the Jack lynch. So far nothing is blowing my skirt up here.
I'll say that anyone who is dead right about everyone in the game is doing well.
What was your contribution to the Jack lynch that you felt was key? This is not rhetorical: tell me as the newcomer.

I was the first to call him out as bad, and the first to vote for him. I never changed my vote, and never intended to.
If I weren't voting for Jack, he almost definitely wouldn't have been lynched.

I’ll find the other mafia now, lead their lynches, everyone will forget about Day 1, and I’ll get all the credit.
If there is a busser on the wagon it's Long Con. The other three of us are never bussen.
Start with Spacedaisy. Then look at yourself because you're probably the second most scummy. Then like Myo and the rest of them.
Soneji was the counterwagon.
I think Sloonei is spewed clear because I feel like Jack didn't fake derping the EOD and Sloonei was here the whole time so I want to derpclear him on "I think he'd make sure Jack didn't derp the EOD.
