It is Chest Day. Before you make your next post in the game thread, please complete a quick, gentle set of pyramid push-ups. This means you will ascend and then descend in repetitions.
I'm keeping these numbers very low since we're all at different levels of push-up endurance/strength. Try to use proper form, but if you absolutely cannot then you may keep your knees on the floor or do them against an elevated surface like a couch or table. Since we've already done push-ups, you may choose to do dips instead (this tends to require specialized equipment/bars or at least a narrow space between two sturdy surfaces. Stick to push-ups if you can't).
Drink water.

To be clear: "how is that not just 13 push-ups?" The point is to rest a bit between sets.

Ha ha, I did it, but the first time I tried, my husky noticed in the middle of the 5 and had to come over and put her face against my face and get under me. So I had to start over after reassurnig her that I was not in distress. I also drank water before hitting Submit, because Simon Says, muthaf*ucka.

Unexpected low activity, I thought I have pages to catch up after so many AFK hours but this is not the case.
I have to sleep soon though, if anyone is here let's talk about who posted.
I am feeling good about Scotty and Abigail.
Please discuss
What particularly are you feeling good about with Abigail?
I don’t have a strong reason to town read here whatsoever.
What about me makes your afternoon delightful?
No strong read but I feel that Abigail town reading me gives her towny points because why would a wolf town read the other player who received a vote in the game?
About you, I think you have a balanced view and even the fact you're questioning my take shows solving intent.
What I don't like is the overall inactivity, but maybe everyone not posting is scared by the push ups?

Hey Siri
Make me a playlist for this Day 1 in workout format.
I’ll come back with more reads later, but tbh I have a strong inclination unless more people start adding to the discussion, most of the votes here will be >rand or at least based on minimal content that is absolutely AI
If the strongest reads I’ve seen so far are centered around people’s activity levels in relation to their normal town activity meta, we’re gonna have a bad time.
Also when does this phase end again?

It's impossible to have activity related reads when no one is posting
So what do we hope to gain with voting a no-poster?
(Please note that 10 years ago, I ONLY EVER voted for a no poster on D1 so as to hide any potential alignment indication for future games, but now I’m old and see no value in this)

Day 0 has ended. Chest Day is underway and will last for 48 hours (until 6:00 PM PST on Saturday). You may begin placing elimination votes (please do so in both the poll and the game thread). You no longer have to do a push-up for every post you make, but I may show up later in the day with some instructions.
I'm unable to set a proper poll deadline right now, so I will use an indefinite poll and screenshot it at the deadline (votes accepted at XX:00 but not at XX:01).

I agree with Michelle
I dont see anything other than conjecture from anyone I listed. Epi made a push and a “looks bad” opinion post. Scotty, LC, and falcon are riffing off that. Michelle is defending herself but I’m not seeing anything that tips me off (or at least anything that I think would). Most of the interactions therein were pretty one note and minimal (which to be fair is expected day 1). They’ll be more useful tomorrow maybe but I don’t see much getting done today until everyone does (or lies about doing) their assigned pushups.
So what do we hope to gain with voting a no-poster?
(Please note that 10 years ago, I ONLY EVER voted for a no poster on D1 so as to hide any potential alignment indication for future games, but now I’m old and see no value in this)
Any answer/reaction from anyone.
Probably DM town because otherwise at least their partner (assuming 2 mafia team) would question me and I don't think you are mafia.

Does 9v2 sound appropriate here? That’s what I’m running with. A team of 2.
I don’t have a lot of confidence in Michelle. I also don’t agree or see the same things she does regarding Princess Abigail.
Current reads in alphabetical order, as if they were people at the gym:
***********
DarlingMonroe - got a membership on a whim for New Years Resolution and just never showed up
DrWilgy - comes in once a month on his friend’s guest day pass. Uses a little bit of every machine and gives a slight smile and head nod to everyone that looks in his direction. Needs to come in more to see meaningful results
Epignosis - First one in, last one out. A real scrappy individual that utilizes the plyometric section. Secretly working on his PT certification, he isn’t afraid to call you out on bad form and also has discount codes for a dietary weight loss cocktail he brews in his own bathtub. A gymbro through and through
falcon45ca - works the front desk. Has a witty response to everyone when they scan in. When he works out after his shift, he makes sure to loudly count his reps, and always caps his leg days with a loud and prolonged ‘LET’S GOOO’. A gym mouse in rat clothing
Long Con - the social butterfly. No one’s actually seen him work out, but he swears he does. Genetically gifted. Will often help spot for others while prattling on about his recent forays in the dating scene, unprompted. No one actually knows his name, but he’s always there. Could secretly despise everyone’s workout routines and lack of min/maxing on weight and it wouldn’t surprise me.
Michelle - keeps to herself and does light workouts here and there. Never uses max weight or effort. Sometimes gives other gym rats words of encouragement in passing, but you can tell she doesn’t feel confident in what she’s doing. Feels like she could drop her membership any day now
Princess Abigail - Comes to the gym about twice a week, mostly to use the shower and sauna. When she works out, it’s a 10-minute walk on the treadmill, occasionally talking on her phone. Is generally gregarious, but I’m beginning to wonder if she even has a membership here
Ruri- was getting a sandwich next door to the gym and decided to pop in to get a tour before committing to joining. Was overwhelmed with the joining fee because she went in the middle of the month without a worthwhile promotion, and decided to workout at home instead. Needs to workout more
Sloonei - doesn’t use the machines and almost exclusively uses the squat rack. Every time someone tries to use it when the coast is clear, Sloonei pops in seemingly out of nowhere and loudly announces ‘Hey, I’ve still got 2 sets’. Could be a poser, but probably knows what he’s doing.
sprityo - comes in about once a week, does a couple sets on the leg press machine and sits on his phone for 45 minutes. Needs to come in more.
So what do we hope to gain with voting a no-poster?

I admit I like that you are admitting at this point DM is town while still voting there. That’s a good look methinks.
I also like sprityo’s attempt here to stoke discussion.
If I had to make more of a lean list of the posters that have a semblance of relevant discussion, I’d have:
Townread:
Epi
Sprityo
Townlean:
Michelle
Falcon
Scumlean:
Sloonei
Long con
Abigail
Nothing:
Ruri
Wilgy
DM

Oh hmm; I forgot there’s a 5 post minimum so maybe my preemptive town read of sprityo is just that: preemptive.
Mafia still need to make their post min. Bring him to top town*lean*
Epi still at the top of my town list only because of how early he pushed Michelle and logically I can see where he was coming from. Michelle was pacifistic, and I actually haven’t seen much to disagree with him.
I’m oscillating like a funky monkey desk fan. Drop Michelle down to scumlean.
Too many scum leans.
Long Con is someone that has posted but doesn’t have that air of levity I expect. It’s much too blendy. Not that anyone else is making waves here on D1, but I’m guarded to him.

This post is a summary of events with no reads or judgments.
I was hoping there would be more to this. We’re light on content. Talk about why Michelle is town. Or if the pressure against her has been nefarious.

I will not be able to actively contribute for the remainder of the phase. I’ll try to follow along as best I can, bur I’ll be working. My vote for sprit is nothing solid, but nobody is a solid suspect yet, so
During each night phase, you may select a player. If that player either performed a night action or was visited by a night action, you will receive the feedback “yes, there is motion”. If that player neither performed a night action nor was visited by a night action, you will receive the feedback “no, there is no motion”.
To be eligible to use your night action, you must perform a number of push-ups that elevates each night phase. Follow the table below:
Night 1 – 20 push-ups
Night 2 – 30 push-ups
Night 3 – 40 push-ups
(and so on)
Simply verify for me when you submit your night action that you have completed this requirement.
Win the game by eliminating all threats to your faction.
Night 1 will last 24 hours until 6:00 PM PST. Please get any night actions to me by 5:00 PM PST, an hour in advance. And keep sweating.
During each night phase, you may select a player. That player will be protected from any killing actions.
To be eligible to use your night action, you must perform a number of sit-ups that elevates each night phase. Follow the table below:
Night 1 – 20 sit-ups
Night 2 – 30 sit-ups
Night 3 – 40 sit-ups
(and so on)
Simply verify for me when you submit your night action that you have completed this requirement.
Win the game by eliminating all threats to your faction.
Today is Cardiovascular Fitness Day. The day will last 48 hours.
Please be mindful of the minimum participation rate (5 per day). It will be difficult to find replacements for this game, and if I have no better options I will resort to modkills.
I apologize for my lack of participation during the latter bit of Chest Day. I wasn't flaking, but was rather nursing a shoulder injury (that I have no earthly idea how I got).
I should be capable of slinging a bowling ball tomorrow, and that's all I care about.
I hate that Scotty was murdered, but I think that was an obvious kill choice.
