Let's go for 11!! (Assuming 12 is an unrealistic asperation, with the person having voted for themselves)

Also, if you are supportive of this plan, why haven't you voted yet for the person that multiple people have supported voting for, and no one seems to be arguing against?

OK, really, though. Can we make aubergine purple be the voting color and make a button for it?

Pray do tell why that person is me? I don't mind being recast, but I want a reason from every single person who cast their vote already. That means you @sig @Sloonei @LoRab @DrWilgy @Scotty.

Helpful in lynching Marmot, but not helpful for addressing that I don’t sense a strong sense of agency coming from your decisions in this game. Like, what do you actually think of sig?

Sloonei wrote: ↑Sun Mar 11, 2018 2:05 pm My first major concern with Marmot was that he was making empty prods of players to appear as a driving force in the game, but he never followed up on these prods at all. Here's a couple early examples:

Marmot wrote: ↑Sun Feb 25, 2018 1:18 pm All of them.

Why do you have so many folks colored at such an early juncture in the game?

sig wrote: ↑Sun Feb 25, 2018 1:52 pm I do like that Sloonie is posting and trying to get people talking, but as of right now I just don't think there's much to talk about. However, I'd put him down as a light civ read.

What do you think will get people talking?

Followed two hours later with this:

Marmot wrote: ↑Sun Feb 25, 2018 6:46 pm Haha, I forgot to come back and move my vote.

And no visible attempt anywhere to do anything with the questions he had asked previously, giving me reason to doubt that he cared at all about his own line of investigation.


The first time I remember stating suspicion against him, and his response was to take cover behind his meta:

Sloonei wrote: ↑Fri Mar 02, 2018 1:06 pm @Marmot has not made a single post that I can't see coming from a mafia member. That's not a very good look. I also don't really know where he stands on anything. He just keeps self-voting and making small observations here and there.

Have you met me?

tries to motivate himself to play mafia, but this place smells like old shrimp

Uninspiring.

Here's another collection of mid-game posts where he seems to be trying to check off the "Active participant" box without really producing much:

Spoiler: show

If what you muse about is correct Scotty, that means you have a higher likelihood of being anti-town than any other player in this thread.

Marmot attempts to pump everyone up like he's JaggedJimmyJay


This is the Game of Champions folks! Let's get it together. Pretend that someone shit in your cornflakes or something.

Maybe it's unfair of me to label them as such, but these all feel like hollow prods to me. I don't see him doing much with the responses he gets and they don't feel particularly directed toward anything.

If there's a specific incident I take issue with, it was this small exchange the two of us had a few days ago (I've wrapped the whole thing in quote brackets for visual appeal):

[VOTE: Sloonei] aubergine

Do you actually suspect me?

No. The above vote is a joke.

I asked directly whether or not he actually suspected me. "No" was his answer. Marmot does not suspect me. Noted.
So I followed up:

Sloonei wrote: ↑Wed Feb 28, 2018 5:29 pm Marmot, you placed a joke vote on me and then removed it. This leads me to believe you think I'm town. Why?

Why would this lead you to believe that I think you're civilian.

This and that are not the same thing.

I was lead to believe that you think I am civilian because you stated "no" when asked if you suspect me. Sure you can say I'm a null read. But I refuse to accept that at the juncture of the game in which this exchange took place, especially when I have ~142 posts. "No" suspicion for this player should indicate a town read, but Marmot won't commit to that stance. I'm really just trying to get him to follow up on the read he seemed to hint at earlier, but he refuses to do so.

Linki: Oops, got distracted by work. Meant to post this a while ago.

You had a chance to vote for me but did not. What is your read of me?

Currently, I think you're abstracting my vote for you into something bigger. I voted for you as a joke. That's it. I also don't understand what you mean by "I had a chance to vote for you". You're really reaching on this one.

I don't think I was reaching seeing as I was directly responding to a read you had hinted at a few minutes earlier. This seems like the marmot trying to weasel out of a read.

If I were to articulate my suspicion of Marmot in one word, it would be listless. It feels like he's going through the motions of being a townie, but without the direction or the emotion of a player who is genuinely trying to solve the game.

Vote Marmot, 2018.
