I think that's perfectly normal. Why should he acknowledge a Hufflepuff of all people?

Lol Epi. You’re in the wrong house.

Oh sorry, that's just something I do. Nobody complains when I don't thank them for birthday wishes.

Tell me about it. Not a dram of scotch in sight.

Lynching anybody Day 1 always feels bad and everyone seems so happy to be here. Soneji almost never shows up to play so I'ma vote there for now.

Yeah I've gotta be real with yall unless somebody outright fucks up and slips or somebody builds a damn good case, I'll probably default to a no-show as well.

Fuck that. Do some work first.

This right here.

Afraid to start any fires.

Boo. Bad.

I mean I'll put the work in where I can but I don't see a lot of meat being on the bone for Day 1 of a game this size.

Oh, Glorf is back? Cool.

So who’s going to ask Glorfindel if he’s bad?

I'm going to have essentially zero time until Tuesday night or Wednesday. While I'm not here y'all best find excuses to do work and not excuses to do fuck all. Epi's recent grumbles are valid.

[VOTE: Quin] aubergine, because he said some shit I didn't like earlier. He provided a token response to Epi's dig at juliets which just looked like "this is where I am supposed to interject with this here comment" instead of "this is a problem and I want to address it".

Didn't he ask us not to ask him that in some other game somewhere? I could be misremembering -

I like it. A lot of the fun of this game, and a lot of the crazy info and such, will come after night one. I for one would feel awful, on an out of game meta level, for not letting anyone have a go at a spell.

I mean, it could be a baddie tell if TH is motivated by in-game stuff, but I'm all in on lynching someone who isn't going to do anything with this swanky setup.

linki: Yes, please, leave Glorf to do glorfy things.

I know how you feel. When I'm scum I feel bad about lynching all the innocent townies too.

The funny thing with this game is we might get some magnificent ties. Because if you're on a townie lynch that goes through, your house looses 2 points. So especially on day 1 if I don't have a good scum read, I would rather be a single vote on someone who's not going to die.

I'd rather tank the house points and be the last person to dogpile on any given lynch. For reasons.

I was just looking back over everything Epi said to me and I came to the same conclusion. It seemed like a natural reaction. And I didn't feel Epi was "digging" at me so I'm somewhat confused by Jay on this vote.

Epignosis said you're not on his team. Regardless of his meaning, that can be perceived as an accusation (Epignosis is a civilian accusing juliets of not being a civilian). Quin seemed to recognize the distinction as intended, but went to Epi is a mafioso and is accusing juliets of being a civilian instead -- or at least that's the implication I draw from the tone of Quin's ponder emoji response. It's silly, almost to the point of saying "Epi slipped", and it looked fake.

Highlighted portion: why?

on what planet would epis post actually be a problem though

This Glorf talk reminds me of the presence of Veritaserum. This game has lie detection - can we lie-detect any post successfully, or are there restrictions? Some games have a rule that you can't LD answers to direct questions, to avoid everyone lining up and saying "I am a Civilian" as an automatic checkable phrase. Also, what happens when Glorf is given Veritaserum? Super-honesty?

I didn't have a "dig" at juliets.

My comment was that we are not mafia partners because I like to discuss things with my mafia teammates, and I "spoiled" something for juliets (even though I PUT THE DAMN THING IN SPOILER TAGS), so we are not bad together in BTSC.

You don't have to believe that, of course, but I threw it out there anyway.
