If nova is bad, then that was a noob move.

My only concern is that nova has already demonstrated a...how shall I say...butterfingers of the communication.

You're several minutes behind buddy. I did think that briefly and do not anymore. I misinterpreted Jay's post. He often just says his hand slipped when he decides to change a vote.

I don't think this is a claim for role-based information. He used the word awkwardly to start a sentence ending with a mafia read on LC. It's Syndicate jargon tripping people up.

Idk man, could be that he didn't realize "no infodumping" was in the rules. I think the chance he's Chava is at least worth considering.

I moved my vote to Sloonei. I do not suspect Sloonei.

It's Day 3 though. He only had one read to offer, not two.

And his 10 posts in the last 8 hours compared to a mere 4 posts in the previous 5 days is alarming.

This isn't Day 1.

I doubt seriously nova was ever blocked.

That means he either missed a PM or a worded his sentence poorly.

Like I just did.

Putting my vote on NVN

I also have to leave now. If y'all aren't lynching me, put your votes somewhere where they matter. K thanks!

I think everyone who thinks LC is scum should vote him. I don't like this recent vote spreading. If we have scum LC we should make sure he's the one to go. Meow.

If you have a civilian LC, it's a wasted Day phase.

If you're satisfied with your vote, fine. I'm going to give the man time to say his piece.

I'm interested in these reads, NVN. You list them both as potentially being either mafia or 3rd party. what stands out about these two, and which do you think is more likely to be mafia, and which is more likely to be 3rd party?

I've been following their quarrel since the beginning of the game. There isn't a lot of substance behind it, it just felt like two scum going at each other and trying to gain Town credits by lynching a scum.
I'm leaning towards Macdougall being the Mafia and Marmot being the 3rd Party. I didn't like how he put his vote on Marmot early D1. His whole reasoning was based on the fact that he usually find Mafia that are missed by most people. He even admitted that Marmot's content read Town but his scum read was a gut feeling lol.

*looks at poll*

I think it's best to lynch Marmot. I've been re-reading the thread and my vote will be on him.

Well sometimes reads and targets changes. I don't know how that would make me scummy. I have 3 votes on me because of this.

Your reading and vote changing don't matter to me. Your reasoning does. Tell me about that.

Also, Judge Judy is Jewish. She cares about lots of people's roofs.

I honestly could and would vote for any of these three who have votes. I'm going to leave my vote on Marmot for now because I am happy to see any of them lynched and I'd like for him to remain a viable lynch.

Linki: Is the eyeroll because Marmot is good or because you think that post is very maphier?

Neither. His post says nothing about why his opinions have changed, thereby giving me nothing with which to understand his thought process.

novaselinenever wrote: ↑Mon Jan 22, 2018 10:46 pm I don't think I can share more than that at the moment.

Can you answer this question:

Why would you prefer to lynch Marmot over Long Con?

I'm moving to Long Con. I don't believe he's a civilian.

Alright, well I've been trying to keep up throughout the day while I was working. I took a nap when I got home and accidentally slept for three hours! :eep: I'm here now though, sorry guys. I'm going to try and post my thoughts about the people discussed today.

This day has been weird. Mac posted a request to read something about Marmot a while ago, I didn't at the time but I will go back and do that after I post here. Mainly because I don't quite understand why he is so sure of Marmot. I really haven't felt much of anything about Marmot. So maybe I'm missing something there. I'll post more on him once I read what Mac has said.

I would like to say I suspect Kyle, because everyone seems to think he and I are equally suspicious based on our actions, but I just don't. Everything Kyle says reads like sincere Kyle to me. Lorab's flip didn't change that. And the fact he isn't swung by self preservation just to say "It must be Daisy" either just makes me feel that much more like he is sincere and trying to find actual baddies.

I don't think Mac is bad, despite Marmot's no u. :shrugs:

This leaves me with LC. The thing I can't get past is Epi's case about the vote LC placed yesterday coupled with the fact Lorab didn't vote to save herself. I can't think of a single good reason not to vote to save yourself if you are in a lynch tied with a civ. No one would think less of someone who casts a self preservation vote. So why didn't she?

NVN, I don't know what to think of him. Nothing and then a bunch of posts in self defense. I didn't even think he (? correct me if I am wrong) was even actually playing. I was actually kind of worried the stuff in the early game had driven him off. I would say he would be a second suspect for me, the timing of the sudden activity combined with the voting shenanigans has me questioning. I still think I feel more confident in LC though. I mean if NVN were bad, he could have kept right on laying low and it would have taken a while for PoE to get to him. I don't know. LC is more suspicious to me.

I'm going to go ahead and put a vote on LC and then go back and look at Mac's case again.

*Votes LC*

Now y'all went back to LC before me and I look like the tag-a-long.

I'm confused, I thought I remembered Mac posting a case he wanted us to read and tell him our opinions on it. But now I can't find it so I am wondering if I have mixed him up with someone else.

voting LC cus I just got involved in this cool questline and I don't want to get distracted and miss the vote

though if today is like the other day LC might be getting off work soon so I will try to return and see his defenses.

When in Rome

Well actually it's 45 minutes now.

So LC you are suggesting we lynch the person with the supposed fake info today.

I'd rather lynch you today and if you civ flip then we question said person? That way we don't lynch a useful civ player like idiots.

I see only one role with the guarantee of being provable (other than those which would render the tally irrelevant), the triple voter. That one shouldn't require tomorrow.

Otherwise it's the BTSC dude, begging a fortunate target -- otherwise no proof.

They were a bit chummy and silly early in the game. Otherwise the interaction is focused on LC's resistance to your suspicion of Marmot. They're compatible technically, though I do think it'd be a connection LC would entirely expect people to draw.
