I think it is a bad look. It hints at her being withdrawn and uninspired again.

Would you vote for her? This is the most trepidation I've seen from you regarding indi, but haven't yet seen you pull the trigger.

I would now. Initially I thought you two looked similar because neither of you seemed to be putting in a lot of effort after subbing in. I thought you looked the worst of the two, but you're completely fipping that theory on its head now.

indi and wilgy seem to be pretty universally suspected. I am confident that we can find at least one baddie between the two of them.

Umm. I did.

Quin is purely a gut read like I said in the post you quoted.
I think you are suspicious based on my feeling that indi is bad, as I said a few posts ago

I've been on the fence about her most of the time. I see the case against her but I've had a hard time deciding whether or not her frustration comes from a townie or a scum point of view. Her vote today is the strongest evidence that it's a scum perspective that I've seen all game, and that has put me over the edge in terms of suspecting her. I am fully willing to vote for her today. I just wish either her or Wilgy were here to address some concerns, as they seem to be everyone's top suspects.

Even if we are right about those two, there still remains a third bad guy who we'll need to find.

Why does her Wilgy vote seem bad to you? Is it the choice or the lack of justification behind it?

As for her frustration, I initially wanted to read it as civ. The fact that her personality did a complete 180 is proof enough for me that the frustration was genuine, at least. But now I don't think I can justify civ reading it when she's not given me a more concrete reason to read her as good.

JaggedJimmyJay wrote:That's just a bit too speculative for my comfort, Matty, regarding what INH may or may not have done with any night actions in his period of frustration. If Silvertongue saved INH, and INH himself wasn't the one to do that -- I can only see one other player in this game who'd be likely to take that action: you. And I only say that now because you're currently promoting the notion that it wasn't him.

I don't recall anyone having enough trust in INH to make that decision. I myself was far from certain about him flipping mafia, but I still wouldn't have stopped the lynch if I could have. I felt it was something we needed to get past. If someone else did save him though don't take this as an admonishment.

I've never gotten this type of reception. Even when I've subbed in for a baddie who slipped up, and I come in as the clean up man. Now that's a tough situation to sub into. This is just an annoying situation to sub into.

Car post. From the passenger seat. There doesn't seem to be much to talk about. Maybe a good opportunity for someone with more time to ISO a high content swing player like MacDougall. Or Glorfindel, since suspicion on him seems to be semi-consistent but also vague.

I'd like to revisit LoRab, Dom, and Mac later when I'm not absorbed in a baseball game or at work. I've mostly been going off of gut for those three without giving them much of a substantial look.

I feel better about Scotty today but the combination of him + sprityo still has not done enough to win me over.
I think we all agree that Wilgy and indiglo are suspects. indiglo seems to be the more popular of the two. I'm fine with either one.

Quite a lot of civ reads there, Sloons. Seeing as I know I am good, I'm wondering how you'll start weeding out some of those green daffodils from the rest.

I'm also surprised you still haven't changed your vote. Why would make you move your vote to indi like you say you might?

So yeah, it was like after midnight when I posted that response to Epi. Maybe that's why it seems lifeless. Last night was my monthly ladies night out and I didn't come home until I had my fill of caramel apple sangria.

I cannot even remember what emoji I used. Wait....I do remember. Was it was "I'm wacko" one ...I think so. That emoji makes me think of someone being crazy and silly with their post/vote. I actually didn't even look to see he ACTUALLY voted for me. I thought he was kidding at the time. Maybe I ought to vote him back But probably not as I might be voting to save myself with it being so close and all.

I know nothing of this show, so JJJ is confusing me a bit. I may vote him. It seems a little 'trying too hard' to come in here role play like that right off the bat. Like he is trying to win us over. What do y'all think? And this is not WIFOM talking...whatever that is. I never understood that term completely. but you all seem to use it for when you go after someone who has gone after you? I don't know.

I'll hold off on voting for now.

Oh my goodness! I was thinking days were 24 hours for some reason! I thought I got my vote in like 3 minutes before the bell!!! I wake up this morning looking hard for a host post and everything. GAH! I'm gettin' OLD. Someone save me!!

Okay, I have like 2 pages to catch up on. I am busy today, but I will get there eventually.

Don't be surprised if I cast a sudden and silent vote near the end of the day. I do that sometimes at work and people always freak out about it.

You said if it was true that I thought it was a 24 hour Day 1 that you wouldn't look at me as bad. Then you say you're moving your vote back to me. What gives?

But MacDougall had more votes than BWT when Eloh voted, yes?

I only skimmed this AM, I will read back to when I told Rico I was going to step back when I get home in about 1.5 hours.

No, they both had two votes. And I thought it was like 3 minutes til EoD!

LoRab wrote:Epi expressed suspicion of Elo earlier, which interests me because they read each other well. Would love for him to elaborate on his thoughts.

I seriously thought his actions were a joke or trying to get a rise out of me or something. I think my reaction was what would determine his thoughts of me. Too bad I had to react after midnight after several drinks (when I don't drink often at all). It probably is what started me off on the wrong track for this game.

Now, as for my vote today (Day 1 ) I can see where scotty can be bad. I am moving my vote there. I don't want to vote BWT if I don't have to. Hate to lose a possible civ position even if it's a quiet one.

I knew you had nothing on me. Now I am a top suspect b/c you decided to be silly and call out my name. Thanks a lot, bub.

GTH good.

I have barely read the thread though. What do you think of Mac Declining my invite to team up?

These represent his first real posts in the game. On the one hand I want to like that he's able to produce a GTH read on the spot, but on the other I can't like it too much since he discredits himself by being honest and telling us he hasn't read the thread. This post does nothing for me.

DrWilgy wrote:

a2thezebra wrote:What is your strongest read at the moment, considering that you haven't fully caught up?

Baddie Rico with potential as Mac temmie.

I don't think Rico is the type to lose sight of what would gain him advantage in the game for a policy lynch.

What do you think was the most interesting exchange so far?

He's at least loosely on the Rico bandwagon here. I don't like that, but he did give a reason to feel that way so it's not the worst. What I do like is his question. I thought it was a good early game, looking-to-get-involved type of question. This brief appearance is what I was referencing earlier when I said I gave him an early town read. When he came in here it looked like he was genuinely trying to both get himself involved and get others thinking about things in the game.

DrWilgy wrote:

a2thezebra wrote:DrWilgy, do you have any other gut and/or vibe-based reads you would like to share?

The only other player that I have thought about is Sprityo, whom I gut read as bad.

I like your analysis of Rico. I'd like an answer from Rico as to why he thought to interject here. Not sure if this has been explained yet or not, but I'm not willing to go back and check.

Zebra, how would you respond to me voting Rico right now?

Sloonei, mind telling me the exchange that interested you most?

He lists sprityo as an early baddie read. I'd be interested to hear how that's developed. He also gave me and LoRab gut scum reads. I think he's since dropped the read on me,and his LoRab read seems to have been dependent on Rico being bad as well.

Turns out that his most substantial post in the game to this point is a big one about why LoRab is bad. Interesting. I don't think it's all consistent. For instance, the second to last point he makes in this post indicates that a certain post of LoRab's was directed toward him, when it was really directed at Jay.

So I dunno. There's not much here. There are a few things that give me slight town vibes in his post history but nothing overwhelming. A lack of content is always going to be a concern, so I can't do much with Wilgy right now.

I could explain that this was in the middle of a schedule-packed part of my life, but that's an excuse. There's really not a great reason for what I said. It was stupid, petty, and dumb.

I'm catching up with the thread now, and will comment on anything that grabs my attention.

The silvertongue character can stop a lynch not necessarily "save a person". I don't understand who as town, and silvertongue is town, would have wanted to stop that lynch except for INH. But I want to hear what INH thinks.

If it wasn't him, I don't think silvertongue would have to hide that they had stopped the lynch by contributing to the INH wagon or caring about the EOD tie. Im saying this cos Glorfindel was awfully slow acting (at least what it seemed to me) when he arrived and saw a tie - so I was thinking he could have PM'd the mod then and went to stop the lynch before getting into voting but that doesn't make much sense. So it would be someone off-wagon.

But I want to hear what INH thinks.
