Pro tip if you’re going to use a notepad. Take a selfie with the notepad to prove you are really using it. Based on past experiences, this leads to victory 100% of the time.

What kinds of things does town K-Ness say?

Create a whirlwind of a thread by facilitating maximal activity. Ask questions, make comments, and hurl accusations at every opportunity. The thread needs to be a pressured and even stressful environment.

I ain’t got no time fo’ dat today so y’all get busy.

So in other words, "y'all get started and get the dirty work done and I will come back in here before the vote and make my assessment on which bandwagon I should jump on." Sounds bad to me. My first accusation is on YOU. Not only just this post. But, this post was given at12:54am. You then go on posting frequently until 3:08am. That is over 2 hours. And you have no time to ask questions, make comments, hurl accusations? There was no opportunity for that? Then you must have slept or something because you came back in the early pm posting exactly 9 hours later. At 1:48pm you talk about what you will do once you feel like actually playing the game. Again, you post frequently for 1 hour (1:48pm-2:42pm) not really saying anything. I do NOT like Jay in Mega-Man, I do not like him, Sam-I-Am.

Quin, don't let anything make you guess your coolness.

Nutella, saying things like "naw bish" doesn't make you cool. :P

And what is this love relationship going on between Mac and Nut?

Sloon, I doubt anything happened to Jay on Day 0. I think he was telling the truth.

Scumread.

Jack threw a scumread on me for a post I made before I had an alignment. I assume he did the same for others.

This gives me a townread on Jack.

Jack isn't the recruiter. I'll say that. I don't know about the rest of it since he may not have had an alignment at the time himself.

We were well into Day 1 when he started throwing these posts around. He had an alignment.

Sloonei, I am confused. Did Jack through out cum reads before or after alignments were given. I see a contradiction in your posts here.

Elohcin wrote: ↑Sat Sep 22, 2018 4:22 pm I just ready the post where Jay says he meant nothing happened in the thread. That is how I read it, but I still think nothing happened to him personally either. I am not sure anything happened to anyone on Day 0.

Being completely frank, I have some gut feelings on a couple of players, but I admit that I am not familiar with most of the players here. There are a few standout interactions that are pinging me, though.

Please share. Sometimes a fresh eye is what we need.

He’s played one game with me. I was a stencil-drawn factory-built version of JJJ with all of the fixings. To start this game I am nothing of the sort. He is still new enough to my play to genuinely wonder if this is my meta:

She called a speedchuck lynch on day 1 lazy (as though he, over anyone else, deserves to live longer than Day 1) and gave me some crap about how she didn't want him to be lynched because of the 'speedchuck is always bad' rhetoric. Nobody has brought up the speedchuck is always bad rhetoric.

She wants to save speedchuck for disingenuous reasons. Not sure if buddying or w/w, but she's bad.

I don't know what to do but I am working to remedy that. My workload may not be as much as it normally would be in a situation like this (I flooded the thread a little bit last night, but it was limited), and that's because of real life situations. I don't feel like I've gotten off the ground in this game yet, but I'm working on it. That's the best impersonal argument in my favor that I can think to offer. I'm trying to figure out what to do and I just want to be afforded the time to get there. It's always an awkward task when one is at the center of all the suspicion in the thread.

Additionally, I'm struggling to grasp the suspicions against me. It's always a little challenging in that I know my intentions for what they are, but I can't enter the minds of other people and see myself clearly through their eyes, but I'm having more trouble than usual here. Mac's suspicion, as I've noted, has been particularly frustrating because it doesn't even seem (from my perspective) to have a clear point of origin: it just exists, and it seems to have opened the floodgates for other suspicions given the strength with which he voiced the read early on. I didn't take it seriously at first, and I think this has negatively affected the way people are reading me. Nutella and Long Con (and everyone else, apparently) seem to have derived most of the suspicion from my couple of posts about Long Con, but to me that was just boilerplate Day 1 rhetoric and I'm stunned by the heat its brought on me. Maybe that's the issue: maybe it looked like I was just vomiting words into the thread so that I could look like Sloonei. I'd say it was more the case that I was trying to kickstart my own involvement. Lunalee presented a theory about LC at a time when I was having trouble forming any reads at all. I seized onto it because it was there and I wanted to use that as my point of entry into the game. It worked, in that it allowed everybody to vote for me. I'm here now.

I might assert that it isn't your overall handling of LC that has brought the most heat upon you, but rather one post. It's the one I criticized among numerous others. Do you not understand why that post is being viewed with concern?

I doubt Sloonei will be lynched today. There's no way this stays as-is for the next 19 hours.

This post looks a bit different than it did in my memory, but I still want to investigate it. I don't object to LC progressing down his list of reads to arrive at me. His ambivalence towards the pre-existing votes on me doesn't need to be a concern, but I can pick out a little bit of unease there. There is a hint of concern for the optics of the vote, or at least putting his suspect in danger of being lynched. I understand as much as anyone the concern with not wanting to overwhelm the poll in one particular direction too early, but that little note of hesitation before parking his vote on his top suspect gives me cause to question his mindset.

The second paragraph is the part that I recalled as a concern. "I doubt Sloonei will be lynched today." In my memory I conflated that as "I'd prefer not to be lynched today", which I'm not seeing as clearly anymore, though I can still detect a bit of that mindset. By downplaying the likelihood that I'm going to be lynched, he is in a sense nullifying this vote: I doubt Sloonei will be lynched today, therefore this vote doesn't matter. Combined with the step of hesitation before announcing the vote, I can read this whole thing, again, as scum carefully testing the scales to see if he can get it to tip one way, while also parking a safe vote on a player who's already widely-suspected.

This is all deep speculation and not a theory that I want to run with right now (look at me, carefully testing the scales), but when I look at LC's vote I have these lingering doubts and I figure I'm better off expressing them now, if for no other reason than to make my thoughts known. I still have him as a town read.

I'd prefer not to spend the rest of the phase defending myself though. Haters can hate. I'm a player, and players play.

There are several other people suspicious of you. You have been suspicious. Fart butter is a better description of your play than mine.

I refer only to your suspicion as fart butter. I’m not sure what its origins are or even what the main points are. You’ve just been highlighting posts of mine and saying “bad” because that worked in Ancient Greece. Nutella substantiated her read. LC did as well, even though I think part of that is a misunderstanding. Colin is bad. Jack’s a wildcard. You’re jusr dragging suspicion out of everything I say and it’s exhausting to try to address that at every point.

I stopped my analysis because i’m in school now and I have work to do and should also probably go to sleep at some point.

Nutella and LC substantiated their reads?

How much substantiation does a day 1 case require to not be fart butter?

Let's talk about Colin more because I agree with you.

There was no real structure to my ISOs. They were a result of my frustration and confusion, and my desire to actively involve myself in this game rather than spiraling into self-defense in all my posts. I just picked names that appeared to me and which I didn't have a firm read on already.

I remember it because it's what convinced me to sign up, recruitment being one of my favourite mechanics. I'll not bother quoting the opening post of the game that shows the main baddie picks four people to join his team during Day 0.

So, what is the method of catching someone on Day 1? Ask questions and hope someone slips up?

Create a whirlwind of a thread by facilitating maximal activity. Ask questions, make comments, and hurl accusations at every opportunity. The thread needs to be a pressured and even stressful environment.

I ain’t got no time fo’ dat today so y’all get busy.

When do you think the decisions on recruitment were made?

Going back to the LC discussion I find this to be one of the stranger questions he asks, because everyone knows when the decisions were made. Maybe not to the minute, but we can narrow it down to a specific 24 hour period.

Odd question considering it's pretty clearly four. Or five, if the recruiting bad guy is also a robot looking for robot friends. Either way, strange thing to ask.

I think there's merit to the idea of baddies feigning ignorance about the recruitment setup in order to appear innocent. Honestly, Quin's comment above strikes me as the most suspicious.

Straight up didn't see it. Did a CTRL+F search for 'recruit' and everything. Put it down to classic Quin incompetence
