For the player who asked (if you meant me) I'm usually quiet in the first couple of days because I'm so busy reading people and making notes. But I tend to come out of my shell a bit by night 2-day 3ish. The impressions I'm gathering mean nothing to me at this point, but might later on. I doubt they would mean anything to anyone else either, but I will share them if anyone wants me to.

I was referring to metalmash when I said "Meta". Sorry for the confusion

I agree with SVS, while I did read the entirety of DH v Epi and Ace v Trice, I think it would help me during a reread if i knew where the arguments were going while reading. Personally, I feel like DH and Trice are arguing past each other on the "Good" remark, so if a third party could reframe that, both for my own understanding, and the mutual understanding of Dh and Trice, that'd be awesome.

Not a ping, but honestly, I expected Llama to take a bigger role in conversation thus far.

Epi, You said that ace is normally a quiet player, having never played with him, can you elaborate further?

also, play style reads on DP, Meta, Zomba, Boo, Trice, and Snowman would be nice if someone would like to offer them.

Same TBH

If DH and aces manage to lynch me, I hope everyone notes what I've been saying when I roll civ

If not, I hope everyone notes what I've been saying when I inevitably get NK'd by them

I have to take exception to this comment. You were bad in Donner and about to be lunched and you didn't say anything for pages and pages (i.e., you laid low quite well). However, that would mean that since you are acting differently here, that you are now good. But if you are good, why would you say something that wasn't true if you didn't have to? Something seems not right. I feel manipulated.

DH – You freak me out! But it sounds like that is normal. I am not a fan of your L/Light poll vote.

This is the only read on a player that I'm confused about, because I actually noted bea supporting several times on D0-D1 the on-topic arguments by players such as boo or SVS and has discussed yesterday a bit with me and SVS regarding several low posters. So why did you see only "jokey and off topic" posts?

Zomberella12 wrote:Okay – so here’s my thoughts based on all my reading and what little I know about players from the Donner game.

Ace – Seems to be hunting baddies. Is it to kill them or not kill them? I don't see him being this aggressive when bad
Bass – Sick family so I won’t vote for him. Ditto, same for Roxy
Bea – Posts seem jokey and off topic. I don’t know what that means though. It means she's Bea <3
Bird – No opinion. Would like to hear his thoughts
BlackRock – Only one post. I can’t find it. I agree with SVS that baddies might not want to post. Her & LC are quiet across the board, but would like to hear more from them
Boo – I liked Boo’s analysis of the Day 0 poll. I will not be voting to lynch Boo. Ditto
Boomslang – No opinion. I know he has been somewhat active, but I need to reread him
DH – You freak me out! But it sounds like that is normal. I am not a fan of your L/Light poll vote. DH is a force of nature at times; scary but amazing, lol.
DP – Your posts are few but packed with mystery. I don’t have a feel if you are good or bad and I think that might be how you like it. Never thought of it that way, but that is a good analysis of DP in general
Elo – No opinion. Looking to reread myself today
Epi – It seems like everyone thinks that you are a trouble maker. I don’t get that vibe, plus I like how much you care about using correct grammar in your posts. I will not be voting to lunch you today. He is a troublemaker and one of the few people I think capable of making a HUGE bluff. Doesn't mean he made one, though. But always worth watching.
FZ – I LOVE your analytical mind. I won’t vote to lunch you unless I have a really good reason to suspect that you are bad, and I don’t. FZ is a reread for me, only becasue I tend to agree with her when we're both civ, and I need to see where we are vis a vis each other. Due to the big one on one matches the past few days, she is one of several who have fallen through the cracks for me.
Juliets – No opinion. I know she was out of town for a day or two.
Lon Con – No opinion.See Black Rock
Made – Your avatar makes me laugh and your analysis reminds me of FZ’s. No worries for me here.
Matahari – No opnion. Her self characterization as a slow starter is fairly accurate iirc; and she does read everything. My opinion of her will be based on HOW she reads it.
MM – You seem different in this game then you did in Donner but that might just be because Donner was a different kind of game and you got killed first. Ditto; his bit of a hissy after a passing mention in a thread full of craziness got my eye
Rico – It looks like you chilled out a little. I like that you took my advice. Knows a lot about canon, and so far seems to have opinions somewhat in alignment with my own. I like that
Roxy – Hey! No opinion. <3 See Bass
Russ – No opinion. Really? Did you see the thing Epi said about him not posting? He has not made one post, but he did vote yesterday.
SVS – You seem to take the role of ‘game therapist.’ Always helping everyone get along and feel good about themselves. This is done more for myself than them, lol. Mafia is a weird pastime for someone who stresses over conflict
Snowman (my husband) – Always paying a game within the game. No opinion yet.
Spacedaisy – It is weird that you went back and forth on the Normal – L/Light vote. I think Daisy would have worried more about how things looked if she were bad, and would not have made a drive by of sorts.
Llama – You don’t seem to be posting very much. Ture. I would like to see more confrontational tunnelvision from Llama in order to feel civ feels about him.
Tricer – You did get defensive once someone mentioned you. He did. I started a reread last night, will finish today
Turnip – No opinion. Ditto, and that concerns me. Since, unlike LC & BR he has been present.
Zomba – You seem totally non-bad to me. Ditto.

Now that I’ve laid it all out I’m gonna post it and see who says what.

I'll offer my insight and contribute what I can, but I don't see the "discussion" coalescing around anyone in particular. All I see is argument ad nauseum around the D0 poll.

I'm happy to see so many involved, but how do you find so much to talk about when literally nothing has happened yet? The most earth-shattering event so far is the realization that Russ hasn't posted anything.

Am I on your list?

No. I like you.

In fact, so that no one accuses me of being opportunistic or jumping onto other people's cases, I'll name the quartet now:

Ricochet, Turnip Head, spacedaisy, and FZ.

Why these four?

I believe Ricochet was being deceptive in his Day 0 questions. I think he was pretending to be clueless. He is not clueless. He is very smart. Even he knew that Simon Railton belong in the Eclectic category but sucked beyond belief! I think Ricochet is bad.

Turnip Head? TH has been boring beyond belief. Also I think he is tied to another player.

spacedaisy voted Day 0 and didn't say why. I think spacedaisy is bad with FZ. FZ. also has been absent. I think these two are unsure of what to say.

I don't think your silenced theory will check out, though, for various reasons. In fact, one of it is that BWT just posted, out of three players who didn't so far in D1 (but did vote, at least, on D0). So with just two players or possibly just Russ being inactive, we can't form a solid theory on a type of character/role who'd go "undetected" (i.e. silent) in the thread. That would only lead to lynching Russ simply because he's inactive.

birdwithteeth11 posted on Day 0. Russ hasn't posted at all. These are two different scenarios. Russ was also here, in this thread.

I wouldn't try to dissuade me from voting Russ today, if I were you, because then I'd have to vote for someone else of whom I am suspicious.

*Alex since I don't care about Death Note spoilers, can you (or someone else) PM me what the episode "silence" is about? * dont' want to ruin it for anyone who actually cares about the show

birdwithteeth11 wrote:Okay. That was a little intense. But I think I have a pretty good idea of what direction(s) I'm leaning towards for this lynch.

Definitely not Epig and DH. I read all that shit twice (thanks for that you fools :P), and I need time for it to absorb into my brain. Needless to say, I don't see anything for either of you, or boo for that matter, that makes me think anything other than "This is just DH/Epig/boo being DH/Epig/boo".

Aces I'm okay on. I was gung-ho to vote for him, until I went back and actually read his reasoning on the Day 0 vote. And then it became pretty clear that Trice took his post entirely out of context by quote-snipping. Given the way that Trice continues to hold onto his IMO fairly weak case, plus taking someone out-of-context, plus making a lot of posts that don't really contribute anything until Aces went and brought Trice up, I could see myself potentially voting for Trice today.

Daisy I feel good about for now. I think her fly-by vote would have been more suspicious if she'd come back in and tried to keep justifying her vote. But since she already had, I can give her a pass.

Bass I do not feel good about. He feels like the type of low-poster who is doing just enough to fly under the radar, but still seem like he's paying attention. I'd feel bad voting for someone that can't be around to defend themselves, but I could be pressed to vote in his direction if I decide to go the route of voting a low-poster.

So I'd say right now, I'm considering a vote for either Trice or bass. I'm sure I might have forgotten some other thoughts with how much I just read, but feel free to ask questions for me if you want my opinion on something else.

Linki: Look forward to hearing your insights, BR!

What about Turnip Head? Maybe you should think about voting for him... maybe.
