hey austin.. or whoever but austin I specifically want you to answer this... can you give me a recap of D1 with emphasis on people who were at least above the lurker threshold, but not one the main talking points of D1 because of sneaky reasons?
7:23 AM. CHINATOWN, IN A SMALL CZECH CITY ON RIGEL 4 (CZECHOSLOVAKIA HAS COLONIZED RIGEL 4, DEAL WITH IT).
Thread starts remarkably active. Grack trolling, VE looking decent, yamato looking decent, even oats posting a decent amount. A lot of not much happens, but VE comes out looking good from it and appears to be a mayoral frontrunner.
1/4 of the way through D1, rayn and HolyFlare get into a pooping contest. We confirm that both can, indeed, poop, and both can poop copious amounts. This is the first real big point of discussion imo, and the first thing that spawns some reads and a lot of chatter.
BC calls out grackaroni and storrzerg. This shifts the rayn/HF fight, which does continue somewhat, into some discussion of Grack, some discussion of BC. BC, prior to this post, hadn't done boatloads.
A lot of people are running for mayor but are their only vote. Onegu, me, alakaslam, I think a couple others. Otherwise, there is really very little movement on votes, people liked VE and yamato early, and while they haven't been terribly involved as of late, they remain the main two candidates. supersoft is also getting a couple votes, campaigning based on being a vet and wanting protection and usually dying early. While he is often making kinda asshole-y posts, the vast majority of folks find him townie.
That takes you probably to the halfway point. No MASSIVE action, but a decent start --> rayn/HF --> BC post would be my main highlights of the first 24 hours. There's a funky point where yamato outs LastMeow as having masoned him, with believable reason as to why LM would target yamato, but ... it's a strange time to just out someone like that and then drop it. That would be a minor happening to check out.
After that...there is relatively little movement in terms of votes. Supersoft picks up some more votes, and the voting is pretty clearly between yamato/VE/supersoft for mayor and pardoner. Some votes get moved towards the end, there are a lot of "I think yamato is town but want other dudes to have protection," including from me. I don't know yet if anything is to be gained from the votes, but there was a tiny bit of movement from maybe ~6 hours left onwards.
Otherwise, BC sort of slides off and doesn't do much. supersoft starts posting a little more, starts getting more people involved. VE disappears. BH makes a stupid tracker claim for very little reason, people poke around at it and fight over it --> pandain, rayn, maybe grack a little? Mig posts a spreadsheet of reads and a couple other things. Mocsta makes some strange cases on a couple people. Grack trolls slightly less, but still trolls. Spaghetticus is the only person to really get on VE's ass, writes a couple sizeable posts considering VE to be scummy, doesn't get lots of traction, but had a couple people talking about it.
There really just isn't oodles of note from D1. It wasn't...dead, but there weren't a lot of high impact points that I can recall.
As far as semi-lurkers, others may agree/disagree, but I would say you're looking at the lowest lowest super lurky tier being
Coag
Hiro Protag (you replaced)
Hopeless1der
Stutters (posted that he didn't know game started, 1-2 posts, gone)
LoneMeow (involved in masonry)
Cheesecake (i put him here)
The second tier of slightly less lurky people, who were maybe involved in a thing or two:
Mattchew
Sharrant (maybe)
Spaghetticus (maybe)
OOHCHILD
BH (really only involved in things he started)
People with some posts, but either I can't call to mind anything specific they really impacted OR they were involved in 1-2 discussions, somewhat heavily, and then were not too involved in anything else:
Sharrant (maybe goes here)
Vayne
Holyflare (maybe)
Oats (maybe)
Alakaslam (maybe)
It's kind of a normal big game with a lot of lurk and semi-lurk. There were only a few people standing opposed to each other during the day, rayn/HF, i think rayn/koshi for a bit, spaghett coming out strongly against VE, BC coming out strongly against grack.
As far as people who didn't get talked ABOUT in those lists, you're looking at Coag, LoneMeow (outside of masonry), Cheesecake, Spaghetticus, and probably a little oats/alakaslam. Most other folks got poked by someone, or were brought up occasionally by a bunch of folks as "dat dude lurks/hasn't done anything townie", or were serious momentary topics of discussion.
There's my too-long summary. Welcome to game. I wish I'd made this post more thematic and included scenes and timestamps and stuff about Czechoslovakia, but I didn't. Also, I think it's the Czech Republic and has been for...quite some time? I think I may be dating myself on calling it a different name. Boo.
