EPTBut lol, don't really want to wait for 12 indefinitely. Think it's more likely for us to lose players as time goes on than gain them.

Pretty quick to start up the "us" against scum mentality there HTS. What your post should have read: I AM TOWN I AM TOWN I AM TOWN because that's what's screaming between the lines Why so anxious to imply that? | ||

which is actually less an implication and more an outright statement given my question.aren't you interested in the answer, ls? | ||

Seems like that's reading into things quite a bit more than is reasonable. I'm much more highly suspicious of you for trying to through some nonsense suspicion on someone else. Lol, I was just curious about her softing town with all the possessive "we" and "us" pronouns. Asking questions is not the same as being suspicious or throwing scum on others. Besides, I'm not the accomplished liar here, ExO_. Three guesses and the first two don't count who that is. Nice to see you joining the discussion though. @HTS...of course I'll mention anything that I notice. This isn't like where I've played with them, though, so I'm going to avoid being too quick to point fingers. | ||

Shining and ExO_ for sure...not certain if some of these other names are hiding people or not cause Damdred posted a thread advertising this place. JarJar I've played with, too. He's also my brother. And I invited my friend, Silverarte, but she's never played before and I have no idea how she would go about playing the game lol. | ||

Damn straight I'm town, but here's the thing - It's one thing to be town, but it's another to step up and do something about it. And that's what I was driving at. We have a lot of new players in this game, most have not played a game here, so we definitely need to see how things pan out. If you know any information Rasputin on any of the players you've played with in some of your other non-TL games (since it seems you've recruited a few of them here), give us a shout. Fair enough, for now. I do expect you to be a super gung-ho scum-hunting townie based on this post, though. Don't let me down. | ||

If you're implying that I'm bluehunting, though, not sure what you're basing that comment on apart from paranoia. Care to enlighten us? | ||

@Silverarte - super Cheshire grin primed and ready. More to the point, you still haven't clarified your post. So it was about HTS...but what exactly is it that you are wondering? @Exo - putting JarJar's excuses on the same level as Trfel's because of insider information (he really does have a broken computer and he did give me his disgusting cold when he came to visit for the holidays). Which means they could easily both be hiding behind excuses, but the excuses themselves are probably legitimate. That said.. @JarJar - step it up, you jokester, you. I know you're good at this game when you want to be, sniffles or no xP @Waffle - just help keep an eye on HTS to make sure she follows through on her scum-hunting braggadocio and doesn't slide beneath the radar later...bit early to claim she's not living up to expectations right now I think @Tube - better entrance than last game. same approach. gonna echo HTS and ask if you're getting anything out of the limited back-and-forth so far | ||

i am female. i just never correct ppl misreading me as a guy, especially since my gender is insignificant to these games xP more importantly, i like the work you put in celeste, despite the read on me. exo seems okay so far this game...and i also find shining's drive by post interesting. im interested to see if he plans on following up. trfel is right about hts which is why i jumped; ill keep prodding if im not satisfied. not much to go off of yet...more thoughts or prods after work | ||

Celeste...I don't think I'll be lynching you Day 1. That's a lot of work to come from scum, whether I agree with your reads or not (and as it's already been stated, my reads are historically far from godly). Kind of early to worry about night kills, though. Some people I do have concerns about and why: - Shining. Probably my strongest (read: only) scum read (though I still wouldn't call it strong, just not much to work with so far). It's actually not for the reasons y'all have mentioned, though. + Show Spoiler + On January 05 2015 10:44 The Shining wrote: On one hand, I can see why [font color=green]Soultin[/font] thought it a bit hasty for [font color=red]HTS[/font] to jump into the us vs scum mentality.

Blah. Says things without really saying anything. I colored the names to reflect the alignment implications in his post, which as you can see flip-flopped. He took no definitive stance, neither on the behaviors nor the players. After this initial post and further waffling on HTS and myself, he conveniently adopts Celestial's explanation for why he thought my behavior was blue-hunting. Perhaps they were truly thinking the same thing, but it seems an awfully convenient out, since Shining has actually played enough to know that probing for alignment on Day 1 is better than sitting on your hands hoping mafia just says something scummy unprompted and unpressured to fill the proverbial silence. That said, this post gives me pause: + Show Spoiler + On January 06 2015 09:44 The Shining wrote: Thank you for clearing that up for me, HTS. The main reason I thought you were suspicious was it felt you overlooked it and were more concerned with focusing me. However, ExO saying you're definitely not a Day 1 lynch is something I'll keep in mind going forward... After ExO's last post, I'm honestly not convinced and actually much more suspicious of him. His first post was attacking Rsoultin. Instead of waiting to see if he can figure out anything from other posts, his next post is another attack on Jar Jar, which also lead to a Jar Jar fast vote. Then, in the same post that he attacks WarWaffle for stating that he had reads but didn't share them, he gives Tubesock a pass for not giving reads because they'll be crappy reads. Also, he says he needs to see more people posting and sharing thoughts but he's only got 4 posts or so in that time, as well. His last post was the attack and quick vote on LS. That is twice in 1 day he has quick voted for people with 0 follow through. Why isn't he more curious about Jar Jar not defending his lynch? He was also suspicious of me. As Town, I'm a bit hesitant to vote a lynch and mistakenly kill another town or power role. Him voting left and right makes it seem like he doesn't care who dies. If anyone's getting my vote right now, it's ExO. I think that the lack of follow-through on posts is a good point on the surface. However, if you go back through ExO's filter, he does explain his reads, asks questions and moves on when he is satisfied. His explanations for voting early also make sense. It has not escaped me that the people Shining is scumreading are those who have scumread him...HTS did, then suddenly she seems more scummy, ExO did and now he's scummy. That said, I can see town doing that and being uncertain of his reads in the beginning. Shining, do you have some original thoughts? Despite the volume of your posts, I'm not really seeing much other than borrowed explanations, waffling, and faulty logic that even borders on misrepresenting the player you're reading. - JarJar. I know him, though, so I also know he'll be more comfortable with voting analysis than trying to tone read or analyze semantics. He definitely needs to try harder to find scum Day 1 without the pretty numbers to help, though. - Tubesock. The fact that he started with policy when he was scumread for that last game actually makes me lean town on him just because you'd think he'd be more concerned with his image if he were scum. The problem is...we're over 24 hours in and all I see is a post about policy lynching. | ||

Meh, me and my constant coding issues. Pretend it worked xP On January 06 2015 11:05 Tubesock wrote: I would like to talk more about Exo. I am starting to think he's looking for stuff to nitpick on and throwing mud around to see what sticks. Take the scum read on me and LS were based largely on lack of confidence in D1 reads. Yet, most the thread has mentioned or alluded to the reality that D1 reads are anything but easy. Also in something like 4 of his posts, they each have a new scum read, there doesn't seem much effort to mature them seems more casting a wide net as it were. You are scumreading the guy who scumread you for not posting anything of use in approximately 24 hours. Have to respectfully disagree on the lack of progression and the "mature" or "deep" reads argument for Day 1. If anyone has a strong scumread on anyone right now I'd be shocked. He said why he was okay with me, didn't explain why he left off JarJar, but accepted Shining's explanation. There is a logical progression there apart from JarJar who would arguably be a policy lynch if he was the lynch tomorrow anyway. Do you have any other reads? | ||

We are still on page 13, if this were Carol it would be like 40. I think the real juice will come tomorrow, when people get more pressure to actually find people to vote. Is the Shining your vote if we had to have it in a couple hours vs tomorrow? All things remaining equal (and until LS explains the basis for his townreads; I have a suspicion but will let him answer) yes. If I had to vote today based on the information so far it would be Shining. Who would you vote for? | ||
