One thing is for sure..at least one scum is in these people..
Trundle
Seroja
Geoni
Antonio
Dinotown
Arstotzkan (Kat)
Because what is a possibility of an all newbie scum team?
Bianca if you had to vote someone who has posted on this current page who would you choose and why?
i don't think bianca ever answered this fyi
i don't think i was ganging up on dinotown, i just find her incessant focus on talking about herself and her mannerisms tiresome and counter-productive. at first i found it suspicious and i pressed on that; i'm still not townleaning on her at all but as the discussion has moved on and we've explored other avenues it's taken a backseat for me. not against re-visiting it though. i disagree with you saying the newbie card isn't being played
i never said you were scum, i explicitly said that i'm not scumreading you right now. there's no conclusive list of what indicates scumminess and what doesn't, and i don't think it's good enough to be asking other players to validate your reads for you before you come out and say them. if you played so well in the last game, be more confident about how you feel / what is striking you as off now
what're your thoughts on dino now?
I would vote for any within (DinoTown, epona, Arstotzkan, voltairenism) today, which is a big range I will likely narrow down. I think there could potentially be 2 mafia in that list.
which two could be teamed and why? also here trundle notes sus on volt but doesn't try to bring it up as another lynch option aside from kat
No scumleans yet because honestly nobody stood out as scum so far. I don’t like scumleaning peeps without suspicions .
do you have scum leans now? if you till think kat wasn't town, who could she be teamed with?
Well, as you know I think you are mafia so I think epona is the town and you are the mafia from my current point of view. However if you were to flip town I would have some heavy suspicions on epona.
I mean you exactly made my point. If you are town and epona is mafia, epona exactly fits into the category you just described.
honestly a bit weird to just bunch the two together. also trundle doesn't really further pursue this thought
i think seroja's comments about arstozkhan effectively coaching teddy in the thread are interesting. as above, i don't think she'd be that blatant because tunnelling in on teddy was pretty noticeable, but at the same time there are a lot of newer players in this game and she wasn't honing in on anybody else's prior experience so it does seem a bit random. i'm still very doubtful that it's a teddy/arstozkhan team tho lol
i don't really find kat's questioning of teddy's play style to be unusual. teddy made some very off claims like trusting everyone before suspecting them and staying reserved for the long run, and I think any experienced player like kat (and even me) would've called him out on that
currently, i think the only person i'm actually comfortable with lynching is voltairenism. their contribution has been lacklustre at best and it still comes off as coasting to me. i know i'm flitting back and forth on this one a bit, but i think it's a fairly big possibility they're a less confident portion of a scumteam doing the bare minimum to come across as active and pro-town
its odd you single out volt while players like bell and bianca arguably had even less of a presence at this point
After having looked over the Teddy+Kat convo again, it certainly seems weird to me and I'd be fairly confident in saying either one is mafia, but I'm a little wary on which way it actually would go. Kat seems bad for going on for way too long and asking so many questions, but Teddy's answers aren't looking the best either. I think it might be better to just keep an eye out for now.
dino shouldn't really mention teddy much after this. what're your thoughts on him now?
I'm just saying I see the logic in it as it stands. I'm not offering a defense because the criticism is valid, and I'm not just gonna sit here and be like "yall should lynch not me" because that's stupid and unhelpful, and if I'm gonna say that, I better have someone in mind. And... I don't.
very flawed logic here. kat never really pushes the possibility for another lynch. while saying "don't lynch me im down" is a bad defense, she could've tried to bring up another counterwagon. i don't know why shed let a mislynch on her happen so easily if she's town unless she gave up for personal reasons. even then she should called for a replacement if she didn't want to play the game. super out of character when she even said how excited shed be
So I think Antonio is mafia, so that's why I say that, when they decided on their night action, if I am mafia as they think I am, they will find out during this cycle. In werewolves you awake at night when you are one, that's where my phrase comes from.
Antonio is scum, said that since they said I was mafia, so if they really believe I'm on their team, they will find out during the night cycle, because we will be "awake".
what're your thoughts on antonio now? again you don't really bring up your sus on antonio and kinda just vote kat for no real clear reason
i'm just writing this off as a townslip for now lmao
i wouldn't be so quick to believe a township
since I believe you are scum and you believe I'm scum. So yes I used the wrong words there, but if that puts me on the towns list I'll take it.
why are you okay with someone you sus town reading you? you should be worrying about being townread and be further pushing antonio. this post feels really off to me
Yes, I am a bit butthurt btw, because I still think no one is talking about mayorleaf and their unreasonable sus about everything and everyone and just making a fuss. Maybe I don't agree with their voting to get reactions, they strat just seem all over the place and not making any concrete arguments. Dinotown defensive stance is weird and I think we are not getting anywhere with questioning Teddy's wording. It's quite the safe bet for an attack, tbh. And I understand Teddy's struggle of not being a native english speaker and having an weird disconnect persona, but I'm hoping I'm not bringing him down with me.
volt never gives into the kat wagon and states that he wants to pursue others (particularly mayorleaf and why). because he was new (and overwhelmed) and scumread by a few people, i doubt he alone could've led a counter wagon for mayorleaf. it was pretty townie behavior imo and he seemed to have been trying his best
ok im trying to give you my impression. you know i am so bad at day 1 reads!
already a bad beginning, she's already downplaying her reads
- bell accont- hmmm..I've seen them makes posts but it didn't leave impression on me. Could be scum
- mayor leaf- she reminds me of me when she voted early on. she seems townish but scum could be lurking underneath
- seroja- Seroja will always appear towny to me unless- something happens that will make me suss of her. nothing yet so far but I am putting her as null because that's just me- paranoid
- voltairenism- his posts seems random and just all over the place.
bianca (kinda?) susses these people but never pushes any of them and votes for mayorleaf when in this reads posts its unclear why she preferred her over the others
I'm still not entirely convinced I wanna vote Kat. Given Teddy's recent posts, I am feeling it's more likely that Kat/Teddy is maf/town then town/maf but I still don't think I've seen enough to vote yet. Of course, they can both post before EoD and that content might change my mind.
dino ultimate joins the kat wagon even though she was hesitant to because of her role name? why didn't she bring up the possibility for a teddy lynch when it seems she had stronger feelings on him
Before we decide on a lynch, we have to decide what kind of information would the lynch provide because if the lynch doesn't provide much information, what's the point of lynching? I understand voting who you think is scum but we are in still in the early phrase of the game so we have a pretty big chance of voting off someone who is town.
this point subtly implies that no lynching could've been a valid option, but doesn't again bring up that possibility and votes over a role name
You called me out for using meta and then you used meta. Isn't that hypocritical?
However, I still believe we should not incorporate meta this early in the phase. My question still stands regarding who you voting for.
haven't you said in many games that meta means nothing? it seems you're okay with it being used later on
Voting for Volt, in the grand scheme of things, likely wouldn't do much. I don't see many people coming to Volt's defense, actually, more likely my vote being the start of a wagon (assuming I'd be the first vote, given there currently are no votes for Volt.) considering what people have said about being okay to vote Volt. Maybe not a wagon big enough to cause a lynch with the Kat wagon to play, but still. Who voted Volt would be useful if a lynch did happen and Volt flipped town - especially if anyone chose to vote Volt because they didn't want to vote Kat (maf buddies trying to protect?). If Volt was lynched and flipped red, however, I'm not sure if I'd be able to pinpoint any notable interactions between other players as to who might be teamed up, since, like I said, no-one really seems to be particularly sided with Volt for much. If there was no lynch on Volt, I think who voted the same as me wouldn't be useful information until later into the game.
again, dino shows to have stronger feelings on volt and teddy, but ends up coping out to the kat wagon. she doesn't try hard to actually get volt lynched and i think they could've if there was a strong push for it
Being Donald Trump means nothing since it's not like "I'm Jester" or "I'm vanilla town" or something like that, you're claiming a name, not a role, not any abilities.
ok here i realized she actually didn't know green meant VT ill give her that. still feels pointless to bold your name in a color if you weren't claiming a role
If anything, how does Donald Trump fit compare to all the other role claims?
I'm a Red Billed Oxpecker but I don't know how that matches up to Donald Trump of all things.
of all the current claimed names, your name makes the least amount of sense with the theme. with your reasoning, you're more likely to be non town than kat's name was. I don't care about role names but im pointing out that you trying to find a theme is pointless
does that make anything any clearer? no
this roleclaiming is not helping us at all and is literally just distracting us from choosing who to lynch, which we need to do in the next two hours.
wait a minute, why is everyone telling their role names now? for what reason? the fact that Kat could just came in, drop her role name and bail out isn't convincing me that she's trying to save herself at all and that is not very protown. I'm inclined to think that she's scum and isn't going to even try.
crews for epona, seroja, and mayorleaf for recognizing how weak the role name theme logic is. i guess epona didn't know the meaning of using the color green, but i can see why shed claim her role name to prove a point
Yes, right now I think I'll be voting Kat and we can deal with Volt tomorrow
dino is actually super wishy washy for a lot of this day. a quick jump to kat and forgets teddy and volt
that's what puts me off thinking kat is town. i'm trying to think of a situation where donald trump is town and it's not too far a stretch since he recently told his constituents to think about putting disinfectants in their lungs.
i'm just playing a lil bit of devil's advocate but tbh i dont think she's maf.
while mayorleaf says before that role names aren't important, she entertains the idea that Donald Trump could not be town. I don't see the point in doing this
let me tell you if she's a special role that is town-sided she would never do what she did- not even trying to defend herself. Kat is one of the best mafia players here (my opinion) and her last post didn't sit right with me.
seroja is consistent with this stance on kat and it makes sense
I'm not going to push indefinitely. I will be voting for Volt D2
odd that you're already set on voting for another player when D1 and N1 flips could've happened to change the dynamics of the game. this seems to be planting a seed that dino would be pursuing volt D2 and could continue to tunnel instead of rethinking players
I can’t believe this day is ending in role name analysis. It’s such a worthless distraction to town.
its good that trundle acknowledges this but never really tries to steer town away from the distraction
I get that people have worries about the whole role name idea, but if we are being honest, now this idea has been brought up, it's going to linger until it's resolved. The best way, at least in my opinion, of handling this now that it's started is to let it play out and be proven incorrect. I certainly won't bother with it again if it's shown to be weak or incorrect. I doubt Antonio will either.
it doesn't need to "linger". voting for someone due to behavior would've been much better than to "prove a theme" not sure if you even read toads OP at this point because if you did im not sure why you'd continue to pursue this
i am discrediting the argument because i agree with trundle that role names are just a distraction for town because it literally says in TOAD'S OP POST that determining alignment based on role names is dissuaded
epona is the first one to bring up toads OP which is good evidence to try to stop the pointless theme conversation
Sadly I don't think the voting patterns here are going to give us much information. If Kat flips mafia there isn't much to go off because what I presume to be two town (Geoni and myself) started the wagon in the first place and mafia didn't have much room to deviate. If Kat is town then it's obviously an easy pile to hide in for the mafia.
again, trundle states a sort of uncomfortableness with the lack of a strong counterwagon as it wouldn't provide much info regarding voting patterns but he doesn't try to bring up a counterwagon of his other 3 scumreads
