With 13 alive, it’s 7 to lynch. The Day 1 deadline is in (expired on 2020-07-14 12:17:59).

Also really disappointed in the constant replace outs, I know I would've done the same if I had something that made me busy (in fact, I am still considering replacing out atm), but it's hard for me to form any reads properly when the player changes midway.

Honestly unsure of what to do at the moment. can someone provide a summary of what the fuck happened in the last few pages? I don't understand what's going on anymore.

From what I understand: push on holden initially makes sense, but seeing as they're apparently V/LA, shouldn't be a cause for a push anymore.

i feel like you're LAMISTing and dumbslipping so much more than i'm used to from you - like it doesn't feel natural that you're so lost
other than the Holden debacle is there anything else you're confused about?

Menalque you still want to push Holden now knowing he's V/LA? he is btw - i checked

~Eve

[Eevee]

RCEnigma
Mohab
Fredrick

are people i'd to like to make walk the plank

Ydrasse do you think any of these sailors would be a good place to slam down your vote?

~Eve

[Menalque]

Menalque you still want to push Holden now knowing he's V/LA?

I mean I’d like a VC before anything else tbh

[Eevee]

no but i mean do you still think it's scummy for him to be absent from the thread

~Eve

[Menalque]

or given reasons for Mohab!town

I very literally did

[Menalque]

no but i mean do you still think it's scummy for him to be absent from the thread

~Eve

Hmm, idk, I’m soured on it but equally why is it so hard to get traction on fucking anything this game

[Eevee]

everyone's lounging around on the deck they don't understand the gravity of our situation - i mean who's gonna steer the ship now with our captain dead

RCEnigma was a fine wagon and stock's rising quickly so it's optimal time for any onlookers to hop on

VOTE: RCE

[Menalque]

Also why is refusing to clarify himself even scummy? Do you think scum actively go “yeah nah I’m gonna piss off this towny and get them to vote for me” when appeasing and getting people to TR you is literally the name of the game as scum

I think they try and sow confusion. Not clarifying anything is quite a useful way to achieve that goal.

Only just not explaining stuff doesn’t really sow that much confusion at all?

It’s much more effective to try and get people doubting their TRs or to infiltrate a townbloc and to steer it wrong

[Menalque]

Trying to pressure chemist is actively counter productive most of the time because he just feels less like playing when he’s town and is therefore less likely to answer, and as scum he just has to replicate that. Only he rolls town more than he rolls scum, so lynching him for it is such a waste and it’s why he’s /consistently/ someone scum try to lynch on D1 or keep around for a compromise lynch

Or he gets white knighted sometimes too. But if you leave him be he actually has good insights often and is discernible from being scum when he is town over a longer period.

So voting for him is dumb and lazy and bad and you should stop doing it and vote somewhere productive

I'll just take your word for it. For now.

VOTE: Raya36

Let me guess... because Raya hasn't posted for a while?

Exactly. 44 hours to be exact.

And also a reminder to everyone that Raya36 is a player in this game.

@eve I really doubt this is a scum thought process/justification for a vote, and I also think it’s unlikely that scum deliberately tries to “townslip” by saying that scum has no daytalk only to have it confirmed by mod that scum /do/ have daytalk

I mean fair play if that is what fredrick did, but I just think that the vast majority of the time shit like that is genuine and it’s not worth worrying too much about the marginal cases

[Menalque]

RCE doesn’t remind me at all of his towngame here and so guillotining him today is fine by me, let’s get some more votes there

[HoldenGolden]

I'll be here later tonight. Apologizes as I've had limited access for the last couple of days due to weather messing with my internet (the Joy's of a mobile hot spot in the middle of fuck and no where)

[Menalque]

In the meantime, how about a vote for Holden?

How about a vote for Chemist1422?

No. Chemist is literally the laziest vote you could be making in this playlist and trying to read him off activity tells is shit and never works. Also chemist has lowkey towntold this game

How? and why? I can agree that using activity as the main reason to push is a little excessive (seeing as activity is a major point for most of the players here), but I don't see why they are the worst possible push?

Because pushing him won’t make him do anything whether he’s scum or town, he’s a player consistently targeted by scum for the fact that he doesn’t have thread presence, and because I think he’s done a thing that makes me lean him town although I don’t wanna out what that is yet — but I have a pretty good record on not mislynching chem when multiple people want to

And if he is town, the best chance of him towntelling more is when he doesn’t have votes on him if my understanding of him is any way correct

[Menalque]

Honestly, I think there’s a pretty good chance there’s an above average amount of lurker scum this game, I’m still not townreading snowblaze or ydrasse, and it’s quite strongly +scum for suji that he didn’t post anything imo

[Menalque]

@eve i really don’t think mohab is a good guillo for today and we can revisit there later if the better slots for killin (suji, RCE, snow, ydrasse) don’t flip scum promptly

[Menalque]

Fuck I do wanna still kill Holden though

[Menalque]

3/3 (suji, Holden, RCE, ydrasse, snow)?

[Raya36]

Sorry guys, was really not engaged with this game yet and discouraged when I came in and couldn't find anything to comment on.

Going to start off again with this

[Almost50]

You're overestimating the content of this game.

I've come to realize that already. By the time I was caught up I was so so sore I didn't feel like posting. The short version is I have a couple of TRs (that I'm keeping to myself for the time being). The long version is.. oh, well.. "Why did you post this? Why didn't you post it a minute earlier/later? What is the colour of your undershirt? What makes oil boil?" is more or less what almost everyone was asking each other. I could give examples but then I'd be contributing to this mess, so I'll just pretend I didn't read anything but maybe 3-4 posts (and I won't point them out because they will directly tell everyone whom I'm TRing, which is probably bad in a mountainous)

[Almost50]

or given reasons for Mohab!town

I very literally did

I must've missed them. Actually. I will be first to admit I have a bias against Mohab. I kinda view her as another "Saudade" meaning I expect her to replace out from every game she play in at any given time, so maybe I didn't pay enough attention to her content? (I also have a bias against people not reading the setup, so that's a double bias against Mohab that I have to deal with)

[Mohab500]

Eevee, you said something about what you're 'used to', did we play with each other before? Because I don't recall so. Were you mentioning something completely different?

[Menalque]

Sorry guys, was really not engaged with this game yet and discouraged when I came in and couldn't find anything to comment on.

Bad vote, join me on RCE instead

[Raya36]

What's scummy about RCE
