Dude has claimed to have only one Shakespeare quote (so lazy hed not even looking at the sample PM apparently) yet has specifically claimed 2 abilities one of which makes no sense, apparently has a picture of rosencrantz with ophelia instead of you know the character he is attached at the hip to (do they even share any scenes???) What more do you need

DV, I am thinking it was a dawn action because of the order and timing of the mod communications.

I thought for a while that maybe Galron visited Wheme at night and me at dawn, but I don't think his comparing action would work like that. But I'm the first to admit I don't know game mechanics that well.

Because Galron is still the only lim I will consider today and as sad as it is that Bell has to die I don't really care to leave Galron alive just to test Bell's role

Like I'm down to use the rest of the Day to discuss who we are scumreading going forward

Great stuff

But don't lend credence to the idea that Galron will not be dying today.

Ceph, you only have one vote on you if I read the vote count correctly.

Pedit- I would rather flip Galron too.

I can in fact count! Soft votes are a legitimate form of danger

I'm annoyed that this is probably a calculated move by lld/maybe wis to get a rise out of me. And it may work! Am I now the guy who's not allowed to play until he has an emotional breakdown in the thread? It's kind of shitty to force me to be a person I've said I want to stop being. :/

I'm probably overreacting but theres your frustration are you happy now

that was a bad thing to say sorry

i do want to draw a comparison to other players who are required to perform a certain way in order to be allowed to live, but i didn't need to do it in an accusatory way.

Is there a reason you think this didn’t occur as a night action though?

I received the Galron track result prior to the start of the dawn phase, and then personally I received an update on my coins (that the total was unchanged) after the dawn phase, once day 2 actually started.

Ok let’s say Bell gets some super awesome power if he targets and “finds” you tonight. If Galron is limmed tomorrow Bell dies too and this potential ability is left unused.

It is a fruitless endeavor and I would like to prioritize limming certain scum than banking on the ~5% chance Bell could make use of his role by targeting you.

Okay, well if you want to just make shit up and then call it preposterous, I can make shit up too.

What if him targeting me give me an ability, therefore we can still get a benefit even if he dies with Galron?

Or what if it breaks his loverizer (since he said that he loses all abilities if he targets the right person, and lover is sometimes considered an ability)?

There were like 3 things that have put Pav in my town leans:

Early on, I really felt like he was trying to sort me in our earlier interactions, someone else said it looked like town finding each other.

Then what you pointed to with Juliet. I do think that it would be a weird thing to say about a partner, but I also saw this exchange resulting from it:

Spoiler:

We place fair Juliet in harm's way

In post 87, Pavowski wrote: Re: Juliet, I have no idea if she's scum but this game needs those bars she's spittin

Which, at the time felt like a weird misunderstanding from Marci, but then once I started looking back with the asumption that Juliet was scum, stood out more. I actually feel more like that was Pav making a joke about JC, and Marci being worried that her partner was getting clocked as scum early.

And finally, this:
In post 738, Pavowski wrote:
In post 731, Juliet Capulet wrote:You are doing it right now ! <3
If Luke and JC have scum equity why is she here hanging a lampshade on it?
Which I don't see why scum!pav steps in to keep me from being linked to scum!JC right before scum!JC is voted out.

------

And general feel and tone, that are harder to just point to, felt good

And then he had not done anything that raised red flags for me.

I see what you said about him riding under a radar, and I will keep an eye on it. (also, getting ready to look more closely at your reasons you have him in your scum reads - like already read it, but have not followed any links)

If I'm scum with Galron, I'd be taking the opportunity to vote Dunn (as some other people have pretty vehemently pushed for, and he's a decent second wagon). I still think Galron should go, even though it costs us Icebox.

Re: Juliet, assuming she does eventually flip scum (did Luke say he had good reason to think she'd be resolved by d3? Feels like somebody said it, and I do think it's likely), as much as I'd like to think scum!me has the stones to say after a post or two from her that she should make it to endgame as my scumbuddy, I am pretty sure I don't actually have those stones.
