Open 551: Hard Boiled - GAME OVER

[ChannelDelibird]

I'm not going to get involved in the Not_Mafia vote, by the way. Townread.

Why?

#59 rang true with a curiosity and purpose that I associate with being town.

[ChannelDelibird]

Protector's fairly heavy-handed alt-affectations are making getting a read on her more difficult than is helpful but I lean town at the moment.

Kid A, do you think that your vote is still in the right place?

[ChannelDelibird]

VOTE: Quill

I want to hear more from you and I feel our vote on Not_Mafia has reached its peak in terms of read gathering.

This is an extremely telegraphed post, as if you want us to look closely at how efficient you're trying to be, but in the process takes any oomph out of the vote. What kind of reaction did you expect to get out of Quill from something like this?

[ChannelDelibird]

As of #81/2, Egg is super town.

[ChannelDelibird]

So... Epiphanies of RVS votes turned serious don't sit well with me, actually. I find its easier for mafia-aligned players to find an excuse to not move their votes. Not really much of a fan of Lia's argument and move-out after Egg called her out.

(And yes, for those interested, I liked Channel's vote on Lia.)

Vote: Lia

I'll admit, I didn't notice this before. I also don't see the "by-play" that Lia says is him wanting to unvote, so that's another strike against her.

Unvote
Vote: Lia

Had some townpings from the rest of this post but this part doesn't sit particularly well with me. Looks too certain, too quickly, as a result of Zar's reasoning.

2) CDB has responded to a couple of posts that were directed at Dritan before Dritan got to them.

Do you think that I am more likely to do that as scum than town? Why?

[Zar]

I have a town read on CDB and Egg right now. I have a slighter town read on Not_Mafia based on 90. Add Earthquake to the townier side of the spectrum after a closer look at their minor exchange with Quill.

Aside from Lia, I'm currently leaning on suspicion towards Quill mostly because there's a significant amount of wiggle room in his stated opinions so far. In the surface, the posts seemed townish on a first skim, but looking at #66 and #84 more closely, I can see Earthquake's point about his comments.

Nothing on the rest of the slots so far.

why did you only comment on Protector's wagon?

[chamber]

I wasn't only commenting on Protector's wagon?

[Kid A]

Kid A

because none of the other posts had words in them that made me want to respond with more words

i wanted to respond to it =/= it was the only important thing to happen

I'm not following Kid A's logic. How exactly do you intend to say these two statements don't contradict each other?

If you thought none of the other posts made warranted a response from you, how is it that you think other important things happened so far? (at least this is what I'm understanding from your latter statement), and why if you think other important things happened, you didn't think these needed a response from you?

i dont understand how thinking a post is important and having something to say to the person who posted are linked

i think post x was a big towntell so its an important post but i dont feel any need to question poster x or quote it and go hey look at this towntell everyone

[Lia]

Well, seeing as no epiphany was involved that shouldn't bother you then. The vote would have been moved whether or not Egg or anyone else said anything as there was no longer a reason to leave it there. Do you think there was?

What did you like about CDB's vote on me?

Possibly because you had

just

stated you thought the wagon was "serendipitous"... if you thought you were getting lucky with the vote where it was, why was there no longer a reason to leave it there?

(This is also the reason why I liked the momentum on CDB's vote on you...)

I explained in 49 why I left the vote there and why there was no longer a reason to leave it there. "Getting a little twinge" is not the same as having an epiphany.

What do you mean by "the momentum on CDB's vote"?

Do you think that I am more likely to do that as scum than town? Why?

I don't know whether you would or not. But if I thought it was the former I would have voted you.

Vote: Zar

This is mainly gut.

[Zar]

I wasn't only commenting on Protector's wagon?

Okay, let me rephrase it better then: Aside from voting Quill him for

reasons

(??), why have you only commented on Protector's wagon?

i dont understand how thinking a post is important and having something to say to the person who posted are linked.

i think post x was a big towntell so its an important post but i dont feel any need to question poster x or quote it and go hey look at this towntell everyone

Well, I don't understand how thinking a post is important and not saying anything is linked, either. Tomato, tomato? I don't get the need of being secretive of town reads. Whether you're using town-hunting to reduce the suspect pool or not, it still helps narrow down the suspects. Keeping them to yourself doesn't give us anything to get a read from you (Is that like the new fad in the site-wide meta these days?)

I'm taking you missed where I already had said I didn't like the reasoning you used to move the vote in the same post I voted you.

CDB's vote comes as a direct result of your 49, it's what I was referring to. When I read it, I had a similar reaction to that post... (although admittedly mine comes from different reasoning).

[Protector]

Unfortunately I'm going to have to

request replacement

due to unexpected circumstances. Sorry. Enjoy yourselves~

[chamber]

Okay, let me rephrase it better then: Aside from voting Quill him for reasons(??), why have you only commented on Protector's wagon?

The 2 things weren't unconnected. I comment on interesting things I see. The thread isn't that interesting.

[shos]

Edosurist has requested replacement.

[ChannelDelibird]

Do you think that I am more likely to do that as scum than town? Why?

I don't know whether you would or not. But if I thought it was the former I would have voted you.

If you have no inclination as to whether or not it is alignment-indicative, why did you bring it up?

Dritan has picked up his prod but not posted. If he doesn't post until I go to sleep I'm searching for replacement.

GUYS BE ACTIVE

[Not_Mafia]

Replace dodge.

Kid A's response was weak. He is activity posting.

[Egg]

Back from V/LA tomorrow.

[ChannelDelibird]

Kid A's response was weak. He is activity posting.

Based on my limited (I think, admittedly, marathon-only) previous experience with Kid A, plus his general tone, I'm not convinced that his behaviour is alignment-indicative.

[shos]

Antihero replaces Edosurist effective immediately. Thanks!

[Earthquake]

Hey,

Sorry for not posting. I wanted to see reactions to the Quill vote and lost track of time. I am surprised only Quill responded. I think my other head didn't post to give me space. Sorry.

[Antihero]

I was looking to see reactions from other players. Total avoidance on the substance by most everyone wasn't what I expected.

Quill's first post ben a 3rd on a sheep wagon didn't feel righ an I felt not mafia was town, so I moved our vote.

Just what am I allegedly telegraphing?
