Now that we know how to lynch anyone here, can we please start playing this normally instead of sprinkling crumbs like a pigeon and setup speccing?

Just like I gave a slight townread to Maria for #11, I kinda could see your #6 coming from a scum perspective since you arent too much of a fan of playing it.In post 87, popsofctown wrote:I can't think of a protown reason not to out it.In post 69, Azuresky wrote: Pops is probably town, but I do have a tiny tiny tiny reason to believe she is scum, but I do not feel like outing my reason as it is reaching (and somewhat a gut feeling) and I tr pops enough for now to ignore it.
If you feel that the reason is invalid at its core, there are six townies that can show you so in a collaborative process.
If it's truly valid at its deepest core then scum!pops would possibly NK you n1 or n2 as one of the players with a reservation against you she could never address, or maybe I guess she leaves you alive until LyLo where there is only 1 other townie to figure out whether your idea is dumb or smart and talk it out with you.

I feel the vote to shuffle is much more important than a regular lynch because doing shuffling can make people immune for the day on an accidental hammer. I want to be really sure of the plan before we do something, ESPECIALLY if we skip.In post 96, Hectic wrote:basically RVS thereIn post 52, Azuresky wrote:To be fair the only person that can die right now is hectic.

#33 seems NAI imo. I also am not sure of what to do right now myself, but SKIP should be seen as Anti-town unless you believe Hectic is scum.
P-Edit: Oh boy, I need Elements in here, I need him to help me break this game
why not vote something random?
how is this different?
This isn't confirmed that they are scumreading Locke though. They could, but they could be working on lining up someone else for the lynch with the other shuffles.In post 97, Hectic wrote:In post 53, Nymph wrote:I'd rather not have my main outed.

It'll be page 2, we're still the depths of RVS when Elizabeth pops up and says: "Hectic is obvtown btw. Gonna treat him as an Innocent Child from here."
Elizabeth, though I appreciate your support, it does take some of the fun out of the game for me, it causes things to be a lot more dull.
I want a challenge, I want to prove my towniness just like the rest of you.
Therefore, I will intentionally avoid all townspewing this game. Thank you for understanding.
Out of interest, what is your read on me so far?

You do realise there are post tags right?

How dare you?

I assume you have reasons for this read?In post 63, Nymph wrote:I slight town lean MariaR.
#11 was her first post right? curious what you like about the post, beyond the fact that its very entertaining?In post 69, Azuresky wrote:Ok, I'm going to leave a big post here for awhile as I plan on being busy tomorrow:
Give me Maria for town at this point, I'm usually a sucker for posts like #11, as most of the time this is a genuine statement.
Quickly looking at Hectics #12, I found the words,Wind Tracker May Ruined Wrong Byestake that as you will, its probably nothing, as there are no PRs in this game.
Hectic #15 ("You Believe Scum are Less Likely to put themselves at the top of the list") - Hectic could be scum for this. The WIFOM play is ballsy and something I can respect. Nymph v Hectic looks to be TvS if you ask me.
Pops is probably town, but I do have a tiny tiny tiny reason to believe she is scum, but I do not feel like outing my reason as it is reaching (and somewhat a gut feeling) and I tr pops enough for now to ignore it.
In Summary, I personally would like to think as of right now: Hectic/Nymph and someone who hasn't talked much yet (Dong/Elements/Dunn/Locke). I would vote SKIP right now, but I want to hear from those 4 before I make any more assumptions. I think this should provide yall some talking points to work with.
Other Notes:
Dunn hasn't posted yet up to that post. Fake reads?

That said, if it concerns some of my ongoing games that you have read, it is undeed the unfortunate case that you're required to use it to inform your read but not explain it to other people, according to site rules. Expressing a desire that you hope one of those games finish during this one would be o.k.

Its reaching and an RVS read, but its there. I think your play otherwise suggests that you are town imo.
