i will repeat, day 1 i am very, very bad at finding scum.
last time i looked though, there were 4 votes on you, so why aren't the 3 other people voting for you getting asmuch heat as i am?

monkeyeater why'd you stop pointing the flags at me?

im now thinking you're town, gerain

oh, day 1 i won't ask for clarification. i think anyone who claims a read strength greater than say.....33% is suffering delusions of overconfidence. why get people into trouble and ask them to clarify trying to catch mist on day 1?

all I had for you was vibes and vibes aren't reliable. i'm unsure about you. i want to lynch lemons today.

seriously? i've convinced you this morning i am town?

yes. your POV seem genuine. i won't lynch you today.

I'm not attacking people according to who's voting me. I'm just trying to figure out who's genuine and who's consistent when it comes to hopping on wagons. I have the benefit of knowing that I'm town, and coincidentally, I'm the hottest wagon right now. Lemons, and you, were the people I thought were the sketchiest in my wagon.

Nothing and I don't have a motive

I'm leaning town on Ivyeo for the reaction to what geraintm posted (regardless of geraintm alignment)

As for geraintm, it would have been towny if this was the first instance of them doing this, but it's not, so it isn't. They can easily be copying what they did as town, as scum here.

So when can I expect you to start doing... you know, something?

VOTE: Dunnstral

I agree with Anya's "cheap vote" characterization here. Egix, if you think Dunnstral is the most likely scum I expect you to come back and explain and to have more reason than you gave in this post.

The thing is that I don't have a confident SR at this point, so it's a) a vote for pressure and b) PoE. This feels like a game where the best approach is to figure out who's being towny and simply yeet the ones who aren't.

Osuka??
For town. If you're town and wanna be on this list then you've just gotta keep on trucking.

i dunno how Egix is trying to poe when he has 5 ideals in 12 specimens and two are unsure

poe statement doesn't reflect his actual collection of friends

that list notice also feels like putting up bounties on non-existent cases

VOTE: Egix

gera does feel like town again maybe could be

happy birthday, anya

it's not my birthday i don't know why that cake's there lol

happy mafia anniversary, anya

oh thanks

Mixture of me feeling mild town vibes from 237, but at the same time kinda not liking second line of 197.

In post 522, geraintm wrote: why is ti strange to not want to appear scummy? i don't want to get voted off, so i want to look townie/not look scummy

There's a common school of thought that scum are more concerned about how they are perceived than town are, stemming from the idea that an individual scum has much more reason to stay alive than a townie does.
In practice, the lines are blurred somewhat since there are often people who are naturally self-conscious. So yes, even though I can see this coming from town!you, it's not the best of looks.

In post 523, geraintm wrote:it is amazing to me how i play gets so many people so worked up.
right now, i have nothing to offer the game except my claim. i find it incredibly hard/impossible to find scum day 1. i do try and get better as the game goes on though...

It's likely because they think you are dead weight, to put it frankly, and they don't trust you to improve if they let you live.
For that reason, no matter how difficult you find it, if you are town you need to put in the effort.

what is the point of #540, Egix?

Just saying what's on my mind. Might not achieve much, but might as well.

What else is on your mind, buddy? I wanna know what you thought of #533.

If you could also share your thoughts on Monkey vs Lemons and Monkey vs osuka, that would be good.

268 from Anya feels like a towny thought, but 46 gives me the heebie jeebies. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Eh, if I had anything I particularly wanted to say about it, I would have done so by now. I'm hoping to be able to expand my town list as the Day progresses.

What's the difference between Dunn and you? Both of you seem like you're playing passively, but you seem to think he's worth the pressure.

You vs osuka just feels like a slapfight over something I don't understand. Apologies if there's something big I'm missing but yeah. Probably tvt.
Am I right in supposing that the reason you suspect Lemons is because, even though they suspect geraint, they are voting you instead because they see it as an easier way out in this gamestate? If so, yeah, that's not really a good look.

I'm trying though
I actually have a couple of prior games with Dunnstral but they're both from 2018. Even so I think he's capable of being more active than this.
