Alright, lets get this thing started.

VOTE: pdmedic

[A Simple Plan]

Also: Simple Plan, any reason you've just totally ignored the Formerfish wagon of glory?

I don't like the idea of wagon-ing someone to... What, L2 would it have been on page one of a thread. There wasnt enough time to get a solid read on anyone, at least for me, and seeing the wagon developing that fast, I'm going to be watching those four closely... Now, watching him react a bit more to the wagon, I think it looks rather suspicious. Not worthy of jumping on the wagon this quickly, but with a wagon filling so quick, I don't want to lynch immediately without getting a read on people first; these day one discussions are where my reads start to form, and a rapid wagon like that looks... Very intriguing.

Also making note for future reference that it has been six hours without a response from pdmedic after I voted him, and he never posted to confirm receiving a role either.

MOD:

I'm going to be away from early AM of Saturday, August 17 through to the PM of Sunday, August 18. It should not exceed 48 hours, but I wish to make it known prior in case I am not able to sign on Saturday morning before I leave so that I don't anger any fellow players/draw a prod for my absence. Thank You!

As of right now, my eyes are focusing on Kid A. His 56 is interrogating on a seemingly random vote when he did the same thing on 52. Why Uberkang, then?

[A Simple Plan]

I don't think what I've seen from Kid A is enough for a vote, but I want to hear from him about his vote. But if what you're saying about neither vote being random is true, does that mean Stubbs is onto something with his vote on you then?

As far as the votes on me go, I don't think a whole ton of them at this point. I don't hear any reasoning for their votes, so my gut reaction is that Slandaar's vote was a RVS/reaction test vote, and that UK's was somewhat of a bandwagon to make the reaction test more solid.

On another note, my vote is staying on medic; the more I think about it, I don't like the "was out of town" excuse in a post that said nothing but that. It feels like a prod-dodge post from a lurker, and his lack of attempt at scum hunting/getting involved makes me think he could be scum.

[A Simple Plan]

I'm still not fond of Kid A's 56 for some reason, but Im not convinced that he's scum.

Formerfish's 80 brings up a couple solid points, and I do agree that Slandaar hiding his reads is at the least giving an anti-town vibe.

MOD:

this will be my last post before I return from my trip Sunday evening, approximately 36 hours. Just a reminder.

[A Simple Plan]

Seeing pdmedic's activity starting to pick up a bit and seeing that he's trying, I'm going to go ahead and...
UNVOTE: pdmedic.

Now, as far as my current reads go, I'm getting a town read from BvD, Stubbs, and pdmedic, with weak town reads on Gee Gee and Formerfish. Desperado is also a weak town read.

Kid A is probably my top scum read right now, followed by Slandaar. Retreading things, I don't get a good feeling from Kid A's #30, even though I'm fairly certain it was a joke, and I feel like his play is just... Off, I guess, for lack of a better word. His 121 and 123 seem to just be repetitive to pry at pdmedic to get him active, and im unsure what to make of it beyond nagging for answers. I also notice BvD mentioning him ignoring a question from BvD. I still think being able to discuss people's reads and having a chance to get another perspective on a person's behavior would be beneficial to the town, and refusing to share reads isn't being productive, hence my suspicions about Slandaar.

Elyse is also giving off scum vibes, but I'm unsure there; UberKang is giving off mixed vibes, but if I had to guess, I'd say town. Mnemonic Device is reading very unproductive and suspicious as well. From what I've seen of Alexcellent gives off weak scum, but he needs to get active too.

VOTE: Kid A

[A Simple Plan]

@ASP, You can't see any potential town motivation for not outing ones reads?

Hiding one's reads doesn't provide anything for the town to go on, and it just feels too secretive for my liking. I suppose one could do so as town to to try to protect his or her interests later in the game and protect himself from being framed for a NK through his scum-reads being targeted. I still feel like it's more anti-town because it gives us less to work with, but now that I think about it more, it gives a more null read on Slandaar than straight scum.

Elyse is only making my scum read on her a bit stronger and gives me less doubt, and her 153 feels odd, especially in response to Desperado's 152. I feel like my vote on Kid A is pretty good, and the OMGUS reaction to my vote in 133 makes me feel that much better about it.

[A Simple Plan]

Slandaar's most recent post is excellent, and I'm going to go ahead and say it's enough for me to consider him town right now. Still looking at Elyse and Kid A as scum suspects right now. Also, got a new laptop so posting might be a bit easier, but as of right now it's 12:30 and I've got my first day of classes in college tomorrow, so I'm going to bed. Will try to update with better quality soon.

[A Simple Plan]

Sorry guys... Long story short, with as light a schedule as I took in college, I seriously wasn't expecting to find it this difficult to sign on and post, at least daily if not more, and quite frankly its just been impossible- two days in and already a homework assignment that took me four hours, and that's just one class. Combine that with the urgent need for me to get a job now that my mom is going on leave for surgery, and I'm not going to be able to handle the game at the level I truly want to.

As per the request to claim, I'm Vanilla Town.

: I'm going to need a replacement, please. This has nothing to do with your game, the setup, any of the players in the game, nor you as a mod, and it was a privilege to play in your game for the time I did. I hope that at a point when I have the time to play to the level I usually am able, I might be privileged to participate in one of your games again; I am truly sorry.
