nothing I've seen from Dusk implies anything to me.

Have you played with him before? this isn't mafia Dusk Soldier its Dusk Soldier Dusk Soldier.

he could be town, he could be scum.

 

[batsnacks]

or Scum AB is defending town CCS because he's pretty certain CCS is town.

Something I did in anime with a few players.

mafia does stuff they benefit from. I didn't read anime but I would bet you benefited from the town reads you, probably reluctantly, made.

AB as mafia gains nothing from what he said

It's true at that point in time there were no gains.


I'd like AB to chime in with some thoughts on it, then perhaps who he does actually read as scum and his day end targets.

Yeah as much as I like that lynch I'm not handing out town points for it until we get a flip.

 

[cabot]

CCS, who'd you vote to lynch today?

top two I guess?

Zeusy, what do you think about "Dusk Soldier"

 

[Blargonaut]

*Splinter, would you ever consider betraying cabot like Kawl betrayed me?

 

[isaacnukem]

In order from most recent to oldest overnight:




















This was a whole lot of nothing and probably the most dodgy Dusk vote. Bronx isn't too far behind.

When in doubt, vote the noob out!

Humour me; if you were the Most Talkative player, what kind of questions would you ask the others

I would probably ask questions that seem innocent enough and then go off on a tangent whenever "something" suspicious comes up. Basically distracting everyone else, which would make my seat safe.

You had your chance.

[CCS]

CCS, who'd you vote to lynch today?

top two I guess?

Still not entirely sure. Leaving aside my desire to policy lynch an inactive, maybe Kyan and Bronx? Neither of those are strong reads though, if I'm honest I don't have much of a scum read on anyone currently.

sry it's just a phase

 

[Zippedpinhead]

Why don't you like the Dusk vote?

Because it's a total band wagon. Four of the first five votes came Within 11 posts. It's a train, just not a typical end of day 1 train.

 

[Zippedpinhead]

Blarg, maybe I'm not paying attention, maybe that's a lot of memes. Why Cabot? Purely because of acohrs?

PS loved the Dayvonne BB meme. Got a legit chuckle

 

[Kawl_USC]

If you can't get a train going on someone who literally said he'd rather town let a conftown die than have people vote defensively, when can you ever get a train going?

hi Zipped; if it's not too much trouble, could you pop back in to the scum chat for a sec and tell Dusk to defend himself, sry ty

[OceanicAir]

I mean that is some extremely low hanging fruit though. Scum is usually a bit more subtle than that especially when they have heat on them. If bats wasn't already confirmed town I'd likely vote for him for some of his positions that he stated. So town being weird is not out of the ordinary.

 

[Blargonaut]

 

[Kyanrute]

Kyaa~ y tho?

Cuz I read some flaming messages and I got a feel about them. How should I say it... drive-by posting? Popping out of the scum cave every now and then to comment on something? Oh and I like the wise tone in the posts, that feels kinda scum-like and reminds me of the better days when I did not have to play with the dumdums of town.

So in catching up (pg ~5, 50pp), I feel like while it was nice to get some more info, having two confirmed townies means that any type of protective/watch/track roles will be split between them instead of being a focus. Although I guess scum wouldn't make the mistake of going for the known quantities just yet, nevertheless it's a problem they'll have to solve.

A all-around post summarizing the happenings. Nothing harmful in itself, but nothing new either.

Eh, scum gained 0 information out of all this, they already knew who town was (assuming no 3rd party). It's just as likely for Kawl to be a PR before the check and then after as well. Personally, if I was in that position as a vanilla townie, then I'd try and seem super important so scum wastes a kill. Of course I'd hate to lose Kawl so early in the game, especially with a known alignment.

It's certainly a possibility, LP, that Kawl could be a godfather, but that'd take incredible luck. Hitting 1 of the 3/4/5 scum members, and then not only that, but the one person who would be checked as town, seems kinda unlikely. We can look at their play after a few days if you're still worried.

Solving. Again, solving alone ain't bad, me likes it too for one. But it really ain't anything groundbreaking.

Sounds like something scum would say, feigning a lack of experience/knowledge.

While I appreciate the sacrifice/reveal for Kawl, I think it would have been more interesting if acohrs had waited until just before the end of Day 1 and then picked whoever was leading the vote count, say a couple hours before the end.

I think it's kinda obvious who to protect / who is more valuable in this case. Batsnacks' role is spent, who knows what Kawl has and so they should be watched/protected/whatevered.

More things that are true and might make one yawn.

Personally, I want to know why it's "InFAMOUS" instead of "inFAMOUS" like in the game itself.

Also, just gonna mention Kawl again because of Time's vote. I've discussed Kawl because they were the one's being discussed when I was around, that or I wanted to point something out.

I'm leaning towards voting Bronx-Man right now, but I'll wait a little while.

Someone do correct me if I am wrongz, but there was no mention of Bronx before? The reasoning behind the potential vote ain't explained nor is it explained later on. Sure, feels biiiiiiit ez though to be scum, right? Sure meanies would get this part of the narrative correct at least.

I mean, on day 1 it's hard to form any real solid opinions, but I do get what you are saying.

I like Splinter's post in reference to AbsolutBro. Unfortunately, I feel like today (Day 1) won't have too much action until ~3 hrs before the deadline when vote trains go everywhere.

Moar facts about day of 0+1 and a +1 for Splinter, lucky him. Tossing a +1 is a nice way to seem like one is participating and present and totally town.

So far out of left field it's not even in the park, I think Splinter would be an incorrect choice for today. Yes, I suppose I should put forward someone else, but at the very least, I don't think it should be you either Dusk Soldier.

Covering some of them bases before someone accuses him of not giving a vote candidate. Still, perhaps the least offensive of the slightly offensive posts.

Wow.I didn't think Dusk Soldier was the right target today, but after that post I'm certainly willing to consider it. This vote train happened very quickly though.

Vote: Bronx-Man

The Bronx vote, reasoning unexplained still. Reserves the ticket to the alternative train too should Bronx not burn bright.

Present but not really doing that much. A feel.

Its low hanging fruit for a reason. It's awful, objectively bad play.

Scum can be more subtle, but they are human just like everyone else. Not to mention dusk didn't really have heat on him before that post.

And sure some of bats posturing gets on my nerves too, but I can at least understand his posts come from his own brand of logic.

Again, this isn't town "being weird" even in the best case. It's town playing in a manner entirely beneficial to scum. If you'd like to see an example of dusk doing this in the past, you can just go read anime mafia.

It will take a huge revelation to move my vote today.

Are you leaning on him actually being scum or do you think it's just Anime Redux? Because its all well and good when a confirmed townie goes after someone that they might feel could be just really bad town. But anyone else doing so would be a bit more problematic.

 

[cabot]

why does being confirmed town change it exactly?

 

[Timeaisis]

1. That Dusk post seems very scummy to me. Coupled with his others, I can definitely see it now.

2. I see almost nothing with the CSS/AB scenario...still. Even though cab continues to push it. Which is a little odd, but that's cab.

3. Splinter seems slightly suspect, but not enough for me to vote him. Again, people seem to be obsessed with splinter.

4. I still think Flame is scummy. Even though no one else does.

5. isaacnukem is sheepping and looks suspect doing so. But he's new(?), so maybe nothing.

5.

Blargonaut
Is distracting.

[Kyanrute]

Cabot had a fancy post up there with isaac's tale. I agree with it, not a lot in that one and the Dusk vote comes out without any reasoning. Suspicious in the way that there is at least something little but the little is bit ehh.

 

[Kawl_USC]

Either or.

I don't find going after potentially just bad town as problematic at least as far as day one goes. I frequently do it in almost all of my games conftown or no.

Dusk certainly has done nothing to move the needle of probability towards him being town and so with no strong scum signs from anyone else he's is right up there in terms of EV even without me thinking that as town he's more harm than good. Add that in and it's no contest.
