Scummy. Probably in second for me after Coppa and Flame.
I was uneasy initially and said so in my big dump post this morning, Gorlak then specfically calling Splints and I out for 'dominating' discussion has only reinforced my suspicion. I was holding till Launch started up but his initial posts haven't really helped my opinion.

I wanted a piece of their name because I really wanted to understand if names are important. You say that you can view our role names, which means that names matter, kawl/blarg claims to be a Miller which means alignment matters, and they track (which means movement matters.
That's three things to look at Out of two role claims, in a game where there are only 15 roles. I have a few reservations about these role claims
1) miller just doesn't make sense because alignment only matters for town (unless there is a recruitable). Do we really have a recruitable player with only 15?
2) role names could matter (your claim) but it doesn't make sense if blarg and kawl are telling the truth. Why does town need to know a role name, unless they find out ordinaries or scum are named weird (see woof 2.0 where all wolf roles had "wolf" in their name), which should be determined by an alignment cop? So in a vacuum your role make sense, paired with blarg and kawl it leaves me with lots of questions.
3) unlimited tracking. A powerful role coupled with Miller, makes sense but only after you take a look at 1&2.
That's where I stand on your teams role claim and blarg/kawl's role claim. They seem directly opposed in this game.
In conclusion, you four are the most interesting people to talk about today, and I have reservations about both of your groups.
Oh yeah, Hyperactivity:
I hate this, what good can come from raising this point?

I've squandered my work day on this aggressive karks attacks, but I promise to have a more proactive evening of hunting, friend.
Gorlak
Nonsense flavor padding that I'd probably vote against just based on that if I didn't have experience with that kind of thing in previous games.
I didn't like how Gorlak and Flame_AC attached themselves to this pointlessness, too:
This post is cool. Not sure where Gorlak's suspicion of Splinter is necessarily coming from; seemed to originate from Splinter jokingly referring to Volcano Island.
LaunchpadMcQ
Revolver Ocelot gifs. Says that he doesn't see much to comment on, so he isn't. I don't like that kind of comment; will have to refer back to previous games I've participated in and see who the people were that said similar things.
Is it reasonable to be wary of teams I feel are communicating a whole bunch in private and not in the thread? Because I have a gut feeling Gorlak and Launch would be one of those teams.

Gorlak is weird, I'm surprised at how much he's posted considering how little of an impression has been made on me
also, what's this post in reference to:
?????
Launch has been quiet too
honestly, it's been difficult to form opinions on anybody because the conversation has been devoted to the Flux/Time and Kawl/Blarg claim analysis gauntlet
I'm not sure if it makes people scummy or whether they're just exercising their right to be bored shitless by this mess, which stagnated a while back

I don't think there's much left to glean from D1. Blarg/Kawl are claiming miller, Flux/Time are claiming cop, whatever. The lack of votes currently on either pair suggests that nobody feels confident enough to actually take them out at the moment. Everything else is just people pointing fingers at anyone overly active/inactive and hoping someone hands them a reactionary scumtell on a platter.
What? And what would you have expected us to do on D1 if neither of us claimed?
Honestly I'm not sure what the point of this D1 was in the first place. Most mafia games I've played start on N1.
I was getting scummy vibes from coppa and flame at first too, but I cooled on them a bit. Like my one true love said, they aren't being self-conscious in the way scum is usually...
Who is being self-conscious is Launch. And Gor's posts feel like he's compensating for scum guilt with his over-the-top posting. Would vote.
As for whoever asked about kitty, I'd say scum kitty is often a bit more devoid of passion when giving his opinions. As if he is going through the motions.
Vote: Kingkitty
Kark is being very obtuse and it'd be hilarious if it hadn't taken up a whole page. Not sure if there is scum there though.
There's no guarantee we have an alignment cop if we have millers. Stop setup specing on day one, it's embarrassing.

WHERES MY LOVER???!!
Both of your roles? That's...stupid! I would've held the Miller thing to my chest especially after the instant reveal of Cop. did you rethink / rediscuss the reveal?
I just don't understand what you get--what TOWN gets out of a thing like that.
True.
Nah it ain't that deep, I don't exactly have a hard read on KingKitty's but it's good to have a target early game and Tim's thing on KK works for me to justify the eye watch. Greater good and all that.
As explained above.

Sweet guy, likes the ~love~ fluff.
Launch is observing and busy.
The post above. Zipped asking for Blawl's role name, while everyone still argues about how/if it could be used in town's advantage.
If you're tired of seeing me on the page, maybe try posting more than 3 game-relevant posts since we started?
He speaks for both of us.
In all seriousness though, it's just the nature of Day 1, everything is hearsay until there is action. When we start attacking hard on Day 1, it's usually in attempt to get someone to crack. It's why I'm so perturbed by the Day 1 claims, they just run counter to the average Day 1 around here. Then again, this is GAFia, and we all know how crazy our setups get...
So, we have a claimed cop pair and a claimed miller pair, correct? Jeez... Not really comfortable taking the gamble on either of them for right now, especially since making those claims on Day 1 is about the worst scum play one can make. At least wait until Day 2, ya know?
Oh, and for the record...
Sorry cabot, I'm not sorry. Wait... err.... *leaves*
I think it's reasonable to a degree, especially for a team that as a whole hasn't offered much in the way of opinions. I myself have been hanging back a bit in the love boat out of nervousness and offering up more opinions than anything. Right now I'm still pretty neutral.
In regards to the Flux/Time/Blarg/Kawl situation, I'm wondering if it might be best just to wait it out and see what happens? Looking at batsnack's idea for example, it doesn't seem to give us a lot of information. In exchange it has a lot of potential risks involved too that could swing things greatly.
I wanna read over Karkador's posts now, seeing as there are a lot of them. We still haven't heard basically anything from Magnumboy or UltraJay either. Kind of echoing the day 1 sentiments by Camjo-Z and TL21xx too. A lot of what we do on Day 1 will largely be relevant in the later game, not so much now.
Are you going to vote or yell at the clouds all game.
Please don't do this! Being wrong is like 90% of mafia, but giving your opinion is important.
These plans always work out, don't know what you're talking about!
Because the "Miller Tracker" said it would be a good idea

Am I not supposed to bring up thoughts? What an odd question
I'm sorry. ><; It's the nature of day one and my own nervousness. For what it's worth tho I'm feeling more confident now.
Nothing too much stands out at first glance regarding Karkador. He and *Splinter are kind of giving me the same feeling. The biggest difference right now is that *Splinter's partner, cabot, is giving me pretty big town vibes. Where as I'm less confident about Zippedpinhead.
Speaking of activity, Gorlak gave a pretty good post regarding his thoughts sometimes back. What do you think about all of that? I don't think you've said too much outside of the Flux/Timeasis

ugh, don't be so anally retentive about my word choice
and I fail to see what's haphazard about it
I refuse to believe that 18 people don't have enough of an opinion at this stage to make a bit of a commitment of this nature, it's not like you're RNGing it
Maybe double check the details with Flux, but you've currently claimed some kind of cop. Not exactly B-tier material.
And the other role is a tracker. Again not a weak role. Good enough that Burb apparently felt the need to nerf it somewhat with the Miller add on.
I agree that bats' plan wasn't great, but it feels like you're downplaying the importance of these roles.
Well, in that case!
I prefer to use my vote as a statement and a force. It's a resource. It grows in power the less you use it and weakens when you throw it around. There's no reason to haphazardly apply votes at this stage if you don't have a strong feeling about someone. Unless that's your strategy: the prod guy. But I'm not particularly fond of that strategy.

i disagree
interesting that boo yet again grip-ons to what CzarTim has to say about me. might be more understandable if they were partners, but they're not. these eyes remain open.
boo's partner ultrajay only has one post
so does magnum
on the topic of miller: i agree that even if timeflux proves themselves to have a cop ability thanks to the millers, it doesn't prove who the millers are
and if the millers are the millers b/c their alignment will show up as bad, then I guess that might mean there's a cop with the ability to check an alignment. or somehow the miller's issues is that their name changes to something like "wearemcscummyscum" to any namecop, but my gut says that's too much of a stretch.
what i don't think is the right course of action is to kill off the millers today. i want to see how the timeflux-blargkawl pans out on Day 2, it sounds very exciting. killing the millers right now would take away the opportunity for us to crack open this timeflux conundrum. long live blargkawl.
