You know what I mean.
I guess still Sawneeks
I was just going through the player list to make sure I hadn't forgotten anyone, and holy shit Barrylocke is in this game?
Sawneeks for you too?
Come to think of it, why didn't you notice nor comment on Barry's death?
I noticed at the time, I don't know why I forgot it just then.
I didn't comment? I guess I had nothing to add. He's a low info kill - presumably had already been pointed out - and his flip isn't very helpful for the time being. I'd rather wait for those [redacted]s to be revealed than waste discussion time speculating.
In context. When there's already a discussion going then I don't register it, but dropping fluff in the middle of nowhere is conspicuous, that's what I meant by fluffy
It's worse than that since I was looking at the OP where his name is in bold 😃

Because she's scum or because scum are cowards and went for the low info kill.
Are we still pretending a double vote isn't a bottom-tier power?
That said, she clearly has the double vote ability, which likely means she's a pokemon and thus probably town, unless there is a scum pokemon? Maybe Meowth? Either way, probably not going to get us anywhere for now, I'm just sceptical because of how quickly she took my side on D1, but that's probably just my paranoia.
Caught as in "caught by a trainer" I assume

scum tried to kill her but a Doctor intervened on her behalf, Barrylocke was killed by a Vigilante or SK, or by a Veteran that he tried to capture
Oh now I'm confused. Did you mean caught by a trainer or "caught" (killed) by scum?
Why would scum have killed Sophia? She was one of the top candidates on day 1.

Had a stressful day and a half since I last posted. Been trying to stay on top of the thread on mobile, though!
My position is D. Your "All Pokemon are town unless caught by Team Rocket" addition is a good one, but runs counter to Sawneeks saying this about Price is Right:
However, your point isn't necessarily invalidated because it could be a differentiator between this game and Price is Right.
Sawneeks, thanks for the info about PiR. Since that did happen before, I don't need the extra stress of reading through that particular mason chat : P
I'm a little flattered that he is so aware of what time it is where I am at (as well as his expectations of when I should be posting). Leaning town, although it could also be a scum deflection. To be perfectly honest, when I was casually reading on D1 (before I was asked by Burb to sub) I felt that either Sophia, Darryl, or Ty4on were scum. Needless to say, that changed when I inherited Darryl's PM from Burb.
I'm not sure yet. I still have some reviewing to do after I post this.
I didn't say I was theorizing/speculating! I'm focusing on that because it's what I can focus on right now.
And yeah, Darryl's no-lynch did strike me as odd, which was disabused when I saw my PM.
No, I accused Sophia of being scummy and then acknowledged the counterarguments given me as to why she was not. Then I unvoted.
I'll be up for the next few hours, maybe until day's end (at my 0300h). I'll read some more, and finalize my vote in this period. We'll likely have more information by tomorrow why Sophia survived.

Really says a lot about TheGoddamn that we have so little to go off of we're analyzing Darryl instead.
Of course, he sure does have enough time to comment on the flip with mostly pointless speculation instead of scum hunting.
The darryl/goddamn combo is a weird part of this game for me, since I felt good about Darryl being town, but Goddamn feels a lot worse with his heavy focus on the trainer stuff and his weird theory that it is likely just a mason thing. This makes me feel confused

Yeah, I mean, there are obviously plenty of possibilities.
It's absolutely a bottom-tier power, I agree. That said, it's not like that is the sole reason to NK her. She's also a very active and involved player.

Scum were clearly trying to kill an active player. That's why Sawneeks, Splinter, me and I guess Blargonaut (postcount leader) are all still alive.

It called me names! :' (
That's a mighty pine avatar! Do you like mine, or does it make you gag
Isosceles is more similar to equilateral than scalene. Maybe isosceles represents trainers?
Possible, and now I realised there are only 3 of them.
I was using Sophia = Scum as a baseline though as that's the only serious(?) vote I remember from Blarg.
She also claimed a pokemon which makes neutral or trainer less likely I think.
Interesting. You haven't felt much of a presence from melon either, I take it?
Oh right. I mainly just forgot about her. She's still my third town read of the actives after you and Sawneeks.
Hello Sophia. Since you have a one time double vote, wouldn't it be more efficient if you would use it 4 hours ,or less, before the day ends ? What I am trying to say is that you can place a normal vote on one of the players that you find auspicious. But in the end , if you really want to make an impact it usually is more effective at the day end ( of course not too close to the deadline ). What are your thoughs on it and how will you be trying to use it in the coming days. ( Of course if you don't want to respond to the last bit I can understand since the surprise is also a ln effective tool )
Why did that change? Darryl I can understand, but why me and Sophia?
You don't think it's unusual that you forgot her? She has as many posts as me.

Uses PR ability 3 hours(?) before end of day, on Blargonaut for no reason other than to give him something to think about. Later goes back to El Topo. Intentional flaunting of ability. Wouldn't exactly say she's in danger with the vote count, believe it was tied between her, El Topo and Bronx-man at 2 a piece. May or may not have seen my unvote.
Yeah, I don't see that behavior as scum-aligned. Nor do I see it as town either.
That almost makes sense.

Sorry, I see now how my choice of words can be read another way. I'll recast: when I was casually reading the thread, I thought at least one among you, Sophia, and Darryl were scum. That changed in the sense that Darryl was eliminated from the possibilities when I got the PM from Burb. Then, later on my position on Sophia changed as well, which just leaves you. I've never played with you before, so I'm still trying to figure you out. You call me out pretty often and specifically as regards my timezone. As I told Blarg, this behavior seems aggressive town or deflecting scum.
Fair point, it could just be that.
I can't pinpoint exactly when I started thinking this, but for a while I've thought she's had less of a presence than her post count suggests. I know that even in day 1 there was a point where I wanted to call her out (I mentioned it but by then she had started posting reads) but I don't know what the post counts looked like back then.
Seems reasonable to me, she removes her double to preserve it. Not unreasonable given that it's an x-shot, but could point to ulterior motives (especially as she should have used it yesterday, either on melon or Bronx).
It does beg the question why she'd reveal on D1 though.
This, on the other hand... 🤔

I can see her being trigger happy and wanting to claim a PR so people voting for her get cold feet.
If she's a neutral who has to use it, why didn't she just claim right away or come up with a better excuse for her double vote?
Sure, what was it again? Of course besides speaking in codigos.
