Maybe? Only way to tell is if it happens again, really.
Just caught up, and yes, he says in his first post he was cursed.
It doesn't do anything else to you, just forces you to have that line in your post?
I'm not accusing you of copying my vote. My point was my vote for Terra was criticized at length. You explained your vote but were never really challenged on it to any great extent while at the same time openly saying you weren't really married to it. You mention that you decided to just stick with Terra - what influenced that decision? You were watching closely and were aware a tie was possible - did that not concern you?
Nah I just started a Retro fan club. Members: Me.
I got cursed and must do this in every post or die.

Appears to me like Kalor was hit by a vig or SK (unluckily on day 1) since Scum should've had no problems letting us spin our wheels today trying to lynch him while they went for Splinter.
Other than that, I'm curious if MickD is going to continue his 10 post frenzy from yesterday and then ghost us.

I think town? As a scum power it would be very weak and also risky to use in the case of trackers or anything. Though I guess it could lead to an extra death so maybe that's shortsighted.
Yep. Just the line and the chance of death if I fail. Let's hope I don't copy something awkward in the future and paste that instead! Could end up dead AND embarrassed in one fell swoop.

I went pretty hard on people trying to lynch him yesterday due to none of them seemingly having any good reason to do so
What I don't get is why mafia would have a vendetta against him, unless they somehow knew about his commuting (outside of some hidden mixed-alignment chat, I'm drawing a blank here)
could I get an answer from someone not you? thanks
I know vigs aren't supposed to fire on N1, but SKs shouldn't care unless they're trying to blend in as one, right?
would suggest that our Vig/SK is probably less experienced, especially if they're a vig
I've usually seen curse inflicters end up as neutral though with each curse being necessary for their win con.
A small back and forth I had earlier in the day, where I briefly considered moving my vote off of Terra after he said he was gonna to have his spot replaced if he wasn't voted out. I decided to stick with Terra because I'm not a fan of being wishy-washy with how I vote towards the end of the day, and since it was a gut feeling over Lifeline initially. If there wasn't the end-day scramble and it looked like there would be a tie, I still wouldn't of changed my vote to Lifeline.
Finally day 2.
Honestly if that happens I'd want him lynched. Doesn't seem in anyway to help the game.
That, and he was the person under most suspicion at day end, maybe they just wanted to kill the guiltiest party available which is bananas
Inactivity seems to be rearing it's head on this game (myself included, unfortunately, though RL stuff got in the way in my case). Could very well be noobish behavior at play, scum or otherwise.
Does anyone wanna know who I think is scummy since I just joined the game? I'm surprised no one's already tried to get me to say something regarding it. 
Also, I don't think the speculation about Natiko's curse is gonna get us anywhere, at least not today. Not saying this to try and stop people from talking, but I think we'd be better off talking about other people.

who was the person under most suspicion?
I didn't think it was either of last night's deaths?
An interesting stance. I believe you mentioned early if a no lynch should be considered given it's role madness so I can't fault your consistency I guess, even if I do think a no lynch would have been very negative for us given today we may have just gone right back to a repeat of D1.
Long Live RetroMG, Magnanimous ruler of Gafia
True. if MickD was scum, then depending on the role he may have, it could be a trap.
I brought it up for consideration and agreed that it would be the wrong decision to make like five posts later.
I dunno what kinda of lines you are trying to draw here.
I was saying your indifference to a no lynch fit with your early day thinking, but thanks for correcting me and pointing out that it in fact does not make any sense.
Long Live RetroMG, Magnanimous ruler of Gafia
I mean...I would hope inactivity isn't a problem since you're required 10 posts a day phase. Unless explicitly looking to toe the line is what they want
Why not? The rationale being that scum would never do something so blatant works in his favor. He can shit post 10 times this amount and have one moment of clarity a day to vote with people defending him on principle when we get too near lylo.
Mystery solved, it looks like - whether town lynched him looking at a scumtell or mafia shot him looking for a major role, the claim would've worked either way
Which would probably imply that he's the mafia death? unless we have a bad vig
With regards to Lifeline being town and Terra jumping out after him I'd say the person under most suspicion would be Kalor or Acohrs just based on votes.

Catching up, so natiko you have to post that line every time or you die? Got it.
I'm thinking Kalor was the scum kill honestly. He was right in the mix with votes, but also voted for both players. Sure he came in third, but so did batsnacks and natiko.
normally I would say that scum was hiding in the last half hour vote fest, but those people are all dead and cursed now except Sorian, Dr worm, star sketch and terra/flame.

Splinter being killed is a bit hard to parse. They were interested on getting votes off of Terra and Lifeline to an extent before the end of the day, but settled on voting for Lifeline in the end, having previously voted on Natiko, Kalor and me. They also showed favor in a vote for Dr Worm towards the end of the day, but pointed out its futility.
I'm more inclined to think scum were just sitting by. I highly doubt Flame is scum given what Terra attempted at day end. If that assumption is correct then we know it was a Town v Town day end. What would scum care about the result? In that instance the worst case scenario for them is a tie, but they know generally people work to avoid this.

Exactly, normally day 1 end is scum leading town down the primrose path to ruin. And i would say that most of those left are likely town
Oh whoops, sorry I misread your post a bit. Then we're at least conceptually on the same page in that regard.
Long Live RetroMG, Magnanimous ruler of Gafia
I'll do a little bit, just who made an impression on me.
In reading through the thread, AbsolutBro has seemingly flown under the radar, at least on Day 1. However, every time they posted I agreed with them, which I found really weird. For that reason I'll lean town as they made some of the same observations/thoughts that I had in looking at Day 1. I think Fireblend is town, but that's more on a gut feeling than anything else.
I didn't really put too much thought into the stuff Sorian was saying (I read it all though), as it seemed like how I've seen him play before, both town/scum. I figured that today and potentially later would be better to observe than standard day 1 playbook. My favorite thing of the day was the brief attempt at a batsnacks train, would loved for more people to hop on that for a longer time to see where it would have gone. Similar to Sorian's play, at least to me in terms of activity, is Faddy.
A few things he said gave me pause and I feel like he might be scum? I mean it was day one so its not that much to go on, but I just have that feeling. (Agreeing with AbsolutBro again :\ ) I liked what Fireblend said on 676 about his play. Sidenote that Faddy wanted to lynch Natiko after they gave a scum read on him. For now:
Vote: Faddy
Also on my not like list: Time, Natiko (this might seem hypocritical, but out of the two of them I choose Faddy first), and Zipped.
I thought Lifeline's 747 post was pretty funny, given the opportunity to pick one of three people and manages to pick none of them.

Like I said, just a gut feeling. It was a N1 kill, so it's not like a lot of trust had been really built up during D1. This is especially true if only town were suspicious of Kalor (which scum would know), as it renders any D1 discussion about him moot. By killing him they also prevent him from talking his way out; they didn't know his role, for all the knew it was powerful. By killing him they mitigate that risk. A player not on the chopping block is less likely to spill anything they may have learned anyway.
Fair enough. Though IME even that can be tricky, since you might not always have a frame of reference. See: Bronx the ascetic in whatever game that was.

goddam, you all added like a page while I was typing (and playing overwatch)
Yeah lynch the guy who was trying to change the thread away from a pair of town trains. If I were scum why would I even bother.
Says the guy that attacked me over a Mazre vote. So much hypocrisy in your statements. Just like how you originally voted for me for "piggybacking" off Kalor's (completely different reasoned) vote on Terra only to then later piggyback Sorian yourself to try and attack my Mazre vote. There was a glut of posts after Terra tried to buddy up to Lifeline calling it scummy and I wasn't the only one to vote him based on it, I was just the first. You're either tunneling or pushing an agenda.
Long Live RetroMG, Magnanimous ruler of Gafia
Because of what you just said, if you were scum you could come out of it looking good by saying, oh look 'Im getting the vote away from two townies, arent I great!'.
Could be either. Off the top of my head this power was town in election mafia and scum in night vale. It's been in other games too and was even neutral on persona I think?
I completely forgot Splinter softed a role claim. So yeah, I'm still with my gut here.

Meant to quote Faddy too. Double lynch days are the perfect day for one policy lynch and one "I hope this is scum" lynch so there is nothing wrong with both conversations happening.
Not particularly alignment indicative. I think we've had examples of both in various games here at GAF. We may be able to posit some things about the user or their targets later but for now we can't do much with it. My gut assumption would be town in this instance, based on a weak notion that a curse sounds more arkham resident than batfam, but that's not very reliable.
Still early in the phase but I still kind of like Dr. Worm for scum. I'll probably review his d1 posts again before dropping a vote though.
I also think the following 2 sets of players are worth a deeper look.
Remaining players who voted for Terra/Flame - Fat4All, SexyFish, Acohrs, and Verelios
Players who didn't vote for either Lifeline or Terra (and weren't absent)- Faddy, Fireblend, AbsolutBro, MickD, (and myself, though obviously that's an effort for someone else)

I attacked you for your Terra vote, not Mazre.
Just to recap it for you Nat. Kalor was the top scum read at the time when Terra started being stupid with Lifeline making him suspicious. You then quickly followed in behind Kalor's vote hoping the two players already under suspicion would take the heat.
It was a very sly and safe vote. Fat4All did the same thing
Sorry for not being an idiot on day 1.
I could buy this as MickD being vig, tbh - MickD had a vote on Kalor left at the end, though I guess that's due to not showing up
whether or not that would prompt killing him on the basis of assuming he'd only flip towns, idk
Out of curiosity, why is the list that voted for Terra/Flame interesting and not the list that voted for Lifeline? Lifeline is the known quantity in the equation, just because I have a heavy hunch on Flame doesn't mean he can be treated as 100%.
Size and shoddy statistics. 8 players left on that list versus 4 on each of the other lists. If scum try to spread out (not guaranteed) easier to hit a needle in a smaller haystack. Not ruling anything out but I need to start somewhere even if that means a few faulty assumptions.
