At first sight there are 5 people who haven't voted yet. Please cast a vote, don't wait the the last minute. There are a lot of players who are to close with the votes so let's avoid shenanigans.

I see interest is dying which isn't exactly a surprise. I wouldn't be worried either as scum with votes this spread. You'd think Exodus would be preaching that point again now.

Wouldn't this be a pretty worrying time as one vote could cause an avalanche in the last hour?
 
Just woke up.

Vote: Exmachina64

Exodus made some really good points and, yeah that's pretty scummy looking.

Is there a short list of people I should post my reads on?

Except they are at full strength, they all have the benefit of their own votes as well s they have a degree of control while town is spread out.

Everyone but that's not the answer you are looking for, I assume.

Buzzard, Exodus, Vanguard, PK, and FEP if you want a small list.

There's pretty much no way I'll be able to post my full reads list in time (I'm going to crash, and when I take a nap i'm playing the hell out of Pokemon) but I don't see a problem with posting one section of my reads list + my vote.

18 TheExodu5: I've gotta say, you played an incredibly solid early game. You were active, your logic was sound and you really did give off the "helpful townie" vibe. But nobody can keep up a lie forever and you've been clearly slipping since then. Your recent play has been incredibly scummy, and you overtly tried to save yourself by voting on exmachina64 using some seriously weak ass justification. It's so unlike your earlier posting style which was more reasoned and less nebulous. And you even tried to manipulate us into doing what you want. "I think we hit exmachina?" No, you don't get to tell us what to do. But let me tell what i'm going to do.

VOTE: TheExodu5

To piggy back on this, the only reason you'd be worrying about a perfect reads list is if you were trying to keep up appearances. The worse thing you can do is just sit on a list hoping you are here tomorrow to post it.

I am, but I really want to get my vote in on time before the night phase and maybe start some sort of offensive movement working against TheExodu5.

And if I die I die. More time for Pokemon

I was really excited about posting my reads list since it seemed fun like a fun way to just cut loose and let everything out, but it really is a ton of work. I'm dead tired, and I just want to play some darn Pokemon.

I can post what I've written so far, though:

11037: The man with the unreasonably cool avatar has played a fairly cool game himself. He was one of the earliest to vote for Style and since then he's posted semi frequently. Posting when needed while not overextending himself, 11037 has played in a deliberately safe manner for the most part. That to me says… something. Like, he's been playing "correctly" I can't shake the feeling that there's something more about him, like he's just trying to keep a low profile. Leaning scum atm.

BlackBuzzard: Fellow newbie BlackBuzzard has either got to be the most nervous player out there (possible since this game is freaking tense) or an obvious scum. He's posted literally nothing of note since the game has started. An incredibly passive player, leaning towards scum.

II-Vanguard-II*: Vanguard doesn't have many posts, but he's been playing in an incredibly straightforward manner and his logic is succinct and sound. Leaning towards town.

No, you're not getting it. You posted as though you have more reads ready to be posted, but that you'd reserve them for a later date. For you, there might not be a later date, so there is no point for you to keep them. That is, unless you are confident you're going to be alive to post them when you want to.
 
i'm sorry but you're my only other read for now no matter how slight. i have no other substantial reads yet to go on.
Vote: exmachina64[/QUOTE]
 
Having now played a game with Hyper on the same account, I feel qualified to say that his posts are manufactured. He writes tons for usually no reason. If you feel like its all misguided and typed out for no reason, he's probably town, if you feel like he has an agenda, probably scum. It's that easy.

I uh

Gotta disagree there dude

Hydra was unique in that I could do my bluey ng out all over the place posts on the discord chat, and I also was a day and 100 pages behind so I wanted to avoid getting g us lynched (we were town). Especially after my "slip"

Dear god fkux, chill ffs

Given that I think buzzard is town (a top town read the) and exodu5 and exmachina are scummy, I guess I'll go through now and find the posts from then that made me feel that way

I got a look into your thought process with the discord chat but it's not like this is a new revelation. People can go look at Cthulhu vs. any of your scum games, election being a good one.

Both of them? I have a hard time believing they're both scum mates, unless they were bussing each other day 1 which...why would anyone do this?

I said my piece and presented my arguments. I am firm in my belief and I think the evidence supports me. There's nothing more I can do but let people make up their minds.

Busy day at work, but I'll try to come up with a reads list before day's end.

What you seem to be missing is that you aren't really on my plate today. Joining late plus me always finding you suspicious even when you are town (remember how much I stayed worried in NV?), you were never going to be my push today. Everyone else seeming to read you fine gives me no rush to try to guess a read on you without a voting record.
You should have an OK idea of how bad my scum game is and you did town read me enough to invite me D1 in Night Vale :p
 

Ty4on

Member
I'm giving Style the benefit of the doubt for now with his power role claim and PK Gaming hasn't been around enough for me to strongly suspect him currently. Vanguard, Hyperactive and Exodu5 are my current suspects. In particular, I think Hyperactive and Exodu5 are working together.
Lol

Pls nerf inactivity

Sure, because I thought you breadcrumbed cop on the first day >_> Then I had to keep up my lie in gossip chat due to worry that you were scum. I do have an ok idea of your scum game but I don't have enough info this early to make an opinion I'd feel at all comfortable in.

Even though he implied he was familiar with MAFIA, he soft claims saying "I'm a regular townie. Is everyone regular as well?"
I haven't seen Machina's reply, but I don't think this was so weird. He could be familiar with real life mafia which is usually played with no or very few roles and it's such an odd move as scum. It's just begging for people to look at you if he is scum and knows that there are plenty of roles (assuming this is an ordinary game where scum has plenty of power roles).

Ding ding ding.
 
I just don't understand. How Buzzard is trying to contribute? He is the classic definition of a coasting player. Nothing but fluff and really non commital posts

If I was posting like Buzzard I would be coasting.

I don't see coasting from Buzzard, he seems to be trying and making an effort. It's giving a town vibe the same way plop's first few posts (before he started to get more analytical) exuded a gigantic town vibe
 
Seems like a scum thing to do to ignore the rules of the game.

Something i have noticed myself is the absence of Starsketch who acted pretty suspicious in the beginning and has now just mostly laid low.

VOTE: ii-vanguard-ii

Has not said anything in the thread after his rng vote, for somebody that rng votes within the first day to then become completely silent makes him suspicious.

Also welcome WhereAreMahDragonz

So flux were in the first day why did you already ask Rynam to be open to sacrificing himself, don't you think that's a little to early for that?

So its a standard thing in the game to sacrifice 1 of the more silent/redundant players for the greater good of the town on D1?

That sounds logical. Thank you for explaining the reasoning behind the player sacrifice.

We are most likely going to lose someone anyway and i see the logic behind voting for some one hiding in the shadows pun intended.

So then why did you paint a giant bullseye on Flux's back? It sounds to me like he got under your skin and you just lashed out in an unreasonable way and you still have not responded to anyone asking why you think he has a power role.

VOTE: Style

Doesn't read like an attempt at bandwagon as much as seeing a bunch of votes on someone, wants to see why, then justifies it when he agrees/finds his own reasoning

Natiko

Put some pressure on Style and called out his zany post excuse. Made some good points about PK gaming's post game and ingame posting behaviour, all in all he asked some good questions in the early and mid game but since Kerned has been replaced has been a bit more silent. Im leaning towards townie with him.

Verelios

Has made some very insightful posts since the beginning of the game, that has helped me get more familiar with how this game works. My current thoughts put him on the town side of things.

Sorian

Has been pushing people to explain their thoughts on their votes and questions, this has influenced my own thoughts on other players. If he is town he is a very valuable player that could bring the difference later in the game, if he is scum he is extremely dangerous because he can influence the way people vote. Right now im leaning towards town with him because he has been very helpful in explaining things to the newer players, and he has just been very active and sharing his opinions on people more then anyone else.

Gonna be honest that took longer then i thought.

This seems genuine, a genuine effort.

ii-Vanguard-ii: after he said i was wrong about him he has not posted once.

Style: After saying Flux has a power role and not actually explaining why he thinks this, i think there is more to it then just lashing out or folding under pressure of being the vote leader.

Starsketch: Has been pretty much silent the entire game outside of laughing at something in her role PM, she is not being pressured in any way, so she can just stay silent for the remainder of day 1

Sorry to say i don't have my 4th scum read.

K so regarding pretty much all of BB's posts, I might not find them all too useful individually, but I honestly don't see why people would think he's scum. He exudes such a strong town vibe it's ridiculous. Like read these posts again and tell me scum would make them

VOTE: verelios

He's still on my list and, I don't know, this can confirm some hunches I have about some other players or clear their names.

My other bet is ii-vanguard-ii, but Sorian and Matt Attack are both on my radar and they are still stacking votes. Also maybe leaning towards exmachina64, but he seems somewhere on the middle on my reads... He could be both.

Will check in closer to the deadline.

I believe I did, I thought you breadcrumbed Carlos who I had pegged as the investigator from the start. Then being a gossip just leads to general paranoia anyway since one bad invite spoils the entire batch.

Wouldn't this imply it's happening again? Matt just voted Vanguard this morning and was not on him previously.

I'm going to for a bit, I should be back a half hour at least before time but I'll probably still check from mobile as well.

Alright, well firstly, I agree to let my current vote off since there's no point in lynching a potential power role, and it'll surface sooner than later if it was a lie. All of his posts sure do inspire confidence, though.

Unvote: Style

Who are the current potential lynch targets right now, so I know who to focus on instead of going over everyone in this limited amount of time? From what I gather, it's:

1. exmachina64
2. II-Vanguard-II
3. PK Gaming
4. TheExodu5

No point in not voting for one of these, if that's right.

So I'll look over the posts for them, post a reads list and probably a vote soon. I'll try to include more reads in case I bite it before the next Day phase starts, too.

So the bandwagon will be on one of those people? I still don't think PK is scum, maybe if stuff changes tomorrow but I am just not reading that. I will reread for exmachina, exodu5 and vangaurd.

I have a ton of interest in ii-vanguard-ii at the moment though. He's the only one who has consistently been leaning scum on my read lists. I just don't feel like jumping on a lynch mob started by you.

Really style, the only reason that you're reading me scum is purely OMGUS which while understandable leaves you alone on that. would you like to show some evidence or logic that as in how i've be "consistently been leaning scum" outside of you just not liking me.

Sure it's fueled by OMGUS, but I still don't like how you low key started a RNG vote and then did basically nothing for the rest of the day. Is it a bad read? Sure, my reads are horrible.
