If Crab is feeding us shit then I'm happy to eat it another day apparently. I don't lynch there, like it or not, his last post is right.

Post another target if you want Crab to live.

I am not going to listen to arguments for a Bronx lynch unless you show me more substance and get people who have contributed to agree with you first.

I'll go ahead and say what I thought.

No it wasn't that he was me.

I was more concerned about the possibility of blarg being some type of third party role who is hunting for a particular "user". His frequent insistence that he wasn't blarg and asking others if they were blarg made me think he may have been trying to bait out name claims by people. I would recommend not disclosing that information on the off chance that he is a hunter type role.

I saw that but I read it a different way. I thought that him saying that he wasn't Blarg and asking who people were were to imply that his role had memory problems.

I like Crab's post. Feels really honest.

My opinion on Bronx has changed slightly. Before I didn't see the arguments but his random AF post in retaliation to Crab is worrying.

Faddy, why the vote change?

I hope you paid the toll when you entered this tunnel.

Also take off your blinders and read the rest of my post.

Because this is my break time for the next 20 min at work i cant get back to anyone after day ends.

VOTE:acohrs

Because that whole derailment did not sit right with me.

If i did bronx, it might go back and forth during the day with crab and it could cause some weird things to happen with voting especially with blarg around and i still believe bronx is a misunderstood townie.
 
It's an Override, isn't it, Crab

It's cute that you're going with the rising dramatic tension route, I knew you were capable of horror but not suspense

smh at people calling my Bronx vote lazy. Look at the difference in the quality of play of this thread before and after my vote. Before: random chaos and shit, with intelligble posters not bothering to make contributions because it was too much of a mess. After: a string of high reasonably good posts that carry much more analytic weight. Even CCS stepped his game up. That wasn't a lazy vote. It was an intentionally and deliberately placed vote to change the pace of the game. I've now done that. There's material to look at. Accordingly, I can go look at that material, and come up with a vote intended to lynch scum, rather than a vote intended to shape play.

Accordingly, brb. Will vote scum in next post.

And he was forever known as The Difference Maker, the hero that GAFIA didn't need, but the one it deserved.

I am not voting Bronx. I believe him to be town more strongly than anyone else except Vere.

Also Crab is probably my strongest scum read right now.
 
I think of the Override as inherently more of a jump-scare tool, though. When you simply deliver it unsaid as opposed to hinting and hyping it up, that's what makes the moment special. I enjoy the cheap thrill of spontaneity, sue me.

Lone_Prodigy, what's your opinion on the most entertaining use of an Override Power

And me voting for you tipped it over the edge? Seems like a scum defensive move

No because i dont want a tie to happen between bronx and crab?

And since i wont be here at day end, i cant change around votes at the last moments so itd be better to vote on my second choice.

What had led to Vere being your strongest town read?

The player who best combines useful and rigorous analysis with a reasonable (neither too strong or too weak) reaction to other players seems the most likely to be town on D1. That's Vere for me.

All right Crab mantles himself as the Emperor of Gafia, the saviour of the discussion. Still wanting to hear more.

Apparently Worthy has a vote on Bronx that has gone unexplained! Not like I'd do that ever.

Natiko brings up a fine point about Crab's vote on Bronx. Crab finally explains things.

The more the discussion circles around Bronx the less I like the lynch. I am reminded of countless other games where this same situation has happened I feel. Someone gets heat on day one and either dies or alternatively succumbs to the heat a day or two after. But now that I went through the idea, maybe it would be better to kill Bronx sooner then. That'd prevent the endless "bububu what about BRONX" discussions tomorrow and on the day after.

Bear goes with the idea that looking good is a bad thing. Or in other words, Kalor is scum because of post timings and contents. I could see that being the case.

nin.exe has crashed again

Iirc I still have a vote on gry, did that because of low amount of appearances I think. Gry comments on the recent issues and offers the woe is me of small post count defense what I don't still like. Taking cover even before shots have been fired. but then again he writes in silly way sometimes forgetting that capital letters exist so he must be nice

I am not sure about Dragonz. Sorryan attacks Bear's attack on Dragonz's shitpost and I am with Sorryan, the shitpost attack is weak, even though scum do it and even if she has done it before.

Spooky face Stan returns. Does the Stan thing.

I don't like Crab's play at all. Either he's more of an egomaniac then I thought, or he's trying to set himself up as an untouchable town leader. The second seems more likely than the first.

I'll do it if you do it

ahem

This is a shitpost. It was a normal day in a perfectly normal sea. The sea was filled with water, because that is rather required if one wants to be a sea. But you need a lot of water, not just a bit. Oh and there needs to be salt in the water too. Hmm, but there are salty lakes too. Strange.

But in the sea was a Crab. Or was there, I do not know. Is the Crab in question a sea Crab or some other Crab? Perhaps an alien Crab? Spooky. Very spooky. The ordinary Crab of the ordinary sea began their ordinary day with a dance.

I really like the dancing crab it is soooooo cute~

I rescind my past read of you, not sure what that says of Fran yet but you are certainly trying to play up importance here. I'm not contributing to a Crab lynch, the extent of the wagon is crying over his Bronx vote which I have no issue with. Also ignoring people's thoughts because they haven't contributed enough to meet your standards is lol-worthy, almost as much as pretending that I haven't contributed.

How do you know there will be a tie? Why would that still stop you from voting for your first choice target if they really are your first choice target, surely if it's your first choice you'd vote for them, give a detailed reason, and try to win votes around to your side by pursuing that avenue, yes?

From my perspective, fran was not asking me why my vote was how it was, he was telling me that I was voting for someone who I didn't think was scummy. This has now been found to have been a misunderstanding maybe but the idea rung true during that time frame with how he spoke to everyone.
This is splitting hairs. The difference between telling you your vote is wrong and asking you why you appear to be voting outside of your scumreads is a matter of phrasing.

I haven't said you haven't contributed but I'm not walking into a lynch that has TWE and Crab votes bolstering it.

As I said before if you want crab to live pick anyone from this list and we can talk about it

Fran v Faddy is an interesting game and I'd believe one of them is right about the other. I side with Faddy and think Fran was the one pulling some shit.
Few people have said this now. Anything specific to Fran V Faddy that suggests this isn't town v town?

Will take answers from anyone on that.

I've mostly liked Kawl today but you need to chill on filling the thread with general Mafia -playing theory. It's as alignment-indicative as Bronx being defensive but takes longer to read.

Personally you were technically my second choice if you've read through my post that you quoted yourself

reread your quote again and the seemingly second choice option was CCS and me. So, after I posted my read of that post and voted for you, you decided not to vote for your first choice, and decided not to vote for CCS either. This reeks of OMGUS!

What do you think of his vote on Swamped then? Do you also think she has been reluctant to share her opinions? I personally feel she has shared far more than Vere himself has which makes the vote that still remains after all these pages seem off to me.

Frankly, that was a weak argument. So weak that I didn't even notice that it was your attempt at a justification for the vote.

Got anything else for me, or is that it?

Swamped is... strange. I am aware she's posted a reasonable amount, but I can't remember a single thing she's said. Whether that reflects more on me or her I don't know, but I don't particularly judge Vere for his vote as a result.

No. I have 23 players to choose from, I see no reason to narrow myself to your list of 7.

Will take answers from anyone on that.

People fell in line quick to choose sides and I feel like no one really played if off at town v town (until you). Most scum would just sit out petty early arguments like that if it didn't effect their team.

Maybe I'm being dense but I don't get this vote?

He's reminding me of the same density he displayed after Terra's death in DR. He seems to think he should get a gold star because he didn't OMGUS vote Crab or TWE and now that he's more in danger, he immediately went to go add another vote to Crab.

Did Crab's vote for Bronx change the tone of the thread? Or did Crab vote for Bronx as the tone of the thread was changing?

I guess we will never know 🤔

(It would not be unreasonably difficult for Crab to time his entrance claim credit for a natural shift in the thread. The progression of shitposting -> Crab post -> less shit posting was obvious several hours in advance of his actual post, and the tone of the thread had already started improving with Kawl's posts.)


But yeah I won't be lynching Crab today either.

Perhaps you should look back when you have time. I felt the same way but upon looking back there's actually more contributions than I would say 70% or so of the thread.

I mean that was directly in response to Natiko expressing why he didn't understand my vote. Not to mention, its something a large majority of our players need to read. But yea I won't be posting more blocks of texts like that or the discussion on the merit of policy lynching low posters, I've said my fill.

Who Crab voted for is whatever, his post coupled with his lack of content before did shift things though.

Choose form those 7 because when you add in OA and Crab that is over a third of players who haven't contributed in any sort of meaningful way and I don't think they deserve a pass.

Crab did change things with his post. What I'm trying to figure out is what about it caused so many inactives to come out of the woods. He could've voted anyone and the same thing probably would've happened.

Seriously though, Crab honestly seems pretty suspicious to me. Literally his only contribution so far is to complain about the state of the game and then justify his actions. No reads, no analysis, not even of the disruption he caused. Yes, he observed that it changed the pattern of the game, but didn't actually provide any analysis of bow.

That's worse play from him than normal, deliberate or not.

I find that Faddy brings to mind a certain brash quality, one that exudes a warrior will in its spiritual innocence and the lust for glory mutual to the advancement of his fellows; yet, the same temperament houses a more sinister instinct, that of the desire to impose on the others his preferred method of operation, with a harsh disregard for their own individuality.

Franconp summons to my thought a resolute statue upon a pillar high; brooding, furtive in its lofty worldview and concerned at the state of it, wishing for it better despite his own petrified predicament. From that very perch, he would swoop down and make a life of it if he could, but alas, not only does he know in his heart that he would plummet like the stone he is, he would assuredly crumble, upon striking the cobblestones.

Yes but why would scum come and complain about lack of content? Coasting suits them best. I'm not convinced at all by this vote my old mucker, any thoughts on gryvan?
