    Ok, I've seen enough suspicion of me, zenzao, newcomb, fishy, and maybe jan.
    No reason to lynch any of those today.
    Lynching font is probably not a good play either, fun as it is.

    Vaimes, citrus, riley, miner all seem like reasonably consensus townreads.
    We should probably consolidate on one of them. We've got a little over 3 hours left.

    Why I'd make this post as town: just trying to reach a reasonable consensus, while making sure it isn't on zenzao
    Why I'd make this post as scum: Even I occasionally succumb to the IIOA trap.
    Why I actually made this post: to galvanize y'all into doing something

    TIA

    I can see Riley response being towny, but you had a fairly hard townread on him before, do you mid spilling that one out?

    I only remember tinyhunt with him and the main aprt about that game is that I do not remember a lot at all regarding him (very low postcount in a way slower game).

    Him being more active makes sense considering what he is writing this game.

    I think him coming back to his initial questions and asking about them is fairly towny, but not enough to say he is a hard townread as you did.


    Give me your townread on him before his reaction, if you had one.

    Hey Citrus! Do you mind giving me your thoughts on
    1. Newcomb

    2. Tom (And Newcombs meta read on him being good or bad)

    3. Snowvon

    If you don't mention anything else I will assume first quote is for Newcomb, 2nd Tom, 3rd Von. Unless you make severeal posts with multiple quotes in that case 1 post newcomb etc.

    Gambit concluded. See spoiler for answer.

    Fonti asks if my wall is scum-to-town. She already knows it is - everyone who has played with me since CYS knows I post my walls in reverse order. This is two-fold; to trip up people unfamiliar with my style and to stand out against the crowd. I answer her: Why would it be? as the clue that I'm lying and my habits are the same as they've always been with read walls, but she takes it at face value.

    The point was to shake things up and get some opinions flowing. For the first time this game Fonti actually addresses me head on instead of that bullshit about lynching me without answering, and I even got some strong read responses of hers regarding New and tom from it, plus a renewal toward lynching Riley.

    Why would I dump that kind of read wall otherwise when I'm generally viewed in a good position for the D1 lynch leading up to the final hours? If I'm a Mime all I had to do was stay silent, coast on through to DayEnd, and let Fonti assume scum-to-town on my blank reads list rather than come out and dig at her with a reversal of several stances(ie tom, Rubicon).
    [​IMG]

    Real reads:
    Tom - Still feels like scum. My opinion hasn't greatly changed on his behavior. He never answers me on why Fonti is so town, on top of the other misc avoidance's despite answering others. 3P!Titus pulled this same crap after we'd just played scum together over a year ago - never addressing my points directly but continuing to sling shit because she knew I was town. Getting the same vibe from tom.

    Rubicon - Some bits of townie behavior occasionally peak out(again, reference his prodding of New over me, but that can also be construed as attempting to garner an idea of how to play him after my lynch) but by and large he's feeling more Mime than town. He brushes off my inquiry about why miner is suddenly more towny than I am. If I'm wrong about him then I'm feeling much stronger about Newcomb.

    New|Jan|Miner|FishyJ - New's post on page 4 listing not-lynchs to lynchs pinged me as possibly mimicking the general opinion of the thread, and stuff he has said since then has strengthened my feeling that he isn't playing as a townie. He asked for my top lynchee but never followed through when I gave him my not-lynchs instead. His wall post felt ehh-ish with that scummy blend of half-and-half truth to bullshit. He responds to one interaction instead of the entirety that I and Rubicon have had and it all just feels like he's deflecting. His read on me is lukewarm too.

    Jan could use some more examination. Because of how closely he and New are playing off each other I'm account for the chance of bussing or just plain subterfuge, and I'm still not entirely satisfied with Jan's answers but am willing to give him the benefit of the doubt for now. Null.

    Miner and Rubicon's early interaction rubs me wrong in addition to his advocating for scummy play(which they both did) and he doesn't place a vote at all despite RVS(which, to be fair, I haven't either). He doesn't vote later on after addressing me re:Fonti. Avoiding votal analysis is more accurately placed at his feet than Atum's.

    FishyJ and Rubicon interaction rubs me wrong too, and I'm still waiting on that reads response.

    Riley|Atum|Citrus|Snow - Riley's not doing a great deal so far regarding interactions. I want to see more out of him but I like that he didn't just jump on my wagon and argued for using the time left in D1 rather than close things out sooner.

    Atum seems to be his usual town self but he also needs more posts to draw something from him. His response to my initial and blank reads wall sounds about right for my memory of him.

    Citrus' shtick is alright and if I take a Mime!New world and New's wall into consideration its possible that Citrus is indeed town but the silence aspect of his quoting instead of posting is still feeling a touch too on the nose to be taken as wholly town behavior.

    Snowvon also needs more inspection but feels townish more or less.

    Fonti - Most of what New said on her still stands(because scum can in fact occasionally tell the truth to mask their lies) and her saltiness is a breath of fresh air. I'll admit to browsing the OP when the game started and misread the 5 post limiter, and it looks like Atum did too which only reinforced my misconception until she pointed it out.

    If we aren't lynching me in the next few hours and we aren't lynching Fonti by way of her stance to survive, then I'm alright with Riley as a middleground and I'll vote thus, but I like Jan's response and would also like to hear from Fonti first on that.

    (p.s. I've been sitting on this post ever since I finished up with the previous one and I was on the fence about going through with the bullshit answers in the first place, but we'll see as the game proceeds if I make the correct decision or not).

    Kinda impressed.

    No way that was not planed from the get go just because of the size of your 2nd post (not something you would write up in a few minutes).

    Depending on fontis answer we could still lynch riley, that would most likely force the mimes hands.
    Or we lynch Zenzao and scum can kill who they feel like killing.
    fontisian gimme that riley read in all its sweaty spicey hotness.

    Was about to be really sad that I missed the lynch vote. But despite working overtime today, I got back in time.

    The mechanics of this game makes it so that Mimes want to get lynched, I honestly don't care if I'm lynched or not. Go ahead fonti, run the wagon down on me if that's your perogative. I just hope that when I'm dead, mimes don't NK you else there'll be way too much confusion.

    I honestly would feel more comfortable lynching Jan. Mainly because of how quick Jan was to cozy up to Zenzao. It could just be a that Jan is a complimentary kind of guy, or it could be an attempt by scum to buddy up with a towny to last out the game.

    Vote: Jan

    ---------- Post automerged at 06:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:49 PM ----------

    If it gets to 9:30EST (My time) and no one else is on Jan, than I'll swap to whichever wagon is strongest so the RNG doesn't kill one of us at random. At least that way we can analyze the wagons for scum.

    This is fairly confusing.

    Do you think you get any information from my flip either way?

    Your read sounds like it is a potential scumread, which is fine, but why vote for a potential scum?
    What would you get from me flipping town/scum from your perspective?
    Why is it worth the risk trying to get someone lynched that you don't feel good about?

    Ideally I'd rather not lynch any mimes, but if we lynch one and look at the posts, we might be able to determine who the other one is. It's a risky plan and probably better reserved for a later Day, but I thought I'd take a shot.

    That said, I also did indicate that I'd switch 30 minutes before which is plenty of time for either a new wagon or more conversation but at this hour it's not really likely we'll get too much more pertinent information prior to the lynch and NK. Plus Night isn't that long from what I remember, it'll be super quick so we can get right back to discussing whom to lynch because they're Town and whom to save because their Mime.

    Backward thinking might be key her.

    I get your point, but you don't need to vote for me in that case, because almost no one will agree with you (just because of your case/reasoning).

    It might be a curious topic to talk about before EoD, but in a game like this there is no actual vote pressure.

    Not sure why yall always leave the decisions so late. But I'll be here for the CFD.
    We really need some people to unvote zenzao.

    Town: zenzao is scum, and we really need to come to an agreement
    Scum: don't want to be randomly killed. less chance to troll you all.
    Actual: vague frustration with meta clash

    TIA

    Citrus, I was not joking when asking for your input.

    Like .. if you are town and you die tonight without clearing up that situation (if you can), then finding the scum between them will become 10 times harder.

    Newcomb....I'm lost. Your memes make me laugh but I can't tell what they're supposed to mean.
