Yes, and I fully believe you have one. But you even admitted on Mafia QT last game (I had a lot of time to read it being NK N2) you were using your RL events to justify your lurking and coasting.
So why is this a problem when Chaqa does it, but youre totally fine when Damo does it? While Damo is also much more quiet and timid as scum, plenty of times.

Damo knows hes an easy townread when town. He's also fairly often pretty obvious as scum. If he has an important scum PR, isnt this exactly how youd expect damo to act as well?
I am not totally fine with Damo doing it, he isn't obvtown like in other games, but like you said he is also usually obvscum.
You might have some reason about scum PR, but the same can be said for town PR or even third party.
Damo was only ever obv!scum when he posted his stolen readslist from people's other reads.

From my memory, the other times he was scum he lurked and blamed RL stuff.

##SENATE NOTE
ARENA REPORT Day II Count II

First, a SENATOR never should admit that a senator was wrong. But this senator apologies to the gladiators for being unnecessarily grumpy.

Votes for the gladiator, “Hosuke” were not counted… because the cleric muttered, “these people can’t even remember for ONE DAY my request to write votes properly.” However, upon reflection, this Senatorial Cleric’s early statement to the room regarded Form/spelling, not a natural abbreviation for ItsHosuke’s name. And so, the vote count will reflect the votes cast. The Holy Bot will not recognize the name, “Hosuke,” yet, but that will come.
Ahhh shit, my advantage gone

damo is so disinterested and taken over by real life issue that he won't even look at any of us, not even 1 glare

I think he's got OFG problems, I'm hoping things will sort out for him and we'll get to fully enjoy him in the 2nd part of D2
We're here and I don't see a vote on the bot yet...

The only thing weird about Vapor is that he posted before the GM posted the night results, which means he already knew he was not going to die. There are different explanations for why that may be the case, and as you say, it will get resolved.
?
Are you baiting or something lol (since this seems like a completely useless detail to focus/comment on. As in, I agree with the sentiment behind it, but all the posting means is that the GM did or didn't send a death notice? not quite sure about the weird part
If he was jailed, he was not allowed to post at night. If he had died in jail, he would not be allowed to post next day either. He posted before the GM announced who had died, therefore he knew before the GM's post that he would not die. There are several explanations for how he could have known that.
Hmmm.... :?

Did you get a PM telling you that you may now post?
xorxes, I really don't wanna comment on what happened to me during night
This is very weird.

Why doesn't Vaporwave want to confirm whether or not he was jailed?
Beat you to this thought...

So now we have two unclaims.

Xorxes claims NOT Survivor.
Chaqa claims NOT Gladiator.

Whats more likely - he was referring to the PR gladiators or he is scum?

@Vapor,

While I'm not sure what there is left to discuss about your imprisonment, I don't like how you were unwilling to discuss it. A town death ultimately will happen throughout the game and so you may as well try to get as much information out of everything as possible.

Unless you already have a lot more information than us...

There three possible winners Town Scum or 3rd Party. Of these I want town to win.
Nope, there are four possible outcomes:

Town and 3rd Party win
Town wins alone
Mafia and 3rd Party win
Mafia wins alone

There is no scenario I can see where lynching the 3rd party is beneficial to town.
This is one of the more town statements xorxes has made.

I do not understand why people seem hyper-focused on getting rid of the survivor. Town should want him around to soak up a NK from scum...

Both of you have played with me enough to know that I'm not that involved in the first few days of the game ever. Too many people, too little information, too much based on bad reasonings. My wagon for example.

Xorxes is suspicious to me because of his initial claim, yes. The fact he played so dumb about it and came up with some convoluted reasoning just doesn't seem like something he would do normally, so I'm voting for him.

If we want sheer information, xorxes is a great lynch in utilitarian value as he was a pusher of the Prado wagon, was a polarizing Day 1-2 figure, and has been the basis of quite a bit of discussion. Knowing his alignment is valuable on many fronts and the fact he is being scummy as hell is the reason to vote for him as well.
IIRC xorxes usually focuses on game mechanics and his play this game isn’t like his usual play? I was only here really recently though

So here we are now, 2 fallen townies already.

No, sadly I am not playing any noobie card, I am trying my best. Clearly, not enough I see.

I still think my initial vote was right, and Vapor is not town. I still consider yuuki and Jamie or Ike persons of interest.
But not much reading ability from me, I agree, I am, in fact, at my first game.
I feel you, man.
Except it isn't your first game Hosuke...

Once again, I see a bunch of bumbling idiots on Chaqa and Xorxes.

I'd much prefer either Hosuke or damo to take the axe to their nether regions today than either of those. Look at recent performances by scum, there is a much more common tendency for lurkers to trudge along than try to sell themselves being town. Both damo and Hosuke (to me) are doing exactly that in this game right now - color commentating and next to no actual hunting or questioning from them.

Temasek looks like dogshit for parking his vote to intentionally tie the vote with 21+ hours left in the day. What's the point of trying to reaction test that far away from EOD?

Maybe I expect more from players in general, but the vote park by Carambola leaves a poor taste in my mouth. No real reasoning to be found in post history to justify the push imo. Only theory I have is he wanted to get others to join on.

EMC is also starting to drag on me. I sense strong lurking for ~reasons~.

Actually you really weren't. Yeah, you claimed Mason, but removing Fox and yourself from scum pools did help narrow down options for the scum team to hide.

The value in being a Mason is to coordinate and clear yourself. The secret chat is meaningless to the overall town team.

##vote damo

I’m pretty sure he’s fairly obvious to recognize whether he’s town or scum. He’s leaning scum at this point imho

Oh no, I was not looking for group integration, I was really saying my mind. there is reasoning, of course. They have the kind of activity I would expect from scum.

##GM NOTE

Point of clarification. A challenge will need to be sent to me and Darg, at the latest, ten minutes prior to the end of the phase or before the end of the first 24 hour mark. If for some reason we aren't on at the end of the first 24 hour mark to adjudicate it would occur as soon as we are. One of us will always be on at least ten minutes prior to EOD (48 hour).
