Chaqa is very much town this game, yes a bit uninspiring, but full-fledged town

If Maniac gets to be killed by a meteorite and flips scum, remember this resistance to his wagon

so far, there are only 2 sexy towns on him: me and xorxes

people have come up with excuses for him, to be noted for later

So, I am not the only incompetent Day 1 Vig around. Worcej with one hour to go is a terrible choice.

Anyone on D1 is a horrible choice. At least vig didn't hit a PR

Yeah. First of all, it's a *strange* choice, and second of all, it's a hella risky shot.

I don't detect anything unusual about bozo from a meta perspective and think their day has played out very classically bozo. I also don't see anything about bozo from a purely in-thread perspective that makes them really scummy. I was pinged early by bozo swiftly condemning something as "bussing," but that's also a bias - people are always whinging on about bussing here, but it's so conditional that it's hard for bussing to be a reliable argument until you know at least one scum, so I don't cleave to people who go on about bussing of two or more persons of unconfirmed status.

That said overall I did rate bozo null. So... is there anything particularly convincing about bozo that makes them truly scummy and deserving of being lynched? Right now I am tempted to move my vote to ND because I'd prefer a policy lynch to bozo, but maybe I'm missing something juicy.

the only bad thing is that we dont know if thanos used that pre claim
which means thanos might be ND after all

lol

True.

Thanos would probably want to be on the lynching wagon in case there's a stone to be had though. That makes our best candidates for Thanos:

Nephthys
rdrivera2005
BunnyGo
Kitsune
KalelChase
brainbomb
EspressoPatronum

There's an argument to be made that Thanos would not be on the wagon though, so I guess that's not saying a lot.

@Kalel

Agreed, if that was sincerely meant then it could still be very useful information.

Snipping the top 5 on the list to look at, we have:

Espresso 8
Kalel 8
emc 7
bozo 6
Chaqa 4

Let's... politely ignore bozo's name out of respect and look at the rest using Food's heuristic.

Espresso - I don't necessarily trust his reads (because I can't, and because some of them are based on meta I'm not privy to) but he's actually growing on me with a positive and investigative style. I'm pushing Townlean here. He was in on the mistaken lynch of Bozo, as was I.

Kalel - Going back through his post list for Day 1, I'm starting to realise how little there was actually there. I still can't find anything bad there, but with the second lowest posting stats among players (yes, even yuuki came back with a vengeance) and precious little meat or investigation in his posts when they did come I'm pushing scumlean here. Newbie solidarity or no. He was in on the mistaken lynch of Bozo, as was I.

Emc - A long absence near the start which I'm fully aware from out-of-game reasons was genuine (*glare*) doesn't look great, but he came back with a vengeance to be a roughly middle poster. One good post around page 44, and then some solid reasoning vs Maniac and on the last minute voting shift. I'm pushing null here for our tiny overlord. Although if he starts snipping my hair I'm going to step on him. He voted Maniac, along with Xorxes.

Chaqa - Down in the low-posters again (18 according to the bot, which yes I'm learning to use). Low participation too, it feels like he's going along with the flow rather than offering up any new information or arguments. He claims that's his meta and most of you seem to accept that, but based on what I can see myself I'm thinking scumlean here until we see more of the active Detective Chaqa on the case. He voted ND, along with six others. Thanos did not prefer this lynch.

Thoughts: Why is humour and helpfulness a sign of being scummy? That seems like it would be helpful for a town pulling together to figure who is right and who is dead?

That's an interesting question. Would SK risk being discovered (or at last restricting a lot the possibilites) to get a stone or just use his power to generate confusion and hide deeper.

Anyway, good move from Bozo and I was wrong about him again

Have to reconsider some things.

And finally

From the Maf QT
ND: By the grace of Donald, I now pronounce you... raptor Jesus

Temasek: I was hoping this ceremony would be like... better?

Rivera: *sips caprini's*

Neph: I dont want to marry a dinosaur.. can we do something else?

Rivera: *puts on capri pants and rides a horse down the beach screaming the british are coming*

ND: The BRITISH? Those socialist scum? The UK is one step away from Pol Pot.

Temasek: I think I wanna concede. this maf team sucks.

Neph: Yes. but at least were not those evil communists

How is it even possible that 3 of us from the M48 scum team are back again, what are the odds?! Also, more unrelated note, but what’s a Capri pants?!

A meta comment on rdr,

If you look back at last game, D1 there was a lot of

"I think this..."
"A fw thoughts so far"

On the whole he gives his opinion on peoples play and offers original reads organically as they present.

There is less coherency in his game this time. Its more commenting on this as they occur, without a final summary.

I don’t know surely scum would’ve preferred a tie to limit knowledge rather than using the power boast to break the tie if ND was scum?
