Well boop. Boop boop boop. Stupid me didn't copy my message before hitting another reply button. Time to just type it straight in notepad.
This might be kind of long; I fully expect to be NK'd tonight (more on that later). It looks like everyone knows it is day, though Dedo will be gone until Sunday (at least).
-First:
Krypsyn: I posted my reply to Lifthrasil that erased my reads post (which I hurriedly remade without rationale). Ten to 15 minutes later Sage hammered. Ten to 15 minutes after than, I noticed it and posted my incomplete reads list. Five minutes after that Lifthrasil made the Dusk Post that ended the day.
Thanks Krypsyn. I feel a little better about the timing of Sage's hammer; I know I've certainly started a reply, gotten distracted, then not refreshed the page before posting. Still, seems odd to do so when we're in the "borrowed time" portion of waiting for nightfall. Sage's Day 2 posts haven't done a whole lot for my confidence level in her so far, though.
-Second, some people get a raised eyebrow:
1) Sage - Hammer vote and Day 2 posts, as described above.
2) Ix - seems rather erratic, though some of his posts look helpful.
3) Flub - also seems rather erratic.
4) JMich - Haven't heard much from him beyond the brief wagon analysis. Perhaps the lurkiest player so far on Day 2.
5) Dedo - Had time to contribute, said he was going to try, and now he's gone till at least some time on Sunday. I can sympathize with RL cropping up, but he's posted a few mostly empty comments in the last two RL days.
6) Me - What kind of weirdo has six eyebrows? (Yes, number 6 here is a joke)
-Third: Trent and TwilightBard have both moved toward the town end of my scale. Trent has some useful questions and comments, and Twilight's claim seems believable and will be very useful if true.
-Fourth:
The scum apparently didn't spend a whole lot of time discussing things last night. They picked their target, and maybe talked some about who they plan to try and lynch (and how). They might not have discussed a backup target, so if their initial plan fell through we can catch someone out.
-Fifth:
TwilightBard: Ok, for the people that were curious, for Day 1 I
WAS the Town Cop (Emphasis, HEAVILY on WAS). I don't have that ability now, it's gone to someone else, and I let RNG have it's pick of the townies so I didn't inadvertently do something stupid, and so I don't have an answer for anyone who tries to get me to prove it. I can't, and I don't have to resist the urge to slip up and ask for proof. Hell, I don't even know if it's the same power now, all I know is that it might be changed (Trying to keep from directly quoting my PM here), and that it's going to a townie.
Twilight, what else can you tell us about what you know of the mechanics? Can you lay it out in a list of facts? This might be something to coordinate with Lift, so you don't get zone-killed for quoting.
Example (using questions):
-You used your power, and now it has shifted to another player in some way. Was it because you used the power? Are you sure it will go to a townie, and not to scum?
-The power can change when passed to another player? How is this determined? Could another townie wind up with the cop power?
-Sixth:
I expect to die tonight, since several people are comfortable labeling me as town and now Twilight has claimed to use a cop role to scout me. Here are the possible scenarios, as I see them (assuming I were an outside observer):
1) TB is scum, and I'm scum. Neither of us will die unless scum has a janitor type power (no point in NK-ing killing team scum if town can see you did it). Even with a janitor power, it is still early to be whittling scum numbers.
2) TB is town, and I'm scum. Requires that TB got a faulty cop power and/or that I have a godfather power. Both of these scenarios seems kind of dick-ish in this format, but maybe there is
more to the setup than we currently know. I, personally, know this scenario is false, but I'd say that regardless of my alignment.
3) TB is scum, and I'm town. This seems an odd play to me, though possibly workable. He would be confirming a townie and get some town points, but I'd need to be a NK target afterwards. Scum would also need to have come up with the rules for how powers work, which means they either have at least one power (so they already know) or they'd be shooting themselves in the foot by getting it wrong (we'd find out eventually and have easy lynch targets). If TB confirmed someone else instead of me, then my mouth might have made me lynch-able later, though I'm currently more town on a number of people's lists. I can be safely killed tonight while he gets town points.
4) TB is town, and I'm town. The power worked as expected. If scum kill him, that prety much confirms me completely (unless they janitor him as well), so they have to NK me later anyway. If scum NK me, TB isn't fully cleared. I figure this is the most likely scenario.
Either way, unless some other target manages to become awesomely un-ignorable (or scum tries to cast doubt by leaving us alone), I expect I'll be joining Hijack and HSL in the observer lounge. On the bright side, I'll be able to post more of my joke-type thoughts there.
