On Day 1, in a large game, when people actually might be buying into such a game breaking mechanic existing, and 90% of the flavor screams "DON'T LYNCH ANYONE YOU MONSTERS!"?

In a heartbeat. Faster, if I can get any help.

Can you imagine a mechanic whereby the scum team can end the Day with a No Lynch damn near at will, by simply voting anyone at all and then unvoting to trigger a default No Lynch after just a few town votes? Sounds great, right?

I did. Three times. I very nearly suggested a better way of phrasing what I'm certain he's trying to get across.

I'm ashamed of you buying into such a mechanic existing, Yog. You should know better, being able to see the breaking potential as well as I can.

The OP says a majority vote does not mean a auto-lynch so it should it should apply to a no lynch as well.

I did indicate my flavor but was a bit obtuse. I have a farm, which I occupy with my wife. I slaughter the animals of villagers on request and have a swag butchering and meat curing setup. I also cook said meat.

Ok, overall I have to say D1 is a nothing burger. Maybe it's too many people, or the fact this is my first closed setup game, or I just suck... One thing I'll do and I want to point out is - I'm going to say I like or dislike people. Those comments are not alignment indicative. I will refer to actual alignment reads / feelz / bowel movements specifically as scum or towny. Heck wolf or towny. Despite wolf being the MU lingo, it's clearly thematic...

Laura (docbear) almost a derpclear, but it likely wasn't a role slip, so pretty much got nothing
Adam (Agent) promised to lurk less after last game, don't like how he is playing - I know he is smart
Bill (Quadr) I got almost nothing, but of all the ridiculous votes I think I dislike his the most. I'm collecting my thoughts and reading notes as I type this, but I suspect if someone puts a gun at my end, Quadr gets my vote.
Craig (Wyrm) love / hate relationship I found the setup pushing scummy, but he was right, so he's back at neutral. That cristigale vote though... he's kind of all over the space
Fergie (Nacho) where did this guy go? I'm pretty sure I really disliked a post he did at me. Tempted to reread for whatever Yog and Stan are seeing, but I don't really know him, so what he f should I look for?
Nathan (Dess) kind of lurkish, but maybe coming out of his shell? hehehe, I like my puns
Eric (Yog) another love / hate I still find the Stanari vote weird, but she seemed to like it, so my white knight attempt ended in tears. Jokes aside, alignment wise I got nothing.
Emily (Trent) like how he is keeping a cool head. Is paying attention despite posting little. Suspect our playstyles are very different, but that's good. If he is town.
Marie (Bler) leaning town for how he pushed on me. The only so far.
Sean'O (Lift) puzzling me, I think we are thinking too similarly on that whole ludonarrative dissonance crap, I'm willing to tell myself my initial dislike was just an uncanny valley thing, since I kind of liked his latest posts.
Claire (Cristi) the other keeping a cool head. I know our playstyles are very different from the Resistance game though.
Sarah (Tammy) I got nothing
Emma (Ix) I got nothing
Jay (SirFox) puzzling me, I made a note he seems to not be paying attention but don't rem what it was about
Jim (Sushi) I got nothing
Justin (Stanari) puzzling me, but I think I like the incisiveness - I'm jealous for sure, I only wish my walls of text were that short... would be in bed much earlier. Should reread her.

In summary

Bler leaning town

Cristi, Trent I feel good about

Folks I don't feel good about are either lurkers / floaters / coasters, or made votes I consider suspicious. The votes matter more to me, so Yog, Wyrm and Quadr. Yog and Wyrm I want to keep around longer...

Vote Bill

I'm confused by this. Do you think that we newcomers have a higher chance of picking the names associated with werewolves? Or do you have flavor reasons for suspecting a newcomer, which is the only logical thing to have that reasonable doubt about all newcomers? If it is flavor reasons for suspecting a newcomer how come you aren't looking at me more closely?

What concerns me right now is that you are shying away from attacking people who know you because they might expect you to read them differently and are taking an easy way out.

I haven't read the thread yet (I promptly took an accidental nap after my last post), so this point might be completely moot, but the idea of it pings.

Noted. I'm off to bed though... sorry but will wait for next time k?

Har har har, I was saying I'd come back later.

Welcome, Sarah!

I know nothing about any game!

I don't recall promising anything. I'm trying to keep up. I've been back at school for three days, and my schedule is starting to come together. Also, I don't remember having this much reading to do before. I'm struggling. However, it's now the weekend. I'll do my best to do better...


Back to Marie!

After reading over the infamous "trombone" incident, I'm inclined to see it as 100% normal Eric. Seems perfectly normal to me.

OK, now Marie finally gets some real thinking done.
That said, I agree with Claire (cristigale) that Marie's timing is off, but his reasoning is good.

I'm not so sure that these are true 'events'. I also learned quite a bit of bonus flavour, but I don't recall noticing a trigger. I'll have to go back and check.

FWIW, my PM has little about the incident, except that it was horrendous, and that Julie was very close friends with my children.

My beard is considering it.

Official Bloat Count: > 5

Many more than 5 bloats on here.

No, I won't tell you what I mean. The beard needs a secret.


Interesting...

I'm inclined to believe Marie is actually on the side of the village, despite her ... flaws.



No reread, no refresh. I live life dangerously. And I'm off to dinner. Be back later.

that's what she said!

Thank you. Your explanation confirms what I was thinking. Another gutsy move on your part. I'm curious, though, why the vote on cristi?

I'm half-way tempted to move my vote off lx and let the mods deal with him. I'm most suspicious of are yogs, Quad, and possibly agent. Cristi, trent, wrym, and bler are leaning town. Dess, Lift, Brasas, SirCrimson, Nacho, Tammy, Dragon, and Stanari are in my neutral category.

Ixamyakxim has been penalized

How do you penalize a guy lying dead in a ditch somewhere?

Just gonna jot this down because I got to page five and then got distracted, and I don't want to forget my thoughts. I don't really have any at this point. I'm still trying to remember who's who when the post.

I like Bler. Bler's the one that I remember making me chuckle after my first post and they continue with that in the first few pages. I'm not really sure if they've done anything alignment indicative. I just like their posts. I could want them to be town for that; it's an early game/day one weakness of mine, but i don't think that's the case. Oh I did like the post when they pointed out the way that they communicate with yogsloth. It felt earnest.

I'm leaning towards liking Brasas. Similar situation as above, but not as much just I like their posts and want them to be town as they feel somewhat town.

I'll be surprised if I have a true scum read to speak of before I'm finished with the thread, but it's possible. A couple people I'm watching to feel out as I go along, but nothing great to speak of yet. I apologize for referring to you guys as they, but you don't have gender markers here and I don't want to be rude.

Oh nacho of the HUEHUEHUE i saw you've ENTERED. Do you agree with my two leaning town reads? (I haven't read your posts yet other than the entrance which was huehuehue, so you might have mentioned these already, so I'll get there, but humor me :) if you have).

Helpful primer for everyone:

The female players in this game are cristigale, docbear, Tammy, Stanari.

Everyone else is a dude, but I think one or two of you might have Mommy issues. Just sayin'.

Thank you!


And two things I forgot and have been patiently waiting my ten minutes:

Also, I saw that secondhand revenant was signed up but who is he here?

And, for whoever asked, I think Brasas. I was Melisandre.
