Seems without posting much, I've already made thread enemies. This'll be a different game for me since I don't really have the capacity to deal with gripes against my playstyle. I'll just quick hit the main opponent and move on.
Laundry, I get it. You dislike my playstyle. That does not mean every post you quote or thing you discuss about me should be regarding my playstyle. I have to say that your malor vote is something I dislike because although their posts have been mechanical, what about them are scummy? I was going to push your slot more if you really were pushing soup over his early posts because that is just the super easy way out of getting some easy points. Soup's posts have not made much of an impact into the thread and I think that is because he is being cautious to not truly come into the spotlight. We both know that when push comes to shove, soup will reveal his true alignment when he is brought up to the mic. In a game this size, soup is an easy read for me I am watching much carefully then he probably realizes. This turned more into my read of soup since you voted him, but your malor vote does not make much sense to me either. To put it quite frankly, your votes are weak and I see more "pushing what is easy" rather than "pushing what is scummy" especially when combined with your superfluous mention of your dislike for my playstyle which is incredibly easy to do. Literally every slot in this game so far has mentioned that they fear my slot. I will always be in the spotlight and I understand that so I don't get the mention of saying that I am "hiding" when I've been pretty here in the thread.
I've got my eye on you currently because I dislike a majority of what you have said thus far and comes to me as scumLaundry filling the thread and feigning content to appease the crowd. Correct me if I'm wrong, but do you honestly feel Malor is the scummiest in the game? You say you understand Glyph's reasonings, but what about his actions make you think he is town? You mention you want something substantial or evidence that something took place, but how do you expect me to produce said evidence without being modkilled since it was presented in PM. It's mouth of word and you should be able to see from my diction in the thread that it actually did occur and I am telling the truth because I know you are smart enough and logical enough to see that.
Glyph reads as...well not smart currently. Mod-meta'ing a little bit, the role Glyph has could very well be scum simply put because Ryker loved to make mention of his Day-Vig game that was stellar play and I could see a role like that being given to scum. Do I think this is the case with the current slot/action? Not really. Glyph just seems more obtuse in the way he is looking at certain slots. Saying that I am not really doing anything is actually contrary to the thread state and also I wouldn't be much of a conversation piece. His read on Sparky has devolved from the fact that he "role-claimed" on him and he seems to just be biting onto that. I think Glyph is mistaking "Disagreement" for "Scummy" and to fault him for that I truly cannot do since I have a similar way of thinking depending on the game. I will say that Glyph's reads, however, are not something I really am too worried about. If he continues down this avenue of thought without reflection and consideration, then I will make sure to hone in on him and truly make him pay for trying to shoot me D1 and knock me out early. I understand the rationale behind shooting me. That's not the problem I have with his shot. I have the problem that he did not wait until later on in the dayphase to do as such for a mid-day breviety so that we may examine a slot if the shot went through. The way I think of it, it would be a good thing to help D1's no connection or paper trail to have a dead slot half-way through the day. The fact that he came into the thread guns blazing and trying to knock me out makes me believe he did that just for his own being. Do I think it is a scum-team decision? Possibly. Glyph is a curious slot because everything he has done this game is scummy and towny at the same time. To clarify, I mean that Glyph has been doing things that are both scummy/towny at the same time and can't be faulted or cleared by any of his actions. He is the most null player out of the game and he is playing that way on purpose. Why? That'll be for us to find out later, but I could see myself getting behind pushing a Glyph lynch toDay just to make sure that we clear up his slot sooner rather than later. I would like to see what he does with his PR toMorrow since he did say he has one, but it would not stop me from lynching him toDay because I am not that curious.
Soup is playing exactly how I expect him to play for his first game back into DGames. He is being incredibly passive and conforming to whichever power player is in thread. When I was making waves in the beginning, he agreed with me. Now that Laundry and Glyph comes in and says they dislike me, he literally waffles onto their side. Whether soup is using this as a preservation technique as scum or town will show sooner rather than later. Soup is going to be a harder read because all of his play is going to be him ducking out of the spotlight and not wanting to get anywhere near being a possible lynch candidate because his anxiety makes him do some rash things, lose his emotions, and semi-ruin games for all players in the game. Soup, soup, soup. I am watching this slot with a fine tooth comb and honestly, I am hoping he does not make me believe he is scum because I hate putting him under puressure because he reacts so poorly and it inevitably ends up to him being lynched. He said that I am being "pussyfooting" the thread which is half-true. Hell, that's what everyone does on D1 so to fault any player on that is absolute garbage logic and I apoogize for the harshness of that but it needs to be said. When you judge a player solely off D1, you won't be able to read intent/connections and players like me love to manipulate that regardless of my alignment because it works to my goal of controlling games to help my faction win. I will say this, though, I am no Yes-Man. That much is known and soup saying that means he isn't looking into intent and also isn't reading as closely as he is letting us to believe.

Since I saw this in the ninja edit, I thought I would add this here. The point of that questions was to get Zaixl to do some scum-hunting and start interacting with more people. Based on who he chose and why, we can dictate what his thoughts are. For example, he chose Moosy which was, to me, the obvious candidate for a question like that. Moosy has not been posting much in terms of letting his thoughts be expressed in detail, but he has let us know his thoughts. When Moosy did respond, I defintely got more of a feel for that slot and I do like Moosy especially more so than a lot of the newbie crowd. Zaixl's main problem he had in Banjo Kazooie Mafia (which I hosted) and almost got him lynched was the fact that he does not really scum-hunt at all. I attribute this to him not knowing that much in terms of how to go about it in thread, but it also allows me to question him more. I also said in a paragraph prior to that question that I did not want any of the people who have talked in the thread to answer the question because new people need to discuss things. We still don't have anything to dive into from a striking number of slots and deadline is friday. My question was to generate more content, make Zaixl give me a connection, and also to help Zaixl move himself more into the game instead of saying "*shrug* Idk what's going on guys...." because that helps no-one. Hopefully that answers your response.
However, let's talk about Zaixl since I am looking at one of Zaixl for toDay's lynch currently. Zaixl is a slot that does not seem to be doing much of scum-hunting which albeit is a bit hypocritical to call him out on considering I just stated that it is what led to him almost being ML'd in my game. However, he is being rather more unrelenting in his Glyph/J die posts and also the fact that I just don't see him looking for scum, but looking for a lynch. That's the thing that bugs me about Zaixl that would make him okay in my book to go for toDay. I refuse to look into the inactives until they actually give me meat to bite into because lynching inactives is lame, boring, and unfruitful. I don't want to vote for malor because I don't see how mechanical posting = scummy. Nor do I see Sparky as scummy yet from Glyph or his opposers so until they either hike up the momentum or move-onto another slot, then bully.
I'm not going to lie, I just posted like a semi-case against Slick before realizing that he was mod-confirmed town.

We need to talk. All of your reads thus far are waffly and I agree with Moosy. If you were not cleared, I would say that you are playing mirror to how you played as my scum-partner and I would like to discuss this. You left yourself a lot of avenues with things like "J/Glyph is one town/one scum" which is a argument to pigeonhole, you dislike Glyph, but would vote Sparky even though you can see the pro-town content from either which is contradictory almost. You also say that I'm playing to my 50/50 playstyle, but do not let that stop you if you care to investigate me. Logic dictactes that if you feel one of Glyph/J are scum then your vote should be on one of them and pick a side of the fence to stand on. If you do not truly feel that way, then what are your thoughts for toDay? You mention you are skeptical on voting Sparky, but what about him makes you wary.

Let's talk. I'd like to discuss some slots with you. Talk to me about Moosy, Fanny, Laundry. You say that your most suspicious of myself and Glyph, yet you want to see more of Glyph's PR toMorrow. If this is the case, why have you not voted my slot yet and pushed me to define your read on me? It makes no sense to sit on "Well J is scummy because J" and it's a cop-out excuse given to you from every other player. You said it yourself that you have no prior knowledge to me regarding my slot but have heard stories. Well, you're stories are coming real and I am wanting to lynch you so far. I feel that someone had fed you that I was a scary player before the game started which is a non-tangable argument, but it is a theory I am proposing that would make sense to you throwing F.U.D. at my slot without any notion so far and also using the heated momentum of a bully poster such as Laundry to take a backseat and help subtly push dislike onto my slot. So what about me, exactly, do you dislike in your own words? What do you make of the opposing Malor/Sparky lynches that have been brought up? Finally, talk to me on Fanny/Glyph's interaction since you have a dislike read on Glyph. Thanks.
DtJ Glyphmoney : You explained why you targeted J, but it seemed somewhat strange to me there that you didn't target FML given his annoying you just beforehand. I am probably overreading this since you said it was just a pet peeve, but that contrasts with the 'what the **** man' aggression you displayed when he did so. Can you clarify on that?
I'm normally just super low key and post short stuff, but I thought it would be fun to make a character.
