i'm having a tough time wrapping my head around this game, because i usually look for people trying to bull****, and this game let's the 2 scum factions hunt each other. It just kinda lets everyone look legit to me.

i never reread games, because i have a good memory and tend to remember everything i read the first time, but with this setup, i may actually have to go back and reread to find connections.

Laundry posting that he doesn't have any reads outside of Ruy or possibly me is a red flag for sure. There was a lot of communication between Maven and Ryker on day1 as well as Joey and Joker, and finding both of those TvT means you've found almost all scum already. That's bad, but what I really don't like is how he approaches the game knowing this.

For one, at the end of day1 I said I wanted to talk to him/Ryker about Joker before the day ended, and then he ended it with a hammer. Realize now that an Alex, who only has a scum read on Ruy and a minor one on me, decides to lynch Gorf before he even tries to get more information. He then enters the next day, and I once again offer him to talk ("lmk if you're in thread again" is a pretty clear hint to that).

Side note: his wording in 674 is extremely odd.
Where do you want to go? "Possibly Ramses. Outside of that, I have no clue. Still don't know why anyone really views Maven as a good lynch."
For one, it's weird that he even mentions Maven when discussion direction. However, what really weirds me out is that this is the guy who talked with Ryker yesterday and said "Yeah I see Maven town now, but he still did do some grimy things that exchange (with Ryker)". If I recall correctly, at that point he was the only one who even mentioned that there was a flipside to Maven's reaction, and now he doesn't understand?
Outside of that, the reasons for lynching Maven were posted by Joey end of yesterday after I asked about it... right around the same time Joey was talking about his reasons to lynch Gorf, and BEFORE he posted "not sure between Ruy or Gorf" (which indicates he should've read on it). Not a decisive argument, but something to keep in mind regardless. Is he trying to lynch people or finding things out?

To me, it also bothers me how reliant he was on Ryker to get information out there. He (almost?) never engaged in conversation with anyone else, on top of that a lot of his reads went Ryker's way. Ryker says XonarScum, Alex goes to XonarScum. Alex says ScumGheb, Ryker says TownGheb, Alex says TownGheb. Alex says ScumMaven... etc.

Finally, on his read on me, he complains about not knowing my hand but never made ANY effort to peek into it. I do remember offering to talk with people yesterday.

All in all, my issue with him is that his proclaimed intentions don't line up with his actions, as well as some minor other points.
To recap:
  • Doesn't have any grasp on the player list despite at least 2 reads (one on his own and one with Ryker)
  • Struggles with certain things (Where to go? Is Xonar Scum?) despite never making efforts to fix it
  • Claims to not know "why maven" when Maven's been his main focus on day1
  • Basically hasn't taken much, if any, initiative.

Right now I want to lynch either Joker or Laundry, on the premise that lynching inactives is simply un-fun and I'd rather lose to inactives having played with people than blindly shoot inactives in the hope of not dying without a doc here.

oh to EBWOP my big post: Alex did say he had the lynch decision down to Ruy/Gorf yesterday. My point in the bold is more about how he doesn't have anything next to that.

God you can see that it's 4am. "And I once again offer him to talk... and he doesn't take me up on it". Another thing that points to this schism between proclaimed intentions and actions.

These two paragraphs sum up how I feel about Laundry pretty nicely. I wish he were more active ...

and whoever needs it, I think Maven hasnt done much either. Also, can you update the player list in the first post with all dead people?

I made a mistake, and having three mafia games is too much.

I'd like to request a replacement

However, until that replacement comes, I'll play the game. I'm going to do a re-read and make a post, so i'm not entirely bailing out.

Spoiler: that replacement won't come.

At this point we might as well request replacement for the ****ing mod.

Where did the Joker hate come from? I thought you liked his logic against me and agreed with most of it.

I'm willing to lynch Laundry if deadline is here.

I also would like to mention that deadline is tomorrow and we really need to get people in here at least for a last-minute vote if not for actual discussion.

Agreed? Not always. I liked his thought process, was the main take-away. I summed up why I dislike him at the end of yesterday, I can post more extensively on it later today but I'd rather not. There's other slots I'm willing to lynch today, but right now Laundry has the highest priority.

Only lynches that have a realistic chance of going through while giving us information at the same time are Laundry and Maven.

Where did you sum this up? I can't find it... >_<

I got it. xD

Alright. I'm fine with either Laundry or Maven with a high preference towards Maven.

Maven's a good lynch but I'd rather get Laundry for if I die and he becomes active again, who knows where it'll go. No doc is literally ebola.

Stuff as i go may or may not overwrite/rescind some of this stuff

How serious a vote was this? Iirc you use a decent amount of wordplay in your scumhunting, but in rvs hitting joey of all people for an "imo tbh" really seems overkill

solid point

vote ruy

:186:
Has laundry rid ryker like this all game? I know they play off of each other as town, but damn.
Ryker - Tell me about Joey's voting patterns from the past page, what do you make of them?

Gheb - Want me on Joker right now? If not wanna join me on Joey?

Laundry - Same thing I asked Ryker.

Gorf - We gonna rumble and tumble this game or you actually gonna work with me this time? I promise not to do something ******** but you gotta work with me.

Joey - I need you to explain the vote switch to me a bit, I feel as though it's not RVS to some extent. Can you tell me to some extent why you switched to me? Let fight though, no jigglypuffs allowed though.

Jim Morrison - Long time no see? How you been? Wanna vote Joey with me?

Red Ryu - :4charizard:

Vote: Joey
Question to ryker and laundry sucks. Joey hadnt said anything worth while woth those votes. Ryu=/=joey
You got something better? Wanna help search for something better on one front or another? This is what I am offering.
Why you gettin frisky with gheb

Still pretty sure everyone voting me is just waiting for me to get pissed. Gorf is being a troll, aka Gorf is being Gorf. Joey is trying mad hard to not look suspicious.
Jokers town, the continued posts like this so far means hes keeping a level head and viewing why people are doing. Things.
Maven sucks in maven vs ryker.

It was the most scummy thing at the time, and it got the ball rolling. Thanks for replacing in, btw.

Joey vs joker a pain to read, not of same scum team but could be svt or tvt. Doubt joker scum regardless
Laundry, Kantrip, Joey =/= town

:059:

Don't see why I should answer it, Orbo. If you're catching up then you'll find out soon enough.
