Also thanks for the game Nabe! I thoroughly enjoyed working out the clues and the present mechanic was interesting. Talking through all my ideas with Kat on Skype was awesome, and I haven't had this much fun in a game in a long time.

How is his flip not that important to you?If he does, he does. His flip isn't really that important to me. The fact that this happened in such a small amount of time is sickening. I don't feel they really have reason to lie either.
Sorry mod! Don't modkill meJTB had a present opening mechanic, where instead of guessing he could instead pick a player and get through the same number of layers that person had. JTB did this and got to the same layer we were on.
While it is possible you are just ****ing with me, you have no reason to lie about your role at this point that I know of. If you flip ???? or as indie or something than that confidence would return in full force. Planning for the next Day phase is important, especially when warning other players that they need to contribute.Gee Overswarm, where did all that confidence go? According to you we scum slipped about watching Death Note so surely we must still be Le bateleur
Alright, I'm caught up.
I read Day 2 before I read Day 1 and Overswarm's case holds up. The super jump in logic based on the man who was hung is still astounding. I buy the presence of the Inquisitor role and I buy that Chuckie makes the most sense with said role.
That being said, IT'S INDY HUNTING!!! Chuckie flipping Indy does absolutely nothing to help OS's credibility.
Vote Chuckie
THAT'S L-1
Not only did he hammer me, but he's straight away deflecting all the "blame" for our lynch onto Overswarm's shoulders, when it's more like a 90% Ryker 10% Overswarm spread.I would absolutely adore an OS cop.
For now, Soup, what's your read on his slot?
For me, I still want Soup to be looked into and most definitely is my biggest target for a lynch. Next in line I would probably say looking into Circus/Ryker for their sloppy play thus far. Ryker because he also added that line of OS needing to be copped and that people shouldn't give him credit at all which is kind of common sense and seems he is trying to instigate taking thread power away from OS.J, what should the play be for tomorrow and what strategy should we use to find mafia?
You honestly cannot say this when you are just sitting on the sidelines doing nothing but "garnering information" when you haven't even done much of that.Really pissed this day was thrown away like this, regardless.
100% agree/endorse with these definitely as said in my previous post.Not only did he hammer me, but he's straight away deflecting all the "blame" for our lynch onto Overswarm's shoulders, when it's more like a 90% Ryker 10% Overswarm spread.
The fact that he's already trying to direct night actions so early in the day could be a slip that he knew he was in fact dropping the hammer on our slot. I mean who tries to tell the cop where to go so far away from deadline?
Here is my view on Circus.Not telling. Do you think he did that on purpose? The statement on OS is troublesome. How are you reading players like Circus?
Slight scum lean.Circus for throwing Ryker straight under the bus and saying he needs to be looked at for the vote thing without much else to offer us. I also would like more clear stances from Circus. His vote seemed the weakest supported (besides BRB) when finishing up the Chuckie wagon.
I literally don't remember anything Ranmaru posted. Bring it up and talk to me about it.And players like Ranmaru? Do you think his demeanor came off weird? I do. I really need to remember who all confirmed as having their alignments on D1. This would help immensely.
GREAT INPUT RED RYU THANK YOU WE KNOW
This seems really fake or just weird coming from RanYou mean welcome back to D1.
RVS? Mafia NK Analysis?
RVS VOTE: RYKER
Mafia NK Analysis:
Why Potassium??? (That's my analysis)
This makes sense, not only with the 12/6 present distribution but if that really is the case then it's a set-up very similar to the first Nabe Halloween game.Think?
Read very, very carefully. I don't know if I have all the pieces together and this phase is by far the most important of the entire game. Soup is right that toDay really is the start of Day 1.

There are 6 anti-town players.
La B, an inquisitor, and then likely four mafia. Three mafia and another indie is possible but I doubt this severely.
Twelve town.
Six anti-town.
Nabe told us the setup in the opening post and blatantly so.
I can understand that and see the logic in this, especially when Chuckie laid out all those points about La Bateleur yesterDay, but what I don't understand is why Chuckie would do that if he's the inquisitor. If their linked he threw his partner thing to the wolves and presented a lot of information on him that seemed pretty highly focused on getting him killed or revealed as Nabe or something along those lines.We had TWO flips: Potassium and La Bateleur. Mafia obviously killed one, but why did the other die? Who would kill Le Bateleur? Mafia wouldn't waste a kill on that slot no matter how weird it was; it wasn't a threat to anyone and was a huge distraction during the Day phase.
Chances are the vig won us the game on N1 by killing Le Bateleur, chuckie's puppet role. I couldn't find a "mafia aspect", but I'd imagine that it's kind of like a hepalien type thing. It's important to note the role wasn't "inquisitor aspect" but "inquisitor'S aspect". That's possessive, meaning that slot was an "aspect" to an "inquisitor".
In short, there's an inquisitor role that was linked super strictly to Le Bateleur.
Good point.If someone acts like they have more information than they should, they have it. This is not the case of Chuckie being some savant, this is a case of Chuckie trying to earn town points by showing the theme to everyone. No one else has this information. NO ONE.
I also noticed the "from a friend" comment and found it strange, so I'd agree to keeping an eye on him.JDietz because he happened to know the theme and said he got it "from a friend" rather than knew it himself. On my reread this caught my eye because it seems like an attempt to make sure that he wasn't focused on. At the same time, JDietz didn't gain any town points from this. I'd consider him a distant possibility, possibly mafia with extra information. Take note of his play from now on.
Not agreeing with this though; I like Soup so far, he's been one of the most active players and I didn't see him advocating a No Lynch or being terrified of outing the true game. I saw him more as thinking before acting and trying to find the best approach to the Day rather than a knee jerk reaction.Soup because he advocated No Lynch so vigilantly when he damn well knew better. It's entirely possible that he was terrified of La B getting lynched and outing the true game, what with the theme coming out. I don't have enough evidence to put this together though. I'd consider this even more distant than JDietz.
:-/ I recognize that OS had a hella long wall and that there are some convincing points, but at least state what you agree with or add something to the conversation. My feelings of dislike for Raziek are only being reinforced toDay.I am completely ok with this.
Vote: Chuckie
Non-commital. No interest to play. Same boat as J and the other players who just decided to throw D1 up.
I like this, I think this was a really important attempt to get the Chuckie wagon to talk and identify itself and what it's reasoning was. Some was clear while others was not and is not and needs to be looked at toMorrow.Everyone who is voting Chuckie right now needs to give a reason.
I really, really like this post because I think it digs into a lot of the same things I'm feeling reading what's gone down toDay. I liked Chuckie yesterDay but many of the points which OS raised are valid.Vote: Raziek
What a mooch. Lame wagon hops this game so far. Fine with being on him with Soup.
I haven't read all of Day 1 (yes I know I had all of last Night, shush), but I will just go on and state some things that have been on my mind. I'll fix myself some breakfast and then continue to read afterwards.
-Chuckie, why I don't buy all of OS's case, I do take issue with your slot, mainly because of how you acted (or how you didn't act) around the Tako slot (and if you did try to interact with the wagon in some way yesterday, I haven't read it yet). I know we already went over this, but it still bugs me. I haven't played with either Kat or vanderzant all that much, but just knowing how smart and insightful both of you are, I feel confident in saying that town Chuckie would play a more active role with the Tako wagon. Even if you truly had a hard time pinning a read to him, you guys didn't really make an effort at all to try to read him. Even when Rajam replaced in, no visible effort was seen on your part to get a read. Instead, you're focus was all on Le and mechanics. It's understandable to be caught up in mechanic talk of Day 1, but it's hard for me to swallow that you guys just let the Tako wagon build up like it did and not say a word about it until I asked for one. Also, your reply to my question about the Tako wagon was pretty safe, since you pretty much just said that "He's playing odd if he was town." Nothing was really committed to in your response (this is a more minor point, since Day was kinda ****ty for reads, plus I didn't even go in as hard on the Tako wagon as I should have [albeit due to inactivity], but it helps to paint a bigger picture for your slot that I'm not really liking).
Also, this may be a bit of a long shot, but I also get the feeling that a town Chuckie would have saw a town Tako like I did.
Another point that I'll like to bring up is that I DO agree with OS that it's suspicious that you unwrapped your present pretty quickly. Yes you are intelligent, as I said above, but not many should be THAT intelligent.
Can you go through your thought process for how you guessed through the layers of your present Chuckie? Also, which way did you lean overall on Tako/Rajam? I'm just looking for a simple "town lean/scum lean" here, nothing else.
One final thing. This is not really a knock against you, but I only give you minimum town points for helping out the theme (this applies to everyone btw). Scum could have TOTALLY helped out with the theme for the "town points." If they were smart, they would, since them sitting on their thumbs while everyone was discussing the theme seems like a bad move to me.
.People didn't really take Nabe's advice to "conserve information " to heart. As a result, people revealing their anime/tarot cards seems like a dumb or scum move to me
Dumb: "Hey scum, here's my anime/tarot card. I don't know what it means yet, but when we do find out the theme, you can use it as a road map to discover my character role.
Scum: "Hey town, here's the anime/tarot card for my safe claim. When the true theme is revealed, you guys can do your homework and find our what townie character I have flavor wise."
Points in favor of you Chuckie include your general activity (this may seem generic, but I do think activity, even from good players like Kat and Vandie, is townie), your wagon built up with too much speed (lotsa sheep this game), and the fact that there is a lot about OS's case that I don't agree with (might go over this later, don't feel like it right now).
-Another slots on my mind right now are Raz, Circus, and RR. RR just because his play has been pretty shallow/light so far.
Raz as stated above. His play has also been light and shallow, plus his wagon hops on both Tako and Chuckie have been incredibly sheepish. Yes I just stated suspicion of Chuckie above, but he hasn't really gone out of the way to justify the reasons for his votes. Anti town at best.
Circus because his 189 and the inactivity that assured rubbed me the wrong way. I won't hold him too accountable for RL issues, because God I know about that, but the last thing he said for a long while was pretty generic (gotta get through that first layer first to scum hunt!). His jump onto the Rajam/Tako wagon also didn't earn him any town points from me.
Also, J's slot annoys me right now. I don't think he's scum or anything, he's null, but the fact that the true theme has been revealed means that everyone has guessed it, and that means that J must have read the thread to some extent to know what the true theme is. Yet, he's been completely inactive since the game has started. I know that he's busy with RL stuff, and that he has been inactive before in Necromafia as town due to his IRL stuff, so I just wish he would replace out already before it gets too late. He knew that he couldn't keep up with this game before it even began, so he should have exercised some restraint in joining.
-One final thought, that being that I agree with OS that we are most likely dealing with 6 anti-town players. My guess is 4 mafia and 2 indies that are aligned (the Inquisitors).
Is in a very similar boat to Raziek.vote: Chuckie
I see a little bit of explanation (which is mostly regurgitation of old information) here, but I also don't see a really strong commitment or belief to the Chuckie wagon. The last line is a very resigned, "I don't see a reason to move my vote", which clearly doesn't show much passion or belief in the actual legitimacy of the Chuckie wagon and he doesn't seem concerned with pushing it, talking about it and getting information from Chuckie or anything.You should probably play VLR before you complain about that, Sword. I hear it's pretty amazing.
I don't really see why I need to give my own wall of reasoning on Chuckie here when OS makes a ton of strong points.
Chuckie set off obvious alarm bells as the first person to get significantly into their present, and when Soup and I were discussing the flavor in the opening posts of the game, he tried to get us to wait when we were talking about the animes, etc. He claimed directly that he wanted to "see if his information matched", which at that point just read to me like trying to butt his head into the ping-ponging Soup and I were doing for information at that point.
I don't honestly know how Chuckie can try to explain away the same-time post as La B, and La B was VERY clearly a puppet slot, no questions to be had there whatsoever.
One thing that DID bother me that I want to know if anyone else thought was strange. La B's posts typically didn't contain much content, but there were at LEAST a few that directly called out my aggressive attitude towards tako/others for no seemingly discernible reason. What motivation does a puppet slot have to do that? It's an easy way to discretely make people look at me if they never figure it out. And who comes in hard on me? Soup. Bleeeeeeh. I still think La B was Chuckie, but I'm making a note of that.
There are times to fight a wagon, and there are times to realize OS has a solid case, Chuckie is flailing, and OS isn't going to let the flow of the day go anywhere but a Chuckie lynch.
I don't see a reason to move my vote right now.
Main lead from yesterDay I'd like to follow up on Raziek. And no I don't think we should throw everything from yesterDay out the window, a lot of it isn't useful honestly but some of us could be helpful in looking at connections, attitudes, scumhunting, etc.I want to like Circus, and I want to like his wall. I can't shake the feeling of something more there however.
Everyone give me an insight on if they have someone they want to lead on today, based on yesterday. Should we throw everything that happened prior out of the window? This question is completely rhetorical and I don't want to see this day end quite yet.
This was my main problem with buying 100% into OS' suggestion, but then OS posted thisI can't think of any benefits we get, at all, in handling Batty Boi the way we did. It provides no longevity in our strategy - Batty Boi becomes at risk of lynch/Night kill/vig kill/investigation/genuine suspicion because of his enigma status... that we projected on to him first. Yes, we are responsible for making people think badly of Le Bateleur...
...For us to do this on Day 1 shows no longevity if we were in any way connected. This behaviour in spotlighting him the way we did should point to more of a disconnection than a connection actually. Oh, no one has common sense...
^ still very relevant
And I remember that moment when La B called Chuckie "Kataefi" and that makes a lot of sense. This is why I understand the Chuckie wagon and probably would have ended up on it if it had, you know, actually been a legit wagon and not got hijacked and resulted in a ql. So while there are certain people like Raziek, RR, and Ryker who need to be looked at for their hella suspicious jumps on the wagon, I do think other people genuinely had reason to get on the wagon.Just found a scum slip by Chuckie when I was looking back.
Chuckie didn't use two browser windows because Chuckie is two people. Vanderzant used the Le Bateleur accoutn during this exchange (reverse chronological order):
I don't know why I didn't think of it before. I just thought of how a single person would post on two accounts simultaneously and forgot that a hydra isn't one person. Chuckie slipped and called his other half Kataefi instead of Chuckie when he was on the La B account, then he panicked and pointed it out himself and just made La B post more nonsense.
Thank youThat's not good July , get better soon
Also, Circus made me think of something in Ryker's post.
Not only did he hammer me, but he's straight away deflecting all the "blame" for our lynch onto Overswarm's shoulders, when it's more like a 90% Ryker 10% Overswarm spread.
The fact that he's already trying to direct night actions so early in the day could be a slip that he knew he was in fact dropping the hammer on our slot. I mean who tries to tell the cop where to go so far away from deadline?
