Do you realise you ruined your planned reaction test by announcing it?

I don't think it ruins it. I'm being honest. I don't feel bowled over by anything but if this continues I will be more aggressive.

It wouldn't be a reaction test like "I don't really believe this but I'm voting to get reactions...lol" It's like "I feel like this is a small thing but I do believe in it." And you never know where that goes.

It could work! Don't pee on my parade!

Hey Mr e roll, all you ever do is ask questions and don't really provide analysis.

It's getting annoying. I also think it's a way to fake participation. Like hey I'll just keep asking questions to look like I'm helping but I'm not actually doing shit! I havent even given any opinions!

VOTE: Mr. E roll

I ask questions because the answers may lead to discussion. The answers I’ve been receiving have been pretty straight forward and not requiring analysis. Maybe I’m asking the wrong questions feel free to ask some yourself.

I haven’t given much on the way of opinions because… I don’t know maybe the game “has been super tame and subtle so far“?

Do you think it would be beneficial to the town if I stopped asking questions since it is annoying you?

But Mr. E roll... all your posts before that only consisted of one or two questions (except one, iirc), with NO opinions or analysis. Do you have any?

I know the game has been slow, but you've gotta start somewhere. Even if it's for a tiny tiny reason.

And no, I don't think you should stop asking questions, and I never said that you should. But i want to know what your opinion is or some analysis.

Wisdom does this as well, and unlike Mr. E Roll, his questions/comments are pretty much pointless.

That being said, I don't like how Xegarus is essentially lurking at this point, so

Short quick initial gut reads: Elvis is town, so is bork probably. No one really made it to my scum list yet. I need to pay more attention.

Hmmmm. Very very interesting.

Question: I haven't played in like two years and micros weren't a thing. What's the likely ratio were looking at? 2/7? 3/6?

I don't like Pala immediately sheeping bork... Not one bit said the spider to the fly. Especially after she names two other scumspects in the same post.

Sure.

#25 and #34 both look like he's just trying to keep his target off balance more than actually make a point. In #25, he doesn't say anything about why elvis repeating a question that had already been posed by someone else is telling or even relevant.

#34 looks like he's trying to look like he doesn't understand the point Pala is trying to make (which IS a weak point, but I think it's pretty obvious what he was trying to say there: scum gets more pregame time by potentially delaying a confirm. I think it's a weak point because I don't think either most people would think to care nor do I believe pregame talk is terribly useful from experience)

I think #71 is another example of this -- I think elvis' slightly tongue in cheek point here (you call me town = I like you!) was obvious and Wisdom went the derp route with it.
