Nice to be back onsite.

What's making you choose PC, Dave?

PC's vote.

Why do you think it’s alignment indicative?

I’m happy writing

off as town for the time being.

I agree that this inconsistency from him is very strange.

What inconsistency

You say you want to get some wagons going, and you’re willing to attempt starting a wagon on someone because they won’t feed into that, but you also say you don’t expect current votes to mean much of anything since we’re still in the feel-it-out phase? Those two don’t really go together, why vote people and start wagons when they won’t mean anything yet

You also say in the same post that you won’t share what you’re looking for in a wagon/what your standards for voting are, which is scummy behavior in its own right imo

I think

StraightFlush

can be sorted as town for this time too.

Fixed the formating of this post

[Greeting]

I think y'all are putting too much emphasis on the justification behind votes when most of them are just vibes and gut

the game is still in the figuring-out-each-others phase so I'm not really expecting any vote to be based on a solid foundation. That's not to say I'm not looking for anything though, as for what I'm looking for... I'm not telling you right now

I normally consider logical and well-justified arguments as a sign of effort to resolve the game. Surely this does not mean that mafia cannot fake them, but I am far less likely to look at someone who is evidently trying to get somewhere even in the fighting-out-each-other phase.

[Greeting]

PC's vote.

I don't. It's early enough in the game that I can be the old guy being grumpy about a self vote.

What do you think about self-voting in the game in general?

[Greeting]

You still haven't addressed the blatant rolefishing.

I'm still irked by that. What is the purpose of posts like 45 and 50? What does asking this achieve for town?

[Greeting]

This exchange reads like scumdistancing imo, just a lot of worst-faith readings of each other and not a ton of substance.

For Brian, I just don't get any read on how he wants to act/what impact he wants to have on the game. The "analyzer" thing and the talk around that is especially weird.

For PC, I just think his early selfvote and posting habits since then have kinda invited this kind of argument, and there's not much benefit for him to continue engaging with it atp

I'm not at all convinced if this is scum distancing. I do think there is a decent chance of at least one scum amongst these two though.

[Greeting]

Nice color coding, I should try doing stuff like that on this site

Interested to hear about those takes on Dave and Nurse, not what I was expecting.

Davesaz

's posts feel quite balanced and laid-back. His responses to my questions felt natural. For that reason I am giving him a townlean for Day 1.

I haven't been able to get an accurate read of

Random Nurse

.

Not sure what point you're trying to make here...

My point was that well-justified votes, even if wrong, can be seen as a sign of a town mindset.

[Greeting]

I'm so lost as to why someone claimed

I'm confused as to why this is being discussed in the first place?

[Greeting]

Not really interested in limming bs day 1 on his first game back in ages.

This doesn’t have anything to do with the actual game though. If he’s scum you’d be giving him a stay of execution for what? To have an extra week to strategize, pick us off, and get in a better position to win?

This is a weird position to play. It’s like “no let’s not vote this person because they’re my friend.” If you have a better reason not to vote that way, give us that information instead.

Agreed.

I'm willing to back off

BlackStar

for time being for sharing the same sentiment.

UNVOTE: BlackStar

[Greeting]

Then again, I feel icky about jumping on the

Brian Skies

wagon, because I could very well see their posts coming from a townie perspective and also I feel icky about most people who already are voting them.

What do you think a better vote is?

I think

Random Nurse

contributed very little and I'm happy with that wagon building up. The posts I read while running his ISO seemed like he really had nothing to say even in the few times when he did post.

VOTE: Random Nurse

[Greeting]

I will have to do with a prod dodge for now. I will need to read the cases for both main wagons once again. I think we still have some time until the end of the Day phase though.

VOTE: Random Nurse

I disagree with the premise of this vote. Nurse has been inactive for a while for unknown reasons to the point of a modprod, and we've had zero chance to see them catch up to important thread activities like the Brian wagon, the whole PC v. Brian thing, Titus actually doing stuff, etc. Not really reasonable to go here until he's engaged again

How do you feel about his most recent posts?

[Greeting]

Greeting you are a double voter. Vote one of the 2 and I'll quickly hammer.

I'd say Random too but he probably won't do it

There’s no rush.

[Greeting]

VOTE: Greeting

Somebody ought to cop Brian and PC but I feel Greeting's scum that didn't want to decide.

There’s no rush to decide. And I will not be pressured into building up either wagon until I read into them myself.

[Greeting]

I do think

Brian Skies

and

Political Clout

are both town.

[Greeting]

Unfortunately, I do not have time to contribute any more for now. I will try to pop in before end of day.
