@mod what happens if deadline is reached before 3 out of 4 delegates vote to end the day?

Day ends as usual.

Would a plurality lynch still occur?


Yep.

Given his agreement on BEF, too - I'll throw him into my townpool as well. :3
I think Thanos is beating you all at reads atm.

But it would be very interesting to see where everyone puts their vote when they don't think anybody's watching.
No it wouldn't

Half the town would be caught by surprise not voting and there would be a low threshold plurality lynch

Town should literally never vote to end day except in niche situations like guiltys
+1

That bef was town regardless of thanos alignment. In general an in depth read like that seems tmi given the context. Up to that point it was a pissing match between slots giving vague reads and slots angry at people giving vague reads while not doing anything differently.

It's a good opportunity to seem townie, was my first impression.

I mean they can be. Like jokes/fluff in lieu of content shouldn't ever come from town. I say shouldn't bc it is a thing that bad town do that scum mimic. Also, bloating a thread with spam and the unfunny jokes you bad trolls make just makes the game harder to read for those with less time. Scums main objective is to not get lynched, being friendly and fluffy makes ppl likable and those that are likable are less likely to get wagoned and lynched.

You may think they're unfunny, but above all elsa, they are an expression of self. Don't be so cold-hearted bro.

It's also not that hard to skip one-liners, where people usually make said joke.

RCE, I want to scum claim you because all you've done is scum claim me because of my name. But it's only too early to tell.

I maintained and reignited my scum claim on Emperors New Groove because neither person in that hydra have posted more than one post collectively, and I'd like to force a response. But also because I want to limit the number of people with Emperor in their name to one (for nickname's sake) and because our lord and savior Boonskiies uses Kuzco as his avatar.... And there can only be one...

(also top... Again?)
While I know you're not entirely serious, this is still stupid to me. flippyNips = EFN and New Groove = ENG.

Reality show biz, my friend. You aren't appealing to the audience. Unfortunately, that means you gotta go.
I feel this so hard. But that's why I think it's time for jokes to be put aside and serious conversation to abound. If everyone's serious, it's easier to pay attention to them and get reads.

I mean... I
could
start talking out of my ass and accusing people for no reason, but it'd be disingenuous and won't hold any real merit.

I rather not get hung day 1, so at the moment I am letting the gamesolvers do their thing and making sure to point away from me so they stay on the right track. Later on I give my input on what happened during the night and see the connections being made by the gamesolvers and capitalize on them.

Other then the 5 man mafia team thing I brought up, you guys just do you and argue about scumminess.

Once you're in the pattern of if x/then y, modifying that pattern to another conditional to show certainty in x but conditional in y is possible, but to the writer unnecessary given they know what they are uncertain about.

I have never seen a legit slip of this type, and the people who call such so-called slips to attention have been scum at least half the time I've seen someone bring it up, possibly more.
It seems unlikely that scum!BEF knowingly pushed a slip he'd know no one else would agree on, and call attention to himself that way. BEF seems to have genuinely believed in that slip, which makes me think he's town.

I just watched Infinity War. You’re on my shit list.
It'd be hilarious if Thanos got lynched/killed on the same day Endgame comes out

The mod confirmed that flavor can hint at the roles possible in the game and which ones are active. I brought this up in my setup speculation. It was one of the l relevant points I brought up during the day along with me talking about the setup. I haven't just done one-liners. I do try even during day 1.

At this point, as one of the day's representatives, I don't see a huge opportunity or need to vote to end the day. Unless someone else disagrees, we need as much information as we can get Day 1, and ending the day early deprives us of that.

I will remain open about my feelings to vote, however. Besides, I'd have to vote ITT anyway, so everyone would know when I vote. Same goes for the other 3.

It's mentioned in the setup and yet DVa didn't know that.
It's likelier for town in this scenario not to have read the setup properly and not know that public votes aren't counted.
It's less likely for scum to not know, IMO -- Making your slot likely town.

This is an early read, subject to change if there's stronger evidence.

Your assumption that not reading the game post is towny is unfounded.

Why? Scum are more likely to know the mechanics of the game because it hurts them more to not know.

It hurts mafia and town power roles to not know the setup. McQueen, your just as likely to kill strong town who like to be prepared with that line of thinking.

Some people read the rules, and some don't. It's play style, usually NAI except on a case-by-case basis.
