[Porkens]

Hey hey! Just remember to be town and look for “scum”!

[TiramisuCake]

Hi!

[Umlaut]

Hey there! I'm the new Porkens.

Only person I've played with here that I can recall is ClarkBar; I was scum and endgamed him in what I think was his first game on the site, so he's probably going to be a bit wary of me, but I think I can still work around that. Worst case we can always just off him.

[Umlaut]

Hey buddy, you really need to start posting and engaging with the game. I have to say you look pretty terrible right now (though at least we're distancing from one another?). If you want to keep voting me that's fine but you need to at least give some sort of actual reason because we're past the point of random voting, and you should offer some sort of opinion on other players as well.

[willowsaura]

Ahoy. Just checking in. Hello Umlaut.

[Umlaut]

Hi! You're coming in under some pressure but you should be able to get out of it as long as you play actively (it would be good to go post something in the main game thread right now in fact, even if it's just like "Catching up now" or something like that). People tend to want to give replacements a clean slate, which is probably a bad idea but is good for us right now.

Since you're brand new, one thing I want to point out is that commenting overmuch on one's predecessor (and particularly saying "wow my predecessor was terrible no wonder you all voted them") is often seen as suspicious. I'm not sure how good this tell is but people will use it so don't do that.

[Umlaut]

Hey there Willow, you haven't posted in the game in a while. Activity and engagement are an important part of being seen as town. Do you think you could try and step up your posting a bit?

[Umlaut]

Okay, one miselim down, two to go.

Willow, are you around? I'd like to do some planning with you if so.

[Plotinus]

It is now night 1! Night 1 will end in (expired on 2020-09-03 20:00:00) or 24 hours after all slots of her full. If willowsaura posts in here, that will count as PMing me for activity requirements.

Let me know who you are killing and/or rolecopping. You can submit actions in each other's names if you want to and in newbie games the mafia PR is allowed to also kill on the same night.

[Umlaut]

@mod If Willow is replaced will night deadline be frozen until a replacement is found?

It would be really nice to actually interact with a partner tonight

[Plotinus]

Yes, we can't start the day with empty slots. You'll have at least 24 hours to talk to each other. In willow's case, because they were prodded before we went to night, I'll start looking when their prod expires ((expired on 2020-09-02 07:57:00)) if they haven't posted in here yet, but they can stay if they post before I find someone.

[Umlaut]

Well I'm shooting in the dark here. No one is really universally townread here and if anyone has dropped a PR soft I haven't noticed it (though I wasn't really looking, maybe should go back through and do that).

[Umlaut]

Shooting ABC's replacement would be funny but mean

[willowsaura]

What do your think of Ivyeo for role checking?

[willowsaura]

I feel ivy and Kerset could be troublesome. It could be difficult to con an SE I think

[Umlaut]

Hmm, if we just shoot all the SEs it makes it hard to argue why I'm still alive. But it's not a bad start and one hopes we'll eventually just be shooting PRs instead so that gives me an excuse to not get shot. Dongempire is possibly an even better kill than Kerset to start off with just going by activity level, but Kerset seems more universally townread atm.

[Umlaut]

Well we need to submit something and I still haven't reread carefully so this is as good as anything:

Umlaut shoots Kerset
willowsaura investigates Ivyeo

I reserve the right to change this at the last second (mod permitting)

[Plotinus]

You can change it as many times as you like before dawn.

Actions received: Umlaut is shooting Kerset, willowsaura is rolecopping Ivyeo

[willowsaura]

Sounds good. I do agree with the concern for Dong, but because I've and Kerset seem to get away with short some times targeted posts, it doesn't seem safe to keep them.

[Plotinus]

Ivyeo is vanilla. It is now Day 2! Day 2 will end in (expired on 2020-09-11 15:30:00) or as soon as somebody is eliminated.

[Umlaut]

WELP

[willowsaura]

Ok. 2 down! Let me check the thread.

[Umlaut]

Only 1 down. Kerset survived, which means either doc or jailkeeper (probably doc IMO, which would put us in setup B3).

I'm going to probably keep expressing suspicion of you in the thread, the thrust of it being that you were too conciliatory and worried about Sirius' feelings when you were purportedly thinking he was scum. It's up to you how you respond to this, but my recommendation is that it's almost always better to double down than to back down. If you continue to maintain that "I don't want to upset anyone" tone while responding then either I can back down saying "okay that's just how willow plays" or, even better, someone else can make that point and I can just accept it.

Basically I want to look like I'm being talked out of wanting to eliminate you rather than seeming to spontaneously change my mind.

[shellyc]

Hey, hi, hello.

I'm Shelly who has rolled scum in my two completed games with a 100% winrate!

I'll skim the thread now but will review the thread again later, setup is column B since im rolecop

I've played with the MUSH person and the worst
