It’s pretty much the core block and if you need SS take SS if you need BP take BP.
+ Stungun404

That completes the power list

Then I am thinking Sakura or Drixx for leader.
alright now we just need to divide votes

You're posting rarely but in big bursts. Looking at your posting it's basically all in bursts, there's little back and forth throughout the day. You're not engaging in a direct manner, you're catching up and posting all in a burst, then off you go for another day. Not that that's a bad thing, but I can see you missing a day and bam, there goes your voting deadline.

Compare that to duckling (or me) and we'll engage over a longer period. Sure we're about to go to bed (me and duckling are in basically the same timezone) and won't post for 8-10 hours, but once up we'll respond to things said to us within a pretty short period.

In my view, the people who check-in and spampost their days content are more apt to miss a big event if something comes up for them causing them to miss a day, than those who tend to follow the thread in real-time.

I mean I do miss days but that's not why. I forgot because I didn't get anything to remind me to other than the one post at the day end. As for why I'm posting like this it's because I post at a library where I only get 3 hours free of computer time (1 dollar for 45 extra minutes)

It's not a personal thing, I'd say the same about FA, she operates in much the same manner from what I can see. Just that if something comes up that kills those 3 hours then that's 48 hours between posts, while I pay lower-effort attention over a longer period so knocking me out for any length of time is basically impossible.

"Forget" was probably the wrong term, but yeah I'd believe that sending a PM was beyond your effort range at a point in time than I would for me or duckling, based on how we tend to post.

I'm usually checking the thread on my phone so I'm not missing things that happening in game and I have no trouble catching up most of the time. But I'm a really busy women and this is the much you can get from me.

Also my play is above 95% engaging others even in my short periods. I'm pretty sure I engaged with 90% of this playerlist at some point.

I was really busy late d1/early day 2 and I missed a great deal of the game and had to post a series of catchup posts. That was because I was hosting a big/fast mafia game and my free time was occupied.

could be a japanese vampire metal band. sounds quite rad and experimental; the name sounds a lot like a metal band name (drakura sixx).

toogeloo is quite heavily scum imo. goes from townleaning on frozen angel last day phase (higher confidence read) and no voiced suspicion of her to now gun to his head scumreading her. this does not seem like a natural progression to me, and he feels the need to complain about how i am scumreading him. he complained yesterday about my analysis methods upon my replacing in, but if he is town clearly mine worked better towards finding scum than his wherein he had his heaviest townread on titus and i scumread titus as soon as i saw her randomization of pr’s post — on no planet should a suggestion like that come from town!

i also did not like how toog batted at the suggestion of us organizing votes for a leader last day phase. pretty sure a town replace in does not replicate that sort of disagreement with the majority. i even called that out as antitown.

i am psyched to get a pr, though i will give scum no indication of which one piques my interest! sakura and drixx are leader options i am fine with; i will vote whichever has less votes (probably drixx).

on that note, maybe i should look into organizing them again?

and giving final reads in case for some reason scum finds it optimal to kill me this coming night phase.

i’m a huge fan of every single genre of music there is, so yes. if i had to pick a favorite though, i love oldies—especially music from the ‘70’s. are you a metal fan? or what genres are you into?

———————————-


as of right now, with limited iso expansion, here is where all my reads stand. i’d like this day phase to extend a little longer, as i would like to put to the test a couple of the lower end players.


townreads that are pretty much eliminated from my scumpool (in order of confidence): Frozen Angel, Sakura Hana and Sando are tied, Toranaga, MathBlade
Next tier of town: Drixx, NancyDrew39


all tiers here and below i want to test
Slight townlean zone: Theta Alpine (heavy seemingly mainly town wagon early on plagued zmuffinman wagon, who theta replaced in for), hebichan (gut feeling), creature (recent posts look good), nosferatu, gamma emerald

that leaves: katsuki, kokichi, the worst and toogeloo as main scum pool to draw from. could see any of these being scum for certain. i will design questions for each individual in slight townlean zone and below to be sure, though.

proposition from yesterday’s sakura voters. 17 players remain, 16 after a lynch, so 8 and 8 split we could plan on

i’m voting sakura tonight, because although i back drixx, i have a locktown read pretty much on sakura and would rather her be sheltered.

i think we all can agree we want a less sketchy wagon overall on sakura as consensus townread. so if something here went wrong and she does not die, scum is on her wagon and we have been wrong for some time about some of our players. so consider it reaffirmative—and because sakura leader needs to happen.

besides, doesn’t drixx have a bulletproof anyway?


sakura voters: toranaga (?), nancy drew 39 (?), sando (?), drixx (?), stungun, frozen angel (?), nosferatu (?)

drixx voters: math, sakura, tw (?), katsuki (?), kokichi (?), the worst (?), hebichan (?), theta alpine (?)

hmm, i am noticing now there was a higher degree of sketchier players on sakura’s proposed leaderboard yesterday. this might be suggestive there was scum on there that either forgot to vote or did not vote (see toogeloo and the worst).

I dont really mind, but im quite curious about your wording there saying that my leadership
needs
to happen. Being a consensus townread is one thing, but that's more or less true for almost everyone in the townbloc, while i dont mind being leader candidate i dont see why my leadership should be any more or less warranted than say for example drixx from your PoV.

If you wanna hunt for scum shifting the leaders, evening the votes is not the way to go, and also literally everyone needs to promise that they'll stick to their assigned vote if they're town.
In which case for example a spread of 9 v 7 would mean that for scum to shift the votes would need to be at least 2 on the larger wagon towards the lower wagon, and if that happens, then we can start checking that wagon, We should also make sure the tiebreaker would favor the person u want to be leader so they can't shift it with a single vote, if you choose tho 10 v 6 scum can try and kill the 10 ppl person and win a 3v3 tiebreak.

What do you think?
