That's exactly what I had in mind.

At first I thought we were being trolled by our role PM. What exactly is the benefit of having a role that can move up and down the players list? That's why I said we have a mega strong role. :lol:

Then I thought maybe some actions will be targeting "numbers" rather than players? Loke "shoot player #4" or "investigate player #11", but that didn't make much sense too.

Then it hit me when people brought up land and air units and I started thinking of the game I play, and having also played other PC games such as Dune, Red Alert, Civilization, European Wars .. etc.. and I figured special units have special effects and some have a definite range and stuff, so that's when I started thinking our role actually may have some mechanical effect (like if someone can only kill/investigate/protect the adjacent slots and we end up placing ourselves in between the source and the target?), and when Varsoon insisted it was a real Vig shot that failed on STW I voiced out the idea I had been contemplating on.

Perhaps - could the redirect to a lurk lynch be a counter wagon to the heat on STW? In terms of no real counter wagon formed away from STW therefore scum are trying to get town to policy lynch a lurker?

@profii:

Like, I don't want to out my full read list (as in the order/strength of each TR from top to bottom) for a reason, but I can see what you're saying being the case with 2 slots.

That said I have a solid Town core of 5 slots, so scum are going to have to remove us early to prevent the town coordination we are going to lead. :P

@pintu: Game aside, you know I love you like a brother, right? It was never my intention to add pressure on you IRL. If that happened accidentally, then I sincerely apologize.

Back to the game: I didn't call you out "for not having SRs" per se. That would be over-simplifying it. I called you out because your posts are mostly hollow and you have no reads.

If you had given me some TOWN reads with some sort of reasoning I would not have been too suspicious (and you did now in #889, so I think I'm feeling a bit better about you).

The thing is you're one of the most underestimated skillful players I know of. People don' pay much attention to you when
I know for a fact
you are most capable as either alignment, so when people pass you by and dismiss you just because you appear to be lurking or "innocently" being low effort I have to be a bit wary.

Anyway, top 3 lynch candidates for me are: Nico/Koki/Mewtaph. You know Chara has a weak town lean still on Nico (I've posted something in the PT that may or may not change their mind), and Mewtaph is actually a true null (which is a bit scummy because he usually does stuff, and I have been at the receiving end of his fury as TvT before).

So, Koki is a fine vote by me for now.

Oh, and also much respect to UR2 for redeeming himself in my eyes. I would be first to acknowledge I'm stubborn and it's hard to change my mind on someone I SR early on (unless there was a mechanical reason to change that read), so UR2 managing to do just that without a mechanical reason is impressive.

I know that you and I both think there is value in taking close looks at otherwise inconsequential posts, and I gave you a full faith effort for precisely that reason. It's pretty sneaky to then turn around and read my response to that thought experiment as if I claimed those thoughts were engraved on stone slabs from god.

p.edit
I voted him over those others because I think I can read Pintu, so him moreso than those others I want to play.

I'm still voting him because I'm working through both my read of his big catchup and how I want to approach the slot.

Damn can a person get some space to play

I'm not asking for much time. I'll be on it this afternoon here. let it breathe

My vote's on there in spirit as well.

Also Alchemist feels town.

~Jimothy
Okay, so you wanted to vote them in spirit but you couldn't. Did you have any other leads outside of Shoshin the worst that you would've liked to pursue at the time of making this post or was that the only slot you received scum vibes up to ?

I think NicoRobin is a decent point to poke with a stick before deadline rears too close, but is a bad wagon to get going near deadline in case they are really just apathetic!town.

I don't know why pinturrichio keeps pushing their content back repeatedly but it's not a great look.
I didn't like the initial voting on
UP2
when I first skimmed through it, the reasons for a scumread there lacked substance (Prompting
Michael Scott
to explain why he thought
UP2's
posts were manufactured, that's the vote that most got my attention when it happened.)

I agree a bit on
Nico
. A lurker lynch won't get anywhere, and I don't trust the fact that everyone is like
"where's the scum at"
?

:/ I get my vote on
Kokichi
contradicts the above statement, but I'm working to change this.

pushing content back... not a great look? Or scum-indicative?

I'm tempted to play overtly scummy solely to get scumreads going, and worthwhile interactions.


Vars
, a lot of people say
Mephist
,
Alchemist
, and
T&L
are town, but they're low confidence reads for me.

What are your reads there?

And why did you vig them when I had a townread there? >:c

Part of the "null"-feels I think that's gone on in this thread, is because there's multiple pages of just pointless back-and-forths that disregard the playerlist.

There's not many in the game that have interacted with more than a select few people.

@Taly:
I don't know why people are townreading Mewtaph--might have to do with their play in Starcraft 1. I'm not townreading them.
Alchemist21 is town but needs to commit more of that good content.
T&L's lean town for me but I have my suspicions about the slot and I'm not high confidence either way.
STW absolutely should be lynched at the end of the day if we can't come to some conclusion--I still heavily scumread the slot.
Right now, though, I'm not 'tunneling out' and I'm trying to keep from bombarding the thread with my posts/vanity crap there since it's not going to help us solve anything atm.

What are your thoughts on Mewtaph and, in general, what do you think should be done in this kind of a game (lurker slots a problem but also current wagons/attention d1)?

Everyone should actively engage with the people they've least engaged with.

That makes content less predictable and runs the game more smoothly without pages of the same shit going on.

I need more of
Mewtaph
for a confident read - hence my post toward them, but their posts did feel inclined to push the game forward. I'd like to know why they haven't contributed more, if it's RL stuff or just uncertainty.
