With 13 alive, it’s 7 to lynch. The Day 1 deadline is in (expired on 2020-07-15 11:50:59).

Titus replaces Chemist1422.

[Something_Smart]

It's not hammer. It's not even L-1.

[RCEnigma]

It would appear you're smart or something.

[RCEnigma]

Snow won't be lynched anyway.

[Titus]

Request deadline extension

[northsidegal]

The deadline is being extended to 24 hours due to the replacement. This will be reflected in the most recent votecount as well as in post 0.

[Titus]

No pressure. Love the competing wagons. I suspect S v T given the harsh nature of lynching scum against them.

Can someone sub up the reasons for each wagon?

[Menalque]

Hi, Titus.

I think the most comprehensive arguments for snow!scum are in 665 from me, but Holden's 511 are also worth checking out.

Eevee is the main instigator for the current votes on mohab, and if you read her from 622 you should get what I think is the gist of the case there.

[Menalque]

Ydrasse, I think you should change your vote back.

[Menalque]

could we get a prod on mohab please?

[Menalque]

Sure.

VOTE: Snowblaze

Probably won't matter, though.

You're building a hill that you might potentially die on if Mohab flips scum.

VOTE: Snow

Pedit says this is hammer.

Thanks, both. Also, I'm aware of that RCE.

[Snowblaze]

I think I’ve started to care about this game. Which, naturally, means I am a ball of stress and paranoia, because I do not like being wagoned.

Anyway, nice to know I have a bit more time. I’ll respond to your case tomorrow, Menalque, as well as any other questions people have. Please don’t get me killed in the meantime!

[Umlaut]

I know we've beaten this particular horse a lot already but I think there may still be some life in it.

I am gonna ask a really dumb question but, can there be power roles in this game?

This is a

very

weird question for a townie to be asking, because it's effectively a VT claim on page 5. (Yes everyone is a VT, but if town!Mohab is genuinely asking this question it means she doesn't know that, so she's making a substantial claim.) A townie who is actually confused on this point ought to, if not read the setup (because who does that?), then PM the mod. That's another reason to think the question isn't genuine.

[Menalque]

I think you're confusing what town "should" do with what town "do" do. Because a lot of the time if I'm unsure of something I'll just sling it in the thread for clarification. I understand the paranoia around mohab seeming to have intentionally townslipped, but I just don't think scum actually very often decide to fake townships, and also it hasn't worked at all because people are so sceptical given the nature of the townslip? Like if you're focusing on townslips being faked, I think fredrick's is more likely because that's so much more plausible as a thing to not be sure of. Like mohab fake slipping a lack of knowledge about whether there are PRs just isn't even an effective way to fake townslip.

[Something_Smart]

A townie who is actually confused on this point ought to, if not read the setup (because who does that?), then PM the mod.

I've never ever heard of a townie PM'ing the mod to ask what the setup is.

[Something_Smart]

Also hi Titus.

[Umlaut]

A townie who is actually confused on this point ought to, if not read the setup (because who does that?), then PM the mod.

I've never ever heard of a townie PM'ing the mod to ask what the setup is.

I've done it. Now you've heard of it. (Why would you hear of it, unless you were modding the game where it happened?)

[Something_Smart]

I mean you're right that I wouldn't hear about it whenever it occurred.

Why didn't you just check the OP of the game in question?

[Umlaut]

There was something unclear about it. As I recall there was a detail of the setup that I thought was underspecified as written.

In other news:

I see you, Mohab.

[Something_Smart]

Yeah, that makes sense. I don't think this setup was unclear, though. I would guess they just didn't care enough to look at the mechanics (regardless of alignment).

[Umlaut]

My point is less about whether they cared to look but more that that post would have been anti-town in the alternate reality where Mohab was town and the setup had PRs, because it would be prematurely claiming VT.

[Something_Smart]

Sure. But do you really think they would have thought of THAT if they didn't even think to look at the setup?

[Titus]

Looking at the VCs alone, I postulate a snow Frederick Ydrasse team.

[Titus]

I'll do one for Mohab!scum in a bit.
