Oh my.
I am sincerely sorry Arthur. I have no excuses. It was a mistake.
And Shelly? My suspicions have led me seriously astray.

I don't even know where to start. Last night I starting thinking that it was interesting that more people weren't waving me off. Originally I was just disappointed and frustrated but now I'm wondering if there's anything to be gleaned from that information.

Overall feeling pretty discouraged.

What were you hoping would happen? Arthur flipping red?

Of course. I didn’t think it was going to happen, but that’s the goal, right?

To me, Bluebell just seems like the next easy elimination with little demonstrated scummy intent. Does anybody have an actual case? I’d rather not just do this again.

This is exactly why I'm pushing for the worst.

tw pushed super aggressively onto shellyc yesterday, and happily/contentedly switched to Arthur when he couldn't get his way. Now Day 2 starts, and his immediate target, rather than anyone who interacted with the wagons yesterday, is simply the fluff-target.

I don't know. I'm starting over at square one, but with my reads for scum switched. Sigh. Was Shelly assassinated because of her stated suspicions? Or does a jailkeeper just get jettisoned as a proactive scum tactic?

Redados,
you have been very measured in your approach in the past,
So why did you throw this vote in for me so fast?

Personally I think it was just a free PR kill, in which case the accuracy of her reads has no relevance to whether she dies or not.

On Day One, we had much less information than we do now. We're at the point where we have the information from day one to learn from. Also, most players are deciding who they see as scum versus town. You are difficult to judge in terms of alignment because of your lower activity. What I would like to hear from you are your thoughts on yesterday's wagon. For example, how many scum do you think were on the wagon? Who do you think is scum based on who voted ArthurConyl? Or who didn't want to vote for ArthurConyl? Because scum knew the whole time that he was town, so you can go back and look at interactions with hindsight, knowing that.

If you don't give us more information in terms of how you're feeling and thinking, we might think it is because you have something to hide.

Why did I vote for you? The only tool we have to find scum is our votes. I will use it how I think it is most effective to find scum. Without votes on you, you might not feel the heat enough to post more. Maybe some votes will give you more motivation to share your reads etc.

I'll be lower activity for the next day or so since I'll be traveling. Should be back to usual capabilities by Saturday evening or Sunday morning CST.

I have been rereading since I read of Shelly's demise, and continue to recalibrate. Especially Shelly as Clarkbar and The Worst as Noraa. And the analyses of all about Arthur.
