I wonder whether/how quickly I'd get modkilled if I put a vote for a different player at the bottom of every post, considering how often I post in a game.

I'm not a big fan of associating activity with alignment, but i have to admit a touch of concern over the fact Auro has less posts than Datisi.

Trying to decide whether I want to eat or sleep.

Tempted to ask for advice, but I'll probably be asleep before anyone answers, so I guess I have my answer.

Thor's hilarious but it seems pretty much like he rolled scum and decided to experiment with how far he could get blatantly trolling everyone.

Note his phrase "which I carefully examined in the worst's honor", he knew what he was doing.

Inb4 Thor offers a mechanical strategy on the assumption that Ascetic Cop checks whether their target is Ascetic or not.

I don't care about how bad he is or isn't at mechanics.

How else do you want to defend your behavior?

Whereas, I don't think I've met a single person who displayed both the amount of interest in mechanics and the amount of ineptitude with mechanics that Thor has. I've seen some people be bad at mechanics; but that's because they don't care, and they would never go to the lengths he did to make these theories.
Hi, I'm Flea, also MHTP, Hades and Malefleacent.
I play differently on each account
I also take a LOT of interest in mechanics.

For you to take shady actions as a scum alt, you have to take shady actions as a town alt

Your argument doesn't hold.

Oh, so like that game where unwnd rolled SK and pretended to be a newbie? He would have done that as town?

You're projecting based on your own alt experiences.
It's always the same. When you fire that first shot, no matter how right you feel, you have no idea who's going to die. You don't know whose children are going to scream and burn. How many hearts will be broken. How many lives shattered. How much blood will spill, until everybody does what they're always going to have to do from the very beginning... SIT DOWN AND TALK!

I feel like death WOOOOOOOO.

Some thoughts from a morning skim, miserable in bed:

- I think Thor is town; this is a controversial take but previously I saw Enchant’s meta defense of Thor and liked it. This has more strength now, imo, because it felt like a more concise explanation than some of the other reads Enchant gave. I don’t know if Enchant is a strong enough scum player to give that sort of read on a scum partner even if it isn’t a home run meta read. Also, going back through some of Enchant’s games I’ve seen him make this sort of defense on a player who was town and under pressure where he basically WKs them and says “they just feel town guys!! Just town!” Even if what Thor’s doing is silly I think it’s town-silly rather than scum.

- The worst was probably killed for reads, given the fact he got Enchant + his placement in the draft makes it a coin flip if you’re going to try for that. I don’t think it’s Thor and of the three remaining (Flea, MG, MM) I’d vote the last two today because Flea’s given me townpings today. Knowing that it upset MM to be pushed for activity makes me feel bad but s: it’s a pattern and her interactions with Enchant don’t look good in retrospect. My feet are very cold on this though because I like her posting a lot and don’t want to vote her because of that on a personal level. If MM is scum I think Manatee looks worse from D1 where she didn’t vote her but I still don’t know if they’re S/S. >_>

I’ll be around later but please forgive me MM. ;_; VOTE: Miss Midnight
The devil's got nothing on me, my friend.

Misread.

Scum has motive to pick ascetic cop because of the first word in the role.

I’m also inclined to believe that this iteration of Enchant’s wagon is more likely to be all-town than the EOD one. MG is the only questionable person on it.

Also, scum can pick bp and CLAIM they picked the cop role, so I'd hammer them anyway.

Sure, but it's still not as useful for them as it is for town. They have to either claim cop (and justify why they haven't died) or not claim cop (in which case the ascetic can hurt because it guilties them against every PR that gets feedback if there's no roleblocker).

Sure, but town can also pick cop and claim they picked cop. And if it's not close to lylo, and they do happen to be cop, you get free cop results by leaving them alive a few days.

Sure, having a scum flip a few days earlier is nice. But free cop results are MUCH nicer.

Can a couple of people unvote me? I'm really starting to feel the pressure and it's making it really hard to form coherent thoughts without being worried more people will scumread me for saying something dumb. It's hard for me to work in these constrained environments.
