No there isn't
Because I'm voting you and the game isn't over, and they've all posted

It's been a long time since I've been involved in theatre but I believe I have heard the term "the romeo" and "the juliet" to refer to a plays main romantic leads before.
Not sure though.
Interesting. This is "the Romeo" of this production.

That actually scratches that particular itch I've had for awhile. I still think we're in a 4 scum game, which means today is ELO.
The "up" side of setting Ircher/Kuribo/TSQ aside as probably town, along with PB, is that I know my own role and if we're in a 4 scum game it's literally solved. The "down" side is that right now I think the folks who matter are poised to rope me, which would end the game as a loss.
This is all it took for Drixx to drop his paranoia.
Would you have dropped being paranoid over this? Do you relate with this?
Who said I dropped my paranoia? I said that the explanation of it as "This character is 'the Romeo' of our production" scratched the linguistic itch that was bothering me. And while you may not realize it, most people do like 95% of their linguistic work by instinct. It's like how English speakers know that the "Big hairy dog" is correct but "hairy big dog" is incorrect, instinctually. It really did matter when it seemed like there was a large inconsistency with the naming schema, because it's unlikely that most people even think of it as a schema. They just do things by instinct.

PB you are wrong. The only question is whether you are "genuinely" wrong or not.
I said on day 2 when the claim happened that there would be an appropriate time to act upon it if nobody else ever confirmed them. Today is the time but we conveniently have another claim coming in that has a "domino" clearing effect. If you can't see how that would be strong as a scum gambit ... dunno what to say. Like ... there's a non trivial possibility space that the game is literally just the four "cleared" are scum and the rest of us are just fighting with each other while you all laugh about it. I've seen much crazier stuff in this game over the years.
But your assertion that I didn't seriously consider it is just wrong. It's provably wrong just by reading what I said about it in day 2. If there wasn't a claim by TSQ that "clears" Kuribo, today would have been the appropriate time to rope Ircher, which is what I not so subtly hinted at on day 2.
I need to read all the posts that showed up in p-edit, and I also have about 2.25 hours of work left, and then however long it takes me to finish with what I've been working on.
No. Prioritize your ISO dive. Stop wasting time engaging arguments that merely clutter the thread.

I guess I should say this officially. If we lim not STD I will be targeting STD with the caterer. If there is a tracker they should track me. If there's a visionary they should target STD.
If we do not lim Drixx today I will target Drixx, same plan for tracker, visionary target drixx.
If we somehow lim neither of them idk what I'll do yet. Probably Drixx, but I'll decide for sure if this becomes a realistic possibility.

To be fair, coordinating a four player quickhammer can be tough. I wouldn't discount the possibility entirely based solely on the fact there hasn't been one yet.

Well they seem pretty unconcerned with my vote if they believe this is a possibility still

Thank you. That's a remarkably helpful post. Now I have to try and figure out if you would have made this post as scum. Why lend me clarity when I'm so clearly having trouble with the game state...
Also I talked about this earlier in the day: GiF came into the day voting me and Pink Ball got them to back off to discuss the day more. If you four were mafia together you could have instead rode that to a victory.

I have literally no clue what this post means
I was looking quickly through TSQ's ISO and stumbled upon this post. Despite my frustration with Titus for not responding to my criticism of her plan by improving said plan or explaining in some other way, she was remarkably on point with the game state. Like ... she has FB in the poe and GiF out, but only because she presumed Black would be targeting GiF. She otherwise literally predicted the gamestate.
