While certainly not the best evidence, we don't have much at this point.

It's page 5. What, do you expect to have perfect reads on everybody at this point? This is why we keep digging deeper and don't stick ourselves on one point.

However pressuring people that you suspect, even a little bit, it a fairly good way to get a better read on someone, be it town or scum.

Exactly, we don't have much to go on, so we start with the little bit we do have and go from there.

Riabi asks me about GM's meta
I respond
Bitmap agrees
Espresso disagrees
Riabi asks for clarification
Espresso clarifies, vehemently, with exclamation points and expletives, that he disagrees
Less than ten posts later, Espresso says that we are "stuck on one point", without having offered any other points we might want to pursue.
I would vote Espresso, but his actions are only scummy based on an assumed pairing between him and GM, and I'm not comfortable with making that assumption at this point.

GM's rhyming is clever but not helpful. I'm coming to expect no help from her, though.

Still getting Kib as townish. Bitmap, less so. I would vote Nuff at this point because we have seen next to nothing from him, and nothing useful, but I don't want an easy lynch at L-2 just in case.

Rex, you weren't around for a large portion there. How are things looking to you at this point?

@Starling

So far I have a slight town Kiboat hunch simply because of his activity. He seems to be asking lots of good questions and trying to get some good discussions going.

I don't like gm continuing to not answer any questions but hopefully her "full discussion" tomorrow will clear that up.

I'm getting a scumread on Nuff right now due their lack of posts. Their only posts so far has been a RVS and an unvote from that with lots of excuses about not reading the previous posts. At the moment I hope that they continue to get pressured and respond so I can try and get a more definitive read off of them.

POST MORE NUFF! You too NicCage!

I love magic!

Onto the inquiries about me: There's not much else I can say aside from what I already have, to defend myself. To be honest, looking back over my (2) posts in the thread, I suppose I do come off as a bit scummy, with an RV after the RVS stage was "over", and then with my defense of ignorance and jest. Reading over the thread again though, I'm getting a bit of a scumread on Riabi, as he's been quick to follow along with the discussion and jump from one person to another on votes. Other than him, I'm kind of on the fence about Goodmorning. Not delving as far as some of you are by looking into past games, but iunno. Being helpful and being cryptic are different things.

With that being said, if the consensus becomes to lynch me, you'll at least have my FOS's or thoughts on some potential mafia parties. Hopefully it's enough to help the town win!

Jump from one person to another on votes?... there was T-Rex, who was an RV, then there was you, which was essentially another RV because I didn't realize I could do a no-vote. Then, once I remembered that part, I changed to no-vote. Had I remembered I could have gone from T-Rex to no-vote... I would have. Being a noob =/= being scum.

That's why I said "a bit scummy". As I've labeled my posts as such, as well, I'm just pointing out my views on it that's all. A plea of ignorance can only get us so far.

I would really like to hear from GM and, especially, NicCage. He's a totally unknown commodity at this point and that makes me nervous.

Well I feel comfortable saying kiboat is clearly town, his play style and tone look open to me. Not that this opinion is too original

Bitmap worries me a bit.

And GM is worrying me too. I wonder, GM, you have a lot of posts that say hmmmm but no explanation or follow up. Are you waiting for questions?
In regards to the quiet strategy, and teaching, are you trying to avoid playing mother duck?

I thought his post was bad. About to vote for Nic/GM for both being useless.

Actually this bit is towny because I was thinking the same. Still not happy with Nic's catch up post though.

I wouldn't call it a catch up post as much as me just getting my feet wet.
What's your read on riabi? Do you think GM's problem with his first post is entirely contrived?
