Okay, so I was having a dream that I was writing this post for this game. I was actually going to hang back and follow our mason strategy of never being too townie so that we were unlikely to get nightkilled, giving us more days as confirmed townies. But honestly, that seems like it will shoot the town in the foot instead of helping at all. Zakk and I need to take command of this game otherwise, I believe, the mafia will run it off track. Now, Nero is going to complain something about how I am fear mongering the town. Perhaps he has a reason to fear that I might do that. But the people that were low yesterday are Zakk, myself and Varsoon. Which means a lynch of any of these three, barring perhaps Varsoon will result in more townie deaths.
But Suzune, you are clearly scum for day one with Soul? I can hear you saying it. Other then the fact that it makes little sense to me this complaint. It looks like my first posts recieved very slip results. You either think I am scum for informing beeboy that Soul was not on to buddy? (This apparently people think this is some kind of soft defense?) I am scum for pushing her slot and voting for her after poking a wear argument? Or I am scum for picking on her because she is a new player. I mean, goodness pick your battle but they are all silly. Otherwise, I am being scum read for having a radiacal opinion about who is and is not scum in this game. However, if everyone fell in line with what the loud voices were saying then we would lose four townies in four days. So two to one half a dozen of the other. Pick your battle. Now clearly, Zakk came in with a disadvantage because my former Mason partner never talked to me and just posted about himself and went on vacation. So yay. However, the scum read was never revaluated after a new player took over the slot meaning people are pushing for easy lynches.
We really need to take the time today to go over where we stand about people and why that is. A quick lynch today is not the answer and another rush lynch like yesterday was terrible. Post in the game, go to work, come home game is over. We should be concerned about that very concerned. We tried to get Titus lynched for three days and were at a standstill. So much so, I thought we would never push the lynch forward on him. It happened. Yay! But, notice the difference of today. All the loud voices fed into the lynch hype. It should have been obvious by the quick speed of the train that it was a poor lynch. We need to not jump hoops like that again.
Since I have the floor and my mason partner gladly admitted he would summarize it on my death, that I might as well talk about reads and why some people should be considered since we are spending too much time trying to lynch the masons.
So let's start with the elephant in the room. Varsoon. Okay, so we have a totally wonky role claim that looks like survivor. So the question became do we lynch him. Honestly, and I will stand by this opinion. No. Waste of time. If it gets late game then clearly that is the obvious choice but wasting town power on this is foolish. It distracts the town from obviously scum hunting. It would be easier to treat him as a miller then a survivor and deal with it later. I am telling you that if we lynch him today we are doing ourselves no favours and we are simply just proving that some people can whine their way into the lynch they want regardless of it even making sense. This game has been full of double negatives. I state that I think the mafia is leading the town and I am accused of fear mongering. Someone else claimed that when it gets to day 6 and Varsoon wins then it will be all our faults. So how come that would not be fear mongering it has the same intention. If town does not do "x" they will lose. Yet not a single person called that out. (Sorry this is one of those little things that burns me like nothing else.)
Okay, moving on, other reads.
We have some kind of amazing theory going on right now that Ranger much be town because we was the opposite dueling wagon. You do realize that it is possible for town to have correctly discovered two scum right. If we go to the he must be townie because of that, we will never stand a chance in this game. All game ranger has done little for this game. He posted many of his littles reads lists. Locks his votes without being open to discussion and does not really back his opinions. It is tough to judge someone who does not allow themselves to be judged. I think this spot is scum and it has been skirting by without posting anything because we are covering for it. This is something that needs to be addressed. Worth a lot of pressure votes if you ask me.
Ok, so let’s talk for a minutes about this do you have a private topic ability. It has been the thorn in my side for a while now. Now, in any ordinary game I assume it would be to avoid having a cop in hopes of finding the scum based on ability. But you have to admit, with three private topics in this game, it seems kind of off does it not? Assuming five scum, threeish people in the neighborhood (Heat would have to confirm this is just a guess), and the Masons. We are looking at an upwards of nine people in private topics or 1/3 the game. With the potential of having more townies in private topics then scum, so let me pose this question. Who does this ability really help? The town, or the scum?
I was going to write more reads, but I got tired of preparing stuff…need some time away from typing this. You will have to wait for them because it is hard to read and quote stuff when the topic is locked…
