Surreptitious II: Secrets and Misdirection

[Sky_Paladin]

TBH I don't like it - players should be able to gurp out their scum reads pretty easily. It's not as if saying your reads ends the game immediately.
A quick ISO shows his last meaningful post is here where his scum pick is Transend and has a few town picks.
There is also this from the start of the day but it does not include scumpicks from B.

I can't see anything from Ginger on day 2 about scum in B, just adamant that we don't lynch in B. My initial reaction is 'Seems bad.'

[Sky_Paladin]

To clarify, I mean 'meaningful post' as in one that has alignment discussion. Everything else is mainly argument about game mechanics and the dis/advantages of lynching a certain group. The argument does has value, just not in determining his reads.

[Sky_Paladin]

I'm also expecting you to reply, Creature, to my previous query; but I can see you're busy with Ging right now so I'll wait for now.

[Creature]

No one will hammer Group C while I'm not here, can I trust it?

[Sky_Paladin]

If you reply to my messages instead of treating me like your ex who you only talk to when you need food, sure.

[Ginngie]

Lmao

[Creature]

Hi, can a few of you unvote so we can talk better tomorrow?

[Transcend]

UNVOTE:

So creature stops peeing

[Sky_Paladin]

I will be out of town for the next 48-72 hours re: Christmas, but I'll still be able to read the game and post occasionally from my phone, so I am not going V/LA.

[Sky_Paladin]

At this stage my main thoughts are:
Vonflare is my pick for scum in C.
Uzi is my pick for scum SA in B, and is probably my preferred lynch for today.
Snowman is my current pick for goon in B. I am not really impressed with Thor/Maji/Momo yet but at least they exist. I really do want to sit down and go through all these ISO's but my holiday starts in about an hour and I just can't settle down for it just yet.
In A I have Toto/Dan/Vax. I'll admit this is more POE than real scum hunting as I feel pretty good about Eli/Creature/Bulb, Creature totally ignoring my questions notwithstanding.

I feel there are good candidates from lynching in any of these pools. Ginger's apprehension at lynching in B and flat out refusing to state reads is alarming as I can't really concile this with a town mindset.
Would like to see more content from Thor/Dan.

I have noticed that Vonflare is active and posting elsewhere in the site and not approaching here despite repeated promises to do so/dodging a lynch in the previous day phase.
I earlier commented that there's value in sorting B. I don't know if this value exceeds lynching C/Vonflare but my gut says better the devil you know.

[Toto]

Hi! why do do you scum read me and

repeat

agree with my reads at the same time

[Toto]

I actually lied about spoiling the movie. Bulb you can “come back” and play the game

The group B stuff is a little funny because both players are arguing a fact while also arguing a derp at the same time, making it an odd sort of argument.

@Creature - yeah, lynching in B is fine this phase, the only potential negative with 1/2 is a rather potent Mafia PR (which is also potentially an issue with 2/1). The "inevitable" commentary is objectively silly though - there are multiple avenues to put off the B question till people feel more comfortable/informed about it. So stop derping.

@Ginggie - Just because there's actually no particular win in going into B over any other group outside of hoping to get PR info inside of B does not make B inherently a bad decision. For starters, 1/2 is not a town loss - go read the scum wincon and stop derping.

in other news;

V/LA - Christmas y'all, till 12/26

Or, because apparently this can be invisible nowadays

VOTE: V/LA - Christmas y'all, till 12/26

I personally still think A makes the most sense, but to be perfectly frank, as I discussed in the ancient times of Day 2 and Checkers forgot - I am fine with a lynch in any group at the moment, though I actually think it's beneficial to not combine in the ICs until after we do 2 lynches in A and another in B - but, hey, I also don't see it as tragic.

[ActionDan]

We aren't lynching group B.

VOTE: Group A

We are lynching Group A

[InactionDan]

[Vaxkiller]

Anyone not town reading creature needs to go home.

[Ramcius]

Creature, are you sure you got it right? I always thought it was Bonn...

[Creature]

I'd be willing to lynch any of them besides Majiffy, and it's not that I town read him, I just want him to live till the game is small enough we can sort of interact, get paranoid at each other, and set up a 1v1

Oh god you're scum and want me to townread you in endgame aren't you

I like that traitor crumb.

[Creature]

Majiffy is traitor crumbing to goon Thor.

[InactionDan]

You're not making a very good impression >:(

Yeah I know...

But I’m not getting lynched so no biggie

I like this one better

All of A has checked in btw.

How is that a traitor crumb exactly?
I mean, I can see he's saying the word scum, but beyond that...?
