NY 142: Rolling in the Deep, WAIT WAT? PARTY OVER?!

[Faraday]

So what's mastin's play like?

verbose

[theamatuer]

Is posting without the mod officially claiming the replacement first a fad or something?

[sorgster]

Hi mastin. There are a lot of posts. Can you please post reads after you finish reading this whole thread?

[Faraday]

well it's not like it matters as long as you have your role pm

[theamatuer]

The problem is I dont think he did.

[Faraday]

well it's not like he's posted content? i don't see the problem, really

[mastin2]

I don't have the PM, yet, actually. Would've said as much if I did.

Since this IS a 50+ Day One game, and since unless someone else offered to replace in first, I'm almost certainly going to be playing, can someone give me a tl;dr summary of things?

[Faraday]

tl'dr lots of people are making terrible votes and getting caught up in LOL UR SO BAD and voting obvtown when they should be voting some of the scums in the game.

[Faraday]

if you want NAMES see Beck and SV

[Pine]

Hi guys.

OMG I love you man

TL;DR: Lots and lots and lots and lots of bullshit to wade through. You'll cut down your reading by (literally) about a quarter if you skip everything the massive VI Beck has posted. He's almost certainly Town, but he's so prone to serious OMGUS, spite, frivolity, and general idiocy that he's worthless. I'm hoping he's N1 vigbait. That'll reduce it down to an effective 30ish pages, which is much more reasonable.

Lots of lurkers. Shattered Viewpoint is Nobody Special. Hiraki's being weird and ThAd lurky but is producing acceptable content when he does pop in. Faraday is temporarily replacing iamausername. Revenus is hard to read, but fairly prolific without being completely unreadable. I currently have a scum read after an initial Town read, due some recent things he's said and his bad reactions to being wagoned. He's changed tack and is lurking until suspicion goes away, which I won't allow. Theamateur and popsofctown are both being very difficult, having rebounded from earlier scumreads with decent activity. There's more, but most of the players in this thread have yet to do anything worth remembering. It's seriously composed of 90-95% of the people I just mentioned. In a 22-player.

[Faraday]

at least dy is an awesome co-mod.

[Faraday]

don't forget there are a number of non moronic obvtown too.

[Pine]

I agree, but I was trying to give Mastin information on the thread without biasing his reads too much. Giving him too much of my reads (or yours) could influence how he reads the thread, and we'd get less of that unique Mastin insight we all love so much.

[ZeL1nK]

You were right the first time. vijay's defenses are all sounding like "I'm scum, but you have no way of knowing that."

You're right, that's partially why I was fine with my vote on him when he was like "lol what's teh case on me? i have nothing to dooooooooooo" but his posts after that made me feel better about him. Maybe I'm just a sucker for someone that looks like they're trying and isn't taking part in back-and-forth derpfests.

At the very least, I don't think it's worth pursuing him atm over other players like soda.

In other news, screaminghawk proving he's town yet again in every post since #1272.

skipping sorg's posts now. I have a bigger "don't read their posts" list than I usually do in this game.

He's voting vijay so he's ok by me. Why have people started focussing on him? Is he the "in" lurker, the "cool" lurker to vote for now?

No. I'm voting him because I had a change of heart about vijay and soda's vote on vijay made me realise I don't even know who the fuck he is. So I ISOd him and saw nothing I liked. It's not that he's lurking, it's that he's active lurking.

Just between you and me, don't tell anyone else, I'm really just vote-hopping to see what sticks. I

do

think there's a decent chance he's scum, but I'm more doing it to see what others think about him. That said, what do you think about Soda?

[Sky]

^Not sure if I agree. Why didn't you just ask us instead of some backhanded wagon hopping maneuver?

[DarthYoshi]

WITH TWENTY-TWO ALIVE, IT'S TWELVE TO LYNCH.
DEADLINE: NOVEMBER 2ND @ 10PM PACIFIC STANDARD TIME.

at least dy is an awesome co-mod.

Faraday, you are a gentleman and a scholar.

Mastin does indeed replace Primate. Since Mastin didn't actually PM me, I didn't know to send him the role PM for the spot. He should have it now, though.

DavidParker has approximately 24 more hours to respond to his prod before being replaced.

And as a general PSA, while the trolling is not at a level where I would take direct action, I would strongly encourage folks to strap on their emotional hiking boots and climb up Maturity Mountain.

Heart,
DY

Because I think he's scum, ya fkn idiot. Read.

You can't have both son.

I don't know... You're intentions just seem off... like you're trying too hard to justify you're wagon hop.

[mastin2]

*cracks wrists*

Let's see if I live up to my current signature.

Got my PM, so time to work.

[mastin2]

So, 22 players. Six scum, right?

This'll be fun.

[mastin2]

Initial impression. (First page.) Revenus is town.
I'll take it on Pine and Faraday's word that SV and Beck are town, since my initial impression does not impress me.
Small scumread on Soda.
Very slight scumread on Hiraki, too; we'll see about it later.

Since two of my initial scumreads voted sword, if I'm correct in my reads, sword's most likely town.
There's probably one scum in the David Parker voters (and David Parker's probably town), but it's hard to tell who at this point.

Unfortunately, those are the only reliable things I have. There's more, but I'm less sold on those.

[mastin2]

BTW, I *want* to say it's Slandaar. Y'know, of the David Parker voters. Anyway, have written down the thoughts which I am less sure on so I can come back and review on them later. Moving on to page two.

[mastin2]

Also, pretty sure Username (and therefore Faraday) is town. Pine I'm just going to assume is town, since if he isn't I'm screwed (he'll keep me alive as long as I think he's town, and then BAM! THE very night I'm planning to lynch him, I end up dead ) and if he is it's not worth the time trying to figure out his alignment.

Thinking Funky and Amateur are both town, for reference.
Also retracting my sword town-read, in favor for null.

Sky's prob-town, too.
Hiraki's back up to null.

And Slandaar

still

looks bad to me.

That's two! I'm 1/27th done!

[mastin2]

Since I covered the first two already (they're the important ones ), I'll be posting less. Still, first five or so sounds nice.

Think one of {Slanddar, BV} is scum, but that the other is town.

Also, no more than one in {Pops, Zdenek} is scum; it's possible neither is.

My soda scumread has strengthened, for the record.

Zdenek (4): theamatuer, Hiraki, funkybike, Beck
Beck (4): Revenus, Shattered Viewpoint, Pine, Sorgster

Concerningly, I have no scumreads on the Zdenek wagon, other than my old (now null) Hiraki one.
Beck is in a semi-similar position, though not quite.

Zel might be scum. Depends on Slandaar, though. Slandaar-town, Zel-prob-scum. Sladaar-scum, Zel-town.

I'll see what comes up from my compiled reads based off of the first five. (Which is soon-to-be 1/11th of the game.)

[ZeL1nK]

You can't have both son.

........

Yes, I can.

like you're trying too hard to justify you're wagon hop.

OK, that's great, do you think I'm scum or is this just active lurking in hopes of people overlooking you?

What do you think of Soda?
