1) Drac mightve had a day abilty right?
I have a feeling the unown thing is either part of the ability or a scum ability to disrupt other abilitys
Okay. Screw this.
You are doing fine. You gave a nice introduction, and you don't have to worry about your formality or the fact that you need to explain your actions; these things happen to a lot of people, and you are not alone.
Okay, so... apparently my predecessor had already asked that question, which is fine and all but... regarding the following quotes:
Disclaimer: Most of this is pure conjecture.
Now that that's out of the way, let's go down the list of players.
1. TeamAqua4Life #HEYNICK
I can't really tell based on his content whether he is suspicious or not. Given that this is D1, I suppose that is to be expected, but I would neither see him as town or scum right now. Nothing major in his posts, RVS, side comments... I have nothing.
Neutral
2. Ephemera
I'll skip myself, for obvious reasons.
3. NaganadelIsBeast
Being an inexperienced player, there is always the chance that they are simply finding this a bit confusing (I know I am). However, I am finding them slightly suspicious due to their post on Mordacazir, right after NinjaPenguin pressured Mordacazir as well. Slight bandwagoning maybe? However, this also may mean that they are not scum, because if they were scum, they might have been getting tips from the other members. This could get me into a confusing spiral, so I'll leave it at that. Right now, I can't read NaganadelisBeast as town.
Neutral, leaning scum
4. TheAquaPiplup
Having no posts and replacing a player with no posts hinders me from making any reads.
Neutral, I guess, but only because I have nothing to read...
5. GM DracLord
There is little to analyze from GM DracLord's posts, the main things being he finds it interesting to vote new people (which I guess is fair) and maybe some subtle redirecting of NP's question about OMGUS? (Unless that was a satisfactory answer, in which case idk.)
Neutral, maybe leaning scum a bit?
6. Jadethepokemontrainer
I can't really tell. There's not much to analyze. Voted for me in RVS, then asked me what my reads are, that's fair. Nothing really suspicious, but nothing too major to the game?
Neutral
7. Celever
I got nothing. Starts RVS, then leaves. I guess that's to be expected, considering he said he wouldn't have much time, but that means that there's nothing to base any reads off of.
Neutral
8. NinjaPenguin
Seems to be the most vocal. Content is mostly pressuring GM DracLord b/c OMGUS, then Mordacazir about pursuing leads, then asking me and NaganadelisBeast about playstyles and reads. Says there's almost no content to judge, which is somewhat fair. I can't say whether NP is town or scum, but I wouldn't vote for him today, if this were to keep up. My gut feeling says he might be town, but my feelings have been wrong many times before...
Neutral, slightly leaning town but only b/c of gut feelings
9. mordacazir
Has NP on his case b/c of not pursuing a lead while talking about pursuing leads? Somewhat true, but this is also D1. May not mean anything. Also, NaganadelisBeast (i need a nickname for you) thinks that he's suspicious b/c of not voting and other stuff? Okay... He is calling that either one of the people thinking he is suspicious is scum... that's possible. I would put him between GM DracLord and NaganadelisBeast on my sus list. Could be suspicious, but nothing solid enough.
Neutral, leaning scum
TLDR:
TeamAqua4Life #HEYNICK, Jadethepokemontrainer, Celever are neutral, nothing suspicious b/c nothing solid enough to read
TheAquaPiplup is neutral, but only b/c he has posted nothing.
NP feels town, but there is no evidence to point one way or another. He's aggressive, but I believe that's normal?
GM DracLord feels slightly suspicious, but again, nothing solid.
mordacazir seems defensive, but not too much. Slightly suspicious, more than GM DracLord.
NaganadelisBeast is either inexperienced and made a mistake, or bandwagoning on mordacazir. Somewhat suspicious.
Man, that took long.
@Jadethepokemontrainer Do you have any reads?
@Ephemera, would you mind telling me why you would bother giving a whole readlist on everyone, rather than small talks? I understand that you want to explain your arguments, but surely you don't want to have your townreads as their targets?
...yep, I made a good choice voting you immediately. No regrets were made.
I'm in the same boat as you. If anything, I hope to come up with something when I read the thread later. I don't have the time right now.
...combined with the post before this one, I am beginning to see you less as a scum. I shall take back my vote.
For a moment, I thought we had a mindmelt and I was about to put you as lock-town, but then the following quote happened, which made me re-read this post and realize that it was not a mindmelt after all.
Why would anyone bother voting Piplup when one of the basic requirements is to post one post per day? I assume it is per 1 RL days and not 1 Day cycle, so... it seems kind of odd to me.
Found a scum. No town -unless they are newbies- ever say "if you want to, I can do it". This is literally the mindset I had back in my early scum days.
It tells me that Naganadel is just new town. He probably would've been coached to stay away from that kind of text with an experienced scum on the team which, given the numbers, there is likely one experienced scum minimum.
...I retract my FoS on anyone who instigated the wagon on Piplup; a bandwagonner with primitive arguments is bad, but one that isn't getting modkilled is worse.
This is 100% bandwagonning, and anyone who says otherwise is scum.
Day 2 VC 2: No votes on anyone.
What is up with everyone and read lists? I get that it is relatively more harmless at D1, but even then it is still not a good plan!
Hm... This is a progressive post. You are town.
...the fact that this post makes sense forces me to see you as town. ...even if I want to lynch you for using me as an example of a bad player.
Wait... I know the answer is probably on Page 8, but how the heck did Piplup die after they've given their role? What the heck is up with Page 7?
I see... To have the reveal at 2 hours before EOD... well, that is just unlucky then.
Only 4? Scum could've literally killed anyone active, yet they chose to kill the guy on V/LA. This either means that they are newbies, or that they are overconfident that they will survive past D2.
Denied. Reason: My previous mass-claim play threw everyone off and basically made a major setback to town.
One problem: The only person who knew the people online at that time was the victim himself.
Oh. Well that actually helps a lot. (No sarcasm)
If scum's goal was to make me think they are newbies, then they have succeeded; I can only think of Naga when I think about scum's kill on Drac. Cel and NP are way too smart to kill literally the most legitimately silent player of the game, while Ephemera and Nick are catalysts to the game's progression. All I am left with are Naga and Morda, and I would rather pressure the newbie than the one who was already (supposedly) pressured D1.
Dunno about you, but this is my normal.
We have a dead TK bandwagonner and a dead V/LA JOAT. Meanwhile, you also have 5 RL days worth of content from D1 (no matter how small they might be). How long do you need to take to form an opinion? It's literally "vote anyone who I think is suspicious because they did something I don't like".
Hm... Well, I suppose that's the common reaction from anyone who hasn't met me before. You're not the first, nor will you be the last.
