A- I believe one of the scum is Whad. He right off the back jumps into trying to gin control of the conversation. His response to my response has been nothing but highlighting and comments on the obvious. It's not only the responses he gives to me but to others as well. He also responds with a lot of questions.
Firebringer, can you comment on what I said about DarknessB's common sense substance posts seeming like scum trying to seem helpful while not adding new analysis to the game?B- I think your case against me is incorrect but I understand it which is why i'm not lashing out. I did carry a strong presence in my first game so I guess that's what is expected of me but you start of by saying that I'm suspicious because i'm not playing like last game. & then you follow with she only speaks when spoken too.. the only reason why i had such a strong presence that first game was because i was always being spoken too. And i was always spoken too because I had been there since the beginning of the game always giving my 2 cents. I feel uncomfortable now giving my 2 cents not because i feel "guilty" as Whad of shit would say, but because I'm having a hard time jumping in.So my question for you is, who is the most suspicious player in the game to you, and what is your reasoning for them being the most suspicious.
C- I'm town because that's what my role card says. I live in a lighthouse and I'm always on the lookout for ships that look like they're about to hit a bumpy wave.
A. Why is 'trying to gain control of the conversation' a scum tell to you? Why do you not think that any of the other posters, such as FB and myself, are not doing this?
What statements has he made that are 'obvious' to you?
B. You 'think'? If you're town, you should KNOW that I'm barking up the wrong tree at best.
Yes, it's hard not to notice how passive you are now compared to how you were last game. If people are not talking to you, you force them to. This is common sense and I find it hard to believe that you felt that people would reach out to you by lurking. You saw how little people focused on thedougler, Renata, etc while they were behaving similarly to what you're doing now, which reinforces my point.
I would also like to point out since were using my first game as a reference, Day 1's aren't really my speciality. I have a hard time deciphering what is a scum tell and what is just a townie confused or trying.
A- You both aren't dominating the conversation with colour and 0 content explanations. You both didn't jump out of nowhere and you are raising good point about each other as opposed to raising obvious points.
B- The question was why do you think, so I answer as I think as that's how I was taught to write full sentences. You're supposed to incorporate the question are you not. But sure, I guess the "know/think" part can be slabbed onto why i'm scum, that's pretty weak though in my opinion.
I didn't think someone would reach out to me as I was lurking, I don't even think I was lurking. I KEEP TRYING TO EXPLAIN THAT MY PROBLEM IS I STARTED THE READING LATE AND I DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO JUMP IN, BITE ME. I would like to think i'm a little more intelligent than as you portray me. I saw how Renata and TheDougler were so very little focused on but I'm actually a little insulted that you would think I would try to use that method of flying under the radar, if i was scum. It clearly shows me how you read me wrong, which makes me question who else you're reading wrong.
I don't like attack anyone on day 1 because if we pressure the scum then there is no problem. But if we pressure the town. They might soft claim-lie claim their role. Make the scum can guess and either choose to attack or avoid the target. Plus the longer the person being pressured alive, the longer scum going to let the town distract by keep the person being pressured alive.
- Although pressure on scum can lead to 3 groups:
- group 1: the scum ignore or didn't mention about their scum teammate
- group 2: the scum mention their teammate as a scum read in their list
- group 3: the scum mention their teammate as a town read in their list
-----> I don't know if pressure the person day 1 is a good risk or not. But this is the list of risk/reward I can figure about lynch people day 1

I thought maybe I would get the conversation rolling and have myself incorporated once I had found something I thought I was able to contribute too and build upon. There was many useless shit posts and clashing of heads before I started posting, not much was valuable to me except the few comments by Aivion and a few things you actually said Calix, which is where i chose to jump into the conversation.
A. How has Whad been making 'zero content explanations' and which points has he made that are 'obvious'?
'Jump out of nowhere' - Isn't that how EVERYONE enters the thread? This isn't a scum tell.
B. You're justifying my scum-read of you...? "Oh I GUESS you can add that to your scum-read of me." WTF
You give your opinions on the players in the chat and pressure the ones who are dodgy, lol. How you have only JUST STARTED to scum-hunt is beyond me.
Your intelligence has nothing to do with anything. Stop acting like I am personally attacking you.
Why would it matter if you're questioning who else I'm reading wrong...? That last line makes NO sense; of course some of my reads will be off-base, given it's Day fucking One.
Superjack on. Come on, post something ya? v(o.o(<?

I hope I'm not getting under your skin, you seem a little tense....
A-As Iced Monopoly pointed out:Iced_Monopoly since you are around and I have pretty good faith in your towniness what do you think of my suspicions on Calix and my read that Firebringer is town playing poorly?Then:are you simply grouping them all as possibly either, because the latter seems less useful
I think it was said a million times that DarknessB was just restating stuff that should be obvious.I found all of the posts from DarknessB that I quoted to be restating stuff that should be obvious from the setup OR from any sort of common sense regarding playing mafia. They did strike me deeply as scum playing town and posting these basic common sense posts to seem to be participating while not contributing much new information or analysis.
A 2 year old playing this game could tell you you're trying to figure out who is scum.I'd rather focus the microscope on my scum reads than on my town reads.
Then he goes on saying lets start a pressure train on Calix, gets told by monopoly about how you're AFK then nothing said for like 20 posts or so & then:
After just saying:Firebringer, can you comment on what I said about DarknessB's common sense substance posts seeming like scum trying to seem helpful while not adding new analysis to the game?Which I think he used as his way of turning the conversation onto Calix.I am trying my hardest to reconcile my scum read on him
B- Everyone jumps into the conversation at some point but some people don't jump into the conversation with 15 pages of content to read and respond too at once which can be overwhelming.
Your scum read on me is this: I'm not like how i played last game and I said think instead of know.
C- I don't think you're attacking me personally nor do i want to portray that I'm being attacked. You've used my first game as an example a lot and so again i'm gonna use it. My scum tell sucks and I'm sorry, I'd rather use Day 1 as trying to find out what everyones character is like and what's there vibe before I throw heavy shade day 2. But at this point I don't think I'm gonna see day2, lynch me.
This game became really less serious in last few pages.
Can we just lynch Mesk, it will completely help me sort Calix.
Don't pet growlithe, he will bite you.
Well, I have school now...
If i'm going to be lynched for those who want to decipher what Calix's alignment is, I'm okay with that.
See you all in the afterlife.

That moment when Yuki makes the most sense out of everyone:
-unvote
Don't pet growlithe, he will bite you.
I am fine with a no lynch, but just to annoy her.
-vote Calix
I think she supports this more than a no lynch :P
Don't pet growlithe, he will bite you.
