i guess ppl dont really post when im on, so Ill just meet 10 posts a day and try to be on before EoD.
that being said, I do hope everyone plan on voting today, I personally think not voting doesnt help town at all.
ok goodnight
-vote Superjack
I am disappointed that nobody has commented on this tbh
Obviously PoD and Nightbringer are exempt but I was hoping for some engagement beyond "hello I'm here to make ten posts have some throwaway reads"
If I die please remember this post and consider this world
It fits entirely with the vote movements of PoD saying they don't want to kill a claimed Spartacus D1, sitting on a vanitiy wagon but then killing Brendan anyway after I tie Nightbringer.
Hey, thats not how it works!!!
yeah sure
If Brendan was wolf, then probably nobody on his wagon was wolf tbh. It would probably be SJ or somebody from the nightbringer wagon (even tho i like to think that nightbringer was W and Brendan was T and that that is how the EOD played out...)
If Brendan was town, i think it could be anybody... but the nightbringer Wagon, thats where the cool kids are <3
Yeah all those wifom wagonomics what ifs are making me dizzy... I dont like flipless
Hii, thank You for the ... words (are they kind? im not sure... you flip flopped all over me , my reads are really this poor? )
anyways, the second thing you asked from the reads was the following, i pointed it out directly at sod1, and now i will reconstruct it from my memory
at the beginning of the day, Nightbringer scumread You for some random, non-important reason (afterall, its an early d1 read, nothing bad here...)
then - You came in, and scumread or sussed Nightbringer too, for some strange random reason i dont remember.
and then - BOOM - Nightbringer 180'ed the read on MM making him his close to strongest townie... tf??
This really felt like Nightbringer probing the thread and then deciding to pocket MM instead of making him the MisLim of the day ngl, especially since Nightbringer is new here
yeah thats it. gonna keep on reading up now =)
Praise the Lord!
That said I do think SuperJack is the right kill today
They make the most sense as a partner for w!Brendan and those reads are sorely lacking
Oliver is much too light-hearted to have just lost a partner
Ewian has grown on me today, I think backing off and giving him space was the right call
Marshall on the other hand is much less towny than yesterday but not to the point that I'd want to consider voting him
PoD still has the towniest posts out of everyone
and Nightbringer sits in Schrödinger's slot where they're either the powerwolf leading us all by the nose or our greatest asset
(the nightbringer can be seen in the background silently guesturing ferociously)
Hi! Glad you came back!
I have said I found your reads lacking and these two are good examples.
Wolves are generally more than willing to talk about their NKs, in fact they often make kills just to be able to steer the narrative. MM hasn't been posting a lot, in fact he's not even made post minimum yet today.
Please could you iso them (or anyone) and make reads on what they've actually done this game.
My time is up. I accept your surrender SJ.
I have played with Gikkle before, and while he definetly is a good player, I don't think he's scary to the point he should be murdered ASAP even though he did basically nothing of note and hasn't accumulated any real townreads (as far as I could tell on D1, at least).
Honestly, this seems fair to me. (No offense meant to you, Gikkle, you're great! Just not this game and it's not even really your fault, you were temporarily busy xD)
I still kinda like PoD. As for your theory that the Gikkle kill was a fearkill on a non-towny slot, I'm not convinced.
Also, regarding Oliver, I think it's worth noting that his alignment is very much tied to Brendan's. If Brendan was scum, Oliver gets really quite suspicious due to EoD1. If Brendan was town, Oliver is probably just town (it would have been the go-to play to lynch town!Brendan from a scum!Oliver perspective here, he literally didn't have to say anything because we already made the case for him). Because, as I said, we should play under the assumption that we are still facing 2 scum in order to avoid having bad surprises, I wouldn't want to lynch Oliver today. Assuming we don't flip the Legionnaire and we're getting to the lategame, though, Oliver would have little going for him (and quite a lot against him).
I think i somewhat like him (as a player from the t/w perspective, not as a person xD )
Havent seen much memorable, so i decided to iso
Some positive points:
- Called out Brendan, was also one of the first to vote him (thats positive ig? if we assume Brendan w?)
its quite some nothin burgers stuff ngl
Yeah other than that he aint really towny at all =0
so its really light town almost even light scum...
Please Ewian, put on the solving googles we want to see more from You!!!
You arent really towny right now!!!
Praise the Lord!
It would be really funny to apply the meta that every time oli doesn't tr me hes town.
but I won't
actually post #261 I like of oliver compared to last game I play with them, where they are more lurky. I wouldn't completely avoid a s! oli scenario but I think that post is favorable for T!oli considering hes actually providing thoughts this game
I write lore
Even if Brendan was town, you could still easily be the off-wagon wolf with your partner voting him. That would be a fairly common positioning for wolves D1.
You're refusing to give in-depth reads and are here at EoD, pretty much lolcatting. What do you expect to accomplish like this?
@Marshmallow Marshall @oliverz144
You're both sitting on 9 posts and this is making me nervous
Ewian I'm sorry but I'm going to hammer early so Marshall doesn't die as well
-vote SuperJack
SuperJack has been hammered. Stand by for the host's review and day-end post!
SuperJack (4 [L-0]): The Nightbringer, Marshmallow Marshall, powerofdeath, Taffy
All votes appear to be correct and intended.
@SuperJack flips Rebel Slave.
Night 2 ends in ~24 hours, just like normal.
Addendums:
I am not going to modkill @Marshmallow Marshall for two reasons.
1. Some of the inactivity on Day 2 may have been contributed to by me. Earlier in my announcements I noted that I would @everyone upon a new SoD. This did not happen for SoD2, and as such I broke an implicit promise even if the ultimate responsibility for activity lies on the players. For example, SJ could have become active sooner since they apparently forgot about the game.
2. One of the spectators for the game reached out to me and made an appeal that players could have intentionally aimed for the 10 post minimum and could have simply miscounted. Which, I will admit, is perhaps a bit lame to modkill over. HOWEVER, I strongly advise everyone to not employ tip-toeing the line on the rules as a strategy. Next time I see a 9 out of 10 post count, it is an unrelenting modkill. If you tip-toe the line and make a mistake, that is on you for choosing to tip-toe the line. The requirements for a post to count is extremely lax -- it could be fluff for all I care. So it should in theory be very difficult to mess up. No excuses.
Edit: Added "to modkill over"

A.K.A "That One Idiot"
Day 3 begins! EoD is in ~48 hours.
@The Nightbringer has died. They were Rebel Slave.
Addendums:
1. All spectators are viewing the game uninformed. I realize speculation (i.e. angle-shooting) regarding the lack of modkill yesterday is unavoidable, since I took an action not prescribed earlier during signups, so I'm not going to moderate people if they end up discussing it. That said, I am going to be quite disappointed if the game devolves into discussing solely that.
2. Someone asked if MYLO/LYLO is announced. It is not -- otherwise that would have given the game more avenues (or predisposed the game to head in certain directions) for negating the impact of the Spartacus/Loyalist roles.
3 votes to hammer.

Do we think mass claims are necessary today?
ewianking
Marshmallow Marshall
Oliverz144
powerofdeath
Taffy
Here's why I think massclaiming is a good idea.
Scenario 1: Only 1 Spartacus claimed. This mean brendan was town. We will basically let that spartacus decide the vote for today. If correct, mafia will probably kill the last spartacus and we will go to 3p endgame. I'm okay with this because I definitely want to avoid a 4p no clear endgame.
Scenario 2: 2 Spartacus claimed. Brendan was town. We absolutely have to find the fake slave and lynch the Legionaire. Whichever slave(s) are still alive by tomorrow are 100% clear and will be the deciding vote(s) on which Spartacus claim is fake.
Scenario 3: 2 Spartacus claimed. Brendan was mafia. We probably will waste today voting out a slave claim. Whichever slaves are alive by tomorrow basically have 50-50 chance on deciding which spartacus is real or fake.

This post REEKS. The first sentence is some kind of "airplane perspective" on the game, like Ewian is not really involved in his own reads in "first person mode", but is rather contemplating the game state and picking what he's going to say. A townie trying to solve will not have this perspective and this tone.
Note: I first noticed the tone/style here because I recognized a scummy pattern (i.e. a way of behaving some scums have, not so much on this site as on foreign, larger ones), and tried to make sense out of it; this is probably the best way to explain it.
I rather have us all claiming first than start voting
I did not even notice I was under the 10 posts mark. I've been trying to make my posts as meaningful as possible and to avoid spamming, but I guess I've done it a little too much lol. My internet also happens to have died on me in the middle of a reply I was making to some of Ewian's posts, reply I do not even remember now, so I assume it wasn't too important...
I don't know if I should thank you or not for this xD
I guess there isn't that much to read into, considering it's about strict rule stuff.
Also, regarding SJ lynch: I have no regrets and believe SJ is the one who should have some. He had committed the heinous crime of not being towny.
Mafia also one again chose a horrible kill. Killing the only person that claimed(a slave as well). As result of their night kills, all scenarios now lead to some kind of endgame with 100% clear towns or 3p with no clears. Mafia shouldve holstered kills(I even hinted on day 1 about it) and we could be in a scenario where town was stuck in 6 and 4 ppl with no clears with less odds to vote correctly. This is why I thought Gikkle was a horrible kill. Mafia feared gikkle so much that they rather have odd # of players than having gikkle alive.
I am well aware. However, I happen to believe Ewian is nearly always scum here if there are indeed 2 mafia alive. Here's why
- Oliver is either scum with Brendan or just town. This was already explained yesterday, but the gist of it is that scum!Oliver had a perfect occasion to get rid of town!Brendan and chose not to.
- You are towny. This is the less safe bet I'm making, but I simply do not believe you are scum; you were towny yesterday. I also fail to see with whom you coul be paired.
- I am town (mentioning for the sake of my PoE)
This leaves Ewian and Taffy for the 2 scum alive world. If we live in a two scum alive world and I'm actually wrong on the above, then the game is already over in my opinion, so I'm basically choosing to scratch that world and accept defeat if we live in it; this kind of heuristic has always paid off whenever I've applied it, because it makes life much more simple.
Furthermore, in a 2-scum world, Taffy would be the one who could maybe convince me they're town, as they didn't give me any massive red flags in the USSR fashion. However, they haven't given me any significant green ones either (I did like some stuff, but in retrospect, it really didn't mean much), so they're just in there by PoE in a 2-scum world, basically.
In a 1-scum world, it's really probably just Oliver, but in such a world, this is not MYLO yet, meaning we can afford it.
