Murder By The Book - Ender's Game

Pointing out that you won't make the joke is exactly the same as making the joke, Samuel Alito

I'm more comfortable with a Garu lynch than a Solaris one since at least the latter has said enough that we'll have something to look back on as the game progresses and form opinions about. I still feel like I wouldn't make the same assumptions you would in your position, but you also don't really have time to waffle given the whole going-to-die thing. Makes sense, and you're at least mostly right even if the details may or may not be off. I'd buy it.

Actually, uh... I'm doing a reread right now so I can add more things that don't relate to anything I was involved in yesterday and this one stuck out at me:

cyber, kumu, maybe pala and nova and nola are all scumspecty to me rn i forgot to say

Maybe I'm more okay with a Solaris lynch than I thought. Cyber we know is not-mafia, Akumu I suspect is not-mafia, and despite being irritated with the consistent suspicion on me for reasons I'd consider unwise or misleading (still looking at you Amosgreen) I'm becoming less and less actually suspicious of Palamedes and Nova as the day goes on, since many of the reasons they and Mirdini put forward for suspecting me are comparatively reasonable and logical coming from someone with no knowledge of my identity (ie town or third parties) (in before this is me losing my conviction because I'm scum and don't want to push an unpopular lynch). If I assume that all of those people are town, then Solaris's soft suggestion (without backing beyond Nova voted based on an OMGUS) that they all be looked at is pretty believable as scum nudging town towards town. Coupled with the fact that he was on the No Lynch train, which from a purely gameplay perspective is generally... not great, the more I read back the less I like him. Too much empty mechanics speculation, too. Also holy wow Schazer really does a lot of amiable agreeing witxh me, more than I remember plus also mechanicsmusing. And meta-argument. Hmm.

Friggin' a, the more I re-reread the less I like most of my suspicions. I mean, I still want to bop anyone who said I "pushed hard" for a no lynch when my entire contribution there was two (or three, I forget) posts saying why I vote no lynch on day one on principle and at no point encouraging other people to join me, but most of the rest of what I've been running on has been splash suspicion from Granola and conflating arguments. Also I just found this, which strikes me as weird:

SpoilerShow

Granola's response, above, was kind of odd as well. Basically it seemed much too vehement a reply against a casual suggestion that you guys may be together. And yeah, the fact that Sotek jumped from you to Eberron, then you started voting Eberron, seems more than just a coincidence.

And I honestly wouldn't count out the option that Sotek was hyperbussing you D1 when it was the least likely to actually go through, so it would seem like the two of you aren't aligned. His "case" on you was kind of really weak after all, having happened during RVS based on one post, then like 3 or 4 posts after that continuing to point him out then complaining about not enough people voting him. I'm still trying to understand WHY he voted Granola in the first place, but it's laden with RPing. (see this is why you don't RP in mafia games) It appears to be based on the ethics of no-lynching? Either way, Granola's post didn't look too scummy, or at least not scummy enough to warrant a day-long tunneling, ignoring the current circumstances up until today.

I am going to vote: Sotek for being the most likely scum out of the pair.

Annnnd this:

Still really annoyed by people pushing very hard for an eberron lynch, but I will admit he does look kind of scummy right now, from kind of flip-flopping between convictions. My vibe is telling me that he's town, trying his best to cover for his early mistakes. I feel like everyone pushing for eberron is trying too hard to have a lynch today, though whether it's a mislynch or an information lynch probably depends on the person voting. Honestly, eberron is the ULTRA PRIME #1 info lynch, because of the ridiculous number of people attacking or supporting him, so even then, there's not much to go on, at least until Eberron flips, if he does get lynched/killed.

eberron - 2 (Sotek, Granolaman)

'everyone'

Heck, I don't even know anymore. Let's kill 'em both ('em being Sol and Garu here, not Garu and Seedy (whom I still feel safe about)). Ugh, look at all this no-commitment no-reasoning doubt:

SpoilerShow

dont like truegreen for completly deciding slorange is impossible,

think garu is a bit meh overall, with his one note post and his grrr at the tek who imo would be pretty easy to mislynch (neautral on him rn tho)

gnauga started off hrm but got pretty good imo

dont really like pala

nola is all over the place he might be a third party if those are even in this game

still dont really like akumu but its lessening

i think that if we are going to go after an active player either granola or truegreen are our best bets, the former for his hard boner on people and the latter for being overly weird and super dedicated to having slorange be wrong

if we are going for a lurker id say bigros posts make him sort of unpleasant but pbbt???

nova has made a commendable effort but i dont like the reliance on the past esp since i havent played this game fo realz yo in ages

So, uh... I guess here's a revised list of my scumspects (in approximate order of would-see-lynched):

Solaris
Garuru
Schazer more than ever (and see how I feel about Gnauga after her flip)
Truegreen still but not as much
Chwoka who is largely silent and hides behind "Oh I am just a newbie I guess I can't help" too much when he is around

I would be more than happy with any of those. I'm reluctantly positing a town read on the following players, in no particular order:

Mirdini
Seedy
Nova
Akumu
Palamedes maaaybe
Me still, I am great

That was more stream of consciousness and longer than I intended it to be when I started but v0v

At least when I end up dead in I'm estimating three days, it'll be something to look at.
