In my opinion, the game essentially starts on post 343. Some bad luck voting out the smuggler, but that’s the game. Oling_Roachinen got the spore, and then gave it to GirlySports. I say we investigate Girly and Oling_Roachinen later. It’s too risky from Oling’s point of view to be bluffing… like he said – that’s unnecessary attention as he was relatively safe prior to the confession.
16 alive. Bolded (50% chance for italics) are scum : devo22, Timbo, bizaro86, squiggs96, Puxlut, GGG, Peanut, Party Elephant, SebC, Lego Man, mrkajz44, East Coast Flame, Hockeyguy15, GirlySports, Oling_Roachinen, dissentowner
GirlySports: reacts immediately, in a townish manner to aS hint. Afterwards, admits to having no other ideas before Day1 lynch which is fair. However, I fully endorsed Oling_Roachinen against her as he reminisces on past times - until her defensive arguments. I’m buying what she’s selling. Her reaction would have been differently if she did indeed turn. +1 town
Timbo: rather than follow up on activeStick hint, he questions (and pressures) him by saying “active stick do you not have any suspicions on anyone?” – thereby attempting to shift attention away from the hint and possibly attempting to distract the town. If aS came back to defend himself, I think the waters would have been mudded for the Day2 to an even greater extend. We probably would have voted out Girly and no one. Either would help in Timbos cause to convince us he is town. NOW, he’s using the confusion created by Girly and Oling as a means to eliminate both of them, helping scums cause. Once they flip town, he can say it was 50/50 a wrong hunch. And Timbo keeps planting seeds of doubt that Oling is turned. Only downside… he is participating like a town member… it’s tough to sift through it all. +1 cum
SebC: reacts immediately in a townish manner to activeStick hint and subsequently votes for GirlySports. Does not jump on the activeStick vote train. Don’t know what to think about cryptic post. Also, we know he’s not dumb because of the newsflash. Then proceeds to vote and unvote for GirlySports in less than a minute, somewhat contradicting the newsflash. +1 town
Peanut: Pregnant. How can scum be pregnant? +67 town (hopefully this strategy doesn’t come back to haunt me)
Hockeyguy15: Plays the game how it should be played… but powerful posters are inherently dangerous to our cause. If he’s town, Scum will pass the spore to him sooner rather than later and we lose our MVP. If he is scum (and Flying Spaghetti Monster help us all if that’s the case), I can’t imagine the thread trending towards voting him off until the very end. Still, I think he is town. +1.1 town, -1 scum.
PartyElephant: As they say here in Poland: a newbek. Classic newbie. Newb. Or is that the perfect cover? I don’t agree with her (I hope) theory a few posts above.
GGG: Generally, contributes simple yet effective posts to help the odds of the town succeeding. Suspicious of PartyElephant… I can probably jump on board with him on that. Even if he is scum… helpful to our cause. Entirely agree with him on post #504. +1 town
Oling_Roachinen: Admitted to getting spore, which moves the likelihood that he’s town to ultrahigh… unless it’s a super ultra-bluff of the century and he did turn but is telling the truth about whom he passed it on to. Also was willing to change vote to SebC which is par for the course apparently.
Squiggs96: There are posts with generally useful thoughts, but I’m not sure what to make of them. Probably town.
Puxlut: Why keep bringing up the LegoMan? 90% of the first day posts are fluff and I said what I had to say. It’s pretty clear that’s not how a scum member would go about it. I get the sense that all the other town members recognize I am town and will deal with me later if my posting style begins to decrease our odds at winning the game. As it stands, keeping a useless town member in is smarter than lynching one out. It benefits scum to get rid of the obvious town members from the outset. At the very least, something to think about later on. +1 town, -1 scum for getting rid of low poster/town member early.
EastCoastFlame: Suspicious of SebC, but leans towards activeStick… then mentions “although Looking at the people that have voted for Girly....Lego, Party, Elephany and Active...that’s not a great group to associate with”… or is it?
devo22: It grinds my gears when people post “well ... that wasn't exactly the start we had hoped for” and that post count will be used as an example against my low post count. SOOO HELPFUL. (not a personal jab at you devo22, just a bitter about Day1 lol). Back on topic, the aggravation towards SebC is funny and provides me with confidence that he is town.
dissentowner: No opinions as of yet. Might be the posting style is neutral or something. Idono.
mrkajz44: absent since post 343, maybe scum
bizaro86: absent since post 343 (I think), maybe scum
For all you post count Nazis: notice how I didn’t separate my thoughts into numerous posts. This should make up for Day 1.
Thoughts. How many scum participated in the votes for aS and GirlySports? Did Timbo and EastCoastFlame vote for aS?
Vote: Timbo
