I also find it weird that two players--one of whom had previously suspected him--declared that they would not vote for him.

Not everything's so black and white Robz. Do you even understand why I said I porbably wouldn't vote for him today?

I think I know roughly what I want to do. I'll check rules and things when I get home in about 4 hours and take my move then.

Ashersky and Jimmm - You two both voted Eevee earlier. There's now a wagon on him without your votes. How do you feel regarding Eevee now? More scummy? Less? If each of you accepts yourself to be town, then who out of the 5 other people to have voted Eevee - or Eevee himself - do you think is most likely scum?

I have a deliberate nullread on Eevee. When I have time (still at work) I will do a full re-read on him and see what I come up with.

Fwiw, especially mid part of the day this far, I think I've played MUCH like my town self. Like, having a bunch of town reads and no real scum reads and being suspected a lot certainly rings a bell.

Is thinking a lot about your Town meta scummy? I'm genuinely asking.

jimmm leading the town with most posts.. the new guy has become a veteran!

I'm doing my best. It'd be nice to come up with theories that people agree with though. I'll work on that.

To contribute a list, which would be helpful from everyone:

Would not lynch today: ashersky, Robz, liopoil, Yuma, munch, Galzria

Would lynch: raerae, mom salon, jimmmmm, Eevee

Fence: Cuzz, Dsell, sparky, theo, Glooble

Would and wouldn't are in order.

What stands out to me here is that you're on the fence on Dsell. The general opinion is that he's probably Town, but I don't think you've said anything about him. Do you agree?

Okay, I've had a weird feeling from mcmc all game, but haven't really been able to place it. I had a bit of a read of his only other game I and I think I know what it is now. Consider this post:

I can clarify my defensiveness right now. I'm 19 and playing a game with my brothers friends, something I have always wanted to do, I like my brother and his friends quite a bit. So if I think your misconstruing defensiveness as nervousness because i'm just that, nervous about being liked and accepted by all of you.

Even though he was scum in that game, I think this was pretty genuine.
Now bear in mind that if mcmc is Town this game, it is his first game as Town, in fact his first game for which he doesn't know the entire setup. I remember my first few games I was Town and got pretty overwhelmed because I just wanted to be right with my votes and lynches and anyone could be scum, anyone could be Town, who could I trust or listen to or who was trying to trick me? I'm just not seeing this with mcmc, and I would expect it even more from someone who has played before as scum, and who is putting pressure on himself to be liked. But he seems to be "reading" and suspecting and voting just as much as when he was scum.

So now that I've heard from him and we're voting more, I will Vote: mcmcsalot.

Jim I'm surprised to hear this from you, especiallynow that I've answered. To be clear, my vote for ashersky is the only vote I have made, I was very hesitant to vote as I expressed early on but I came to the understanding voting in normal mafia games was a backing up of your read. Also, my suspicion from you stems from the fact that I put a lot of faith in supporting your reads(interesting you use the words"who could trick me as I was yelled at by yuma I believe for saying you tried to trick me), after your case on eevee was blown up, I realized I cannot trust other peoples reads as much as I thought. Since then I have been posting all of my thoughts on players in complete and concise posts. I felt this was the best way to benefit town because more veteran players than me could use my thoughts to help find scum.

Point to where I tried to trick you. The first time I quoted Eevee's "contradiction", that was not a case, it was something I noticed and thought was strange and was looking for people's thoughts on. I then thought about it a lot more when I was offline, and came back to it was a case in my head. As I was typing it up, I noticed that the first one didn't mean exactly what I thought it meant, but instead of abandoning my case there and then I made a note of it and came back to it, as I said I would.

In terms of my thoughts on you, I'm not quite sure how to best explain it, but you're just striking me as a lot more similar to how you were in your first game than I would expect, and you're not striking me as a first-time Town player.

Okay. Sigh. I guess I have no choice. When I have time I will give Eevee a full re-read from as neutral a standpoint as I can and tell you what I think. For the record, I didn't do a 180, if anything I did a 90, from "I think I have a really good case" to "I guess it wasn't a good case after all, I just don't want to think about it any more." But you're right, being demoralised is not a good reason to give someone a free pass, so I will retract that, and do my best to contribute.

FYI I'm at work now, so I'll kind of be around, but might not be terribly active.

There are three people whose lynches I will almost definitely not be supporting today: Galz, Dsell and Eevee. Galz because he's Galz and he's busy. Dsell because he's probably Town and we need more evidence on him than we can probably get today. Eevee's probably from more of an emotional standpoint. I had this big case on him, and it kind of died, and I kind of just want to move on.

I'm in your corner with Eevee.  Not voting for him unless he does something awful.

I don't care for this absolving Eevee of all suspicion thing. Disagreeing with the earlier cases on him is one thing, but I really can't see how that translates into making him lynchproof D1. (I realize I'm exaggerating your positions a bit but hopefully people get my point)

Oh I'm sick of talking about Eevee. But I will gladly listen to any compelling case you have on him.

Be my guest.

I don't have a compelling case. But your complete 180 on Eevee is weird. You went from having a case against him, to saying "maybe this case is not so good," to suddenly saying you will almost definitely not support his lynch today. To me that kind of attitude should be reserved for someone you have a strong townread on, and I'm not sure where that comes from.

Eevee is a nullread for me now. I thought I had a really strong case on him, I just didn't see a world where Town Eevee would say both of those things. But then I realised I hadn't fully understood where he was coming from with one of them, but didn't think that totally destroyed my case. Then I thought about it more and a Town Eevee started making a lot more sense to me. Maybe I shouldn't go with what I feel like doing, but I just don't want to focus on Eevee any more today.

Let's say we forget about the whole situation with your earlier case on Eevee and throw it all away. You're still saying that you refuse to consider voting for someone today whom you do not have a townread on, and that's an anti-town attitude.

Okay sure. If a wagon starts on Eevee and people are making solid cases on him, and I buy them and think that he is our best lynch, I will vote for him. I just don't really see that happening and I probably won't be trying to start one unless he says something outrageous. I didn't mean to say I would refuse to vote for him.

Vote: Mom Salon for beating me in blitz.

Now to see if that actually works this game! (It doesn't in DS9.)

Whoa okay let's no default back to RVSing because yuma said we need to vote more. I think I'll hold on to my vote for the time being.

lio, why Robz? You accused him of being over-accusatory, getting on the lurkers' cases and talking a lot about the setup. You may not know this because you haven't played much, but all of those things are what Robz does, so I don't think there's a lot to the argument. Has he said anything in particular that you thought was scummy?

Eevee your voting for Cuzz seems strange. You seemed to sheep what I didn't think was that strong an argument by Galz, and later you said you had a noread on Cuzz, and that you buy his reasons for being silent. What about Cuzz makes you think he's scummy?

Just because he hasn't said much yet, but I don't think that outweighs the Town points he has. I just feel like before we get any extra information from flips, Dsell's part in this game will be defined by his first post.

8918
Vote: Eevee

Not posting first just doesn't feel like Town Eevee to me.

Seeing as there are a few RMMs in the works, I think now would be a good time for me to put my name down for one at some point in the distant future. I have some very new ideas (as in I came up with them last night), and I'd like a more experienced mod to have a look at them for me at some stage.
