So, Reggie.
My first point is a BIG stretch. But he's insanely helpful early game. Like, way way too helpful. More than seems natural. He might just be a super nice guy. Or he might be grabbing for town points.
First point of note:
Hey, let's try something along the lines of a mass claim. Don't claim your time, since that gives scum an idea of whom they should kill. Only claim your alignment. That way, we'll know who the mafia are.
I'll start. I'm town.
Again, I'm not clearing him all game.
I most likely am.
The jokey idea about everyone claiming alignment is all well and fine but then he actually does it. Is he actually trying to get people to all say "I'm town" one after the other? That looks like an attempt at distracting town.
Decides to clear Cron for the whole game. Well, eh. Cron was town, but still - given what we had, not sure this was towny. Cron's weird thing was, like, totally null - and scum like to have reasons for their tendency to give out too many townreads.
Hey, let's try something along the lines of a mass claim.
I'll start. I'm town.
vote: J Reggie
Nice to know my vote is in the right place.
A bad response to a not-entirely unreasonable vote from Seprix.
It wasn't meant to block discussion. It made more discussion. It led to people having actual reads on other people. Obviously I don't think actually doing it is a good idea, bit the way people reacted to the suggestion can be telling.
Nyeh. Weeeeeaaaakkkkk.
I read about my character and I am apparently known for duck hunting a certain someone.
So, uh, Vote: Cellovix I guess?
It's the flavorful thing to do.
So without looking this up, I'm going to analyze it. It's a soft flavor claim. That means the flavor is probably more likely to be town than scum. So the obvious thing to think is that ii is town. But keep in mind scum are often given fake flavor claims, and might want to use them in this way to make people think they're town. So I feel like this post points to ii being scum. vote: ii
I'm skimming and already disappointed at how much information is being handed out to scum.
Eh, I've only handed out information that I don't think is useful to scum. Or have I?
This is a scummy post. The reasons for the ii vote are really weak and awful. II is clearly just enjoying the flavour - why jump on this?
The final sentence is awful.
At this point it's more of a gut feeling than anything, but my early gut reads in Sherlock were right (that the was scum between you and ADK, and that Teproc was scum). So I'm not setting anything in stone but I'm on the lookout.
Translation: hedgety hedgety hedge hedge.
So I did a quick reread of RR (since he's first on the list) and realized I missed the whole softclaim thing. RR tends to be more excited about claims when he's scum, so I could see a vote: rr. But that's not final.
Also RR, I do hope the link in your signature is a joke.
Terrible vote on a towny player.
Then, having started the wagon, he hops off it to look better later:
I go to the zoo then I'm basically lynched.
Gkrieg gave me an extension on my action, I had until that Friday.
You know what, I'm willing to believe this. I'll unvote for now.
I mean, he was voting RR for other supposed reasons before he revoted him for the action nonsense. This is not a good reason to unvote.
Then the Jan wagon starts up, and lo-and-behold:
I just realized something else. RR has claimed rolecop. We've been theorising that scum has the power to steal people's powers when they kill. WE DON'T WANT SCUM TO HAVE THIS POWERFUL OF A ROLECOP POWER. Therefore, I propose that we lynch RR now. If he flips town rolecop, we lynch Jan tomorrow. If he flips scum or not a rolecop, we leave Jan alone. This way, we get the info we need without giving scum the rolecop power.
vote: RR. What do people think?
Eventually he moves his vote to Seprix when the RR wagon doesn't reach a lynch, and is still there when we lynch Jan.
I shall start leading now.
Seprix is off the table for today.
faust is a suspect. As is the Seprix wagon, i.e. Cron, JReggie, and fontisian. We should probably lynch among those.
"One of my partners was lynched already. Let's kill everyone who suspected my other partner. "
OMGUS on a now-conf!towny.
He pushes faust early on D2, for not-very-good reasons. faust's D1 play was pretty towny, and included being on the Jan wagon, which ironically Reggie tries to paint as a bad thing. I get that he's trying to say faust might be bussing, but still.
Not knowing faust's alignment it's difficult to know what to take from this.
This whole interaction isn't very nice:
There is some information that might be good to share for me, but... well, I would really prefer to talk to someone with flavor knowledge first.
http://heroes.wikia.com/wiki/Heroes_Wiki
Ask away.
I know there's a wiki, and I read it, but I didn't get anything conclusive from it unfortunately. Do you know more or are you just snarky?
I'm just snarky. Sorry, I didn't know if it would have occurred to you to check the wiki.
and clashes massively with his earlier super-helpful play.
This
this is weird, but since it's about claim, I guess we're not supposed to get it.
Right now I'd like to lynch J Reggie... or if not faust or maybe iguana.
I'm really that scummy?
I could maybe say is AtE. Bit of a stretch maybe.
OK now this:
So in response to Faust about why I targeted who I targeted: I targeted teamlyle because he's new and might slip up as scum. I targeted haddock because I found him towny and didn't think he would die.
I asked Jan if he knew my flavor because that would out him and teamlyle as scum, and it's fishy that the horn rimmed glasses thing referred to me, but I think teamlyle is town so whatevs.
To Faust: I tried to start off D1 with a joking attitude and keep a high profile. I then was more carefree with my cases and reads, such as the one on ii that everyone hated. I was trying to be scummy enough that I wouldn't get NK'd before I used my second power but towny enough so I wouldn't get lynched. I obviously failed on the second part.
So that's where my thoughts are at. I actually think a fontisian wagon is a great idea here. In case I'm not already voting her, vote: fontisian.
So, lots of other things - and then a fonti vote out of nowhere without explanation? Huh?
Eventually we get to this:
I'm going to go with my conscience and vote: Faust.
which takes ii from L-1 to a 4/3 situation of ii/faust. I think without this vote change the nightmare at the end of that day would never have happened. Bad.
The next thing of real significance is this:
Ok, I really need to claim. My one-shot ability was to learn who everyone in my neighborhood targeted since the beginning of the game. I don't know who targeted whom, just a list of people that have been targeted by the people in my neighborhood. One of those is Faust, whom ehfw has claimed to have targeted.
The other three are RR, cron, and Seprix. This leads me to believe that someone in my neighborhood is scum, and I think that someone is Haddock.
vote: haddock.
I've already commented on how insanely convenient this claim is.
Gonna stop the read/case here since I'm tired and everything else has probably been discussed enough recently.
