Scola:

You moved to Swowl late in the day, I’m assuming to consolidate votes for an Exile? Today, you’ve opened back up by returning to where your vote was before the switch (on Math). Barring any relevant new information, why do you think that exile has more of a chance of going through today than it did yesterday? I don’t really see you making any new arguments for it - or trying to bring up old arguments either.

Math:

Why did you vote Swowl today? You said you were willing to make the switch before deadline, but never did. Obviously your preferred exile of choice at the time was MiX, otherwise you wouldn’t have been there. Why have you switched to Swowl now, instead of trying to convince someone from his wagon to vote for MiX today?

Cool.

People I won’t Exile today: Mix, Scola, Awaclus
People we should Exile today: Swowl
People I could consider, but don’t think are the best options: mathdude, Gkrieg
People that I would need to see a REALLY good case for: EFHW, WCD

THREAD UNLOCKED

Day 1 begins now and will end at 2:30 pm ET on January 15th

It's literally Day 1 again.

It is. Which is definitely worth noticing.

Barring a given reason otherwise (and I'll re-read everybody's first posts here today in a bit), nothing has changed for me other than being frustrated with the no-exile.

Vote: Swowl

Kangaroo, Wagon are probably the safest two.

Bicycle seems the next most natural to me, as you’re likely to encounter roadkill, avoid roadkill, or potentially cause roadkill.

Fourth feels pretty open to me. Undertaker, certainly. Pit, possibly. Sticker, possibly. Bridge?, possibly.

People that tend to single out my low involvement early in the game are either scum or Faust generally.

Oy vey the problems with this post.

Actually:

Gkrieg, what was the reasoning for your MiX vote?

Mostly RVS. Partially him talking about nothing.

Can you specify the "nothing" that he was talking about?

Galz, why the Swowl vote?

Unexplained vote on Awaclus, which you will see as I list all of his points he's never brought back up again (or changed):

yoyo - Happy New Year!

set up talk in a game where you are explicitly told the mod "may not be able to be trusted" seems pointless. and I fucking love set up talk.

Vote: Awaclus

Nothing Post, not scum hunting in any meaningful way:

Vote: Awaclus

Why not just vote for joth then?

... what?

Answering for EFHW, not scum hunting in any meaningful way:
Slow starting game. Then again, we're just 9, but gkrieg hasn't showed up yet.


This is a bastard game. You can trust what the mod tells you to a point. But some things I say may not be entirely true. Or not true in the way you think they are.

Does this include role pms? What about win conditions?


Just thought about something: why didn't you just ask this in your QT?

its a BM with no set up info. no one that is town should be asking public info questions in their QT and not in the public thread.

The first (and only) post that might be considered scum hunting, but really it's just the start of his series of deflections from Scola - with no seeming goal of actually deciphering the alignment of either EFHW or MiX.
EFHW - what you find skummy about that?
Like also mix what do you find skummy about the response he had?

Could they of responded in a way that was not going to be skummy? Or was it just the fact that they responded?

Nothing Post - No scum hunting in any meaningful way:
I was going to vote MiX here, but I’m going to leave my vote on Scola for right now. I would also consider Datswan or Gkrieg at this point in time.

I’m like… 99% sure DatSwan is not in this game

And this is why I say his post asking EFHW & MiX about Scola wasn't actually scum hunting - because EFHW's response was met with the below, where there's no train of thought about how EFHW's response might say something about her alignment - instead, he's simply debating why he thinks she shouldn't find Scola scummy:
EFHW - what you find skummy about that?
Like also mix what do you find skummy about the response he had?

Could they of responded in a way that was not going to be skummy? Or was it just the fact that they responded?

It has the ring of a classic scum post - making generalizations about how they play and how town and scum play. Safe stuff, no commitments.

I'd vote him, but I don't want to put him at E-1 so early in the day.

do you disagree with anything he said?
he was answering a question right? all of it seems to check out to me.
There is no definitive answer, it is open ended, so I don't see not having commitments here skummy. Nor towny.


These were the 6 posts he's made, in total, prior to my vote. I feel like Swowl is actively posting, so that he cannot be called a lurker, but I don't feel like Swowl is actively engaged in finding scum.

His deflection from Scola makes Scola a slightly worse exile between the two - because scum!Swowl is more likely to do that to town!Scola than scum!Scola. And in the consideration of town!Swowl - Why would town!Swowl spend his time deflecting from unknown!Scola, while also spending no time at all scum hunting? Again... his vote is still currently on Awaclus from his first post of the day.

Ultimately, I feel like Swowl is posting to stay active, but is actively NOT scum hunting, which doesn't feel like town!Swowl.

I don't really have a take on glass, depends on how well known the fairytale is. I only vaguely remember having heard of it at all

The Glass Slipper would be from Cinderella, who left it at the Ball while running out as the clock struck midnight (changing her back into her normal appearance from being a Princess). The Prince then took the slipper and tried it on the feet of all the women in the land until he finally found Cinderella.

“Glass Slipper” is synonyms with “Cinderella”.

I think Glass is safest next - but if you both want Dance we can do that.

By Slipper, do you mean Crown?

Dwarf

Yes - my mind was clearly set on Glass 😂

I think Glass & Slipper are the next best two…

I think Apple is the strongest third, but dislike it because of their clue. Likewise, I feel the same about Dance.

ok then, vote: gkrieg. Mostly just drowning out the crickets. 9 players means we all have to be more active than usual.

I agree with this.

To clarify: I agree with EFHW's point - the vote I'm not yet sure on. Waiting for Gkrieg to come back and answer my question.

I didn't call it random, just pointless. And yes, I get the point is to see how people react. But I'd argue, that's not actually effective. It would be interesting to see some analysis on how well anyone's D1 reads actually are...

A very 1-dimensional outlook. You're only considering "how people react" as a direct influence on reads. But there's a lot more to the purpose of voting than that. It creates connections. Is scum!MiX more likely, or less likely, to put a vote down on a partner in early RVS phases? What about Awaclus, or anybody else? An RVS vote may not have any weight or reason, and the "reaction" it generates may not be all that valuable (especially D1) - but every vote says something about the person making it - They choose who for reasons that are very rarely random (or pointless).

I do hear you on potential slips of knowledge and had not completely thought of that - but those slips some times come from scum, too, no?

Possibly, maybe. But town has much less use for such information than scum does, as scum is actively looking for information to inform a pretty major decision during the night - therefore pursuing discourse that may positively influence that decision for scum is fairly bad for town.

i.e I think the point of either is just to encourage more chatter - and this is true for both town and scum. town trying to weed out scum, scum trying to learn town's roles. I'm not sure why one is actually better than the other. I'm just not of fun of picking someone and voting for them without at least a piece of reasoning.

Not all chatter is equal. Chatter that potentially makes alignment connections is more valuable than chatter that potentially reveals information. You even acknowledge as much in the bolded above: One IS clearly better than the other - so why pursue a line of conversation that is beneficial to scum?

Also, vote: swowl.

Scola, what does the Messi question mean?

Didds - Are you just curious, or do you hope to glean some alignment indicative information from this question?

What’s your read on Scola? What’s your read on the Scola wagon?

Do you think EFHW asking her MOD question in thread is alignment indicative? It seemed to ping MiX.
