I feel like large games occasionally have "D1 funk" all the way to ~D3.

While probably true, it's frustrating, and doesn't need to be true.  Hell, a Day 1 funk is bad and unnecessary too.

Town can win in a game with 0 power roles, and not by luck.  But it requires people to take stances.  6 out of 15 players (Ichi, Ghacob, Hydrad, EgorK, TA, mail-mi) don't have any votes down today at all.  I don't know why TA isn't on e, but he's at least taken stances on things.  Not so for the others. 

We only have 2 days left in the day.  Lurking is AMAZING for scum here, especially if e, TA, and I are all town.  Then it'll be like 3 mislynches and 3 night kills into the game and no one will have any reads on anyone else and scum will have never had to commit to an uncomfortable position or do anything that might link them to each other or endanger their partners.

So many of the active players are just caught up on e, (and I'm guilty of this too) that lynching e might just be what needs to happen to move us on.  It'll certainly make the end of D1 wagons more informative.  But I think e's town, and I'll be damned if I'm going to let us lynch town without at least making more town or scum commit to either lynching or not, no matter how informative.

And there needs to be a viable alternative.  My scumread on TA does depend on e and XP both having been town, basically.  But there are a bunch of people that don't have an opinion on that.  If we're going to treat it like Day 1, let's try a Day 1 level case:

Vote: Egork

Reasons in a bit.

Woah, that's bold.

I can't wait to hear your reasons.

+1.  I just signed on to say something very much along these lines.  While I think e is scum, if that wagon lets a bunch of people sit back without committing themselves, I also see that as very much a problem.

I think that e was framed in the night kill, and is therefore town. (Or at least not scum).

I am going to put my vote on vote: TA

I currently imagine mail-mi wearing a dark trenchcoat and a bowler hat, hunched over a bit, toothpick in his mouth, holding a gun in his pocket.  One bead of sweat trickling down his nose.

I think we have 7 people either not voting or the only ones on a wagon.  This is concerning to me, since it is the pattern we would get if both wagons were town.  The scum players can hang back and let town lynch itself.  If they were both scum, I'd expect a 3rd wagon to have developed some time ago.

People not voting/on wagons by themselves:

IG, Ghacob, Hydrad, EgorK, TA, WW, gkrieg

I'm not including chairs b/c he did vote recently and is waiting to hear UoS's case on egorK.

I'm staying on 2.7, but I do want to hear what UoS has to say about egorK.  It would be great to get reads lists from the 7 people mentioned above!

this feels odd.

why 2 town or 2 scum?

is it only those 2 options? or is town/scum possible also.

For anyone else, such a statement would be a scum tell.  For Hydrad, it's simply a tell that you're reading something from Hydrad.

I'm staying on TA, but I am concerned about the lack of activity. Then again, since no one is doing anything, scum doesn't feel motivated to do much either. TA has like, 4 votes on him? There could be worse pressure.

this is my fear. i have a scumread on e. but if he's town this is exactly how i'd expect d2 to play out. and it makes me want to lynch a lurker, esp one who jumped on either myself or e with flimsy reasoning. time to go see who that is

I think this plurality lynch is bad for town - it makes a lot less pressure on everyone to vote and take stances.

Of course, all three patterns are possible!  The current complacency could mean nothing at all, and we could have scum equally distributed among the voters and non-voters.  It's just striking, so it gives me pause is all. It's not enough to take me off e right now, but I think it's something to keep in mind.
