Reread thoughts. I don't really know what I'm looking for.
I'm here!
A few things:
1) For once, I'm thinking along the same lines as RR: Is there actually a scum faction in this game or is it survival and us just thinking there might be scum?
2) Faust's play seems so out there that I see it very unlikely to be scum. I'm giving big town points, for now. If evidence surfaces later that he may be pulling a quick one, I'll reconsider.
3) Select: Lock --- Easily the best choice for now until proven otherwise... if negative shenanigans occur (which I'm guessing we'll be able to see in the flavor), we can reconsider using that power in the future. I would also be okay with CtP but think doing both lock and CtP is kind of redundant.
Quick town assignments is generally a scum trait. Hedging too. Has Amph ever been scum?
I've been so interested in the setup that I haven't been scum hunting yet. I'll do some reading on that today
Well, that's a bit overt. This was kind of the case for everyone in the early game.
General setup talk follows.
Back from patrol, woot!
At a conference for 4 days, so low on activity right now, sorry!
I'll admit to being completely distracted by setup at this point. I have little to no actual reads on anyone, but the fact that e is not alive is... ??
Unless that was already covered and I somehow missed it (which has happened before).

Sorry about the wreck, chairs
Again preemptive excuses for not having reads.
I'm on an ipad, which i hate using, which means im dumb since there is a perfectly acceptable laptop literally right next to me. so, Im kind of like rereading in little segments and stopping when i have something to say.
next thing to say: i am okay with the chairs wagon. faust said something about his posts feeling forced, and i was already feeling that by the time i got there.
also, faust is probably town here. he reads very town!faust. last 2 games i read him successfully as scum then town. however, im not a big fan of his thingy about not voting for him. im leaving open the possibility hes scum
Reenforcing hedged townread on Faust.
Day 1 scum reads:
Probably because I'm semi-lurky.
Scummy, in no particular order:
e
RR
SirMartin
That's basically Day 1. Doesn't vote the entire Day, I think, but he was on Patrol , and things didn't really get started before then. I didn't really think about it before how going on patrol is a convenient way for scum to do a classic 'hide under the radar thing'.
Day 2, so here's that softclaim:
1. gk feels town after his wanting to talk about day actions post
2. faust does not feel as town as he did before, but if he can kill zombies, that's cool
3. anyone have any idea what "vet" means?
4. If people are getting bit even when we check the perimeter, what good is that?
Votes Hydrad at my proposal of testing our voting abilities:
Okay, I'll play along with the "vote for everyone" game...
Vote: Hydrad
Also, we should lock e, correct? Assuming he's a zombie? Orrrrrr?
Some more setup/action talk.
It did make me wonder if there's a role that doesn't like days.
But really, we're not getting information on who people are when they die, so speculation of that sort is... meh at best.
You're welcome to discuss other points that you think are more important!
It was mostly a comment on my own speculation not being of much use
Things that are important to me:
1) Is e a zombie? If so, we should shoot him. He's not saying anything about this.
2) Let's not CtP - it did jack for us yesterday.
3) Townies in order of confidence: gk, faust, RR (weak read)
4) Still worried about splitting up - it seems too good to be true and I still think there's a scum role that can take advantage of it.
RR switches from scum to town, some town reads (ADK) have fallen off since Day 1; gkrieg moves up, Faust is consistent. Generally a townie thing, seems like reads are genuinely changing.
Seems convinced e is a Walker:
Man.
Lock: e
This is why I'm pretty sure he's a zombie.
At this point, I didn't really believe walkers were actual players. There were generally conflicting ideas about this.
Combining that with what I know, I'm pretty sure our lynch today should fall in here: EFHW, SirMartin, ADK.
That is assuming that Faust can both kill e and himself tomorrow.
If not, perhaps he can kill e, turn, and we shoot him.
We really should have lock-killed e though today...
ADK moving around more, from not town to lynch. EFHW on lynch list from out of nowhere, a bit scummy given EFHW flipped scum. Martin still on the lynchable list from day 1.
The thought crossed my mind that he is a zombie baby. But if that's the case, he's not exactly threatening
Getting all the calls right on the zombies, it seems.
Points out a few times that we should be scum hunting and not worrying about zombies/setup:
I see what you're saying EFHW, but when Yuma was alive as a human, we lynched him, killing his humanness. To me, a lynch is a kill, so if we lynch a zombie we will naturally kill the zombie the in only way we can.
That said, I still would rather go somewhere else.
PPE: How'd someone get bit in the first place? We're focusing too much on zombies here instead of trying to find scum. But I'm starting to sound like a broken record.
Points against EFHW:
I think it's worth noting I'm getting big scum vibes from EFHW through this whole thing.
Not because of the effort you're putting in (which is appreciated), but more the way you're going about it. I can't quite put my finger on it but I want this on the record. There is always the possibility that it's because we have never played in the same game before
Votes EFHW:
Unless you've got information the rest of us aren't privy to, how do you know zombies won't die from a lynch? We've never explored that territory. I feel as though you're getting caught up on assumptions, something Ash specifically encouraged us not to do
Additionally, whether intentional or not, you're putting words in my mouth by saying I want people to lynch him. If I wanted e lynched I would have voted him already. The quote you quoted me in even said I'd rather vote elsewhere...
So, I suppose I'll make good on it...
Vote: EFHW
And vote stays there through Day 2. e ends up getting lynched, to little effect. I think his only votes were on Others.
