Also, it's not a policy vote. If it was, I would have clearly stated it s such. I would have asked others to vote too if scola didn't show up by X time. As I said, it's just a "gentle prod".

We vote to prod all the time, so I'm confused by gkrieg's reaction. However, it is not felt as a gentle prod. More like an energetic one.

Why did you vote for scola specifically. Or would you have voted for anyone in their position, like you have a policy that you vote for people who haven’t participated in a game at all at a certain point?

Eh, probably not worth arguing over whether it was policy or not. I just think it jumped too quickly on the “I can do something that other people do all the time so that I fit in and look townie”. I also disagree that it is RVS if you had a valid reason to vote for someone.

Gkrieg feels off so far this game.  Too quiet.  /randomgutread

There has been a lot of posts, but I would argue not as much content as people seem to think.  The MiX/Math thing feels completely contrived in the worst way possible, so that's a strong early combo.

2.7 is town, I think.

Because I’m usually soooo loud D1.

Hi all. Sorry for the late catchup; it's been a little busy... Will go back and reread things at some point later.

One thing I noticed, MiX, when did mathdude say they switched characters? Did I miss that.

For the record, I switched. I wasn't sure what it'd be like to be what seemed to be a Cylon (my flavor was a number) as town aligned for season 2 (or if scum, have a huge target). That said, now I'm not so sure - did anyone else notice the flavor text? It reads from the point of view of Cylons, no? Not sure how to interpret that.

Well, the cylons did win. And unlike the previous game, they don't seem to be the bad guys.

I went back and read Jack's S1.  Very minimal, but doesn't feel "lurky" scum as much as "tentative not really sure how to interact" scum.  Which I guess is how you could define lurking. How many other games have you been in Jack? Would love to see more thoughts on stuff this here in S2 than in S1


Still not a fan of how quickly Jack decided to claim as a defense - 2 votes in RVS is nothing. But is it scummy? I am going to leave my vote there for now.

One other game, as a replacement for a Mafioso who had gone AWOL. I didn't last very long.

I feel it's also important to note, Jack was scum in season one of this, and he was very much new!scum who didn't know how to interact, and rapidly offering up info is something completely opposite of what I saw as his partner in that round. Like, we were constantly trying to get him to share his thoughts and opinions and fake reads, anything, but it turned out that just playing the "I'm new and have no idea what to do to even say anything" worked out for him (and the scum team as a whole). Given that context, and that he subbed in as mafia for his second game ever, in which he still felt very similar to his first game, this feels a lot more like new town that is excited to have something they can say truthfully without having to worry about lying.

Yeah, this is my current Jack read, as well.

But does town Jack just share role stuff so early with what really was almost no pressure? Maybe, I guess. But I think it’s strange.

Hi Scola! Glad you could make it.  Dylan! I love weddings, I hope it’s super fun and that the cake is delicious. Please report back. MiXy, I’m the everybuddy!

I did not switch people because Starbuck is the best nickname of any character ever.

Hmmmm….okay, yeah. I guess we haven’t seen town Jack yet. Or even just more active Jack. So, hard to know. But I think I’m maybe agreeing with you.

It does seem like it isn't humans vs. cylons this season. Does anyone who knows the flavor have an idea of who town and scum might represent? I have reason to believe it's not military vs. civilian, assuming that I haven't been given a personal arc that is impossible to achieve.

I will neither confirm nor deny whether I followed through with that switch in my QT. I'm not sure at the moment if it's helpful.

unvote

If I had to vote today, I'd be okay putting a vote on MiX, ADK, LL, or gkrieg at the moment. But I'm glad we still have time, as those are just gut feelings for now.

I'm happy with the arguments made for town!Jack for now, even though claiming that early does not look townie to me.

The following executive order has been enacted:
Quote
Vigil
Tonight, all player who control the same player they did the previous game may use an active power they had in that game instead of their current powers. Powers with limited shots may only be used if the shots have not yet been used up.

I didn't try to reason with ash, and I bet he didn't try to reason with me either.

Last time I decided to get opinions publicly it backfired so now I decided to trust ash more than the thread.

Also, no one actually answered my initial question of how open I should be.
