apologies everyone.
I had a uhm... an issue with flies in my house today. I was 100% sure I could handle it.. and uh... I was wrong... the flies won.

Fun fact. Flies can make like nests or something in shower drains, and if you piss them off... they just like... swarm. So yeah, that's been my day.

Ah, it has begun!

It's good to catch that there are no third parties, I missed that because it was weirdly under "bastard" mechanics?

Is Swowl more likely town or scum for pointing this out?
It is, unfortunately, perfectly Swowl-neutral in my mind

Is Swowl more likely town or scum for pointing this out?

Are you more likely town or scum for wondering this?

Vote: faust
It is, unfortunately, perfectly faust-neutral in my mind

Hi hi hi hi hi!

I’ve missed you all so much! I have so many questions for all of you about your lives and new and exciting life events. I’ll try to refrain because I don’t liked being called fluffy but know that I am burning with buroisty. EFHW, it killed me not to be able to say hi because the thread was locked. I’m kicking myself for not figuring out some other way than f.ds to send you a message.

I’m soaking up the set up talk, although my guess is that it won’t help me much until Day 2 when someone can actually explain what happened instead of what can happen.

Deadline is Monday evening at 8, and likely too late for our euro friends (just faust, Awa, and thief? And for Jimmm it’s so late that it will be morning again?). And plurality. Thanks fausty for that. Good eye!

I don't know WestCoastDidds---is this ultra-friendly post almost entirely devoid of content typical?
Yes, it's the most Didds post the has ever Diddsed.

Can confirm the diddsiness of the post.

I know I am putting myself in there, but all of this is agreed to be neutral.

Didds, I want your opinion...

Who is the #1 most content-full player right now?

Non-posters aside, who is the #1 least content-full?

Feel free to ignore either question, too.

This is a fun question.

I am going to say tie between fang and awa as most full content.
I am going to say Shraeye for least content.

Would you answer your own question?

I 100% agree with Shraeye and in fact vote: joth

Is Swowl more likely town or scum for pointing this out?

I find this to be a silly question. Setup talk is totally faction-neutral. What's the implication? That scum is going to keep mum and hope no one else read the setup so they can keep their SK fakeclaim in their back pocket? Absurd.

vote: faust

These are very strong words from a day 1`townie. Feels more like joth is trying to get an exhile going rather than trying to scumhunt.

I don’t know how to word it exactly but robz first post strikes me as too “talking about things without saying anything” which is scummy. Though he is correct he is much better as scum and it’s actually a post I would expect scum!robz to reread and go “that sounds too much talking about things without saying anything” and come in more direct with a take on something a’la his second and third posts. So town reading robz for now.

Also going to unvote: joth, combination of joth himself reminding me that the two of us very often find ourselves wagoning each other regardless of alignment and robz read on him which is typically good.

MCMC - given all that - how do you feel about Shraeye rn?

I 100% think that Shraeye is being cagey.

I feel like you were hunting for an adjective to describe shraeye's 2 relevant posts. Cagey doesn't seem to fit to me.

FWIW I disagree with you here Jimmmm. I see what fang was saying. I want to be clear it has 0% reason why I am voting for Shraeye, but I don't think holding it against anyone here is productive.

I'm quite confused. Is it scummy to do a "talking about things without saying anything" post, or is it towny? Or does it depend on the person? If so, who would it be a scumtell for?

To faust's point about deadline and no mishaps - I will have no problem at all being around for deadline. I think it would be well done if we had everyone post up on this sooner than later so we know where we stand.

We have played a few games but not that many and it has been a long time.

To elaborate on my own availability - I will be around up until ~3 hours before the deadline.

"Cagey" to me, and by definition, is "reluctant to give information", ie information is being asked for and could be provided, but is not freely forthcoming. In shraeye's two "Unfortunately perfectly neutral" posts which fang was presumably referring to, the questions weren't specifically directed at shraeye, and "null" is a legitimate answer, and may well be what he truly believes. Hedging, on the fence, yes. But not "cagey" unless you're arguing that shraeye is hiding his true opinion.

...Which, it occurs to me, may have been the point. Was it, fang?

Deadline is 10am for me, which is perfectly fine if we actually wait until deadline. If a hammer came with a few hours to spare I'd likely still be asleep.

Vote Count 1.1

faust (2): Awaclus, joth
joth (1): infangthief
mcmcsalot (1): Jimmmmm
infangthief (1): faust
Awaclus (1): Cuzz
scolapasta (1): Didds
Not Voting (5): Robz888, shraeye, Swowl, scolapasta, mcmcsalot

With 12 alive, it takes 7 votes to exile. Day 1 ends July 29, 2024, 08:00:00 pm

This is…. Quite a vote count. Lots of votes, no wagons.

I’m not even really feeling my faust vote anymore, so I’m gonna make it even uglier and unvote. I’ll do some rereading today and put my vote somewhere.

I won't be around for the deadline. On deadline day I'll probably be around like 7-11am, and again about 5pm (all forum time). Deadline 8pm.

No. By cagey I meant the opposite of bold. Instead of objectively "this is neutral" it was like "to my mind, I think this is neutral". I think he is stating his true opinion, and doing so in a way which makes it clear that other people may have other opinions.

I think it depends on the person. I think scum generally wants to seem like they are talking a lot but they don’t really want to provide helpful content. However scum also has the option to be more of a driver of conversation/wagons. That’s the general point and I think players that are typically very helpful as town want to seem like they are talking lots as scum. I would probably toss you in that category shraeye a bit as well.
