lmao, Blades*

We have under 48 hours left.

[TheCow]

I'm wanting the other experienced players to get on so they can become readable in my eyes. For the most part, we're really just waiting on those inactive players. Perhaps those players should list reasons for why they think they should not be lynched and why someone else should be lynched. This would be valuable information.

[Santa07]

Segaco - tell us why you're town and how you plan to help town.

Do not hardclaim or softclaim a role in any way, and do not refer to night actions or anything.

[TheCow]

/vote santa

[teamalex]

Are you sure about this?

I want to hear Swordsworth's opinion before I start voting anyone.

[TheCow]

This is largely a pressure vote. Santa is either not reading the thread or isn't bothering with the game. Both of those things are his Mafia tells, the accusational evidence aside.

[Swordsworth]

Ohi santa. You seem to be seriously cherrypicking. I wonder why?

I'm currently not willing to establish reads with so much inactivity. I can't really fairly read the people who are participating. Although, also guilty of cherry picking is Polyester, who answered a question and then disappeared.

[TheCow]

Swords, get active or get out :distracted

[teamalex]

So you agree that Santa is suspicious? Segaco, I see that youre on, answer the questions please.

[Swordsworth]

Swords, get active or get out :distracted

Telling me this instead of Santa :kermit

Actually, that's interesting. Let's assume the comment wasn't for lols and lmaos. Why would you keep Santa in the fold, when his main crime is not reading?

Sure this is all meta speculation, but humour me

Definitely teamalex, although if he didn't have a meta on this site, it'd be different.

[TheCow]

I think you, too, should actually read the thread.

[Segaco]

I'm here, re reading the thread.
Again.

[RockFire]

BladesofSteel has been prodded for inactivity.

Hunter394 will be replaced for failing to respond to his prod.

[Swordsworth]

>Implying I haven't read the thread

I'd like to question Polyester and lucas more. Polyester, what do you think of inactives? How do you believe it should be read? Additionally, what are your suspicions? There's not much time left, after all.

Lucas, do tell us your opinions.

[TheCow]

Then reread my posts, because I've already said what you're looking for.

You should know that that type of questioning doesn't actually find scum.

[Swordsworth]

Humour me, I have an idea

[TheCow]

Segaco's crime is one of inactivity. A lynch on Segaco would be a mere policy lynch. The same could be said of many other players. I dislike Santa's tangential address of something he has issue with. This pattern of non-comital dissociation is indeed scummy.

BoS is not active enough to have posted anything alignment indicative at this time. Considering the motivation to post while playing as scum -- be it moderator or player posting -- I do not believe inactivity is a valid scum tell in this game.

[teamalex]

It's better than nothing I guess... We have about 36 hours to agree on if we should lynch someone.

Weren't you the one who said that inactivity = null read?

Segaco - tell us why you're town and how you plan to help town.

As I said.
There's literally nothing to do today.

You're force-replaced after 36 hours of zero contribution.

I can see what Cow's saying right now with the no lynch; there's no one expressly scummy...except Segaco, now that I'm looking at his posts. Let's go deeper with this.

Segaco, why do you have no reads yet? Why are you so insistent on the way inactives are read? Tell us more about your opinions.

I will answer this with a quote:

I'm currently not willing to establish reads with so much inactivity.

[TheCow]

I did. In that post I even called inactivity not a scum tell. Was there some ambiguity in my words that I'm not aware of?

[RockFire]

alouvre will be replacing Hunter394.

[TheCow]

ayy alouvre save me from this purgatorial existence

[teamalex]

Cow, what do you think of paritchithay? I think you have played with him before.

[TheCow]

I have. Pari is mislynch bait. Tentative town-lean for the moment.

[teamalex]

And Forgot/James? Town lean as well, right? Or you think they haven't posted enough to read them?
