Pirate ask me a question other then just reads?

Alright. Do you find the sudden shift towards an inactive player a good or bad thing?

I find it kind of a bad thing honestly we have some very viable options in front of us the sudden shift to jedi (who I and Chris have said to be one of the better newbies [when jedi was active that is] makes me wonder)

Pirate dont follow the trend who you want lynched today?

Red, why would his replacement be grilled? That was fairly standard corrik. Allignment neutral for sure

Also death saying "always" as a scum suspect raises a flag. That is very scummy talk.

Thats just silly.
It was just some friendly ribbing with corrik.
As I always do.

Top 3 scum and town reads, READY... GO

Town: Chris, honbad, Sultan
Scum: Jedi, Han, Bat

SUCCESS

What's your opinion on chris since he left the scare tunnel?

I honestly have no idea what he's thinking right now. Other than (what he believes) is best for the town.

I didnt say I was. (I certainly wasnt calling everyone but Ben town)
Its more that you havent posted anything yet that makes me feel not good about you.

Death. What didnt you like about my reasons for not being around much last night? (And probably all night tonight if more people come over to play lol)

Its more the fact that you excused your activity at all, and less the reasoning behind it.
That said, I also dont see how you can be obsessed with the real ultimate smash yet

Death not reading the game is worrying because ben was asked this by me and answered.

Guess I missed that post too.

This and missing Chris posting to begin. Death is more attentive than this as town

I don't want scare lynched since he just claimed doc (I know it's only a 1 move role but still) and I find chris to still be a bad lynch as well because of his cocky attitude which is town chris.
I find that Jedi is the best lynch out of inactivity and generally not taking the game seriously when asked to engage by chris. Bat is a possible lynch for tomorrow and so is pen.

I'll take that as a fair townish response

To special or not to special, that is the question scare

That said, Geno should know he is a survivor too. If he was one.

Maybe Ben is right and I am overreacting.
Though on that note, Ben sure did readily agree with Chris to kill me for someone trying to talk to me like I was town earlier.

This is dumb. I went with scare because Chris' guaran-damn-teed it.

If we aren't doing that then I'm going back to red. The only reason red was being spared was because of scare's train. Red has done nothing to deserve clemency.

Further Jedi's lynch will tell us nothing about the people voting for him, its just a whatever inactive lynch near the end of the day. If he isn't scum then it's actually pointless.

No seriously this makes no fucking sense to me right now
We are down to the wire
What's the chances he's lurking right now? As far as he knows, the Scare train is still running. I agree Death is sus but this seems like a bad idea
---

I do like the moves from Scare here. Seems to be a genuine feeling that Death is scum,. and not a scummy counter to Jedi given that he's backed off it since he can't be around
---

Ok, home.

So Chris is almost assuredly Scum. I have been paying close attention to him since Dance With Dragons mafia, since we had a shared "B8 Town is bad" time. So here are a few ways in which this can't be Town Chris, because Town Chris is very specifically calling people out on such bad behavior.

1. Stifling Discussion

Why did Han claim in the first post of the game?

There's plenty to ask there. There's plenty to discuss. I mean, Chris was right that it was a null-tell move... however, it is obvious that peoples' reactions to such an event are data points, which can be used to determine someone's alignment. For example, HB has had a stick up his butt ever since that moment - makes me pretty positive he's Town.

True, it's a null tell... but it's still a thing that happened. Me claiming creates a data point. People responding to that claim creates multiple other data points (one of the reasons why Death is likely Scum... if Scare isn't). Chris knows this. Chris doesn't want to stifle discussion about my claim, even if it's going nowhere... because it is data. Town Chris likes data. He uses it to find Town.

So why did Chris stifle this discussion? Why did Chris stifle discussion about Geno? I mean, Geno already full claimed... why not discuss it further? We have a theoretical endless amount of posts per day - what's one more talking about Geno?

Simply put, Chris has been stifling discussion about selected topics during this day, and that's Scummy as fuck.

2. Leading Discussion

Town Chris likes to Townread. He is way better at Townreading people than Scumreading them. It's why he does the whole 'trap' thing. He will go after people, saying they're Scum... but more often, it's just to create data points and examine reactions. As he was seemingly doing with Red at first (but he drew surprisingly little from those interactions).

Chris put all this pressure on Scare... just to hop off and move to an inactive. There was no analysis. Town Chris would be drooling over all the discussion he is causing, and using that to make further reads. He is not. He is lazy. Dragonquest is not an excuse.

By leading discussion, Chris can keep focus where he wants it, off of other things, and prevent alternative trains of thought from taking center stage.

3. Bad lynch target

Jedi is an inactive newbie who doesn't look good. He's a fucking prime lynch candidate. So easy.

Chris knows this. And this isn't how Chris likes to play. If Jedi is actually too inactive to play, host can find a replacement. No need to waste time on him now.

Chris knows this. Town Chris expects to die. Since Town Chris expects to die, he doesn't waste his limited time with inactives.

It doesnt have to make sense. B8 specials are delicious and I always engage when it involves a scum read

Thing is, Scare is almost assuredly Scum, and Death maybe has just been playing poorly. I would be more inclined, going with gut (which we know mine is best) to say Death is the Scum of the two, but I think Scare, who now that his lynch is not on-track, is using this newfound energy to ISO someone who looks bad, who someone (me, who he probably knows is Town) has said doesn't look good. Keep in mind, Chris said Death was Towncleared!

I'm good going for Red, Death, or Jedi. Feel a lot better about Scare now after his rebound after supposedly thrusting himself into the actual game

Jedi seems the most up in the air kind of target though. He's done little to helpo me read him either way. And while that could mean he's just scum...he's interacted with very few people. His flip as scum would tell us nothing but that Chris is town. Which I dont need to know
---

Seriously guys, we are not lynching Jedimess today. That's literally asking for Scum to win the game.
---

I'm not going to be the deciding vote. Too intense for me
---

Hey Red, I don't want to tag you, but can you read my post about Chris and agree with me, please?

Same with you FD. Get off your lazy (lazy FD is Scum) butt and analyze my thoughts on Chris.

Right.

Ehh this is where I definitely disagree the most Han. Because Chris plays up his bravado but his actual confidence in lynching scum isn't actually that high(Hes 50/50 to admitting to this). Jumping around is actually more of a towntell to him than a scumtell. Scumchris tends to focus and stay, townchris tends to focus and jump.

Why would I want to lynch someone aside from confirmed Scum?

@Pirate_Harris you're welcome

Chris has been sending up little red flags all day and dropping the Scare train after spending so much time defending it and seemingly having a meltdown over it is the last straw imo.

Scumchris would hop off of a fellow Scummate though.

Here's the thing Red - it's not purposeful hopping. There is ZERO reason for Chris to lead a train on Jedi. He led a train on you and Scare, and now that he knows he can control Town that easily, he's getting an easy lynch on a newbie that ISN'T EVEN HERE TO DEFEND HIMSELF.
