k, time for more detailed reads. it’s still late and i’m still tired but wanted to leave thoughts.

BlueSkySprite: defended me against pistachi0n’s RVS vote but probably not early buddying, silly entrance, goofed off for a while, then was busy but took time out to give us some gut reads before having to take care of real life stuff. townlean.

Daniel: fluffy entrance, goofed off for a while, appologised when Jalapeno thought he was discouraging goofing off (how? he was goofing off himself), talked strategy for a while, speculated about fairies, went and looked things up to help him ground his opinions in reality and changed his mind after looking things up which is towny.

epsilon: jokey entrance with RVS, setup speced for a while, contributed some strategy too, made a case about jalapeño with quotes and stuff instead of just sheeping. town.

Eva: unremarkable entrance, contributed lots of strategy discussion and has been helping to make sure the strats scum used last time won’t work this time, had a disagreement with me but it felt more like a town push from the inside so TvT, don’t lynch her you guys please unless she spends tomorrow coasting without scumhunting or something but she is very probably town.

Hybrid: clearly new and trying to figure things out. i was leaning town on her because i always tend to townread newbies but she does ask why people are voting jalapeno. depends on how jalapeno flips but i’d take a closer look at her tomorrow if he flips scum. it’s not that strong a relational tell, just something to look at. if he’s town, she probably is too. going to call her nullish for now.

jalapeno: silly entrance, then i pushed him some for fluff posting and he attacked me for scumhunting too much, for not caring about appearances enough, for simultaneously trying to get myself nightkilled and mislynched (how does that even work), and argued that i’m behaving “uncharacteristically” (as compared to the last two times when i was scum? that’s a good thing, right?), so his case was really weak and mostly nonsensical, but he did post some reads before voting no lynch and doing some math (after it was pointed out that he’s mathy). anyway, i think he’s scum that’s why i’m tunnelling him.

modrony: great entrance, with reads and opinions and a vote, active participation, scumhunting, this is town modrony.

mtc: lurksack, needs to get into the game. i’m glad that he’s voting jalapeno, though!

paradox: lurksack, voting me because they find me suspicious but doesn’t give specific reasons. if jalapeno flips scum, this could be a chainsaw. if jalapeno flips town, it’s null.

pistachi0n: rvs start, a little silly then gets down to business, shares strategy, including the kinds of strategy that we didn’t want the town to know about last game, asks lots of questions to try to sort as many people as she can to get her early reads in place and understand where other people are coming from with their reads. town.

pdv: fluff entrance, has no suspicions and is happy to let his vote be handed out at random. scumlean. if he doesn’t get his head into the game sometime during day 2 you should lynch him.

shoal: do your own reading, make up your mind about me

tamien: shares early reads, talks about specifics of last time, but she seems to like the idea of painting both me and jalapeno as scum which makes me worry about lining up mislynches, and she’s wrong about whether we’d get into a fight for no reason on day 1; the only time i fight with people is when i actually disagree with them (last game, about the precommitments thing, for example. i was sharing my actual beliefs in that SvS argument. and we didn’t do it on day 1). but actually thinking back to that argument and now that I remember that it happened, I can see why Tamien thinks that might be a possibility so I think I’m going to chalk this up to a town paranoia attack which would make her townish.

wolffreak: lurky, needs to get into the game. his vote on me is a bit opportunistic. null otherwise.

Yadal: another newer player. tries to contribute to strategy discussion. sheeps me on jalapeño. seems to have some town paranoia though which i think newbie scum might not know they’re supposed to fake so townish.

Still not convinced Shoal is scum as opposed to a townie with an bizarrely different philosophy about how to properly play the game as Town, but I think it is pro-Town for me to not get myself killed. (More precisely: I know I am Town. I don't know Shoal is Town. The only situation in which it would be pro-Town for me to die rather than Shoal is if I believe Shoal to have a power/role sufficiently stronger than mine that it makes up for my uncertainty about whether they're actually Town, and/or I trust their ability to scumread more than I trust my own, again to a sufficiently large extent that the expected benefit makes up for the possibility that they're not Town. I do not believe the former to be the case and the latter is obviously false given that they're scumreading me.) So:

Vote Shoal

Current vote count:
Shoal (6): BSS, Eva, Tamien, wolffreak, Paradox, jalapeno_dude
epsilonbeta (1) : pistachi0n
jalapeno_dude (6): Yadal, Shoal, DanielH, MTC, modrony, epsilonbeta
modrony (1): HybridZizi

PDV has not voted but has stated he will probably not do so, which I believe means his vote will be assigned randomly.

Survivalism is protown? Forcing a coinflip 28 minutes before the deadline is protown?

Okay, I am flipping to Jalapeno_Dude based on both Jalapeno's coinflip force and Shoal's well-written readpost.

Shoal's still my #2, but Jalapeno's more deserving of the lynch now.

Lynch Jalapeno_Dude

Shoal, are you even trying any more? You knew damn well that I was going to change my vote rather than just roll over and die. Survivalism is not pro-Town, but that means I should be indifferent between letting myself and another known Townie with my exact same powers or lack thereof live. This is *not* the situation, as I explained when I voted.

(Also, animated GIFs? Really?)

Eva, if you put the tie back and I vote for both of them in separate posts, the scummiest one will die, unless they are both town.
