[mykonian]

Give it back, then, Fenchurch.

Given you are voting Cpol, why do you want them to have their potato back?

[Postie]

UNVOTE:

Don't like Bella execution anymore.
One sec, catching up.

[Postie]

Day 1 quickguess: evil team is Primate and Bella, Cpol cult something.

This screams scum with information that there are multiple teams out there.

nope don't like this
intellectually lazy reasoning from someone I know can do better

VOTE: mykonian

And then there's you. I don't even mind the townreads so much as that you don't have any scumreads. And then... defaulting on cpol already? If someone's playing to their meta it's them.

OTOH, I like this because Chris is definitely just doing Chris things, but also makes for potential easy execution bait given people have interpreted the characteristically Chris laziness in a negative light so far and he has been misexecuted in quite a few IRL games. So defending him here is not very pro scum utility.

@myko

- For someone accusing everyone else of having too many townreads and not enough scumreads, it's weird that you're not voting anyone. Vote a scumread and explain it please.

@Primate

- Can you explain your myko scumread to me?

[Postie]

nexus towny

agreed.

Are these reads real or a meme
Is there something I don't know about Nexus' meta

Although instinctively I still think Chris' offer here to give his up is irrational and therefore scummy.

He literally did the same thing as town at the meet. I would say it's solidly NAI. Maybe at a stretch you could argue he should have learned to do better rather than staying so static in his plays.

I'm not scum, but do see myself as low hanging fruit for an execution - either today or another day, so hopefully I can remove myself from that consideration and we can scum hunt elsewhere

[mykonian]

@myko - For someone accusing everyone else of having too many townreads and not enough scumreads, it's weird that you're not voting anyone. Vote a scumread and explain it please.

I'm voting Nexus currently. I think he got into this game in a scummy manner, I feel like it's the kind of gameplay where you look where town is heading before you commit. I think the Cpol vote fits that story. Coincidentally, I think he should've looked for another place to put his vote down, or even unvote, when he asked Fenchurch to give the potato back. It's not the contradiction I mind so much (townies are fully capable of doing that) it's the passivity, the lack of initiative.

I did vote him at first as well because I got bored of being stuck on the Bella wagon. I do think we are letting her off the hook for no good reason at all. I think her posts have seen little to no improvement since the start of the game, and I don't think that's massively because of any pressure either. I don't think it's defensiveness that's putting me off (which is something that could drag you into a tunnel). I just don't like the way they go about the game.

I was wrong about Fenchurch. I do think the reason was fine.. but I should've read the first post better. I think that quote was somewhat selective too, I discussed more about the reasonableness of a potential cult and what made me more worried about it being a red herring. I think that reasoning still stands too. I don't think there will be any cultist recruitment here.

[cpol]

I will say that in at least two WereLeg games in the meet Myko kinda buddied with me, and both times was scum iirc. There is a level of the same behaviour happening here.

The first time I suspected you might become a consul again, iirc.

So you'd have to worry if I wanted a private conversation with Menno. Here you are just playing to your meta, I am not surprised by your play, I think the wagon on you is pretty hollow. Fenchurch is the one who put most effort into it and she's wavering, the other two are just as confused as you are why they are voting you. You should get a potato.

I myself don't think I'm that fortunate, I would be a lot happier if people wouldn't find themselves with "neutral leaning scum reads" of me, as I'm getting too close to a consensus gut feeling deadline Elim already.

[cpol]

@Postie - I'm interested in your assessment on me there. You seem to be contradicting yourself by saying that you are aware that I've been miss-executed in multiple games, then seem to not like the fact that I have also acknowledged that this is indeed the case and so I have chosen to try and do something about it? I've been more active than many others in the game have so far as well. Seems more like needless discrediting than actual value. What are you actually trying to say?

[Cogito Ergo Sum]

I think you look town, myko, if it helps.

[Bellaphant]

UNVOTE:


Myko actually looks like he's trying to solve.

[McMenno]

nah fuck that

EXECUTE BELLAPHANT!!!

the voices command me.

[ChannelDelibird]

Start of Night 1

You have a deadline of 72 hours for any choices that need to be made during the night. Actions submitted after this deadline will not be counted. According to the rules of this game, I would end the Night early if I have received all necessary player input by the 48-hour mark but I have plans on Saturday that will prevent that, so expect a flat 72 hours either way.

Time until deadline: (expired on 2022-04-24 15:25:00)

[ChannelDelibird]

I have all necessary actions, so ending Night 1 a couple of hours before deadline to suit my own schedule, whims and needs.

Dawn of Day 2

mykonian, the

Cockroach Poker Player, Town Bluffing Vigilante

, died during Night 1.
Takuma,

Trader Livinius, Town Blackmailing Inventormaker

, died during Night 1.

You find a stink bug lying face-up next to the bodies. Searching mykonian's corpse, you also find the remaining five Cockroach Poker cards. You return them all to the deck and put away the game box.

The Codenames board remains in place.

Unless you've been told otherwise by PM, you can't interact with this right now.

Seven candles are burning.

Three have gone out overnight.

Unless you've been told otherwise by PM, you can't interact with this right now.

Time to eat some potatoes!

Oh, what's this?

During the Night, cpol gained a potato.

You're all getting really hungry now, so it's time to dig in.

Everyone eats a potato; no players were unable to do so, so nobody dies.

All potatoes now disappear. They won't have any further effect on this game.

There are no Consuls today, so you'll be voting normally to achieve an execution. With 10 players alive, it will take 6 votes to execute. You have 10 days.

Time until deadline: (expired on 2022-05-04 13:33:00)

[Fenchurch]

Cpol, you're alive! Hooray! I was so sorry that I hadn't given your potato back. Even though getting an extra execution from the day phase was what I had originally wanted. But Menu's decision to quickhammer made it pretty clear that you must be town.

It seems like Myko was the person who could use the cockroach poker cards. I'm guessing he could send one to a player, and depending on whether they guess the card correctly, either they die or he dies? Could they can even send the card along like in cockroach poker???

Anyway... since Menno claimed scum....

VOTE: Menno

[Postie]

VOTE: Menno

[Postie]

Wait

??????????

VOTE: cpol

[Fenchurch]

Takuma seems an odd choice of night kill in that case... my read on them was leaning scum.

[Fenchurch]

Wait

??????????

VOTE: cpol

Cpol was given a potato in the night. It's not that he survived without one.

[Postie]

Fenchurch, you're absolutely the next execution after cpol

Edited to remove outdated language. Badger by PM incoming! - CDB

[Fenchurch]

Oh, what's this? During the Night, cpol gained a potato.

[Nexus]

Menno claimed scum?

[Fenchurch]

Fenchurch, you're absolutely the next execution after cpol

Errr what? Pretty sure Cpol is close to conf-town now, and I've no idea why you'd peg me for an execution over Menno.

Edited for term replacement - CDB

[Postie]

Oh, what's this? During the Night, cpol gained a potato.

Yes, that's why you're both scum

[Fenchurch]

Menno claimed scum?

What other interpretation did you have of their quick hammer the instant Cpol gave up his potato?
