Sorry for flaking. I've had another couple of games taking my attention. The mechanic just makes this hard, not all that interesting.
My reasoning on BTD^ was partly due to his lack of engagement, partly from Dogwatch's argument. However if BTD6 really was away at the deadline, that doesn't stand as strong. I'll also admit that I was voting him rather than NM precisely because someone though he and I could be the team.
We're 6:2 right now. If we lynch NM and BTD6 over the next two days and one is town and there are two successful NKs, we're at 3:1. So mylo.
We've only got a few days to decide on a lynch, but I think we should use all of it to get everyone's reads. I'll read through the game and present my opinions on everyone either today or tomorrow.

I also flaked, and I apologize. I like the idea of this game, but it isn't really working in practice. Let's try to finish it out though.
Here are my current reads:
Confirmed Town:
BTD
Townish:
Xnad
Raya
Vijarada
Brie {I'm still having a hard time getting over the trolling, but based on recent posts, I'm giving her the benefit of a doubt right now}
Scummish:
N_M
yakko
BTD's claim pretty much negated my previous post, so I'm looking now at a possible N_M/yakko team. The fact that N_M STILL has yet to post in the thread, and only voted once against Brie when a wagon was generating on her doesn't sit well with me. Yakko's 110 is kind of interesting when you consider the possibility of him being partners with N_M.

Has Not_Mafia said anything at all? I cannot ISO dive them if they have zero ISO to speak of.
Anyway, that reminds me of Open 679, Jungle Oligarchy, in which Not_Mafia was scum. They replaced in on Day 2 and, for both Days 2 and 3, posted two naked hammers and nothing else.
It is plausible that they do this as Town, so I wouldn't say it is too AI without further evidence. Also, it is possible that they are using a pseudonym or not signing at all.
We should probably try to pressurise them to post at all so we can see what they have written.
One advantage to not signing posts as scum is this: when asked to show your posts, you can select which of your unsigned posts to claim, and which to disown. Those posts may be those which are useful at the time but will seem scummy in hindsight. Again, this is just a theory.

The vast majority of posts are signed and accounted for, except for a few at the start. To my memory, none of them have been attributed to N_M. Unless he posted an anonymous message early on, then he hasn't posted at all in this thread. What you bring up about Open 679 is VERY interesting in light of this.

Ultimately, we need a lynch here. I am guaranteed to die anyway.
The optimal play here is to lynch today but No Lynch tomorrow (as it will be Mountainous with an even number). Since a lynch is necessary here, it looks like Not_Mafia is the best option at the moment. I have been unable to post yesterday (I was on a plane) but I will analyse the others. Making ISOs would be helpful.
I will thus vote Not_Mafia.

Also has anyone actually used the votes seriously or is it just try to RVS despite the absolute lack of pressure since it's all anoynomous.

If 2 people fake sign, that should leave us someone who hasn't shown their name, so calling out fakesigns (assuming Town properly signs) confirms the scum. So I'm assuming scum isn't fakesigning based off this, which is another reason to actually properly sign. Town gains nothing from not properly signing so please.In post 71, This is me wrote:

~TheIn post 58, This is me wrote:Raya was complete random vote. Xnad was to get his attention becuase he hadn't voted yet. I did note that at the time, though I didn't specifically say I was going to vote him. Slimer was because I'm thinking Xnad is town, and his vote change had no reason behind it. I probably should have explained.
Since there actually doesn't seem to be any penalty for giving names, I'll do it now. I take credit for every post signed The, except the fake self vote on I already called out.
~BrieIn post 59, This is me wrote:I also take credit (or censure) for three troll posts.
#7 was because I felt lazy.
#31 because I was bored and felt like calling out the person who self voted as myself and someone else.
And I can't deny #49 (doggie). I was trying to get reactions. See who called me out and how. Not enough was going on, so i had to create my own drama. That post does not actually reflect my own opinions on any of the players mentioned. I think Raya is town. and I think Dogwatch is town. NTRP is a complete null.
I also got to claim #40 because I didn't feel like claiming the trolls posts back then. And #36 because i wanted to see if people picked up who i was. probably should have out The is that too.
~BrieIn post 62, This is me wrote:I don't know how you picked up that #57 was slimer, but good job.
I don't really like his explanation, his still not using any kind of signature, and his unvote on being called out on giving to reason for the vote. So I'm not going to move my vote of him at the moment.
~BrieIn post 65, This is me wrote:@Post #63 That's reasonable. I didn't expect people to trust me immediately. But seriously think about what the scum motive for the troll post could be? Is anyone seriously going to listen to something like that?In post 67, This is me wrote:@Yakko You're a replacement right? And from what I understand you're replacing NTRP. So why are you acting like he's another player? Who do you think you are replacing? The mod hasn't officially said anything, so it's kinda confusing.
I doubt 17 and 20 were the same person. I can't see nay motive for doing that from a town standpoint, and it seems kind of stupid as scum. Also one had punctuation. It could be faked, but I doubt it was. And 20 can't be fake signed.
~BrieIn post 69, This is me wrote:I just realized I don't know what lmao means.
I'm thinking this is a genuine townslip. Scum would be a bit more aware of who they were in the game.
~BrieIn post 72, This is me wrote:But scum would make sure they weren't scum reading their partner if it was avoidable. Though I suppose he wasn't really a scum read, just someone to push until he answered. So I'll leave Yakko as a null.
Leaf, are you Dogwatch or did Dogwatch only come on to defend himself from my troll?
~BrieIn post 77, This is me wrote:I'd like Dogwatch better if he'd come out more before I stirred things up, but I'm still okay with him. I think Xand si town ans lef is probably town. I'm frustrated by really not knowing who leaf is. A town read isn't much use if I don't know who it is.
I'm a bit wary of Yakko and I really don't like Slimer. Since there's only tow scum, I'm putting Not_Mafia as a town lean though, I'd like more activity.
Raya and Vijarada are on the townish side too. I really can't remember what BTD6 has done.In post 87, This is me wrote:I have clearly said that the posts signed The were all mine except the fake self voting one. All the Brie ones have been mine.
NTRP still said nothing before being replaced. There might not be anything in that, but the fact he didn't care about the game is something to keep in mind.
Now that I know who Slimer is, I understand his votes and are quite happy to have him as town for now.
~BrieIn post 95, This is me wrote:If I'd been trying to disguise my identity, why would I have written that post the same as all the ones I was signing? Cause I can write differently if I actually want to.
I agree that is was stupid for me to react to my own test. But I was on and with the game being so slow I wanted to post something. I couldn't very well ignore that. So my impatience made me stupid. But I promise I'm just bad bored town, not scum. If you let me live, I'll do my best to play well. But it's perfectly reasonable for you to suspect me.
Out of Yakko and NM I think NM's complete lack of signed posts is scummier. But I'm not sure.
I just want to point out that ii is entirely possible for scum to be active and sounding towny in this game N one has really raised my suspicions, but we mustn't forget the possibility.In post 96, This is me wrote:And I forgot to sign again. It was obvious I hope, but I'm Brie anyway.In post 98, This is me wrote:i mean sometimes i can digcuise my posts
nm is prob scum cause some thee are posts that haven't been signed or claimed that are super scummy.
EP, is just trying to lynch Brie cause she's easy game. EP WHY AREN"T YOU SCUM HUNTING?
Actually now that I've tried it, the disguise doesn't really work that well and I just end up feeling stupid. EP is just an example player. Cause I'm not really thinking that about any player.
But the point about someone having to have done the scummy posts at the beginning stands. Unless it's a someone who's also playing sensibly as town, Not_Mafia and maybe Yakko are the likely candidates. We'll never know about Yakko however because he wouldn't have gotten a record of which posts were his when he replaced in.
~BrieIn post 103, This is me wrote:I'm the one being put to L-1 and Not_Mafia is my counter wagon, but I do agree it seems opportunistic. He's not trying to play.
Strangely the vote was within a minute of mine on him.
Was #100 you, DogWatch? Whoever it was forgot to sign and most of the others have been pretty good about it.
I just realized that Vijarada hasn't said anything for a long time and he's still got that vote sitting on himself. Maybe he's forgotten about the game.
~BrieIn post 109, This is me wrote:My computer's messing up and ate my last post.
I had missed #90. The signature isn't all that obvious, and the post had so little content. Since you're here, would you like to say something of use? Why are you self voting?
~BrieIn post 119, This is me wrote:Well I'm not scum. I was only at L-1 for about half an hour if I'm reading the timestamps right. So a BTD-NM team is quite plausible. BTD was also getting under the radar. He hadn't posted in forever and we hadn't really noticed him. I would hate to mod something like this where its hard to keep up with everyone's activity.
~BrieIn post 123, This is me wrote:Yeah, Leaf is Slimer. And that's good reasoning. I still would rather go after BTD6 today, but I could swap to NM.
@Mod, could we have a vote count?It's hard to keep track when the last count posted was in the previous day, and there was another vote in that day after that.
~BrieIn post 129, This is me wrote:Sorry for flaking. I've had another couple of games taking my attention. The mechanic just makes this hard, not all that interesting.

Well fine then, I thought I would be able to play this game as intended, instead of just having avatars represent ourselves, but I'll admit that I'm leaf. It was a matter of PoE anyway since everyone is signing their own posts and linking it to themselves.
This whole game has been in a bit or realm of speculation as of late, but trying to lynch someone because they're taking advantage of the setup and prod dodging seems a bit ass pulley if you ask me.
So with only a few days left I think we should do a role call. We'd have a benefit of lynching whoever's been trying to fly under the radar for day 1. We might hit town, but that's one less potential scum to deal with in lylo who probably wasn't paying attention anyway. This way we can have a bit more of a focused day 2 and it'd be more active due to having 2 players less. Possibly one of the actives ones though in the night kill.
Anyone like this idea?

Let's see.
Vijarada has little in their ISO, but they have much more than Not_Mafia. Right now I am thinking that such inactivity may be more because of the game state, as it seems like many people are very inactive.
XnajdroX, at first, focused almost exclusively on signing posts. Later, they mentioned a scumread on TheBrie, but provided not much reasoning. What they did provide is vague. Who was 114 addressed to? It looks as though they were talking about TheBrie. XnajdroX, if you still scumread TheBrie, please go a bit more in-depth about your reasoning.
Raya doesn't have much content (not many of us do), but what they do have looks fairly good. They are particularly interested in reasoning behind votes, particularly switching votes. They did reply to your post, saying "Fair enough". I am wondering what they would have to say now, with many more votes. Do they have other comments about others' replies, if there were any?
TheBrie has a very large (in comparison) ISO, so I will analyse that in a separate post. At the moment I cannot go into too much depth.
Anyway, it is unfortunate that a No Lynch is the most likely outcome. Asking the Mod for a deadline extension is our best bet. This does seem reminiscent of Open 642 where, perhaps due to general apathy including, at one point, a Modflake, we No Lynched on two consecutive days. One of these, Day 2, was over six weeks long.
