1. I'm very against no-kill D1.

2. I do not like D1 massclaim either.

3. TricMagic doesn't sound crazy, which means that he's probably scum.

@Jack:
Do you think mafia!Roden would try to rock the boat by announcing his new D1 game plan? Or do you think he would play more cautiously and reserved as mafia to not stand out? I also haven't seen Roden as mafia yet so I think this is a reasonable conclusion to make.

He didn't sound crazy to me in Round 1 either, does this change your feelings?

Honestly? No. I have plenty of town-Tric to compare him with.

Does the game still work if Met doesn't post? Even if we do decide to vote Day 1, we're missing someone who could be scum, and if they're town it means the entirety of town would have to come together to successfully vote out scum. Well, unless scum busses, technically.

Could we maybe get an extension if Met still hasn't posted by the time the deadline comes around?

Only if the plan was flawed.  Also, haven't seen mafia Roden yet.

And I can see your soft-and-careful probing, so unvoting Toonyman for now.

It worked well enough last round with Vector, so I don't seem a huge need for alarm bells.  ::)

@FallacyofUrist: Pokey Met sometime please?

Also, should Met be town and not post, we'd have to consider policy lynching Met instead of more interesting suspects.  Not opposed to the extension.

1. I'm very against no-kill D1.

2. I do not like D1 massclaim either.

3. TricMagic doesn't sound crazy, which means that he's probably scum.

This all sets off Mafia vibes for me.  How I read all 3 of those points:
1) Lets kill more townies!
2) Lets give mafia more spaces to hide in!
3) Uh, let's push the lynch on Tric!

(Note, it isn't so much that I've cleared Tric but rather Tric has claimed and is thus clear-able to some extent)

How do we determine Met is town before policy lynching them? Why would we want to vote a town player?

I'll vote NJW for going at Roden again, I think he might be doing this to look natural.

Do you think you're voting Roden for legitimate new reasons or are you not reflecting on what transpired in Round 1 with your feelings towards Roden? Remember that you even wanted Roden over Met on D1.

Honestly, why does Psychologist seem to... That's my flavor more than my role, so don't see how it's confirmable on it's own. As for meta not posting, sure. But I'm more worried Vector seems to take my sanity as an excuse to lynch me early.

That said, voting Toonyman cause he townreads Roden sounds plausible for jack.

As for NJW, he felt off to me all last game. And still feels off to me, so nothing has actually changed there.

My question to you Tric is why openly state your flavor role in the first place?

I think it's because you don't want to reveal your actual ability, but sure be annoying and difficult. This is different from last game where you were much more forthcoming. I'm probing to get a better idea of your motivations.

This round has been boring. My flavor has my stated profession (biologist) along with my actual profession. Hence my extreme raised eyebrow at you simply claiming Psychologist and nothing else.

Also I have a day-kill. Should I use it today? Who's a good player for me to kill Tric? Somebody who isn't playing?

Probably, though maybe get an extension first.

Of course, given the game style, such isn't a good thing in the first place. Normally getting rid of someone who isnt.. Maybe save it for the end of the day and.. Well, near the end, you can just shoot the one being lycnhed and we can move into discussing who voted them and why, and pick someone else to lynch if we want.

Or you can use it on me for no reason. Or Roden, since they haven't actually posted anything with info today, just an informational.

Alternatively, you're bluffing. I'd typically keep a daykill to my chest for the first day. Bit odd though.

. . . . . Let me just translate your post ...

1. Let's kill discussion and take away Town's best resource against scum!
2. Let's tell the mafia exactly who to kill!
3. Let's chainsaw Tric!

Get back in your lane my dude, this isn't the kiddie pool.

Go on...

Go on? The most notable one is his hat-kid insanity, the second most notable was when he claimed Knight D1 in supernatural. Town Tric is obsessed with outing and using his PR and with going "are you scum huh huh huh susssssss." Scum Tric sounds "sometimes reasonable."
