Quarque...
You uh… just gonna leave it like that? Like… I’m pretty sure I’ve shared everything mechanical I can, but that’s not really the point.
Given the game state, nobody is going to vote me out today so you lose nothing voting me, and maybe put pressure on me to respond to… well it’s currently nothing, so even if you did vote me you’d probably get this post anyway.
I mean I get it, coming back from the dead in this type of game has a history of not necessarily being good for town, but… well - sorry Imp - we saw what rampant paranoia can do in FBYOR6 too, and since you haven’t actually asked anything… I don’t really know what you’re doing, or hope to gain from an FoS?
When I moved out of my last house I was cleaning things up when I saw the last jobby I did in the toilet, which hadn’t flushed for some reason. In a moment of sentimentality I decided to save it, so I fished it out and put it in a Tupperware container to keep it safe.
Over time we got closer, I used to bring him out and just look at him. I named him Tod, and we were the best of friends. One day I decided to let him meet my other friends. They were reticent at first, but they really took to him, and always asked after him.
“How’s Tod doing? Will he come to my party on Saturday? We’d love to have him there, he’s great fun!” They would say.
After a while the questions became a bit stranger. They’d ask if Tod had been down the shops or if he’d enjoyed sunbathing in the park, that they saw him all over town.
Then it got really bad, strangers would come up to us in the street, absolutely convinced they’d met Tod before somewhere, like on the pavement outside their house.
Well, one weekend, Tod and I, we were watching the news, and they were interviewing politicians.
“Morons.” I muttered to myself.
“Yeah, complete idiots, let me tell you!” Someone else said
“You what?”
“A total shower of bastards, the lot of them.” It was coming from Tod’s box!
I looked inside, and there he was, sitting up, jabbering away at the TV.
“They should bring back hanging!” He said.
I was flabbergasted.
“Tod, since when did you learn to talk?”
“Oh, I’ve always been able to talk, I’m just awful shy, you know?”
Let me tell you, we talked the night away. He was very erudite, and I hung on his every word and idea… but something was bothering me.
“You know Tod, you remember when we used to go out with all of our friends?”
“Oh yes lad, they were good times but exhausting too. It would be nice to see them again, but maybe in smaller doses.”
“Do you remember when they said they’d seen you out and about? And the strangers too? What were you doing?”
“Oh lad that wasn’t me, I would never leave my box without telling you.”
“But they saw you!”
“Well, I’ve just got one of those faeces, know what I mean?”
Qua though... you're so new to us. Re-new to us, maybe.
Have you had time to read as much as you're interested in? Would you like to discuss stuff more, question, explore, explain? Do you have any changes from your earlier opinions yet, are you ready to give reads or anything?
I’m not new, just an unknown quantity I guess. As I said above, I’m pretty sure I’ve told you all I can mechanically., but everybody’s been a bit distracted by the whole EJ SK CM/sofanthiel business, so maybe I’m just not a priority in the face of that.
I’m not sure I necessarily get much asking about N1 stuff, it looks likes everybody had no idea what would they could do before then, so it was just arbitrarily choosing someone.
I don’t know who has all claimed their N2 stuff yet? I’ve been a bit distracted following along today because of the snow and tiredness and family stuff, so it’d be cool if that was recapped.
As for my reads, I am most concerned about solving CM and sofanthiel, because CM has been giving me the heebie jeebies since they claimed to be town ally and that they were abducting folk looking for “interesting specimens” while suggesting TricMagic, who has claimed being dragonkin, and webadict, who claimed being a non-human survivor after reviving D2, are apparently not interesting enough? There’s something they’re not telling us.
I also didn’t like the hammer at the end of D2 out of nowhere on FoU specifically to save sofanthiel. That didn’t sit right with me at all, particularly when they said sofanthiel’s flip would alignment confirm CM and that would somehow be bad?
The way they’ve conducted themselves since then has set off lots of red flags too, it’s like they’re saying what they think we want to hear so we don’t lynch them (or sofanthiel) rather than trying to find someone better.
Well, long story short, I think they would be the best lynch today for the following:
Good or bad, their flip will tell us about sofanthiel, allowing us to clear or condemn them, which would be beneficial considering sofanthiel’s current absence.
Their play so far has leant heavily toward keeping sofanthiel alive instead of finding scum, belying the town-ally claim.
They’re abducting people and I’m certain they’re hiding something about what that means and/or does so it’s something I’d rather not give them further opportunity to do.
They’ve said the abductees don’t come back if they die, and the current abductee is a non-voting non-town webadict, so we lose nothing from his loss, which probably won’t be the case after N3.
I was concerned with you and NQT, but NQT claimed to act on EJ, and EJ confirmed the result NQT got, which… it doesn’t clear him from being scum, but makes me less unsettled by him? Not necessarily a priority for today. You’ve also been pretty on point about pressing people and your thought processes look organic rather than forced, so I’m cool, for the time being, placing you both in the town pile.
Tric is being Tric. He does appear to be thinking things through, the focus on sofanthiel and NQT is understandable, though could just be a smokescreen to be looking like they’re actively trying to solve the game without being able to put the effort in because both targets aren’t posting much. To be perfectly honest I’m not sure about him, he could go either way. His day game looks like he’s trying to solve things, but I’m not sure I like someone unlynchable trying to dictate the night game.
EJ is SK
sofanthiel has gone, but is currently scum by association with CM. I’d like to know what they say though, so I’d quite like to avoid a hammer until they’ve had a chance to at minimum claim their N2 action.
