CFD - Chinese Fire Drill. No idea how it's related to the name but it's basically end of day fast switching of wagons, happen literally minutes or seconds before EOD (end of day) and is usually done by mostly town.

History of the term, it was an insult where a supposedly well-trained and organized team effort turns into a frantic scramble of people working against each other.  Dates back to when fires were fought with lines of people all passing a bucket of water rapidly down the line to throw onto a fire, this can be faster for firefighting than say, 100 people each rushing that far with their own one bucket, the fire growing as they run instead of the hose-like sploosh of a good toss of water every second or so from the next handed up bucket - a Chinese fire drill presumes people doing weird stuff (that may work well) instead of neatly passing the buckets - but it looks chaotic and stressful (and can be).

It started to be used for other things, like a prank from the 1960s where people in a car that stops for a light or stop sign then jump out, run around the vehicle, and jump back in at a different door.

I prefer the term 'flash mob'.

Using a line of peasants to pass the buckets is actually really effective because you can get the buckets from one end of the line to the other in a single 6 second round of combat.

Beams at Mater We absolutely must somehow boardgame together.  Is that a D&D reference, or what else?

FallacyofUrist, what happens in the event of a vote tie?  I tried to scan through the rules and opening post and couldn't find it.

It's a reference to the Peasant Railgun in D&D, which is the idea that a line of peasants can transport an object instantly by lining up in order of initiative and using their action to pass the item to the next peasant in line.

It also works in X-Com (the original)

I feel like, if anyone other than TheCandianKitten gets voted out, they should be able to replace in for TheCandianKitten.

I think Crystal and Jack are suspicious to me my D1 is all vibes.

If you say that every game, it stops meaning anything...

I get it Jack. I'm not 100% or anything it's just how I play.

I don't really want to surprise lynch anyone either, that includes Crystal honestly. I think I do want to be lame and vote Cat to keep the game clean. I guess it's the opposite of being lame, but it feels lame.

PPE:

Fuck it, toastercultist

I'd rather vote Cat than Toaster if you're doing this.

I picked Toaster because without anyone else changing their votes, we have a lynch.  If you are gonna vote Cat, I'll switch back.

Fine, I agree. Canadian Kitten

How did the game form to where people I think are town or probable mislynches are currently leading in votes?

You haven't pushed anyone or given solid reasons to not lynch these people soooo the reason should be pretty obvious.

And I'm gonna destroy the hat of anyone that tries to tie the vote.

If we're going to surprise-lynch somebody, I'd prefer for it to be Crystalizedmire. Her reads all seem to be predetermined, with the reasoning filled in afterward. Most of them don't make sense and aren't cohesive with her other reads. For example, the town read on Tric for being a zany frood came way too early, and it was strange that she dropped that read without validating it with others, despite it being a read predicated on meta she's learned from other people.

I'm (probably) game if you are.

I'm going to try to read ten pages as fast as possible.

Alright, I see where people's moods are at and won't push for the surprise lynch.

I'd also be fine with Jim Groovester. He was the person I was waiting for, who said he'd be posting after work. Anyway, I didn't like how he kept referring to Canadian kitten as a likely mislynch, without explicitly calling him town. He also said that EuchreJack's push on Canadian kitten was lame. I'd say Jim is likely mafia because I don't really understand the soft defence there - it could be him defending his buddy, but I've also seen mafia defend weaker townies in this way.

I think TCk probably flips town and several people's suspicions towards him, including yours, don't pan out, based on playing a lot of Day 1s where weaker players who are only really guilty of not playing better accumulate votes.

Yes, I am probably guilty of not being around to fight people more, but I only care so much about playing mafia.

I understand your suspicions, it hurts me to suspect Jim but I appreciate the post on these players.

If I have to eat shit on this, I will. This is my genuine assessment of TCk; it could be wrong.

...yes, I think most town players would admit that voting out mafia is better than being right.

I 100% feel the same way Jim, but I think right now after serious contemplation I am going to decide on the fun of the game over voting Crystal or Jack. And I will take all of the flak for that as well.

Yes, you.  I don't want to leave us 1-step from a tie and time's getting closer.  Mater, lead the way - may you be as right here as you were about 4maskwolf!  The Canadian kitten

It *is* possible that I'm washed up and wrong about this. I don't think I am, but it'll make me sad if this is a mislynch and we just have a bunch of people jumping on the wagon because it's the easy thing to do. I think myself and Jack are the only ones who have expressed reasons for why he's scum, which is making me a little uncomfortable. I'd rather y'all just vote for someone you think is mafia.

[Magma Mater]

Town reads:
Imp
VermilionSkies
Krr1ss
ToonyMan
TricMagic
EuchreJack

Fewer town reads than I'd like but I'm finding it difficult to get reads on the remaining players (who I don't scum-read).

[Magma Mater]

Jim complaining about the lynch options while not voting for anyone is suuuuper scummy btw.
