Not arguing, just curious.</p>

<p>I'm here again. Some interesting things happened clearly, not sure what to make of everything at the moment.</p><p> </p><p> My answer to DJ's 3 questions.</p><p> <em>1. Who do you feel better/worse about this phase, that is different from the day phase before? Please list at the very least one of each, you don't have to say why, just who.</em></p><p> </p><p> Better: DJ, Leion</p><p> Worse: MLT, Blue</p><p> </p><p> <em>2. If the mod sent you a PM saying this next night phase, you are a one time vigilante and must choose a target (no getting around it, as if you don't you shoot yourself), who would you pick? This answer can (and maybe should) be different then the first. An explanation would be nice but not needed.</em></p><p> </p><p> Archer. Low-risk as not active in game thread, high reward chance of getting scum and getting something worth examining.</p><p> </p><p> <em>3. Here is where I would like you to say what you are most curious/worried about this game. It can be anything, mentioned or unmentioned. You can also answer all the other normal questions that are asked. Speculate, whatever but say something.</em></p><p> </p><p> Well, ask me 30 mins ago I would have a different answer. But now the most pressing/curious thing to me is how I feel about Showtime's claim. It's too important a role in my mind to risk lynching just because I don't 100% believe it. An unnecessary risk with other questionable people still around.</p><p> </p><p> But he did dupe town last game with a fake claim and was able to survive way too long before we finally pieced it together. So I know he's comfortable lying about his role. Which leaves me frustrated that I feel like I have no choice but to believe him.</p><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-username="lukess11" data-cite="lukess11" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="46549" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>Seriously? It’s only d2 man.</div></blockquote><p> </p><p> Yeah, that's what I don't like. I don't feel like the pressure justified the claim and now we have a power role out in the open super early into the game.</p>

Oh, few more posts popped up. I'll answer them before I go. I'm kind of stuck on you at the moment. You gave me answers, I don't hate them. I'm hoping prodding the inactives could either: A) provide something that makes me feel stronger one way or the other about you/Emark/Showtime B) provide something that makes me feel a different path is better. I'm keeping my vote on you for now but I'll admit to be wavering and doubting myself on it at the moment. Good, let's push some more angles and see what happens. Okay, now I'm off!

I should add that I am going to be a lot more busy today than yesterday which stinks, because I feel like the conversation yesterday helped a lot with my reads (and also why I wanted to get my vote in early). I should ideally be back on tonight, and even if not, definitely tomorrow prior to end of day phase. I hope we can keep pushing conversation and get reads from people who don't have feelings stated. People's reads today could be telling for looking back in a few day phases. It is what helped get Showtime and won it for us last time.

Thanks for the reads. I don't necessarily agree with them but I appreciate your perspective none the less. Only if we actually push people on it and not let them get away with it.

Caught up on conversation from yesterday. Hmm. How do you feel about Showtime and The Two? I will say that is bugging me too. lukess 7 bak 4 michgcs 4 Eliphas 3 The Archer 2 I'd like to hear/see more from these posters. Because at the moment, the three people "standing trial" are being more active and pushing conversation at least.

And after that post, I'm going to head off for the night. I'll be back tomorrow and look forward to see what's been posted.

Nothing pushing the town's agenda forward. And coming off of a game where I feel like that was one, of many, of his frustrations with town I kind of expected (and hoped) for him to lead by example a bit more in this one.</p><p> </p><p> He answered/responded in post #337.</p><p> </p><p> I didn't really like his answer of not being the plan ahead type. Sometimes I feel like self-put downs are an easy defense because they're hard to argue against. And like, he's a veteran. I'd like to believe he's confident enough in his own abilities and know to put in an effort to look like town.</p><p> </p><p> And I don't like being in the DTA phase still. I know its day phase 2, but people are starting to show some a bit of their allegiances. I'm not saying anyone should be fully town cleared by any stretch of the imagination. But maybe a bit warmer or colder about a person or two. Saying DTA makes me feel like he doesn't want to have ties to anyone, which is off.</p><p> </p><p> I don't want this to sound like I have him dead to rights, I am far from certain about this one. There's a case to be made for all 3. But, of the three options, this is where I'm leaning at the moment (before they answer Opulent's questions). Hopefully that helps.</p>

Thanks for the answer. I'm about to take off but before I do, wanted to get one more question in: Is there any person you're suspicious of at the moment? If so, why?

Since you are here, what are your thoughts The Two about DJ's read on you?

OH. You're not DJ, I genuinely thought he and I were just having a back and forth.

It still feels weird to me that a Reventant (person who has returned, especially supposedly from the dead) is actually dead on night one. I have no reason to doubt it, but it still irks me, you know?

Yeah, easy way to get some posts in (so you aren't dead bottom of the activity list) while not actually trying to scum hunt. I could see that. Who are you feeling stronger about at the moment, him or Rev?

That's a lot of fluff. And yeah, his only posts so far. It reads a bit like pocketing too, defend the current lynch target so when he flips town The Two winds up looking like town.

What about you DJ, any direction you think would make sense at this point?

Emark? Or are you thinking different direction?

Hmm. Thanks for your reads, Zergon. Feel free to ask your scum chat if you have questions too. I'm sure they can help you out.

Welcome back Opulent, glad you're back in the game.
