WAAAAY back there where games with one-shot Night stopping actions that happened when the player sent it in...that would also mean other actions sent before that would happen...the write-up suggests otherwise (I suppose the Night phase would have ended way earlier if the person calling the Night skip sent in his PM first).

[BlueStar]

So what all that out of the way, at this stage I see this as a town player deciding to use his action in the first phase where he/she can use it.

First part: yeah, that would rule out a decent ISO.

Second part: Pretty early is a euphemism (That's English, I did study languages, sorry to ruin to ol' BlueStar Is-That-English joke) ... Pretty early is like the first possible chance. Do you think it was a town action or not?

 

Most likely a town action

[BlueStar]

And once again the time zone seems to be an issue to get discussion going, around for an hour or so max....early working day tomorrow.

[BlueStar]

Most likely a town action

 

/nods (I think)

[Paws7297]

I wish I had more information to give. I suck at reading people.

I want to charge after someone but last game I was wrong more often than right.

 

Vote: Jaded

 

Let's see what this gets me.

[Imarevenant]

 

I have town leans on about 4 people. But not gonna share their names.

 

I'm quiet due to role and game topic. I am more active when I enjoy my role and the game topic more.

 

Fair enough on the first part

 

 

 

The second part is scummy AF, straight cop out.

[Paws7297]

It's the truth though. 🤷🏻*♀️

[Kijar]

The ultimate roleblock, but no dount a townie action. If the scum had a chance to block anything, it would surely be for the day phase. Why would they not want a kill? Especially before too many reads can be placed on them quite yet.

 

So, either someone was not wanting to save their big power for later, or simply motivated by something, we know not what. It would be a bit much for this individual to reveal themselves just yet, I am extremely curious about their motivation, though.

 

Paws, you have to know these votes would have not much to do with a previous victory. They are clearly because you weren't around. A lot of what you have said on this page backs you further into the corner, imo. Random vote for Jaded, telling us you don't even enjoy the topic much and your "role makes you quiet".. that will not push attention from yourself. Quite the opposite, I'd say. Its a cop out indeed. I feel there is more than we see at the surface with your recent defense of yourself.

 

I am also salty that night one got us nowhere in terms of scum searching, so I'll give it a go.

[Crychon]

Look at your avatar... and I can think of numerous ways an arrow can be used. Makes more sense than a green light lighting up the night.

 

I don't know. I think Green Lantern makes much more sense than Green Arrow for that.

 

Lanterns and light and all that...

 

Plus the Green Arrow is kind of a shadowy dude. At least on the show... I don't know if that's different in the comics.

[Tha Black Phenom]

If we are indeed talking about a night skip, I'd say it could go either way. It's very probably a scum action, but it could be town if there is unforseen context behind the move, perhaps a questionable judgment call all the same but with intent.

 

I'm interested but not sold on the Paws wagon just yet. Going to observe some more as this pans out.

No. I know these votes are mostly to do with previous victories. People are scared of me because I slid under the radar so well in carnival.

There are other people who are low posters, not being voted for.

 

I don't see how a random vote for Jaded "backs me into a corner." All votes are random votes right now.

 

And more than we see at the surface? Are you kidding me right now? This is my 5th post and you think there's more than you see at the surface? I haven't posted enough for you to even read into.

 

And I was quiet clearly because I missed most of the phase first of all. Regardless of being uninterested in superheroes.

 

Your post seriously reads as someone trying to make their bandwagon scum vote, not look scummy and look like you have reason to vote that way.

In fact,

11 people have less posts than me.

One of then being Jaded, who has 1 post, and is who I voted for

Look at your avatar... and I can think of numerous ways an arrow can be used. Makes more sense than a green light lighting up the night.

I hadn't considered Green Arrow 'cause it felt like more of a superpower thing but now that you mention it, a flash bomb arrow would probably work.

I don't know. I think Green Lantern makes much more sense than Green Arrow for that.

 

Lanterns and light and all that...

 

Plus the Green Arrow is kind of a shadowy dude. At least on the show... I don't know if that's different in the comics.

IMO It depends on the writer, same with Batman, I suppose. Sometimes he's dark and brooding, sometimes not so much. Granted I'm not really up to date on the GA lore (is Connor Hawke even alive anymore?) so I'm not one to ask, but he does have tricked-out arrows for every occasion.

Not an expert on DC by any means but what about Martian Manhunter? I don’t think he wears green but is green.

Yeah he doesn't "wear" green so I didn't consider him

[michgcs]

Paws posted once to say that she doesn't know anything about comics or action movies so I'm not sure why she is being scum read.

This is basically how I feel right now. She might get defensive at times but at the moment there's nothing that screams out scum to me.
