I feel conflicted on that read because I was misreading some interactions, but rac didn't made a lot to make me think he is town, currently I wouldn't vote for him but I don't think I would like him to be lynched either.

You're kinda right... But that's specifically because of this modifier. I wouldn't trust myself with the final vote. At least not now.
I think it takes someone with a strong conviction to be elected the leader and take the final shot at who should be lynched on Day 1.5. Voting for a lynch in a group is one thing, but having the final say?
Well, as I'm typing that, I realize that makes me sound more suspicious.
'Cause I don't like them.
Not really. But I'm definitely going to side-eye anyone who really wants to be the leader during this day phase.
Yeah, it's typical for Day 1. However, even on Day 1, the decision to lynch is based on the conversations we've had and whatever info might have come out. So the one who'll pull the trigger won't be doing it at random, and they should have some target in mind if they aim to be elected. Or else, why were they even made the leader?
I do, as I've shown in previous games. But when the spotlight's on you? I dunno, it's gonna be a weird ass feeling for whoever gets elected and does the final vote in the end, and it's something I never liked before.
I wouldn't trust myself with the final vote on any Day phase. It's a lot of power and responsibility. A lot of this is because the game just started, so we're still sussing out everyone's positions and it's wishy-washy because, really, at this point it should be.
I guess I'd have no problem being elected once I have a more solid position.
So then, why do you want to be the leader?
I'm fine with the leader mechanic, but I do not want to partake in pitting my name in the ring to be elected. Hell, the more people who want to be elected, the noisier and messier it will get. I'll definitely be voting for the one I think should make the final decision.
I always vote for the ones I believe would be the best to vote for, without caring for consensus.
I mean, now you're taking two different circumstances and mashing them together. I have had strong conviction for who to lynch on D1 before. I do not have that right now, and I may not have it later. Even if I do, I think I'd rather appeal to the leader instead of representing everyone on my own.
And sure, I agree that the leader doesn't need to have a direction themselves and, really, anyone who will give us the most information works. But I think that, naturally, those who will will be the ones who have something they want to achieve.
There are already people who want to be leader. Everyone wanting to be would be a mess of dumb "vote for me" posts. I'd rather have a small pool of candidates to observe instead of a wide array which dilutes any reasoning behind the elected.
Sophia and yeah, you did give a read but you also quoted me and then gave an opposite read to mine with reasoning that had nothing to do with where my read came from so I reiterated since it seemed like you were either trying to challenge my read or convince me.
I don't want to be leader, so this works for me.And how would this situation be different? Her past performance is definitely a strike against her being leader.
Since you've been reading Flux closely, what's your take on Terra? He seems like the more obvious counterpart to Flux instead of Fran.For Fran.
While I do not agree necessarily with his stance, I feel better about Flux than I do about Fran because he took the time to answer questions and explain his reasoning. I don't feel like you did this particularly well, Fran, and instead got defensive and offered no explanations until pushed. That is the difference in my reads of the two of you.
For what it's worth, I feel better about you after talking to you a bit. I don't think I'd lynch you anymore. However, I am concerned because this isn't how you normally play. Not sure what to make of that yet.
If we were to let flavor determine this decision you should already be dead by this point my good manI feel all this banter on who deserves to be elected, trifling. I am the protagonist. Why don't you all vote tasty for once and let the flavour determine this decision? You're all so rude
Except Faddy
Faddy's who voted for me, right?
I won't even bother checking if I'm right

Oh, maybe I should rethink that possible Natiko vote.
Half of the Flux posts you just quoted were part of a discussion between him and Terra. Did Terra really draw all of that from Flux without having any substance himself?How so? Nothing he's said has stood out to me in particular. Maybe because I partially agree with his stance, maybe because he only has a few posts of substance.
I am interested to see how he votes today, however. His initial self-vote seemed a little off. I'm not sure if that was intended to be a joke or not.
The lack of direction from Blargonaut feels scummy. Usually when he's town he tries a little bit, but when he's scum he either tries a lot or not at all. Hmm...
Vote: Blargonaut
I believe in you, Blargonaut-senpai. Deliver us from this aimless direction!
Yes I have a difference of opinion on Sophia's play. I don't think her behaviour has been scummy and has actively gone against what I know to be her scum tenancies.
I find your argument about her unconvincing.
I agree with this post, though I think scum might be hesitant to push a scum partner too hard for leader. But I definitely see a few of the scum appealing to the entire group to become leader.Disagree. I think scum would definitely want the leader role since it is a free mislynch. Plus sitting back is only going to draw attention to themselves for being inactive and then getting shot on day 1 because the town leader wants to make a virtuous kill.
You're just the last in a long line but why does this keep getting quoted with no follow up? It's the epitome of low hanging fruit and hardly the problematic part of her posts in that area.

Maybe because we are just waiting for Sophia to explain her vote? And why she changed it again to Flux.
In my experience Sophia is more likely to be self conscious when she is mafia so her being inconsistent or at least quickly changing stances is kind of townie for her.
You're not wrong, but I'm also trying to get a read on my beloved Blargonaut-senpai too~
I'm trying to think of what game it was... but Blarg was scum in it and this reminds me of how he played that game.
I just did follow up.You're just the last in a long line but why does this keep getting quoted with no follow up? It's the epitome of low hanging fruit and hardly the problematic part of her posts in that area.
I just did follow up.
I only just now caught up to the end of the thread. Chill out.
This is the first time one of you asked a question. All the posts were either one liners or gifs.
I mean, whatever, that's fine I guess, but sometimes I'm gonna just react as I read and then not really say more until I get to the end and have seen other reactions/developments. You're gonna get what you're gonna get.I used you to point at an issue (and to hold you a bit more accountable since I didn't quote the others).
I don't buy it. Terra put himself in clear opposition to Flux with posts like the one below - he definitely went further beyond mere prodding.Hardly anything in Terra's posts to Flux give any indication of what he himself thinks. All he did was prod.
Either purposefully or inadvertedly, you never gave Terra even a passing mention, and that seems weird to me when you're already scrutinizing Flux so much with only a few hours into the game.That last bit is a fair position. But I still don't like the "I do not have that right now" blurb. As I said before, unless someone has exclusive info, it would be more suspicious than indicative of a proper leader for one to have a "strong conviction" less than an hour after a game commences. There's next to no chance the person who ends up being leader 47 hours from now currently knows exactly who they're voting for without fail.
I just see the idea of putting yourself down so hard to be more suspect than those attempting to elevate themselves this early into the day.
Sophia Why did you voted Blarg? And why did you changed your vote so quickly for Flux?
How is voting him for leader applying pressure? While it would be funny to vote for Blarg in the Blarg game, I'm pretty confident that most of us would not want to leave the day one vote in his hands regardless, so it's probably not going to go anywhere.I wanted to pressure him. Blarg's slipped up in past games when voted for.

Are you talking about me? I never voted myself. In fact I called out those who did self vote (although that has nothing to do with my read as I feel ever so slightly better about those who self voted rather than choosing to do the inverse)How so? Nothing he's said has stood out to me in particular. Maybe because I partially agree with his stance, maybe because he only has a few posts of substance.

lol you think I was being serious on D1? Soph pls
My real target would be the second-place candidate because obvs. anyone that popular so as to have threatened me would immediately need to die upon my seizing of Power.
Yeah, my bad. I thought you did but I got you confused with Geno.Are you talking about me? I never voted myself.

It got me an interesting reaction back here that reminded me of one game where Blarg was scum.
These kind of posts from Blarg where he drops his guard are far more valuable for reading him then the semi-random-but-not-so-random stuff he posts.
that's fairYeah, my bad. I thought you did but I got you confused with Geno.
I don't think that's any evidence of Blarg dropping his guard, nor am I particularly convinced by the first when you're all "I dunno, some game, some time." Do you think he's telling you the truth? If so, why?It got me an interesting reaction back here that reminded me of one game where Blarg was scum.

I'm in your debt so you know I have to work my way out of it somehow.
If I remember correctly, Febe got d1 lynched in... Dark Souls? No, something with a flip, but around that time - for a similar entrance. He was town. I remember 'cause I went kinda hard on it, too, thinking along these lines. So I'd say see if there's another reason to suspect him. I mean, keep it on the list or whatever, because that was a while ago, but I wouldn't make it my #1.If I had to vote from someone (lynch vote not vote for a leader), Flux and Soph stand out to me as obvious picks (the former for stated reasons and the latter for a more erratic approach), but as I was skimming back a bit, Fireblend caught my eye as well. He stands out more so for coming in acting so surprised at how many posts there were, then he proceeded to write some fluff and dip when his initial post seemed to imply that he would at least catch up and provide some thoughts on the events that had transpired. I'm not used to seeing such a weak opening from him.
