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.

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.

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 don't want to be leader, so this works for me.
I mean, I already said this, but let's say it again as I catch up. I don't want to be responsible for a high pressure choice d1. Whether or not it's really high pressure is debatable, but it will feel high pressure for me and honestly, hard pass.
I'm leaning toward voting Fandorin myself, or possibly Natiko, but who knows, maybe by the time I get to post 392034 or whatever, they'll have said something off.
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.
I 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

If we were to let flavor determine this decision you should already be dead by this point my good man
That's the kind of blind faith I deserve
Where else will you find one amongst us who actually practices what they preach?
I am your ideal candidate

I'm in your debt so you know I have to work my way out of it somehow.
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.
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?
What in the dingdong is happening here?
I was legit looking for this gif the other day. Thank you.
Color me shocked.
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 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.
Maybe because we are just waiting for Sophia to explain her vote? And why she changed it again to Flux.
Hardly anything in Terra's posts to Flux give any indication of what he himself thinks. All he did was prod.
Sorian, meet the people who are actually trying to look busy. :p
This is the first time one of you asked a question. All the posts were either one liners or gifs.
Her posts, almost back to back, almost certainly did not constitute a change of opinion or an inconsistency. It's something strategic. And this?
Feels super unbelievable. She's been making targeted strikes since the thread started.
I just did follow up.
I only just now caught up to the end of the thread. Chill out.
I used you to point at an issue (and to hold you a bit more accountable since I didn't quote the others).
I though that with my gif it was pretty obvious that I was hoping for some explanation.
Maybe I was wrong, so let's do it the official way:
Sophia Why did you voted Blarg? And why did you changed your vote so quickly for Flux?
Ugh. Outside of GIF mafia, I haven't played in months. Feels weird. Rusty.
So far, on the leadership front, I would not vote:
Geno
Faddy
Fran
^^these for meta reasons
Sophia - is the one person who seems to be moving with an agenda today
Sorian - though Sorian has struck me as pretty townie so far, I do not trust my judgment of Sorian at all, period.
and I would consider voting:
Fandorin, who's so far been kinda where I feel like I am
cabot, similarly
Stan, meta - Stan will go with the majority, I believe, unless someone enrages him
Zubz - also meta, but just because I have seen Zubz rethink a position and change their mind before, but honestly, that's rare in our community. For a game of argument, we are bad about changing our minds.
^^these are subject to change if they start acting suspect
No opinion yet on others for leadership considerations.

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 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.
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.
Oh, and while Flux strikes me as townie, not sure I'd vote there for leader - would rather see what happens when the scrutiny is off him to see if that read sticks.
I wanted to pressure him. Blarg's slipped up in past games when voted for.
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 said "hardly".
The post you quoted still gives little information about Terra, who he would vote for if elected, etc.
I've been scrutinizing Flux so much because I found his stance to be concerning. So I pushed him on it. And then I pushed Fran on it. It's something that stood out to me in a game in its early stages with very little info to go on.
Nothing Terra has said has particularly stood out to me, therefore I have had no reason to interact with him. Just been watching, as I watch everyone.
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)
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.
Yeah, my bad. I thought you did but I got you confused with Geno.
I don't see how that post his a guard drop. It reads about as surface level as the one where he said he'd vote the lowest post count.
that's fair
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?
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.
10 pgs Jesus Tapdancing Fuck its gonna be a real one of these games aint it.
Im at work all day and yall are posting way to much for me to catch up on during breaks so dont expect to meaningfully hear from me for a while.

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.
