The "I shan't bow to the majority but they have my ear" -party has many members at this point. Why is Yarr Bae the leader the party needs over her competitors?
For me personally, I think I'd be able to get a read on the other leaders in more normal ways, whereas having a personal connection to Pirate Bae means I could use an extra bit to get a read on her to leave my biases behind. I think it's a similar reasoning to why Brazil wants to vote for Fandorin. Also, I've been caught handing easy Town Reads to players I know in the past and then having them turn out to be Scum, and I'd rather not continue to do that.
Random lunch time thoughts, I was cooling on cabot this morning but wasn't really able to put a finger on why, feeling has since gone away. Still think voting outside of myself would probably be Stanley to be honest, he seems normal and is a good wild card for what he'd do. I'd also put Monkey up for leader just for the lolz to be honest, I don't see scum there and how people handle her feels like it would say a lot to me.
Kyan just hit a good question to Fantomas I hadn't really thought of so that's cool too.
Still down on SophiaCee. Trying to feel out Faddy and Natiko since I don't know what to make of it. And Fran being inconsistent reads a little odd but seems up his alley to be honest, I usually find his play uneven.

Am I supposed to just not agree with reads that are similar to mine? I said earlier that I thought Fran was suspicious to me and I think that Brazil post kind of nails what I'm feeling. Fanto made some solid points about Ketkat too, and I'm still pretty nervous about her especially because she's playing similar to a game I played with her where she was scum.
Also, I wanted to get your thoughts on this a bit more, because I have been feeling weird thoughts about Chuggernaut too. That's why I just put him in my "Keeping An Eye On Them" list.
Personally, I can't quite put my finger on it, but you are reading a bit scummy to me in a tone way I guess? I'll have to go back and grab some quotes, but I remember there was an alarm that went off in my head when we were chatting a bit last night when I subbed in.
Man, people always think my tone is off early game. This was the argument scum Fanto used against me last time we played together too. That's just how I do
I suppose right now it would be Fran since I share similar perspectives with him, and was prodded similarly to how I was for his stance on the election. I find Monkey reasonable enough, too.
Lol, was it? I thought I was saying that you weren't scum hunting or something.
Anyways, yeah, we only had the one interaction, but it was more the overall way you reacted to me coming in the game. Like at first, you were all "Hey, Fanto's here" and stuff, but you weren't making any posts about the game itself. Then I make a big post, you're still nowhere to be found, I prod you a bit for your thoughts, and you come at me with this:
That's a lot of words to tell me you have a null read on Fran.
And then yeah, you basically just reaffirmed my read on Ketkat to me, but you didn't give me any of your own thoughts on her, you just agreed with mine.
No, just wanted to point it out but it's also what I expect from Fran on you so that's really as far as I go.
When I'm scum, I also quote gut and tone and feelings a lot too. This is not shade, this is an accusation.
I 4 1 am not about to begin a cross-reference when this has been 20 pages of nothing but family reunion scandal-mongering about how they'll ruin next year's when we've all just gotten here for this one.
It's the impression you give when you agree with someone instead of expressing your opinion. Echoing someone else's opinion just does not feel as genuine to me. When you have little to add to the argument, it does not convince me that you really think the way you say you think.
Chuggs became a sidetrack from the minor complaint I had towards Monkey earlier. Monkey follows her Fando read with wanting him as the leader, what convinces Chugg to join the cause. That rang bells, "Where have I seen this before?" I searched for Chugg's posts and saw few others like that: posts where he presents the argument someone else makes for him. He gives air to the arguments without really adding into them or taking the responsibility for them.
I'm still of the mind all of you are wrong about Sophia/Cee Cee and there is definitely mafia in the group scum reading her.
At least you had the first and explained reason. And your stances on the how we should be using the leadership role make me feel better about you here.
Yes, that's the other thing I noted about Chuggs that I forgot, it was before I came in the game. I definitely agree with all of that.
Fran, the more you talk about this, the weirder it seems. It seems like you're digging deeper than you'd have to to explain something that shouldn't be hard to explain.
As I clealry said previously, my criticism was pointing at the difference between the initial reactions you had to turmoil and malus saying the same thing. turmoil only dropped that idea after you'd already reacted amenably to his initial suggestion, so that doesn't explain anything. And you did go after malus as soon as he shared his idea - he proposed it on post #759, and you confronted him about it on #764. Once again, what happened after that doesn't explain anything because your initial reactions are what I'm questioning.
It feels arbitrary, and the fact that you didn't simply explain yourself by saying something like "I changed my mind between then and now" is adding on top of it.
Nah, it was tone. I was being a bit aggressive early game, so it's not exactly the same though.
Anyway, that's not a null read on Fran. That's a lean scum lean for Fran, but I didn't feel strong enough about it to kill him today. That feeling has gotten stronger throughout the day though. I dunno, day 1 is hard so I'm always afraid about committing to a read this early because it's a lot of jumping on small slights that people make and hoping you get scum. Even though I mostly agree with your ketkat read I'm still not sure I would go after her because I don't like going after people for weird stuff they say about voting on day 1
At least you came with something more concrete right before I posted that by pointing at something specific on Chuggs but a lot of your content before then was random names followed by "it just feels right" or referencing tone without actually saying what that means.
Looking back at the player list a few things jumped out at me:
Zubz Giant Panda Kawl
You three have maybe left the smallest impression on me of all three players. I honestly can't recall much of anything from this group - care to share some more thoughts? What do you think of the current leader..leaders?
Fireblend Terraforce
Both of you seem to have blended into the background a bit more as of late. How are you feeling about your votes at this stage? Who would you pop given the chance?

I was thinking this and considering going through each of his posts so far but then I got sucked into a meeting. I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed this.
I don't mean this as a slight, but I had to double-check to see if Giant Panda was actually in the game. None of their posts so far managed to activate my synapses, tbh. Like
But Fandorin said something early on about liking what Panda had said - why's that?
Yeah?

2019 goal: believing in me as much as Natiko seems to.
What stuck out to me was you following my vote on Fando, specifically.
And to be clear, I mean he doesn't post much early, but pops in with decently Townish thoughts from time to time. I'd maybe have to reread to see what exactly he's said so far, but I don't remember anything feeling too odd.
Quick question. What's an easy way to search posts from an individual poster in a thread?
That was more just a put a vote down vote then anything tbh. Fando seems like he wouldn't be a bad pick though and you did kind of sell me on that in our exchange. Don't know what else to say about that. I see your point though.

Giant Panda being barely here feels like a very Giant Panda thing to do. I don't think that would be a good kill

Feels like you really hit the ground running this game and coming off of playing with scum Brazil the difference seems more stark than it even normally might. I have other town reads (Cabot and Fire though those got a little shakier, AB because his catch up posts feel genuine and like something scum probably wouldn't bother continuing to do when they weren't significantly engaged, and Monkey though I'm beginning to realize she's good at faking her town demeanor so that's a bit more TBD) but of them I would feel best about you pulling the trigger.
Ive been sick all day and finally decided to go to bed, so don't expect many posts from me for the rest of the day. That said, I'm wary about Geno, maybe Sophia/CeeCee, Brazil since he doesn't seem to be playing at his usual level (unless that's changed in the last couple pages I haven't read). And Zubz and Fran due to what I said earlier about them coming out of the gate saying they didn't want to be leaders. Got plenty of blond spots, Ketkat, Terra, Pirate Bae and Natiko come to mind when thinking who I'd like to look at next.
In KH Mafia he was more obstinate as scum, quick to be defensive, and he didn't produce as many 'original thoughts' when scum hunting. I suppose he could have adapted again - but I currently feel pretty good about him.
I mean, it's Blarg. Making noise seems to be what he does. I really don't why you would scum read him at this stage of the game for it.
Malus strikes me as town. He's been called out as posting a lot of stats and not much else as both scum and town, and his play here comes across as a genuine attempt to evolve his play style.
Do y'all think a scum GP would be any different?
I'm not saying let's lynch him or anything. I'm just wondering at giving one person a pass for not doing much but not others. Plenty of people don't do much d1.
Not really, it's just more that I wouldn't put him in the same category as the other people Natiko was calling out there. I kind of rambled on through a few posts there when I should have just made it all in one post.
I dunno. Never seen scum GP. I guess he could be, but I don't see it being the best place to look.
Do you call this confrontation?:
I'm just asking a question and giving him an alternative. I'm not even saying that his plan was bad or anything until after he keep pushing on with it.
I don't see the inconsistences: Turmoil said that choosing between 2 targets could be good but maybe difficult to do, I said that it wouldn't be so difficult and he just decided to drop it anyway. Malus gives his plan, I asked why he think it would be the best plan and he keeps pushing with it. At this point is when I said that I don't agree. I just wanted to let them talk about why they though it's was a good idea.
If you want me to say that I changed my mind in the middle, ok. I changed my mind in the middle in the same way that you voted for Fando, said that you didn't trust him but kept your vote.
