I said that i will put a vote on Racer until he answers and that is what i did. Racer change in playing style is very interesting, this is why i'm trying to communicate with him as much as possible. I thought he might be mafia based on the huge change he made before i saw Dan mentioning it. I'm not very happy it got out so quickly because i think we could have handled it better.

I'm definitely not happy seeing racer asking something that has been answered before, but i don't think it was strategy. Honestly, if you repeat answers that are answered, it only looks bad for you and this is something mafia would be very careful about.

Based on his answers i do feel a bit better about him now. He was my biggest maf lean before last few posts.

And do you feel the same about Orange?

J-Cop: any thoughts on my play now? Who's your top suspect? Why aren't you voting anyone?

Kyle: any change on your Racer suspicion? What's your read on TYG?

Shock, how do you feel about TvK now? You had him as (7, 6).

Who are you most confident is mafia, Tyler?

Of course his posting style would change if he was maf, he's under suspicion.  I spent the whole last game as maf trying to adapt. I'm not saying racer is maf even though I think he is.  I'm just pointing out that I can see him change his style both ways.

I forgot you were the one to make the large post about Dan, my apologies, I completely forgot about that.
What do you mean "in my forum"?
Thanks for answering my questions.

Heading out now, here's my current thoughts in case I'm not able to log in again before day ends.

I think we should lynch one of the inactives (Sam, kyle, Bradon, Orange). I currently prefer Sam because his activity matches classic lurking scum really closely: joke post early on, disappear until called out, conveniently pop back up to make an incredibly obvious read that many have already made, promise more activity, then disappear again. If he starts actually contributing, then I'd move onto kyle, then Bradon, then Orange. (kyle's few posts strike me as more scummy than the others because they're commenting on current discussions without adding anything, whereas Bradon and Orange seem just purely inactive.)

I don't want a Vinnie or Racer lynch today. At this point it's hard to tell whether they're inexperienced mafia or inexperienced town, and as Shock pointed out, if it's the latter it would be pretty easy for scum to hop on their lynches. They're posting a lot, which makes them more useful than the inactives regardless of their alignment. If they're town, we get info from how others interact with their posts, and if they're mafia, based on their posting habits so far they seem pretty likely to either slip up eventually or get nervous and stop posting. If either of those happen, then I'd be on board with lynching them.

I feel the same way about Dan. He hasn't been as suspicious as Vinnie or Racer but some of his posts have struck me as off (like his very early attempt to connect Shock + Racer as maf buddies, which felt like a huge stretch at that point in the game), but I'm not yet confident that they make him maf, and he's posting enough that I don't think he's a good lynch for today.

I'm absolutely against a Tom lynch today unless he shows up and claims Town Consort.

Clark has been extremely scummy so far, although his post on page 16 was a little bit of an improvement. He hasn't commented on any of the interactions in the game yet, just inactives. I wanna hear his thoughts on what's actually going on in the game. So far this feels like mafia Clark. If all the inactives show up, I'd be down for a Clark lynch.

Yoshistar is the only other one I can think of who I'd be ok with lynching today.

@kyle
@sportsguy

What are your opinions on Dan being maf? Do you agree with my post?

Sam F has 3 votes, let's add a 2nd one to [vote]orange.exe[/vote].

I expect to hear more from sam/orange/brandon trio. Lets hope you guys wake up while i sleep.

I don’t think Sam was like this last game. I mean, yeah, he was scummy and inactive, but he actually had a reason for it IIRC (school or something?). This time around, he actually posted “Time to get serious.”, “I will be more active from here on out.” and still hasn’t done shit. Here’s his 2nd post out of 3, the only relevant one:

Asks Orange to post, but doesn’t vote him to pressure (at this point Orange had 1 vote, mine, I think). I would expect Orange to post after that if they were m/m, though.

I don't mind that he didn't pressure him with a vote.  What I don't like is that he said he would be more active from now on and then disappeared again.  But either way, I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt for day one since he still reminds of himself from the previous game, and there are at least a handful of other players who look bad right now.  I have no problem with people pressuring him, but I don't think we should lynch him D1.

Sorry for not getting back to people. I'm AFK for a bit, I was chatting with the neighbors and having a few drinks and now we're about to watch a movie. Will be back later. I'm still in favor of a Zarkov lynch.
