Huh? Why are you claiming now but didn't do so when you were in very real danger of getting CFDd last EoD?

I was hoping this would motivate them to show up but eh, Tuatara should be dying to the filter next turn. I can't really see past my Chameleon suspicions at the moment; I don't buy their progression on either Meerkat or Iguana. Especially their treatment of Meerkat here has felt like they were aiming for a misexe at the start of the cycle then awkwardly pedaled back when they realized a good chunk of people were v!reading Meerkat or at least not comfortable exeing them today. Their progression on Iguana, even when explained, is not convincing me. @Magenta Albatross what conclusions did you glean off that VCA you posted earlier? @Amber Vulture why are you v!reading Heron? @Saffron Iguana how are you currently reading Chameleon?

Could you elaborate?

No, you’re right, the real reason I’m not down for a Meerkat vote today largely pertains to a semi-confident case Mouse made for them to me in PMs regarding their identity (in Mouse’s opinion) and the meta there. Since this is ultimately an anonymous game I would rather not bring such arguments to the thread if I can avoid them, so I kind of just used the above as a means to declare my stance.

Mouse’s judgement off PMing with Meerkat was that they seemed genuine and he was leaning slight v by the end there I think. Does e!Meerkat NK Mouse right when he was getting around to actually solidly village reading them? Wouldn’t prefer a Meerkat execution today probably.

Heron, the only world in which elims attempt to perform a WGG via a mistborn/coinshot kill is one where they were unaware of the write-ups differentiating the elim NK from the other kills (I find this to be rather unlikely). Otherwise it’s optimal to use the NK for the WGG and the other kill on Mouse, if you’re speculating both kills having come from elims. I was quite obvious about having Hyena in my suspect pool, especially in PMs. In fact, if you read the EoD you’ll see that I tried to consolidate the exe on Hyena as well in order to move the exe away from iguana and meerkat (who I thought posted something in the moment that implied they had a strong role) then backed away when those trains were more or less gone by virtue of Hyena’s train gaining double the strength. So I ended on Chameleon who had been my primary suspect for the past two turns. Not that it would have affected the outcome of the day, which I did not have a problem with. And speaking of Chameleon: That’s fair, but what caused your read to change during the rollover? You had them as village in your readslist after rollover. I’m concerned about Cream Tautara disappearing right after I defended them. The timing is a little too convenient and they’ve been unresponsive to PMs too. I still want to stick by my initial village read on Vulture… Nothing has really occurred to change that and their posts today should be telling either way, now that they are under the spotlight.

Chameleon could you please explain your Iguana read and how it developed from yesterday to now?

Sometimes log books have tasks for the next account holders. Protecting the salmon is one of them.

@Mint Heron I know you said you thought my response was village, which is fine, but can you please answer my initial question? What led you e!read me when you read through D1? I rescind my village read on Tuatara and possibly Zebra.

Chameleon I’m back here.

The Iguana wagon stinks but I have not backread the posts I missed. Edit: Hyena for consolidation.

Chameleon How’s this for science?

How would an elim have reacted, in your opinion?

@Sapphire Elephant @Mint Heron I think Scorpion is likely a villager and agree with Flamingo that this wagon should probably dissolve. Are you against a Hyena/Meerkat vote?

This is a very strange perspective to me, probably because I don't exactly follow. I was going to agree with Swan that your strong reaction to Vulture's vote is perhaps more entitled than an elim would want to be seen as, and I was about to unvote you until I saw this: So was this post feigned? What was the test exactly? Tempted to call this a disconnected villager. Light read. ... I know who you are now I think.

I like Kangaroo.

Heron and Albatross competing for who can post the most long winded NAI play-by-play recount of the thread: @Mint Heron why do you think I’m an elim? It wasn’t clear in your post; apologies if I’ve missed something I’m currently preoccupied but skimmed through the spoiler you posted and read the section on me.

Though I need to ask, @Quartz Zebra have you been preparing your posts elsewhere and copy/pasting them here?

Salmon Meerkat why did you v-read Falcon for…following a vote? Very light v-read on Zebra for villagery clumsiness All I recall from Albatross is them summarizing the thread happenings, so I wouldn’t hate pressure there. Don’t hate Hyena pressure either, but the day is young. @Amber Vulture why did you switch to OOC posts right after I pointed out RP-centric playstyles are hard to v-read generally? Was that a conscious decision

That actually does help a bit. I...think. I shall (figuratively) sleep on it.

I think your posts have generally been over explaining things, to put it simply, in a way that doesn't seem instinctive and/or natural. Let me know if I'm misreading you for something to do with your CR. About that Swan post, it pinged me originally for how it seems to want to show that you're having deep thoughts about the game which seemed feigned to me on a gut-level. Add to that how the post starts off saying you think Swan is v, then goes in depth explaining how Swan could be elim. Again, pinged by this because it feels like you're leaving the door open for uncertain villagers to keep paranoiding on Swan and giving them reasons to do so. I also disliked you suspecting Penguin earlier in the turn & tying them to Ostrich, which you have now rectified so I'm feeling a bit better on that front. Unrelated, but I think Vulture and Tuatara are both villagers who elims will eventually get misexed if alive in late-game. Please do not sleep walk into these exes. Vulture has an RP-centric style which is hard to village read for some but their thoughts have been aligning with my own quite a bit and even when they don't, they feel organic. Tuatara has been talking about anything but the game and asked me what I had for dinner in PMs. Their play so far has been devoid of elim agenda to an extreme level. Obviously, do the due diligence to both but I'm pretty sure they're just villagers (less certain on Tuatara but still) and I can bet they will get misexed later anyway.

Penguin could be a villager (this is a PM-based read) but my read on Hyena has not changed. Edit: Pearl Chameleon why did you make this post?

Bad news: My laptop broke. Going full mobile mode now. Bad news: Looks like RNGesus hates us. Good news: ?? This is bad. Unless you were not online during rollover, I really do not think idling on a single vote wagon is a good look. Considering how easily emotional allomancy can affect wagons, I think we can do better than this. I also think Pearl Chameleon is probably an elim.

I would upvote this if I could! I'm afraid I cannot be here from now up till after rollover, seeing as Hyena has not posted anything new I am disinclined to move my vote. I would also add Azure Mouse to village reads, although with a caveat which may or may not simply self-resolve soon. Edit: If anybody has questions for me specifically, please @ me with them because if I am able to check in before rollover I might not be able to read the whole thread but will try to answer questions

Some quick miscellaneous thoughts: I’m an Amber Vulture fan. Been nodding along to a lot of what they’re posting. Melon Dingo’s vote stinks, but they are blatantly aware of it and aren’t trying to hide the fact that it stinks, which I can respect. Charcoal Hyena’s vote stinks equally as much, but the bolded bit below doesn’t sit right with me: Justifying it as a poke vote this late into the turn with an added qualifier is not a great look. And the phrase above the vote comes off as slightly performative as well. The two image posting accounts currently occupy the same indistinguishable space in my brain. Hoping to rectify this soon. Edit: Saffron Iguana is perhaps a tentative village lean. Vibe-based.
