Magenta Albatross

Whilst I'd still like some game-related content from Sunburnt Toucan, This might be my last post before end of cycle, so I will vote for Axolotl and if they can tell us font is seriously their only reason for voting Pearl Chameleon.

I'm pretty sure I made my stance clear on the lynch but if not, look at my posts today. I think just passing off a lot of posts as NAI is not a good idea. At least until we get thoughts on the matter from the person. Or maybe posts can be NAI for the moment but we do get to learn more as we progress and we learn more alignments from deaths. I agree with the rest and beagle even explained his reasoning which looks better for him in my opinion. Scorpion, I felt yesterday that you were trying to be under the radar even though you were posting. I get a better feel from your posting today, and that you seem to be solving. I am null on indigo at the moment and liked some of their thoughts but could you go deeper into your reasoning for voting them. Thinking back on this, it seems like Toucan is just here today to mention inactive people and vote them and then remove the vote on their explanation. I realize a few people have been doing this, namely beagle, to get people to be more active. But the above post in particular seems to be implying that players will get active when they're voted upon or mentioned. Reading through, why this stood out and not beagle's, because this is the only thing Toucan has done this cycle and only with me. If possible, I'd like their thoughts on the game state and some reads on people. For now, sunburnt toucan. Also, I'm getting a better feel from Onyx as I am in a Pm with them unless I am overlooking a few things. However, it's enough to make me not vote there for today. Want to hear more from @Sage Kangaroo, @Violet Axolotl. Violet's vote felt a bit bandwagony on coral day 1.

I can't quote for some reason so temporary measures. Night 1, Opal Lion: 'Sorry for the inactivity during the Day, busy weekend got the best of me An Edgedancer was lynched? That's not good, I suppose. I haven't read the Day cycle in detail, so I don't have any insight to offer yet, but I do agree that the eliminators would be more inclined towards a D1 lynch. What I'm not sure about is whether they'd start it or help it move once a favorable lynch started forming' I think elims would definitely want a D1 lynch. But in most cases so do the villagers. In elims case, they could easily blend in with poke votes and just make an environment of voting or just stay out of it altogether. I highly doubt they'd try to start a lynch though, as it would put them on the map and a target to look into in the next few days but not impossible, especially if they plan to go deep. Help move a lynch along is more likely, as even a vote or two would help. But again, with this many players, if enough players are active and voting a villager, would they feel the need to get involved or not. Villagers want a lynch as well as many of us expressed the opinion that it will generate discussion and sometimes, we can see if there is effort to prevent a certain lynch and favour another. I forget the name, but one animal mentioned that elims would want any lynch as long as it isn't an elim and I'd agree on that. Therefore, the play of trying to swing the lynch one way or another will most likely happen when there is an elim that could be possibly lynched. Although for D1, I feel that didn't happen. However, the melon dingo lynch seemed a bit off-side personally, as I was inactive towards the end. Another thing that I want to mention is the talk between Vulture and Ivory dragonfly night 1. First impression was two villagers talking to each other but I think it's possible it could be village/elim interaction, though I doubt it's ever elim/elim. Unless the purpose was distancing. The reason I think is because of the topic of new players and not lynching them. I can't really see a world where that happens between two elims but if it ever is, then the purpose is giving an an excuse not to vote a newer player, which everyone knows by now is Ivory dragonfly. As I have a village lean on dragonfly, I doubt it. I think it could only really be elim/village but apart from this interaction, can't really recall anything of vulture so maybe I'm looking too much into the conversation. That's it from night 1.

Hey just here to say I'm alive and well and going to be more active today. I'm not all caught up with everything so will be going through the thread and putting out some thoughts. To be completely honest, Day 1, I was in the same boat as many. Although I wanted a lynch to take place, the options weren't anything I was feeling too strongly about. why I didn't vote coral was because I felt that there a few people mentioning their suspicions on coral but they didn't seem to have many votes which struck me as odd as it could be an attempt by elims to cast shade on them but not be at the forefront of voting them and letting villagers take the lead. My vote went on scorpion because their tone seemed lighthearted but they had put poke votes out and it felt it could be an elim trying to be active but not really do much. Just existing. But I feel that way as well right now so I can't blame anyone else for posting little. My reasons weren't great but I didn't see anything convincing about the wagons from anyone else either, being day 1,so I justified the scorpion vote in my head on that basis, that if I thought there was an elim from the one posting it could be scorpion. i apologise for the low content posts but apart from having time during the first 24 hours of cycle one, I've been rather busy till now. The initial posts were mainly people just coming into the thread and for a while, it was non-game related stuff. The first actual discussion was whether there should be a lynch or not. I remember commenting on that and expressing my thoughts. When votes started coming in, I voted for the person I felt more sure about than others even though the reasons weren't all that great at that time. I don't want to cast a vote yet until I've read through the thread. For now, I only have a few village leans which I'm not willing to vote at all and some where I won't vote for today.

I agree that lynching inactives doesn't give us a lot of information but the same can't be said for lynching an inactive elim. I mean it helps us get closer to our victory condition. I know you didn't mean it in the sense that lynching an elim doesn't help us at all but that it doesn't help us information wise which is true. I just wanted to point it out incase someone takes the wrong meaning, if that is indeed what you meant. However, the pinch hitters part makes total sense and I agree. If they stay inactive then we get a pinch hitter and hopefully the activity increases. I'm taking this to mean that everyone voting separately on different people is a bad idea. I guess at this point we can't really expect a consensus since not everyone has posted, like you said, and second, I feel quite a few people have been giving a village vibe so far. But there should still be a lynch, I think, as we can learn a lot. Especially from the dead player's interaction with other players and even better if they turn out to be an elim. Ivory, in my opinion, feels very village minded, especially when they talk about letting themselves get lynched so they can help us out more. I think some people see that as something elims say to get out of a lynch, as I have seen pointed out in other games sometimes, but it comes across as very genuine here to me. Gecko again, strikes me as rather villagery as the random voting puts them in the spotlight which elims want to avoid. Aside from a few players seeming villagery, no one stands out to me as particularly elimy, on the account that not everyone has even posted yet. I will consider Salmon's case on Coral later. I will place this vote on Scorpion for no particular reason as of now except tone and in fear of getting a runaway wagon on coral. Subject to change when I come on next.

hello there my possible, creamy, friend. Why doth thou talk to make my mouth water with the mention of desserts?

Hmm you might be onto something there. And I'm just messing when I mentioned 'complaints'. Please, complain more.

I see, thank you.

You seem to be complaining a lot, Sir. Anything I can help with?

I love the 'Melon Dingo' account name for some reason. And I agree we should be careful about roleclaims, especially in PMs.

This should be really good. Something different than the usual. It will be fun to find out players' identities afterwards. There's no problem if we try to guess someone's identity right?
