What THE ACTUAL HECK Flamingo this is a game where people are supposed to die. Your stubborn refusal of death is completely unforgivable.

Bold claims, rhino. It would certainly explain your playstyle, but it also makes you sound like you're claiming to be the scanner. You sure about stating that publicly? I mean it's too late now, you've already posted, but personally I'd prefer not to trade one elim for one scanner.

Nice nice nice. Having one elim dead makes an entirely different form of analysis possible: interaction analysis. And yes, I know I said I'd post analysis today, but I got distracted with various IRL tasks. Guess I'll put it up during the night turn. And with crocodile to work off of, something juicy might come out of it.

Oh HO. Now that's interesting. There is a piece of me that is disappointed I didn't figure that out myself, given how much that one tineye message got my hackles up, but eh at this point with how little information we've gotten in the last 2 cycles, I'm gonna take it! Crocodile.

I'll toss a vote onto Flamingo but I'll be throwing up a post sometime discussing other suspicions and people I trust at this point. I know I talked about my analysis but I think it'd be fun to draw conclusions on all the living players to get a feel for stuff. But I also will not be throwing up such a post until tomorrow because I'm exhausted from having been traveling all day and I just want to sleep

Even if we do solidify the exe on Flamingo, I think it would be worthwhile to look things over and find other suspects. Or in my case, I think I have enough suspects at the moment and I'm going to... Find people I can trust? What could possibly go wrong?

Well that's... Not great. I was already hard reading Meerkat as village, but them being mistborn on top of that makes the loss much worse. There was a very small paranoid piece of me that was wondering why the elims hadn't killed them yet, but I'm glad that part of me remains the paranoid part of me. I genuinely have no idea who to exe. Not for lack of good targets, but just because I really want Penguin, Lion, and flamingo dead now, just for the audacity of surviving TWICE. And I'm just not sure exactly which of these three is the best use of time. Edit: alright after reading posts, I have an extremely crack theory that probably has something to do with me getting entirely too little sleep, but here it is: What if the elims just decided to troll the ever living flip out of us They must have known either Lion or Flamingo would get hit by the coinshot last night, and so they protected one in order to completely throw us off our game, waste another lynch, and aggravate the ever living flip out of me at the idea of needing to deal with BOTH LION AND FLAMINGO STILL BEING ALIVE AHHHHHHHHHH this is so annoying because this is a complete and utter waste of time

That's rough buddy. Once you've got the vomit cleaned up and you've done something nice for yourself for dealing with that, would you please give me a response on my question from last turn? Namely, why did you find me village on turn 2? Because you are kinda my prime suspect at the moment just for that alone, although, now that Opal Lion survived, and my reread of Day 3 that I just finished did NOT improve my read of them at all, that might not necessarily be the case depending on what happens tonight. Either way, I'd appreciate an answer to that when you've got the time. Yeah my reread has made me double down on my reactions last turn. Rereading chameleon, particularly on day 3 which wasn't part of my initial analysis, gave me a strong V vibe. Lion, it's just made it worse. Given that the coinshot will probably be hard pressed to kill both Ostrich and Lion, I'm going to have to go against my earlier argument and say maybe the coinshot kills Lion. That would be nice, I think. Otherwise I'm going to be tempted Day 4 just to vote Lion again, and that's exceedingly boring.

Save your guesses for the end of the game tyvm

Abandoned my results? I explicitly voted Lion because of something I noticed in those results! That being that Lion had never bothered to vote. I can wait a turn to kill Penguin, particularly given that it seems that their IRL circumstances seem somewhat difficult. I'm not in a huge hurry. And I'll have you know I'm still updating my data collection! Doing it right now in fact. And yeah, I did let Cham off, but that's because my main point against them was that they weren't being very active, and I was looking in that area specifically for hiding elims. If they continue to be active and participate, that will give us additional information. So I figured it was worthwhile to switch trains.

also I'm quite curious what crocodile found weird about my comments because that analysis is legitimately the most effort I've put into SE since the last time I ran a game. An extreme aside. By the end, I will be extremely curious to see if people know who I am. I'm deliberately playing in complete anonymity, and I really want to know if despite that people will still pick up on it.

oh you've GOT to be kidding me

Well then, looking back at my attempt at collecting data, while Lion evaded being included on my low posters list because of their slightly increased amount of posts mid game (3-4 instead of 1-2 which is what I was looking at), I also noticed. that as far as I noted Lion has put down no votes. If Chameleon is committed to being more involved in solving the game, I'd argue my point against them is somewhat null, making the Lion vote a better option. Particularly because if they haven't been voting at all, that stinks. Chameleon Lion. Now I can't help but notice that I since I tagged Penguin about that question, they have been looking at thread, but have not responded. I don't like that. I don't necessarily find Lion suspicious, but I am somewhat paranoid of when people start village reading me when at that point I've done about as much work solving the game as a slug on their day off. It reeks to me of low effort reads that an elim is putting up just to have reads up to pass basic inspection. This is a weird thing that I have where I tend to trust people who find me suspicious and distrust people that find me trustworthy. But since there's no penguin train at the moment I will not be shifting my vote to them. Lion will provide some information, and then I'd be happy to start a vote on Penguin day 4 if no other better candidates have come up until then.

well I can't fault you much on that, goodness knows that's happened to me from time to time as well. That being said, I don't find that alignment indicative in any way. I'm not much inclined to find you more village for struggling with that. Although, if you are committed to being more involved in the game, I'd argue that would give us more information later on if we do exe you later, and thus strengthen the Lion vote in comparison to you. What say you?

That's true, you are on there twice lol. Well in that case I'm fine with either being exed really. I'd almost be more interested in the reasons that people would prefer one exe over the other, than their actual vote.

A three way tie? Fascinating. I dislike the Flamingo vote, as I mentioned earlier. I also somewhat agree with Scorpions read of Chameleon's latest post. It seems they didn't really bother to engage until they drew heat, but then also didn't actually bother to confront the heat either? That feels pretty... sus to me. Hehe. I'm sorry. I'm somewhat ambivalent towards the Lion vote, I think it does have the same reasoning as the Chameleon vote, but I feel the chameleon vote is a stronger vote, and I'd prefer this not be left up to vote manipulation.

Cuz uh *consults sheet* I forgot to mention them as a low poster. Whoops. I'm still going to stick with my vote on Chameleon though because I get the vibe of higher... Watching activity from chameleon, whereas lion seems to just kind of post whenever they have time. That's a purely gut interpretation of events, but I'm sticking with it. Opal lion also kind of has the same problem as you do, in that their posts are extremely RP based and therefore hard to read into.

Gosh darn it. Can you understand my pain? I just spent the last hour or so hand picking data from previous days to stare at and make conclusions from, and I decided that Tuatara looked evil and came here to vote them. BUT THE SPIKED KILLED THEM. Anyway, my analysis is complete, even if my biggest read was immediately offed. I had a great explanation and everything. But I guess, Tuatara wasn't really the target I'm actually looking for. What I'm looking for are people who are flying under the radar, who could be dodging suspicion that way. A couple things came out of this First, Coral Swan's choices in music are based, so I have no interest in ever exeing them. This may be a stupid opinion, but the arts must be protected! This is kind of despite the fact that they kind of exactly fit the bill of the kind of person I'm looking for, but if they survived, they're probably not a tineye? Unless they're an elim mistborn, which according to earlier AG role distributions is quite possible. But again, I'd argue that should simply be dealt with by the coinshot tonight. Second, I have serious concerns about Rhino. They are very active in thread, which according to what I'm actually looking for (number of posts, number of vote changes, voting patterns ect) they look fine. But the actual content of their posts is extremely suspect. Now, I understand that it is a RP choice, and I don't have a problem with that inherently. But it does seem to me as an easy playstyle to get away with many, low quality posts that don't actually inform any reads. However, I don't feel that Rhino is a worthy vote right this moment, so we'll list them as a possible suspect for later if their patterns seem incriminating enough to look past their playstyle. @Chartreuse PenguinI have a question for thee. On day 2, you listed me as a strong village read. I have serious questions about that, because imo so far I'd figure a slight elim read on me in general if anything. A strong village read seems... odd. Would you mind explaining why you found me village? That leaves me with 2 people with low levels of consistent activity who haven't shared an explicit reason for not being able to post more often. That leaves Pearl Chameleon and Sunburst Toucan. Given that I've had a positive interaction with Toucan in PMs (if I'm remembering correctly), I'm going to vote Pearl Chameleon. Essentially, they've been posting very consistently, but only one or two posts a day, flying under pretty much every radar. The perfect place to hide. Edit: I could easily be convinced into a penguin exe if their answer isn't helpful. Edit 2: I totally got swan and flamingo confused. This raises further questions on Swan, but as I said I'm going to leave them be for their choice in RP music. My conclusions on Flamingo and the exe remain unchanged

I mentioned this in some PMs, but I am currently working on doing some rather intense analysis, but it will have to be put on hold due to some professional concerns that are currently taking most of my attention. I might get my analysis completed by sometime tomorrow after I finish the various applications that I am in the process of completing. The old man stared down at the village from his perch on the rooftop. He didn't know any of these individuals, at least not in their current forms. Nothing to be done about that. If he wanted information, there would be patterns. There were always patterns. And he would find them, and that tineye who had taunted the village with their message.

A small defense of Flamingo. Not really regarding anything they've done, but I'd argue from a balance perspective, it's unlikely that there would be a thug on an elim team, unless it was made one person smaller. So either flamingo is village, or we're up against a 4 man team, if my estimates are correct. They could be wrong, of course. Now that I've thought about how many kills there are per turn, it's possible we could even be looking at a 6 man team, though if so they probably aren't role heavy at all. And, honestly that feels a little bit too big to me. I'm still staking my bet on 5, and I just don't see a thug being given to a 5 man team. If the coinshot feels really strongly about it, they can go ahead and blow another kill on Flamingo, but I think thread's efforts should be pointed elsewhere. As to where, yeah I have no idea. I guess the exes on villagers would be a good place to start.

Emerges from hole sorry for disappearing, but in my defense I was basically spending all my extra time either reading SP1 or spending time with family. But I finished the book, and my family's winter break is finished, so that will no longer be an issue. Twas a dang good book tho Anyway, that tineye message gets my hackles up. Dare us to find ya, huh? Cheeky little bugger, huh. We still haven't killed an elim, and with 23 people to start, we're looking at at least a 4, maybe 5 man team. I'd imagine the coinshot is village, as is usually done, and with 5 dead that leaves us at worst a 5-13 split ATM. Or 4-14. Which means we have slightly less than a 1/3 chance that any one person is an elim. Lovely math if I do say so myself, but for all my brains I still have no idea who to suspect. But, I guess finding someone cheeky enough to send that message would be a start. Given that this is an anonymous game that will be harder than usual, but well something tells me that most likely this tineye is not going to have a huge presence in thread. Could be wrong, but that's my gut instinct. Based on that, I'm going to filter people... Not right now. But soon.

I know I should be paying attention to this, but I'm sure you guys will understand that I'm very much enjoying Tress and the Emerald Sea right now and my brain is being entirely consumed by that. And yeah I'm not an elim. Cuz if I were I wouldn't have killed Dingo. After seeing the dingo kill I was kind of actually anticipating that there would be a push on me from the elims as I figure I'm pretty easy pickings. Which is weird, because I haven't really done anything interesting yet. And I'll say this one last time. I found the play style of reverse speaking annoying. That's it. I'm not going to hate the player, or get angry, or really do anything outside a day 1 vote. Not will I be getting upset about other odd playstyles, I just happened to find that one hard to read. I'm not sure why everyone started getting up at arms about it, because I was NEVER going to make a big deal out of it, or hurt anybody's feelings. So I'd appreciate if people would stop blowing it out of proportion. Thank you, I shall return to reading and try and get a vote before rollover. No promises though.

You know I was just in the shower thinking to myself, yeah dingos definitely a villager. Then I log in and boom, they're a villager! And... They're dead. WHYYYYYYYY

It does annoy me, I'll be straight up with that. Making me mad, not so much. But it's not going to come before anything that I actually find suspicious. I didn't find anything that really set off my alarm bells last turn, and weirdly enough, me being like this is giving me some information on you guys. I like solid confrontation about stuff, it gives me a solid village vibe. Elim tends to lean just kind of avoiding attention and controversy, so I find villagers are always the ones getting in arguments like this. So yeah, I'm not trying to be an arse, and if you want to continue playing all reverse, by all means go ahead. It will still annoy me, but I live with plenty of things that annoy me. I'm mature enough to handle it beyond day one where I didn't have anything else to work with. Edit: also, yes I see you guys thinking I'm suspicious somehow for not finding suspicious stuff day one. I'm sorry, but no matter the game, I ALWAYS take a few days to gather information before I can really start getting a solid read on people. I've never been the kind of person to do detailed analysis before about... day 3 usually. So, leave me alone. I got some information out of it, so I'm happy with the situation. I'm going to leave well enough alone personally. Edit: I apologize if this post came off as a bit more terse than I usually am. My family is being particularly aggravating today, and that may have come through in this post.

OH NOT YOU TOO
