For someone who was opposed to rushing the DP, I don't get why you're suddenly so antsy. Yes, it's a 48 hour DP. It started less than 12 hours ago, so no, I don't see a reason to rush at this stage and, as with literally every game I've done in recent memory, I'm going to try to spur activity so that I can get at least a basic read on everyone. If we get to later in the day and Vader hasn't posted, I'm fine with moving on, but I think I've already made clear who I think is scummy so that should be no secret at this stage.

I dont plan to lynch anyone until last 10 hours of dp.

At that point, I am willing to lynch my scum reads.

My reads might change as game develops, but I would prefer if we didnt rush with role claims but just did character claims until last 10 hours of dp.

From my understanding of game description, its not 6vs4.

Its 6 vs 2 vs 2.

The only way town loses is if town drops to 2 players while one scum team is exterminated.

So even if town is at 2, if there are still two scum teams, the town doesnt lose, I think.

So no matter what it looks like, I would say town isnt in such a bad position, and town seems to have a few roles which prevent being killed at night.

Please vote one of my 3 scumreads. I will vote with you if you don't choose joebob or leave it on joebob if you vote him.

Rn you're doing junk pressure voting, let's make real pressure.
I don't scumread JoeBob. His posting looks just like his last game and while it's all fluff, that just reads null to me at this point. I would have scumread that last game (and did before I was NK'd), but now that I know it's his town play, I'm not going to jump on him for that alone.

As for Wylted, nothing has stood out as particularly scummy, though I'll admit I've had a hard time reading him in numerous games. What's your basis for scumreading him?

I have a hard time believing they're a scum team together, though immediately bussing his own scum partner and effectively outing himself in the process would make only a little less sense than his strategy so far.
You should read his last game where he was at L1 claimed a PR then changed it to vanilla. Dude does not care about this game.  He plays like badger

I'm not rushing it, I am ready for this to go wrong.

I am also stressed irl.

If you all want to be shit, be shit. That's the truth of it.

I am good prodding for activity, and we don't have much behaviorally to go on tbh, if literally everybody is scum hunting.

Pressure me or one of the 3.

Pick one.

Don't go for the lurkers. Make the most out of this DP, make the actives more active.

Lurkers are inherently harder to read so we need to lock them into claims early.

Wrong.

You want to lock the scummiest into claims early and vote people to make them squirm to get said reads.

Hi everyone. Missed the DP going up but will catch up to everything. A few key notes is that my role had a best fight included with it. I also have no idea what theming will be. Gonna try to catch up asap

Give me a reason to pressure WyIted or JoeBob then because I've spent enough time going back and forth with 7k to no effect. Just telling me you're sussing them and want to put down more pressure isn't going to induce any change from me. Right now, I also don't see reason to pressure you, since WyIted's only got a feeling about it. So, yes, until I get some more solid reason to push on a given player beyond the kind of factionalizing you always seem prone to doing, or it at least gets a little later in the day and Vader hasn't responded, I'm going to keep my vote where it is.

@WyIted
Lurker's strategy is to keep quiet and let others fight each other.

Its a brilliant strategy, because you always have the excuse of "oh I was so busy this day", "I have a job", "bla bla bla".

If they were serious players, they would quit their job to play mafia.

But no, to them, their job is somehow more important.

You scumread 7kseries and think he has a role where Austin told him 2 other scum right?

Not even the battlebots but the actual usernames.

Your logic makes 0 sense, you pulled it out your ass and I can see it.

Joebob wasn't like this DP last dp1s at all.

You're wrong.

He's much friendlier and jollier, this isn't his town style so far.

Wylted's logic is so stupid that he is probably scum
 I once Townread him when he was with you and Barney because I scumread you hard and figured Wylted cnanonly be so insanely irrational as Town.

It turns out hew as scum with you. (Also super flex I hard carried that game despite it)

Speak of the devil! Yes, my role came with a video of the best fight for my robot as well.

At this point, I'm willing to put down a vote on 7k to get a full claim. Maybe this is just like WyIted says and 7k just doesn't care about the game, but he's playing it far more fast and loose this time and it comes off as scummy in a distinct way from his previous games.

7k is likely a troll at this point. Consider him dead weight on whatever side he is (unless he's scum). We need to progress DPs and if he's still around we will likely get nothing done

Interesting. May have to study his mechanics in other games. My best guess is it's just a troll

So due to a mod error I'm almost positive Grey is a bleeder. Which means Grey is almost 100% town confirmed but I'm still a few pages in so don't know how he responded yet

You will not get a claim out of me.
If I claim, scum will just get me during the night.

Joebob wasn't like this DP last dp1s at all.

You're wrong.

He's much friendlier and jollier, this isn't his town style so far.
He does come off as a little more interactive than he did during the Indie Games DP1. I didn't keep much track of the other DPs since I was already out. Did he contribute more and was it mainly serious?

Wylted's logic is so stupid that he is probably scum
 I once Townread him when he was with you and Barney because I scumread you hard and figured Wylted cnanonly be so insanely irrational as Town.
I assume that "Townread" is supposed to say "Scumread".

Considering how much you clash with WyIted on the regular, I find this harder to believe out of hand. I find that he's often on an entirely different wavelength, and the amplitude of that wavelength isn't indicative of much. If anything, I tend to misread him more often when he's less rational.
