Anyway, my play-time is limited, and no one's around.

vote Ay Estos

For the scummy as fuck drive-by vote.


If people are seeing EP as a potential symp then will anyone follow his vote? Would he be ballsy enough to vote one of his masters day 2?

For a day one case I am happy with it.

Much better than the usual "So and so is a poopyhead, let's vote for him".


This reads like Okaros was content to just have some case on thread that we all can follow and our job is done. It's better than nothing but it's not like a D1 can be called productive with a mere 1 half-assed symp case. Sounds too clumsy to me to be too scummy tho.

Hypocriteeeee

Hmmm. Actually I didn't use an emoji. I typed colons before an after. This is how we use to specify actions, for example when role playing, back in the day.

Merrid didn't take the emoji out. My post never contained an emoji. I don't know if this is better or worse for me, but having the correct facts may help later on.


I believe you, actually, but I agree, that will make a difference to someone, whether it's you, EP, or Fandy

Yawn. Morning. At work, re-caffeinating. Then I'll take the look at the 2 pages we got so far, and pick which check-in post feels the most suspicious.

Okay, so I found the laziest post of the game so far.

Here
It has only 4 letters. You know that what else has only 4 letters? "S-Y-M-P" .Case slosed vote Thyr


Vote Fanderay

Curious about this Yawn.


I've been rereading this to see what was bothering me about it.
You know what else is a 4-letter word? Yawn.
And why is it capitalized at the end of the only sentence?
The : emoji : words are not always obvious either. Sure, the coincidence is there, but not in writing - until Merrid points it out by disabling the emoji icon in his quote - matching spelling, case, etc., unlike Fandy's emoji.

It almost, almost reads like a symp signalling via making a case about a symp signalling...

Merrid is either extremely smart to catch such a subtle link or extremely lucky. Lucky is fine, smart can be dangerous. If anything, I think we overreacted to the "obviousness" of the coincidence. Difficult to say on day 1. Removing for now.

Remove Vote


So then who would Merrid be signalling?


You, obviously.


This is whole thing was quite a reach

One'd think that before writing the whole emoji thing you'd atleast know for sure it was an emoji, also afaik we have no yawn or yawn resembling emoji so it seems weird you'd think it was one.
Also the reason behind typing the Yawn capsized seems obviously to be the distinction between the emoji :yawn: and the response Yawn.

You apparently failing to think about alternative reasons why the suspicious things you highlighted might have come to be makes you suspicious - might be you're a scum and you genuinely overlooked those as you wouldn't really care about really looking for scum as opposed to making a case or you're scum and realised those things but omited them to make it more persuasive.

You are trying way too hard to make a thing out of this.

I'm pretty sure I've done that a few times.

Check how many of posts that start with "yawn" include words "subway" "late for work" and "tea"


At this point thread is really caught up with the yawn thing and people keep pushing it despite how dumb it's lookin, there has to be atleast 1 scum pushing this, problem is, everyone posting is happy to swing along

Edit: Actually, no, two points. Your assessment of Aranatha would actually make me more suspicious of them, not less. Backing off the Fanderay case more strongly the more it seems like an inevitability (and therefore safer to back off with no actual impact on diverting it from a lynch). Fair enough if you can present a case you believe in more strongly...but to vote for Ruse instead?


This

Otoh the vote for Ruse seems like too much of unneccessarry exposition, the vote for Ruse could very easily be labeled dumb(as it was) and Ara voted just for the sake of being dumb - considering the alternative at the moment Ara could have possibly been lynched the very day as a better alternative to the yawn-case imo, but thread was too caught up in it and there was no going back. I've just made a point and negated it myself, great. Ara's vote for Ruse makes sense if Ara really strongly believed in Fandy's innocence, but on D1 you can't be nowhere near as sure as you should be in order to do that.

If we're going to get a lynch today then we need to coordinate soon.


Something I find summy about Kalse is that isntead of plying in real time they comment on things from way back effectively minimising their real-time interaction with other players. So they express their opinions but they don't give others much chance to interact with them because the stuff that they comment on have been already discussed from the most part

Hypocriteee

Also despite the amount of their posts I'm having a hard time getting a read on EP, that's suspicious but it's more of a gut kind of supicion

I've just looked at their posts in isolation, it's worse than that, Okaros is posting but not really playing the game at all

I just reread the thread. It's only day 2 but I think we have a coaster.

Hanas has made no waves, attracted no attention, never voted, never been voted for. He has narrated the entire thread in bits and pieces instead of contributing. No real content or opinion. Just enough questions, just enough agreement. He's even lower on the radar than the low posters. Smooth as it gets.

remove vote

Vote hanas


If I make it back before timeout it will be close. Jalan case has no traction and he was nice enough to reply so I'm not losing sleep on it. My gut says this feels right though

I would vote Okaros for same reasons but feel like hanas is more active and leading the thread

I can't believe the Ruse thing is still being discussed and TBH I don't understand your vote or reasoning.

I wasn't around to discuss it when it was topical

Basically your whole play is giving me vibe of someone making cases for the sake of making cases instead of actually looking for scum, and trying to get a lynch isntead of trying to lynch scum - proof be how easily you removed from Jalan despite your apparent conviction that accompanied your vote for them. Then there's the backpedalling from Fanderay train, your arguments either making little sense to me or they're arguments that someone else has used but in different situations (knowledgeable play argument with Jalan, now this vote for Hanas). I think that about sums it up.

I agree with Ay's assessment here. Going to read up on Aranatha myself right now, then Jalan and Hanas as that is who he has fingered today.

At the moment I have it in my head that Aranatha is a symp, the kind of play described above fits more into that category to me. Obviously, the next question would be symp for whom? Well I have much more time to play and investigate that today.
