Actually a good explanation by Web.

Hm, so I am thinking Knightwing or NQT.

Web, you need the assist, so I will defer to your explaining why Knightwing is a good elimination.

Honestly...  Part of it is that I feel like Knightwing is a bit lurky and isn't commenting on the game as much as normal.  Lurking is something he tends to do as scum, so that's a bigger ding, but the second part is a lot more minor.  I'm also not seeing a lot of people as particularly scummy, and that usually means that it's someone that is particularly lurky, or someone really good, which means I paid more attention to Max, Jim, and Toony, but none of them feel like their scumselves (Jim would be the closest, but I don't see him just pyramiding his slogan if he were scum.  He's a lot less brazen as soloscum.)

@Web:
I can see that about NJW, since you never voted him or seriously wanted him dead today.

I don't get the impression you're lying about your role at all. It's not like when you were mally and clearly making up bullshit with your Eevee role.

Nah, no lies.  No point now, since I'm okay with either decision.  I'd prefer to not be voted out, but I'm not sure how well I'm gonna help Town to win this game.  Welllll, except for the Masonry with Max and Jim, that's just old-fashioned telepathy.

Oh, wait, sorry, I also have a Reference for breaking people's knees, ya know, on account of being a Crime Lord and all, but that's for the bad hotdog Action.

See, I'm writing Mafia instead of Cult because I'm not really even thinking about the game, lol

I give out Hotdogs.  The Hotdogs do tracking and stuff.  I can make the Hotdogs do bad things like Roleblock and Kill, if I use enough Hotdogs.

That's all.

Knightwing is dumb in thinking I can convert people with Hotdogs, or else I'd be trying to get everyone to buy Hotdogs.  Come on, man.

From the beginning of the game to now, Knightwing has behaved like classic lurker scum the whole day- tunneling on one target to be seen to do something but otherwise completely in the background.

Worth pointing out if we'd got rid of the biggest lurker on D1 in the last game, we'd have hit scum. And on the flip side, the person who posts the most is very unlikely to be a cult leader (though without lurkertracker, I don't know who that is, maybe me, but could even be Web).

All to say, yes, Knightwing is a good candidate for D1 elimination.

I really don't see Euchrejack's NJW push. Maybe I'm being pocketed here, but NJW has had such a clear appraisal of the other players. He talks himself down a bit for no good reason. Well I suppose a cult leader, as solo hunting a rival leader (or leaders?!) can just act like fairminded town. In fact, townhunting is perhaps just as important for them as it is for the town. But still, I don't see the force in it. Not when there are other players who have laid low the whole day.

Don't overthink EuchreJack.  You're putting a lot of logic in it, and that's a bit unnecessary, because, as far as I can tell, EuchreJack believes that I'm Town (or that Tric is Town, who believes that I'm Town), and that NJW's stance is therefore categorically anti-Town.

However, NQT, I have a problem, which is that there's probably a second Cult Leader.  I do agree that Knightwing is probably correct to vote out, but that there's a second Player who might also be scum...  Do you have a guess on who you believe is the second (And if you think that the second is me, then do you have a third guess)?

Pfp

I have never been a cult leader, no.

Thunderdomes are supremely dumb ideas. When do they ever catch scum? Web putting his neck on the line like this is either extreme confidence, having a rez, or he is just town. Hmm...

Very Boring Reveal

Web, my approach is counterproductive if it gets me killed D1. By throwing my vote around, I wanted to do all the normal thing— applying pressure, signalling my feelings about cases, but actually the secret extra thing I didn't want to divulge was that I wanted to generate a bit of heat against me, get close enough to the precipice that I wouldn't be a good conversion target (someone too many people hate). I always play to my wincon and this was my way of doing it. Saying what I wanted to do spoils the approach, so congrats. But dying also spoils the approach.

So there you go. Still want to Thunderdome?

Not a bad choice.  Would you be up for voting out Knightwing?

I do?

Hm, perhaps I'm mistaken.  It seems odd that no one except Jim (and somewhat Toony) has claimed anything about the numbers, and you usually will say stuff.

NQT

I'm fine with this. Four hours until I end up going to bed. Maybe 6.

Knightwing, can you give me an opinion on Egan?

I dunno, I haven’t seen much from them, maybe I just skipped them unconsciously I dunno

No offense, Knightwing, but you're probably going to be last minute wagoned unless you show you're Town.

Mhm.

You’re rubbing me the wrong way, Web.

Webadict

Don’t get comfortable Jim, I know how u operate. I’m still suspicious

Wanna explain further, or just remain vague about it?
