Wrote up some late night readings (my sleep schedule is fuuuuucked). There's also some questions mixed in.
---
@EuchreJack: started with some good posts, but i am not convinced the Jim campaigning is entirely innocent
I'm going to keep supporting Jim, as I see Jim as slightly townleaning whereas NQT as scummy.
How do you feel about Jim and Egan joining you? What might it take to change your vote today?---
@Maximum Spin: started with a flavored self-vote and hasn't done much of substance
I also agree about the new guy. #1 scumpick.
I think this was about me: Is this still the case? As your #1 scumpick, you don't seem too interested in asking me questions. Also, I decided I should add, we can't really assume that the Onyx are fully coordinated either. The last few games have been ones where the mafia didn't often work together well, for various reasons, don't you think? To be fair, in the TricMagic game, they didn't have a chat, but even some times when they did have chats, there hasn't been much coordination.
This feels like an attempt to downplay scummy behavior in general. I'm not informed enough to know whats been going on with chats lately, or what happened in TricMagic. But it seems to me that explicit communication/order structure isn't necessary for the Cabal to campaign for each other. Knowing who each other are is like 90% of the information they need to coordinate in plain view.---
@Roden: potentially a night cop? recent posts have focused on the sect stuff and EuchreJack
Are you a night cop? Do you plan on sharing results on day 2?---
@Jim Groovester: see last post, has been active in discussions but I don't see much hunting or strategizing
---
@Egan_BW: self-vote followed by Jim vote.
So, what's the strategy in this setup? Do we prefer to find scum or figure out confirmed town?
Vote town instead of scum.
Great idea! If we all just do that then there's no way we can lose~
Egan_BW
Why change your vote? Did you stop being town at some point?
How do you feel about the other people currently voting for Jim? Do you agree with Jack's reasoning?---
@Knightwing64: nice first-post grab for day 1, hasn't been very active. You haven't voted yet, which is fine IMO. I'm basically parking my vote on myself so I can't judge.
What are your current plans for voting? Do you have anybody in mind?---
@notquitethere: a very convincing opening that felt somewhat alignment-neutral, picked up on the same coordination I described in my last post. detailed reading posts, good cabal strategy strategy insight
NQT is a terrible candidate because I think this whole "running as a candidate" is a way to "hide in plain sight". NQT doesn't have to scumhunt as they can instead post about what a great candidate they would be. Fluffy posts with no substance.
My post was meant to be funny, but it wasn't fluffy. I made two substantive claims. Can you tell me what those were?
Nobody seems to have responded to this so I'll ask what those claims were. Is there something about your role that you were hinting at?
How do you feel about leading the vote tally? Are there any scenarios where you would ask your supporters to vote someone else today?---
@webadict: readings seem well reasoned so far. I'm not sure how to feel about the sect reveal. currently voting NQT but considering EJ and Roden.
You mentioned reading me as town. Would you consider voting for me?sect
How many people are in your sect?
Just two, but I'll let the other person decide if they want to reveal or not, since it may or may not be disadvantageous if we're both Town unless it becomes an issue. Since (I assume) we both have the same restriction, it's not a big deal if I think they're Town or not, but I am pretty sure I have the same win condition as normal Jade Court other than that restriction?
Do you think they should reveal themselves? In what scenarios might you decide to unmask them yourself?---
@ToonyMan: first to join the NQT bandwagon. has been actively hunting
I could see scum and town notquitethere both making that post, but I think town notquitethere more readily and easily makes that post than scum notquitethere does. Really I'd say any town player in general more readily makes that post than any scum player does. It comes across as fun rather than a careful and calculated move to advance an agenda.
I strongly agree. I think scum!NQT would be much more cowardly.
It's probably much easier for scum to make that opening if they know their buddy is going to immediately join and defend them 
Will you be keeping your vote on NQT? Are you considering anybody else?
