This is a random thought that doesn't make any sense

Can't say that I have. Probably something I can save until next phase. I really want to see someone from my scum pile get flipped before moving forward
choof might be one to look at potentially but AA and DaBackpack have been solidifying for me throughout this phase

You're problem with Rex is that it looks like an easy vote for some to make. I guess it is. But also an unlikely lynch anyways. But I don't agree with the the xelnya vote. I don't agree with voting for me. I would probably kill charu but I'm not going to get anything out of pushing him I don't feel except banal hubris. I would probably also kill red blaster but that train feels like it's so consensus that I'm not going to make any significant contribution to it with skimming.

So yeah, Rex might seem "easy" or whatever, but also pretty wolfy. If you're feeling the noose like I am can you see why I would want to explore a new avenue?

Rex is new, and some amount of that is worth giving deference, but it's the mix of neutrality and his Blanche confidence while riding the wave that makes me question him. He might actually be a wolf. You can see the mentality where if he was a wolf this is how he might act. I want to see him feel pressure, I want him to play. I almost had the three votes that makes him feel death imminent. Zenith did do some kinda wolfy shit and I wrote it off as him not wanting to play human under pressure... But Rex is a different person and hasn't done shit. His tone is off.

The theory craft where he might be a PR just doesn't check out because even at his shittiest I don't see a scenario where zenith self-presses over claiming yesterday. And replacing suggests stress, especially when he continues to view the thread.

I want people to stop dismissing this, and I want Rex to actually make a real contribution. Even if I'm not in a position to rally the crowd to join me.

Rex you're voting for me. I'm voting for you. Let me initiate you into TWG by asking you formally to dance with me, my intent is to clear you.

I mean legitimately this is a good point

I don't see it as a reason to lynch him today when he's only been here for like 12 hours or something

How can I trust your judgment, even if I think you are human, when you constantly shoot from the hip like this based on whatever the last 5 posts you read were and some amalgamation of theory craft impressions?

which is a real concern, but they would have had to act in a way that doesn't make sense considering the majority of people's reads yesterday

that's the only thing really holding me back at the moment

True, but more than just his speculation on there being a roleblocker in general, what I picked up on was something else entirely.

I just finished the part in rewrite where

yoshino and kotarou get trapped in the school and the hallways go on forever and then they escape after fighting and crashing into the occult clubroom...approx how far am I through the common route?

I don't remember exactly

the end of the common route involves the journalism girl getting lost or something

I can't be certain there's a mafia roleblocker

I just think that's the correct conclusion given the context of D0

I saw that while I was reading thread on my dying phone and forgot about it when I got back home

[DaBackpack]

I don't really know how to proceed if there really is a town roleblocker and they made a specific choice last night

[DaBackpack]

even disregarding that --

has Xel even redeemed himself today?

[roundbox]

I'm trying to get the vote count tool to work on my computer but it's not successfully grabbing posts from the beginning of the phase

if you count posting gifs and dicking around as redeeming, no, not really

why do you think I've left my vote on him for essentially this whole phase

[DaBackpack]

that was for everyone

didn't work

We have an IC and two VTs are dead. There could be 2-4 wolves, there still could be an SK we don't know about, there are literally hundreds more possibilities than this narrow shit. Until we know more look for broad behaviors, man. Quit being Jim Carrey in that movie 23. Who is getting away with shit this phase? Who is trying not to commit? Who is trying to take advantage of momentum that already exists?

My top three are:
-Rex (literally just hopping into a slot, subsuming the slot opinion, and posting to appear present while others grab pitchforks)
-Charu (making excuses to not play and making terse, matter-of-fact reads when he does contribute)
-Red Blaster (literally trying to pacify everyone and afraid to push on any of the people he seems to be focusing on)

Never hold true the assumption that the lynch yesterday was totally calculated or even very meaningful. It could have happened by chance without heavy-handed wolf involvement. Look for people who are taking advantage of the situation without actually changing the board state.

[Vendetta21]

Imo we're probably killing red blaster today but just piling on that seems like a waste, and in the twilight hours we have an oppourtunity to get a lot of people to show their true colors
