Guess I'll throw reading this Zenith drama on list of shit to do tomorrow night.

For right now I have working early and I need sleep for it. Later fuckers

Why were you trying to figure out if I was a pr or not?

I'm going to stop paying attention to this game I bet

Here's my answer for myself.

I voted because the other wagons I felt were empty, devoid of literally anything.

I wanted roundbox, but no one was gonna bite.

I didn't like Manti, but I assumed he would do something great next phase or something since he's known to play better after D0. But choosing between nothing and someone that at least stirred the pot in less than a minute or something.

I'm pretty much comfortable with MML being town forever now because of Manti's flip (ignoring the blue claim, but whatever).

Jessica vote seemed the least natural so she's a Person of Interest (not a suspect, yet)

I wasn't but you're too dense to see past your views.

[Hakulyte]

Xiz/Daikyi/jessie were the last 3 quick votes that lynched Manti.

I think priority would be to investigate why they did it.

(even if it's a good thing)

Blame the night actions, not the game.

It probably was other mechanics that happened that we're not aware of, so chill out.

Though you are right about one thing. Having only one night kill is pretty particular (and it's mellon of all players).

You'll keep playing and like it.

those were scumreads like 45 mins before eod while still clawing my way back into "present thread" territory. wagon was pretty much wc. wc gives literally 0 information. landed on manti because his eod was absolutely shit, and actually scummy enough to quick swap at the end

again, voted jessie, wondering where prec/charu/xiz are on reasoning for swap to tokzic

Xiz: Weird game. Was almost entirely casual/conversational for a large portion of the day, with an brief interest in the event game (his perspective was a little weird there, a lot of speculation about things the host could do if everyone coordinated). After a lot of space on poker, real life events, and so on, switched to a clear game focus, providing reads (with reasoning) on a number of players, although it was basically all town reads. Seems to be suspicious of blind, and was pushing for clarification on a read. Seems to be fully invested in the game now. Like that he called out Who Cares for suggesting a third party. MML vote is kind of weird right now, since it's parked without reasoning provided. Null.

ShadoWolfe: Didn't do anything of interest until #866, but that was a pretty good post. It was self-reflective enough to consider the dangers of town-reading mind-melds, and although a lot of it was based on feel, it felt sufficiently fleshed out. I like that Shado actually does a fair number of more than one sentence posts, because that means there's enough going on that I can kind of get a sense of what he's really trying to say, and evaluate it. I like his tone toward EoD interactions—what he wants to happen and why even outside of actual votes. Town read.

LightManticoreX2: Pretty much continuous shitposting. Occasional segues back to the game, but reluctant to contribute actual ideas. #1234 is troublesome; it seems to assume their own survival, and a willingness to wagon. Part of that is just the adopted tone, but then #1329 is a sort of subtle OMGUS, attacking anyone suggesting a Light vote for not pushing the case harder. There's some validity to that, but it suggests that Light is actually following the game (or at least their own mentions), which raises the question of why they're not actually scumhunting or analyzing. However, this is subverted in the next post, calling out (and voting) MML for making the same basic point, under the logic that such behavior fits their usual opening day meta. At this point, Light's game changes completely, as it switches to repeatedly hammering MML on this one point. This is where meta might actually be useful; is there X2 precedent for suddenly tunneling one person on flimsy (but possibly intuitive) grounds? Because that kind of tunneling feels more like an excuse to construct a vote (and avoid considering anything else), I lean slight scum here.

Hakulyte: Focused onto the thread itself pretty quickly; occasional conversation posts, but most material is game-sided. Made a sort of strained case for sprucegrit as wolf, based on the information dump/reveal. I don't really agree with that logic—overall it's kind of alignment neutral—but I can't tell if it's a “fake” case or just an intuitive leap. Don't really like #693; any allowable discussion is useful, even if the effect is muted in a 24-player first day. The AMA stuff feels pretty alignment neutral; since the schedule limitations are new to Haku, the “talk to me” stuff feels like an awkward but genuine way to deal with the uncomfortable parts of being absent. I could see Haku doing/saying that whether town or wolf. Did propose a full wolf team in #1282. Seems very committed to that read, given the no W/T logic in #1291. That seems like kind of an awkward type of thinking, almost solving to a preordained conclusion, but it feels like something town Haku would actually try. A lot of interaction and referencing past games, which is pretty much alignment neutral for Haku. Null read. I'd say town if pressed, but I wouldn't feel great about it.

^^ That's probably about it for Prec.

tbh i didn't see anyone but prec's initial vote, i think literally every one of the other votes were <1 min apart from each other

This talks about her suspicion on mtamb, enough that he was her lynch focus d0. Too bad mtamb is a ghost.

[Hakulyte]

I was going to ask why raeko got NK'd, but it's possible the NK got blocked and raeko is a random kill.

meh

[Hakulyte]

Sounds like a chaos kill to me.

*waves to Xiz*
