Survival Of The Fittest

this game has no inactivity rules lmao

Oh okay lol well I think that's what she meant, based on her response to Toben, point still stands, however minor it is.

I honestly forgot about it. I did my stuff based on ISOs and that came sometime in the span leading up to the drop and got responded to in briefest passing without a quote for context.

That said, looking it over now? I don't think it's a clean-cut getting caught lying. I think it was, at worst, puffing for credit. The thing is, I was intentionally vague in my initial comment, and Boogie chimes in with a jokey reply about the fluff but in neither case is it strung together in quite the way Dodd did. Sure, it was basically my case (except he got half of it wrong), but I'm not gonna grill him for not being in my head.

Now, this is complicated because his defense on this point wasn't great. "Oops didn't read" is not a good look... especially when there's a pretty fine and presumably true defense that comes to mind more easily (what I wrote like two sentences ago). But I don't super wanna dig into that because it lands in the middle of the dropping-out situation.

So, rereading? Does it change my read to "Dodd's slot is scum"? Actually, no. Does it weaken my already middling suspicion the slot is town? A bit, yeah. Does it mess with my read on Paige? Nah, they're not wrong either--just focused on a different aspect and perhaps intentionally applying pressure to a point of seeming contradiction as reaction test, and in a world stuff shook out differently and we got a material reaction and continued presence from Dodd I'd probably have a whole lot more certainty based on his responses to it.

Sweet, thanks, that downgrades my response from a max rank both-eyes-side-eye to like a suspicious squint. But the squint is still suspicious.

I'll hammer tomorrow morning before noon CST (unless I forget, in which case someone else do it for me), so get your thoughts in now.

@Paige, thoughts on Murder, my love? If you get a chance to peek at the thread tomorrow before work, otherwise don't worry about it~

As promised:

VOTE: CACTUS('S EMPTY SLOT)

That leaves us one vote shy of hammer (I double-checked before voting so I wouldn't blow it by mistake) and Zetsu has given her intentions to drop it tomorrow. We should of course have someone on hand as backup just in case for whatever reason the time approaches and something came up, but please don't jump the gun while there's still talk to be had.

Maybe further thoughts before night phase but real talk probably not--I'm not setting an alarm tomorrow morning, and I already gave my reads as they currently stand.

[/quote]tbh I've had absolutely no idea what's been going on at all this day phase post Dodd's dropping out and given how much of it just feels like noise and deflection to me I don't personally really think I'm going to get a lot out of looking through the thread again and just kinda want the record to be reset again so that things can make sense to me.

Any further analyses you can find in my earlier posts about it. It's just by virtue of not having anyone else I suspect more right now that I am more focused on him than anyone else.

EDIT: I meant if dodd flips scum then it'll make me suspect slam. My bad[/spoiler]

Please stop using this tag. I can't tell if you've actually edited your post or if this is a late addition to the post while you were writing it, but it's confusing and you're not supposed to edit posts period.

Yeah, EBWOP please.

And I disagree with Toben on FoS so yeah just putting that out there

I can hammer if people want, or do we want to leave that to Zetsu?

Hi there! There are 7 hours left in the phase as can be seen from this timer

Here is the current vote count, 8 required to lynch:
Cactus: 7 (Emprexx Plush, Jace, Ricky, Slam, dmboogie, MethodicalSlacker, MW)

Also, since I've seen instances and been made aware of people editing their posts, I've removed the edit function from the mafia board for regular users using my staff superpowers to prevent this from occurring anymore.

this seems smart tbh

I would like a hammer for safety cuz lise's promised deadline is gonna be right up to where we'd get a no lunch if my sleepy bitch math is right

It's 11:47 AM my time, so here it is.

Vote: Cactus['s slot]

The first moves in the conflict were tense as all the forces moved into position...unfortunately one of leader units ADVENT deployed seemed to suffer from an issue, whether it was a malfunction or sabotage the result was the same.

Lynched:

Cactus - Archon King, Watcher

13 remain. Night 1 begins now and will last until the 15th of April, 19:00 GMT (15:00 EST, 12:00 PST and 5:00 on the 14th for Aus. It's 48 hours from now) or until I receive all night actions.
