Toben has already set himself as one of the de facto people to listen to because he, along with Paige, are the busiest bodies in the game. Now, I don't need to reiterate to you all AGAIN how dangerous that can be, but disregarding that he's still a valuable voice this early on.

Fair point.

I scumread Zetsu because of the reasons I posted earlier. I am, again, open to the possibility that Deamon's choice of flavor text distribution was just questionable and is causing annoying amounts of misunderstandings and problems. I am open to the possibility that Zetsu really is advent officer, and that Yugi is advent trooper. All I know for sure is that I am advent trooper. So there's at least one of each, most likely it's half and half.

As for slam my reasons before are unchanged.

I scumread Toben mostly, again, by virtue of being the one who is so effortlessly able to set himself as the authority figure we all look to for reads and then go off of the opinions of. He's fully capable of manipulating us into scumreading each other instead of town.

I kinda scumread Boogie too for coasting in almost the same way he did last game.

I townread paige, but like I said before, I could totally see the possibility that they're just playing a really smart game and manipulating us into thinking they're town bc as it stands Paige has alot of town points to gain from my inevitable town flip.

Any additional opinions are the same as they were last time I made an effortpost.

Zetsu made a fair point even tho it shoud've been more obvious to me. My vote's staying on me. When I flip town, I'd look at Zetsu and Toben moreso than anyone else. I'm happy to participate in discussions til then but by the end of this day phase I expect to be the one lynched. It's for the best, please don't let anyone talk you guys out of it.

Relax. We’re at L-1. I can hammer if need be. We have 18 hours, in case it needs restating. We can afford to wait a few hours and let everyone read and state their reads.

I am relaxed, that's why I posted reads and re-entered the discussion like everyone kept insisting on.

Holy. Crap. Seven. Freaking. Pages. Guess that means I should start doing night time mafia, geez! This has been such a difficult phase to follow and yeah I'm having trouble catching up as well : /

Also, uh, two Advent Troopers and two Advent Officers? I guess being even a VT does give you some benefits for flavour. That is some wack flavouring. Officers are like elites soldiers, so you SHOULD have only a few of them. I'm not sure how much VTs are in this game, but having two elites seems a bit ??? If it turns out there is two officers to control the rest of the troopers I'm going to be like wth.

At the same time, I am incredibly baffled on where I think Jace's alignment is. Because you know what? Zetsu just damned both Jace and Yugi with their claim, but I personally think that it's real or at the very least they're town. Even if I do think that was an super conveniant claim, weirdly so. Because guess who gets lunched instantly the next phase if Jace is a trooper?

Imma do a ISO of Boogie see you in forever

I'm pretty damn terrible at analysis so I'll just put his posts. Boogie has been giving me weird vibes and no it was not because he won last game.

Well obviously he starts off with the alien joke which made Jace think he was human, which he later says is because he wanted to trick scum after Cactus made his read. We know Cactus is town so make that what you will. ((Uhhh, that's weird, as in why he'll bait scum like that but that's fine. There's been more incompetent sc-)) ((Also personally, while I know Boogie is first on Jace's case, his reasoning comes after Cactus's))

He votes Jace as a joke, but he doesn't move his votes for serious reasons now. ((Wait Boogie, were you joking with the whole baiting scum thing? Was it a joke vote turned serious or was it a serious vote since you were trying to bait the whole time?))

Oh wait never-mind it was just to pressure Jace. At this time, Boogie reads Jace as flailing newbie but essentially says he could either be scum or town. Makes a response to Jace and Zetsu that I have no idea how to interpret. He then explains the scumminess of bulletproof, : P. He uhhh unvotes Jace? Stating that he doesn't really see Cactus's case. ((To me, that's a townish move, everyone was being majorly focused on Cactus, and scum could jump on no problemo.))

He then votes for the policy lynch of Cactus. Super easy to jump on, sooo idk. Day today!: Well after the non-effort posts, he notes that Yugi claiming VT is a super obvious scum-buddy move so Yugi is town likely ((Thoughts on that, Zetsu? What do you think Yugi was trying to do if he's scum, doing it so obviously despite night chat?)) Then he agrees on Paige's "Ya'll sure he's hard town guys?"

"Noted town move: giving up" ((Wait, really? Both Jace and SLAM have done it so idk what to think, if this is true or not. I have noticed that people have been a bit drained throughout the game though, and are having trouble committing or catching up.)) At this point Boogie also says that he's also drifting along, and that would explain his shorter posts and less content removing the crap posts. ((So you were right-ish when you said boogie was coasting this game, Jace.))

Yay, Slam time! Boogie agrees with Paige here, saying that if Slam thinks Jace is town, he probably shouldn't be lynched. And then Boogie votes for Slam after Paige and Jace provide their reasoning. ((Hooray for not wanting town lynches, not so nay for not providing reasoning but you're tired so that's fineish)) He then unvotes Slam and goes for Jace after Zetsu claims...uh, okay? He seconds Paige's post on the whole advent trooper and officer thing and where Yugi-Jace scumbuddies got Trooper from. Final post before the whole coasting thing is post 737, on why Yugi would have willingly tied himself to Jace by claiming. ((Uh, are you suggesting that Yugi is scum or town, boogie? What do you think, boogie?))

And that's all folks. There's something about his more frequent crudposting and one liners that will never not make me suspicious, but otherwise, he gets a pretty light town read bordering on null from me, especially with the whole Cactus situation since he doesn't vote until it's a policy lynch when he could have driven Dodd further down the rabbit hole. We'll just have to see what Jace or Slam, preferably Jace flips. *Faints*

Today was busy so I was slow starting in. Reading/catching up, but there's eight pages of stuff--will trickle out over the next little while.
