A Somewhat Interesting Vanilla Game

Johnny said:

Sawsbucks stop ninja'ing me. The vote is a common strategy, mate, to get the ball rolling, to create discussion. I dare you to find a game where I haven't done that. Spoiler: you can't.

Oh ok sorry, I'm just trying figure things out here and get comfortable playing this game
I'm a villager no lies there, just trying to find the Mafia and questioning those that I find suspicious

Johnny said:

Alright, just let me ask you one question. Don't you think it's farfetched to say that Bard is mafia because he said he was disappointed? But... really think about it.

That is very true although it was definitely an odd statement

Can I just point out
> I was the first one to show doubt in Sparkin's theory, and Johnny's random vote came after Sparkin voted Bard, so Johnny wasn't exactly quick to defend Bard. I wouldn't call that "fast" or "instant" at all.

> Farfetched =/= impossible, it just needs more evidence to make it more credible, because that's how theories work. Right now the Bard = scum theory has one sentence supporting it. That's not a lot, considering that Bard has also been providing his reads on other players and contributing to discussion, which I'd say gives him some townie (brownie) points.

> Disagreeing with someone does not make them scum!

So I'm going to [Vote] Sparkin, not because of the Bard vote itself, but because he overreacted to Johnny pointing out that his arguments were not very believable.

[Vote] Sparkin
You found a really weird reason to vote someone and we have no other leads right now.
I might change this vote, it depends on if sparkin makes a defense.

God it's good to have you back, please be town and not be fooling with my emotions

[Lynch] Sparkin

it's day 1, Johnny's case makes sense, I'm fine with him leading this lynch

I didn't notice NK's post but still, her post is towny

Erratic as town? Not sure where you got that idea so I guess I'll play as my mafia self~

I'm not sure what to make of this comment from Sparkin

After going back through the messages, Im actually going to agree with Bard, Sirdolan's little grenade analogy gave me a bad vibe from him, and all these other votes involving Johnny and sparkin have been rather reasonable so.

So..... you vote for neither
?

This situation looks almost the same as one experienced before, except for the fact that Sparkin is not a confirmed innocent (which does not mean that it is 100% confirmed that he is innocent) and that this bandwagon had started with a...peculiar way to throw your suspicions.

Currently, I read Bardothren as town. He did not feel too pressured by a vote and had tried to read the one that had voted him. A cross vote would certainly put him in suspicion, but his play makes me think of him town>mafia.

...And you are voting SirDolan for a single post when there are those who have not posted once?

I don?t know about everyone else, but I?m townreading Johnny right now. There is nothing in his posts that scream suspicious to me right now. Sparks v Johnny currently seems like town v town, although it could be scum v scum/town. I?m kind of agreeing with Roger and Bard about Sophie, although that?s not necessarily a reason to vote her like that.

If I get scumread for this, fair enough lmao, but I think I?m gonna go for Sparks. I?m only townreading Johnny, but I don?t have anything else to go by. Sorry, Sparks.
[vote] Sparkin.

As far as Scumreads, my attention is still on Sir Dolan, and considering there's still plenty of daylight left, I'll leave this here and see what comes of it. I may change it depending on what happens in the next 24 hours.

Bardothren said:

Sir Dolan felt a bit scummy, as though trying to appear helpful without actually contributing to the conversation, but idk, it's a weak scumread.

Whoa, hey buddy. That's a pretty trivial reason to think I'm scum, let alone to vote me on. I wasn't even trying to be helpful. :thonk:

Ah crap we lost the agent.
Wonder what he did on the one night he used his NA

Click to expand...

And going on by this "trying to appear helpful without actually contributing" logic, wouldn't you say this is also a reason to get a weak scumread? Yet you didn't call him out on it. not to mistake this as me trying to bass the baton, I'm pointing out that your reasoning is super weak

Okay, after reading this I'm getting a scumread. The fact that you're going along with something so weak so easily speaks volumes, especially when your first post wasn't helpful either.

[Lynch] metroid711

Well, rip me. I doubt doing anything would change this so

Johnny said:

Also, just saying that Mr James post has many words, but it's actually saying nothing concrete.

Just wanted to point out that he's confirmed inno

I want to wait for him to post again, but I'm leaning towards Metroid

[Vote] purplecicada

Fine by me. I claim villager

[Vote] Sparkin
That villager claim was out of nowhere and definitely suspicious
