Why this person?
Why'd you choose to quote this one?
It is the properly spelled one.
I did not see the later ones until after I posted.

yes...and that it amuses me.
I don't think he's tunneling you. Why do you think he's tunneling you?
He keeps pushing me to claim more than I think is wise.

He seems to be mostly trying to read me.

I don't think he's being unreasonable, just that most of his posts are about me.

This also ties in to the fact that I have a massive ego.
You've posted like twice as much as the next-highest poster, who happens to be ghug. It makes sense that he's posting about you a lot.

And how does him trying to read you mean he's tunneling you?

Also, I get the impression that as much as celaph enjoys solving (and is very very good at reading people and their motivations), he'd be an excellent liar and would enjoy trying it this game. I expect that if he were offered a reasonable non-town role, he'd take it.
There is a grain of truth in here, but at some level you're just buttering me up with niceties. I was wrong on Bozo last game and it led me to suspect a lot of townies.

HR being absent day one is not that strange. Ezio being absent is a conversation starter that only some players could really talk about with any memory. Bozo being missing is interesting.

No it's not.

The bot counted both votes starting with L and not the ones starting with i.

I think it's LfischL

Mostly that it was focused on my (very reasonable) denial of telling him my discarded card.

Is that an acronym of something? Or is it a puzzle like a rebus?

You're yet to explain how this benefits town.

You've yet to explain how delaying until EON harms town.

You've yet to explain how delaying until later harms aliens/mafia/SK.

@ghug. I think my points on how delaying until everyone has at least signaled a town/not-town discard helps town (and reduces harm) were clear. Several people who bothered to read the rules and think agree.

Delaying until EoN is bad because there are 21 people in this game and we need to develop consensus on information sharing well in advance of when they start dying if we want to ensure that we do it.

Revealing which scum roles aren't in the game is clearly valuable to town, but we don't even need a specific use for information up front for it to be worth sharing. Town is the least informed faction, and the only reason to deny us more information as a townie is if that information will help the other factions find our PRs, which this will not do.

What are your points? Who has agreed? If there's a reason, lay it out for me. If there isn't, tell the world so we can move on.

The memelord in me want to ask the vig to cap Ezio N1.

But nah.

We've talked the claim/anti-claim out a lot (of those of us who actually have been posting) and there is a difference of opinion at a base level between the two schools of thought.

I ain't got much more at the moment. I'm a meat and potatoes kind of guy. Mechs is my thing.

The reason is, I didn't pitch a goon. So I want to know everyone else who didn't pitch a goon first. This locks them in as claiming something.

I pitched a powered non-town role (not necessarily a good one--oh, didn't jasnah claim she pitched the mafia lover?) I'd rather not let mafia/aliens/SK know which one until later. Why not let them sweat. Town isn't going to have anything to do based on which role I pitched, but could easily change a scum team's calculus.
