This was my thoughts as well about Balki’s statements. Felt a little too try-hard for the first ~8 hours of the game.
I can see a town motivation for not liking that nothing is happening 8 hours into the game, can't you?
I can if you don't find the joke phase entertaining at all, but the joke phase isn't a waste of time imho
It's been a pretty tepid joke phase though. I like shitposting as much as the next guy, but it's less fun and less useful if we're barely talking.

I think I would stay hidden as the CWV, in my opinion the problems a hidden CWV cause the mafia are worth the risk.
FWIW - agree here.

Smaller audience and also "joke phase" isn't entirely just jokes - it's more the title commonly used for people discussing non-game stuff such as pain meds, steak, travel plans, etc.

I use it to gauge where some of the players may be in terms of mindset and it helps establish something that I am probably wrong about.

ghug seems to be trying to mislead the group by providing false information or distracting from the real issues at hand.
Chaqa is consistently trying to manipulate the group's decision-making process by sowing confusion and discord.
The Chaqa post did seem to come out of no where in my opinion, but that makes me more likely to town him D1 then scum him.

I am Civil War Veteran. I think the benefit of me claiming now outweighs the cost. I think I'm a reasonably to draw a visit from Town, and it's not worth the gamble.

If you think my choice to claim on Day 1 is dumb, let's talk about it in the AAR. It's done now.
Interesting play here...

Let's talk about who seems likely to be Town and who seems likely to be a Wolf please.
The normal WIFOM awfulness I have right now leads me to think you made a play to become the Wolf.

Just caught up...disappointing all around.

@Balki can you explain why you claimed this early? Did you not want to hide at least until night?

@ghug, best of luck with the wisdom teeth recovery! I remember somehow getting my mom to watch Office Space and Reservoir Dogs with me; she liked neither of them, and I barely remembered watching either.

@Hamilton, you're Canadian?

@Damo, way to present more as town this game than last game. You seem much more loose and less bored. What do you make of pyxxy sheeping you?

Just after Bozo made a statement as to WHY NOT to claim. Nice way to stir up the posting for the day.

Balki is town. It is a benefit to town for them to claim because...?

or

Balki is mafia. same questions apply.

Open Wolfing, as I recall reading on a forum/site, is when a mafia player is actively controlling and dictating information flow in the 'wrong' direction.

I can't guess alignment from it (I could see him doing it either way, but more likely as town), but my best guess is he's lying and intends to come clean tonight. I think he wanted to shake something up? I'm not sure how I'd describe his thoughts.

If he actually is the Vet, I think he claimed too early.

I wonder what the game thread learns by way of flavor if there is a gunshot, but the target is not killed. And if Hooker visits War Vet, does hooker die or does the RB work?

Is there some place I can read to know how these rules will be enforced?
I'd imagine we won't hear of a gunshot, and that the vet can't be hooked, but a ##CALLGM would give a definitive answer.
GM NOTES

Howdy, pardners.

1. If a gunshot is fired during the day, the "A SHOT RINGS OUT" message will be posted even if there is no death.

2. The Civil War Veteran's reflexive blasting is not an "action" so it cannot be Roleblocked. The Hooker would die in the situation you mention.

I hope this is of assistance, y'all.
##CALL GM: Does shooting someone count as a "visit"? For example, if someone shoots the Vet, does he shoot back?

VOTE COUNT 1.2, YEE-HAW

Chaqa (2) - BunnyGo, ghug
BunnyGo (1) - Balki Bartokomous
ghug (1) - Chaqa(END)
rdrivera2005 (1) - damo666
damo666 (1) - Hamilton Brian

CHAQA is currently the prime suspect.

8 people have not voted.

Just under 26 hours are left in D1.

GM NOTE:

Yes. You have to visit someone to shoot at them. Pistols in tham thar days weren't very long ranged.

My opinion on the thread is that Chaqa seems off but if y'all are saying that last game was a doozy then I townlean him for being off
"Off" how?

And talk more about why you townlean him for it because someone said "last game was a doozy."
feel like normally he makes more of a presence in the first 24 hours of D1

that's the "off"

also no mention of Chipotle yet

I think scum!Chaqa would put more work in to appear normal after a supposedly stressful game, or to appear more stressed. Being right in the middle seems like non-acting -> townlean.

also agreed especially since Balki you were already drawing attention and keeping the thread active, although maybe this is hindsight from catching up on the thread and seeing you posted a bunch

@Hamilton Brian, why did you say this: "They're flying a little too close to the sun. 'kidding' in asking if Pyxxy would self-vote then the blanket vote on Rivera."

What should we take from it? What are you saying about the things Damo did with respect to Pyxxy and Rivera and what does it say about Damo's alignment?
I tried to bold your inferring question, to which I replied, "Definitely not." At this point in the game, don't infer anything from me. It is primarily baseless. If I start to push something I feel strongly about, then I'll announce it with better reasoning than whatever it was I said about Damo.

It's D1 early-game shit posting. I could have easily chosen worcej for his comment on 'more time in game is NAI' or something like that. I could have chosen you. Don't count on it. It's early D1.

I'm feeling a little paranoid because I feel like you're really going after me but I am NOT the only one that has put a vote up, but I'm primarily the one you're digging in to, IMHO. YMMV.

Can we put an end to it for now? Once we get a Day under us and start some vote analysis, then.

I don't know if Balki claim is true or not but I strongly think he is town. Don't see any reason for scum to fake claim about it at this moment. Don't know if the claim is a benefit for town, it depends on a lot of variables, but it's a good way to be sure you stay alive longer, which I can see Balki thinking it's a huge benefit (to him).
Interesting point; as usual a very rational Rivera response. Thanks for the input.

@worcej, what do you find interesting about it? Does it cause you to lean Balki in one direction or another?
