According to the media, I am sick. So I may as well claim the win.

True. While I don't personally ghost hunt, I've got a friend who does and I've seen him come back with enough things over the years to think there could be something. TNP donates blood / plasma / other body parts.

It's been 15(ish) years. I'm sure you can let me have the guard back.

To quote Martina McBride, this win's for the girls.

True. TNP has a list of new year's resolutions for 2024.

True. Never owned, but have fired a pistol and a 20 gauge. TNP has served in the military.

False. Iron Maiden on the other hand? Possibly. TNP has been to a live concert.

False TNP can play a musical instrument

Not a fan of Mike Johnson as speaker. A former senior spokesman for the LGBTQ+ hate group Alliance Defending Freedom spells bad news. Especially if the republicans try to poison pill bills to avoid a government shut down (or just in general really). That said, I want to ask a question. I agree this country has plenty of issues that need addressing. However, your "fake" issues are just as real as anything else. And even if gender issues are "fake" to use your example, why are republicans so obsessed with trans folk?

True - At least when I work on overnight shifts TNP has built their own computer.

Come, join the new game. I wont night-kill or lead the lynch against you, I promise.. *fingers crossed* is that the deal? no first lynch or night kill of VGM? lol, I promise i wont ( says with an overly large grin) And then I turn out to be mafia all along I might actually take a short break though. Undecided, but this last month has been much busier than I expected it to be and I'm switching back to overnights again next week which is always a bit of an adjustment that first week.

Oh, I didn't mean to make it sound like I was complaining. More just laughing at the situation. "You have this master plan and thought you were going to make it to night 2? You fool!"

Welp, I've learned not to try to make a quick post in the restroom when at work when the day immediately starts. And here I thought, oh, the mafia will think I'll commute night 1 since I typically get shot night 1 (or have in recent memory at least) so I'll let them think that and play a game of chicken with the mafia. That plan didn't quite come to fruition either I didn't have the chance to share my last minute thoughts since I was hoping I had the chance after work the day of the lynch, but I was beginning to suspect Imran might've been mafia. Or at the very least was isoc's killer. With nobody confessing, I was thinking maybe he was trying to score townie points when he was in fact the guilty party all along.

Not necessarily the only valid strategies for scum in this game. They may have decided to get off both their shots on N1. If they were successful there would 3 townies vs 2 scum. If they got one lislynch on D1, that means scum would win because both will commute on N2 and vigs wont be able to kill them. Its possible scum tried to frame you based on your D1 post. But obviously you do not think that likely, because you think townies killed him. And that you are adamant that a townie killed him makes me wonder what the strategy is here. For sure, there's plenty of potential strategies. I was just throwing out a couple thoughts of my own in that regard. The same could be same for town. Do you guarantee surviving to day 2 with protection or do you hold off as long as possible and try playing chicken with the mafia? My initial thinking was that the mafia might want to save their bullets (or at least one of them) for closer to the end game, but I could be very wrong on that. I think with the fact there's only been one kill, that was a logical conclusion to consider. But, there's no way of knowing if perhaps they both did fire and one of their shots missed thanks to commuting. I personally think that would be a bit reckless of scum to do that, so don't really consider that to be on the table. As for them trying to frame me, it's very much possible. I didn't take it up seriously at the beginning of the day, but I am starting to think more and more that's the case. And with some people being pretty quiet, they could just be waiting in the shadows while I get myself lynched. And speaking of hiding in shadows, I'd like to point out that LordSunday has YET to post for day 2.

I am not claiming to have shot iSoc. While the temptation may have been there, I figured it would be best to pressure him on day 2 (which unfortunately didn't happen with his death). I only would have liked to have seen more reasoning either when he made his vote, or even prior would have been fine. One could argue LordSunday could be in that camp as well with lack of activity. Which, he did slip my mind at that time, but looking back through day 1, he's only posted fluff as well with nothing meaningful. Which, to be fair, he was gone for a few days with his wedding. Just worth pointing out his posting prior to his departure. The fact that you want someone to have great reasoning with his posts on D1 with 0 info is supicious by itself. I'm obviously not expecting great reasoning, but is it too much to ask for people to possibly have thoughts about the setup and how they expect things to go? Not always applicable for everyone and specially not on D1. Most D1 posts are fluff with people making random votes or No lynch votes. They dont have to give any reasons because they have no info. You being an experienced player should know that very well. I have experience in the past, yes. But, unless my memory fails me, I do recall even day 1s being much more active in the past. Perhaps things have shifted in the 10-15 years since. The vast majority of my experience comes from the olden days and not so much recent games, so perhaps things have changed a bunch over the years. I'm beginning to notice that doesn't seem to be the trend these days however, so you can blame that on me being from the old guard.

If you feel lynching me is your best bet, then feel free. But not only will I come up town, the reasoning of Chaplain defending his scum buddy will go down the tubes as well.

Not everyone has posted yet during day 2, so someone inactive could have done the killing if we expect the killer to come out right away. But to me, it makes sense that the killer (especially if town) hasn't come clean because then it keeps the mafia guessing on which townies have their bullets left and which ones do not. Because presumably, the mafia would place townies without their bullets down the priority list of potential night victims. Refer to my earlier point. It's also easy to say that when there's no scrutiny being placed on you presently. I agree that a townie shouldn't have randomly shot someone in the dark, but doesn't change the fact that it could have happened. But if someone else was suspicious in anyway, and saw my post prior to the end of day 1, they could have seen that as validation to go through with their shot.

Ask yourself this though. Pretend you're the mafia. If you and your partner only have two shots, would you try to use one of them right away or would you save them for when your shots have more power? Because if I was mafia and I was at the endgame with no bullets vs two townies where at least one had a bullet, that's a terrifying situation to be in if you're scum. Not to mention the fact numerous people may have wanted to protect themselves night 1 by commuting, thus wasting a bullet. So it would make sense to save at least one if not both bullets night 1. It's why I don't presently suspect the isoc kill to be a scum kill unless they're using it to potentially frame me. I personally would expect night 2 to be bloodier, but who's to say? Shifting gears, what if the kill on isoc is someone with an itchy trigger finger. I would expect an itchier trigger to belong to somebody with less experience. Which, someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but most of us have a fair amount except for Empire? Not necessarily saying Empire is scum, but perhaps someone who's newer and not familiar with all the ins and outs would want to get their bullet off before being killed themselves? I am not claiming to have shot iSoc. While the temptation may have been there, I figured it would be best to pressure him on day 2 (which unfortunately didn't happen with his death). I only would have liked to have seen more reasoning either when he made his vote, or even prior would have been fine. One could argue LordSunday could be in that camp as well with lack of activity.

I'm obviously not expecting great reasoning, but is it too much to ask for people to possibly have thoughts about the setup and how they expect things to go? Yes, we all have thoughts about the setup, it was suggested multiple times on day 1 that the setup could lead to town on town violence. But your post is different, it feels like your trying to steer town away from putting any value into Isoc's death and the interactions he had with other people on day 1. AND COD coming to your defense also feels suspicious. I would not be surprised if VGM and COD are scum. The thing is, isoc didn't really have any interactions day 1 with anybody unless you count his post towards LordSunday concerning his wedding. Only other post was his no lynch vote with practically no other text.
