We're now legitimately bothered that we don't know who the hell James White could be. Or just jealous we couldn't be someone or something a little more festive.

Vote: Drag because Jesus is bad for you That sounds like something Satan would say. vote: Green Baron or whatever name you're going by today but we're going to call you Green Baron because keeping up with your song-title-as-name changes is just too hard, even for all of us put together. all these people and only one brain, how sad.

To clarify, not that the flavors have anything to do with anything, but still it's good to know.
Also I wouldn't just buy what Drag and josh are saying either. Not that they're lying or that I think they are, just that Jesus and Not Jesus are provided claims-- be they legit or fake. I think at least one could be, but both probably aren't fake claims (too obvious) and both could be real flavors. Just something to keep in mind though, one could be lying.

Hey Kunt and everyone else. To clarify, Jesus is my flavor. I find the "Not Jesus" flavor from Josh odd but not reason enough to put a vote on him. In some games, flavors did give us clues but honestly, relying solely on it is not a wise idea.
Vote: Zebra because I feel like it.

#MOD: Flavour roles do not have any real-world significance. You're not going to find hidden relevance by Googling them; they all just things I thought up.

Vote: Cythnia because why not. I noticed a popstop bottom bandwagon while I was gone hmmmm...... You're only noticing this now? Ok but really we've played how many games? Who reads the OP But nevermind. If you're "Not Jesus" and Drag is (or thinks he is) Jesus then I guess that theory's out. So we have a Jesus and a Not Jesus. In real life theory, people who believe they're Jesus are (obviously) not Jesus and are deemed insane. So might that mean that josh being Not Jesus is a sign that he's not insane? Like, I'm not Jesus. All of us are not Jesus and we can refer to ourselves as such and it's 100% accurate. (funny story, a girl I work with we call Not Chelsea because she looks like another girl we used to work with whose name was Chelsea. lmao)
So I'm wondering if all of our flavour roles are of people who are historically (or fictionally) insane and whether there might be clues in them? Because if flavour roles are otherwise meaningless, why the ever-constant need for everyone to reveal theirs every game? nevermind. Az clarified flavours have no relevance to anything. For the record, I'm Chuckles, asylum patient. That's literally it. I don't speak or communicate with anyone and all I do is laugh. LMAO. I can live with that. can you?

Management has put the asylum under lockdown - nobody in or out, for the patients' safety. The wards are all being sectioned off, one by one. They started with the criminally insane, things are getting out of hand enough without psycho killers breaking loose and getting a run of the place. Soon they're gonna get to the misfits. The ones they weren't quite sure what to do with.
Apparently law enforcement is getting involved. It's all very hush hush - officers going undercover as new in-patients to try and get a sense of what's really been going on. The staff haven't been told, of course, but it wouldn't be a total surprise if a couple of them start catching on. I mean it's a little difficult to fake insanity. Sure, there's what you see in the movies, but the psych guys here are trained to pick out the real stuff from the Hollywood white-wash.
If the fuzz don't get caught they're either really good actors or they're certifiable themselves. It makes you worry, doesn't it...Day 1 ContinuesDeadline has been set for 06.11.2015 11:59PM EDTIt takes 7/12 votes to lynch! Day One: Vote Count 2Baron: Cynthia Cynthia: Baron Kunt: Kunt, Popstop Libra: Josh, Mikey Mikey: Daryl Popstop: Mike, Zebra Zebra: Drag Not Voting: Surfboardt, Libra

I have a few questions for everyone to answer:
1. If we are near deadline, what should be a deciding vote factor (ie. lack of activity, deception, etc.)? 2. How do you feel about using a deadline and when do you think it should be necessary 3. Since we are still in RVS, what should we as a group do to progress into the game?
It wouldn't be fair if I asked questions and didn't answer them myself.
1. I feel like day 1 is always a shot at the dark. I think looking at a player's reaction or lack of reaction to certain comments can be scum or town tells.
2. I think saving the deadline extension for a bit later in the game will be more beneficial. Town will need the extra time when there is more information to go off of.
3. I think answering these questions is a good start at getting out of RVS.

1. In a perfect world we'd just have an indicator or pick up on a tip, but these games rarely work that way so yeah... Given how short D1 is, we need to hone in on something. Activity isnt a bad option, but it's not a good one either.
2. Not on D1. Save it for when we absolutely need it. To be honest, D1 is usually the fuck up day anyway. Not saying we should at all (omg), but my point is it doesn't matter as much to use one now as it could later if we do.
3. I agree that answering questions-- or prodding discussion rather-- is a good idea (in theory), but if I may ask @drag27 do you hope to gain anything specific out of this set of questions? Not meant to be condescending, I'm just trying to understand your train of thought.
--
Read back through the thread since anxiety about my first day of class tomorrow is keeping me up, but let's see... These aren't hard reads, but I think Drag, Cynthia, and Libra are town-ish to me right now based on a couple of things they said, even in RVS. Or I'm falling victim to the "activity = innocence" fallacy, but whatever.
Now, about activity, I don't think scum would just blindly not show up by now, because it's just shitty play, so I'm gonna rule out Surf too on a speculatory whim based on admittedly shaky logic. unvote: Surf. So that rules out four people in my mind for D1, at least. Not that I have an idea of who to incriminate, honestly.
What about y'all. Anything? Or am I just really tired and reading too far into RVS lol

I do have another reasoning for it, but I'd rather share that later on.

Anywho, for all the other players, I'd ask you to please answer those questions within the next 24 hours. The more responses, the better for town imo. I say 24 hours since it'd be preferable if we had an additional 24 hours after everyone has participated to determine who would be the best individual to vote out.

Baron 01. Lack of activity I guess? Unless somebody does something that's obviously suspicious then we don't really have any leads and would almost have to go by lack of activity alone. That's not ideal, though, as somebody could simply be busy and we could lose a town member. Not really sure here, but lack of activity could be a last resort. 02. Definitely wait. Day 1 isn't really as productive as later days and we don't want to waste the extension on today. 03. I like your idea for these questions (i.e. encouraging discussion) and hopefully once most everyone has answered it'll give us something substantial to work with.

How do you feel about using a deadline and when do you think it should be necessary 3. Since we are still in RVS, what should we as a group do to progress into the game?It wouldn't be fair if I asked questions and didn't answer them myself. 1. I feel like day 1 is always a shot at the dark. I think looking at a player's reaction or lack of reaction to certain comments can be scum or town tells. 2. I think saving the deadline extension for a bit later in the game will be more beneficial. Town will need the extra time when there is more information to go off of. 3. I think answering these questions is a good start at getting out of RVS. 1. There's a myriad of things to consider that fall under two areas: Level of activity - Too little? Too much? Just enough? Consistency (or lack thereof)? Reactions to actions, or lack thereof - Who reacted to who, or what? When did they react? Why? (This last often contains much speculation.) I can't help but think there's more to this, but nothing else is coming to mind at the moment... 2. We might, possibly, not need it. Since a majority is NOT required to lynch in this game if we reach the deadline without one, this forms a critical part of our gameplay dynamic. I'd think this would affect both Town and Scum strategies. Having said this, my thought is that it'd only be necessary if Town is in a bad situation - either MYLO or LYLO, or getting close to either point. I'll admit to making somewhat of an educated guess with this, only because I haven't played a game not requiring majority lynches until now. 3. We're starting to move out of it now. Continuing to ask questions, and analyzing people's actions with respect to the state of the game will keep us on the right path. NGL though, saying "we're still in RVS" in that question is kind of arbitrary. Also, two other points I want to make: 1) We, as Town, should NEVER EVER let the game fall into a state of "activity limbo" where nothing is being said or done. Scum can, and usually do, use this to coast through Days - they will hide under this cover.2) It'd be very beneficial for us to be taking notes on game activity - who voted who, who said what, and so forth, as well as when these things happened. You never know when you may need to refer to a specific event later on when you're either conducting an analysis, or presenting a case for someone to be Scum. Also, start note-taking NOW, while it's early - once the game reaches many many pages, it becomes that much harder to start notes if you have not yet done so.

1. Lack of activity shouldn't really be a factor, imo, unless there is literally nothing else to go off of. D1 it's often pretty hard to say what we should or shouldn't do.
2. I think using a deadline extension is almost always an excuse for people to either be lazy, or something people (want to) use because they have already been lazy. Definitely more useful later in the game than early in the game, generally speaking.
3. Getting out of RVS is not something you can force, really. I suppose these questions are a good start, but usually there's just some sort of trigger that happens to get us out. I suppose someone could play something, say something specific to try to get us to move on, or whatever.
