Things that constitute a kind of dick move: voting for me when I'm afk.

We're just acknowledging the suspect's choice to remain silent.

Vote: IHMN

I'm starting to feel that this concept of immediately lynching the miller is pretty bad, especially since scum will know that this a town lynch that they can get town behind, allowing for an easy kill where it's even harder to pin people for pushing a lynch too hard. I know IHMN is a power player, and pushing the miller lynch this hard without too much effort on trying to gain tells from other people feels more like a scum power play instead of a town power play. And now the recent post feels like he's placing an escape door, in case the end result isn't what he wants and he needs to back out of his dedication to lynching the miller.

IHMN is, quite honestly, on my hotlist too, but I was going to wait to see exactly how scummy he was acting, and if there was any signs of our Jailor [Freeze] getting any investigative powers out of his shit. [Probably not, but, it's not an unreasonable thing.]

I'm not going to go back to voting for Aldurin, yeeet. I honestly like his claim, he's playing his role correctly, and honestly? His claim woooould seem to fit.

I'm going to hold my vote back for now... but IHMN is on my hotseat.

The problem with identifying the members of Batman Inc. is that no one wants to be taken out of the game, especially if they are useful. So the protest I am seeing from nikose and aldurin SEEMS scummy, but could also be taken as normal reaction from a townie (inmate) who wants to stay in the game.

Unvote: Inbred Chocobo, Vote: IHMN for voting for a likely Miller, but I remain suspicious of Aldurin and Nikose.

Eh, mostly gut feeling and the like from reading this thread. I can't pin down exactly what I don't like, I just know I don't like it.

FoS: Inbred Chocobo

Okay, either this is a joke vote in which case it's kinda suspicious due to the relatively serious tone of the discussion we've been having recently (for day 1 anyway), or this is a serious vote where you're specifically taking advantage of Nik not being able to respond.

Either way's kinda fishy.

You could also be cult or self-aligned!

You guys need to consider what's going on with IHMN. Lynching a miller is a bad idea with how little information we have, especially since we haven't pursued it more heavily. I would have expected IHMN to be all over trying to identify every scumtell possible and build up a list, as shown from how strongly he plays in past games (fuck, vanilla that was pic restricted and holding everyone hostage with an instalynch is totally powerplaying), but instead he's maintained his vote and direction on me, expressing an interest in possibly changing his vote if more people start voting for someone else (i.e. if it became a bad idea to keep the vote on me). I will give you the perspective of how factions are likely responding to my claim.

Town: It's a grey area, where a PO won't do any good to help figure this out. Best thing you can do is keep a close eye on him and lynch him if you can't find any better leads.

Mafia: A great opportunity to start a lynch that townies will give little resistance to. When the miller flips town, all involved scum can hide among the crowd of "Well, at least we now know he isn't scum." without drawing too much attention to themselves.

Self-aligned/Cult:
Unsure

I see that IHMN is taking the mafia reaction, while trying to use town justifications which aren't really being followed through on. You guys have possibly on Nikose, and after that only a few joke voters to give you anything to work with.

Keep in mind that control of information helps town, whether through pursuit or easily clarifying statements, facts and votecounts. Not much is happening on that, especially from IHMN who would seem like one of the most likely to milk information out of us like a farmer on meth.

Trust me on this.

[Ravashak]

First off, there's no cult, Moogle said so in the sign-up thread. Second, you make far too much sense in this post, Aldurin, and I'm willing to follow through on this train of thought of yours.

Unvote: Aldurin
Vote: IHMN

To explain myself a bit here, I was willing to give Aldurin the benefit of the doubt when he initially claimed, though not to the point Nikose was, by instantly defining a story arc through a single roleclaim (for all we know, the game could be based on the games (which I didn't play either)). The, for lack of a better word, rage by Aldurin didn't feel justified to me, though, and it caused enough of a suspicion at that time to vote (as I explained before).
The latest post is a total turnaround, and for day 1, it's enough fo me to follow, agreeing with the points raised.

ps. There's no SMB in this game
pps. IC, wtfbbq? Waiting until someone announces they won't be there for a while to vote on them?
