       Wish I could have had more time to organize everything
       but I have a class at 5 and something I need to do after class
       As for my lynch, it's a bit early to make anymore speculations
       on Penguin or to lynch him IMO. It's a risky thing to play on
       Day 1 if you are a wolf, but, risk wise, from a wolf's
       perspective it's a pretty good strategy iMO. I want to elaborate
       more upon this later but I don't have time due to class.
       For now, I also want Lena to say something before evn making
       another decision. I am surprised she hasn't actually said much,
       but I know she's also still doing other things too.
       Unlynch Penguin for now if I have not already

       I really liked KKE's response post, I think it actually does
       justify her behavior pretty well. If I'm not mistaken she was
       suspected last game for the same reason and turned out to be
       town so this is consistent behavior so her post checks out imo -
       although it should defo be acknowledged that a lot of her post
       was metagame-y (and analyzing Penguin's strategy on the side)
       and I know that metagaming is a very iffy strategy with people
       even though I personally am fine with it.
       In regards to the the overlooming KKE v.s. Penguin thing going
       on and it's not a 1 is definitively wolf 1 is definitively good
       thing - they could both be evil or good, but that should be
       common sense. So I don't really want to lynch either one of them
       at this point but we'll see how this develops in the near
       future.

       I'm leaning slightly more towards Penguin being evil just
       because of how ridiculously similar this is to how his playstyle
       was in Tick Tock 2, but I genuinely cannot see both him and Iz
       being evil, given that there are no independent roles aside from
       the ultimately rather benign Borrower. Sure, theoretically it
       could be some advanced bussing strategy, but I feel like
       implementing something so risky this early on in the game would
       not only be out of character, but also a pretty questionable
       decision given the desperation gimmick this game - and that's
       without even mentioning that there's far too much pushback from
       both of them on each other for bussing to be likely here.

       Hello all. I just what got pinged by Nick to check this since I
       was unaware this had ALREADY started.
       So for Day 1, I'm gonna read through stuff primarily, quote
       where I feel it's necessary and get my lynch vote in whenever.
       I probably might need an extension myself to do this since my
       internet screws up in 50 minutes.

       Here's just a weigh-in of risks from non-wolf and wolf on D1
       As a non-wolf on Day 1:
       Definitive Information:
       - you don't know anything for certain. You can only rely on your
       gut, user responses to situations, and meta. If no one ignites
       ANY discussion, then it would be pretty much a complete random
       lynch. You know you have to get someone lynched no matter what
       and you'd hope it's not a town, but, nothing is confirmed. It's
       all a matter of instinct.
       - you want wolves dead because having a wolf dead benefits both
       Indie and Town
       As a wolf on Day 1:
       Definitive Information:
       - you know all your wolves vs. non-wolves
       - you have a team --> however, considering how much many
       experienced players have tried to bring up "buddying", I've
       honestly seen more scum players use this excuse or argument as a
       call-out than town players AFAICR. Why?
       [list]
       [li]As a wolf, there's probably going to be at least one player
       who is very careful of trying not to appear as if you are
       buddying as a wolf because you know it's arguments people have
       made in the past. You don't want to even risk having anything
       come off as buddying[/li]
       [li]i.e.: kowhai made an assumption last game that I was
       buddying with Lena. At least with experienced players like me or
       Penguin, I feel like we'd know better to not buddy or make it
       even SEEM like we are buddying with another fellow wolf. I've
       only seen wolves accuse or suspect others of buddying for the
       most part without the slightest consideration that the people
       being accused may have already been smart enough to think about
       coming across as not trying to buddy. [/li]
       [li]they know who is wolf and who's not, and if anyone who is
       Town even seems like they are buddying or says anything out of
       line.. when there is contention during a day without hard
       evidence, a wolf might try to call it out because it's an
       assumption ANYONE can notice, not JUST a wolf[/li][/list]
       - it's in the wolf's dominant strategy to try and get a town
       lynched Day 1 no matter what; you don't want to risk even having
       a wolf be called out or lynched Day 1, and sometimes, speaking
       up a bit more about a town player that behaved even a tad bit
       out the ordinary, might cause people to take action against that
       town player because it wouldn't be hard to make up something
       like "hey no one else had any better leads; it was just
       something people noticed and agreed on after i brought it up
       too"
       - worst case scenario?? if a wolf is lynched D2 after getting a
       town lynched D1, this situation is ALWAYS better than having a
       wolf getting lynched on D1
       It's a lot safer for a wolf to play riskier and push more on Day
       1 IMO than for a Town to play Risky IMO with all that being said
       And with that being said, it was why I chose to remain hesitant
       and skeptical and wishy-washy. I wanted to be attentive to
       Penguin more because of meta. And in all honesty, Penguin's
       strategy seemed very very risky to play as a town role.
       I honestly want to hear others' thoughts of this before making a
       final decision. I also want to hear some people like
       Leia/Penguin give a second response
       [/list]

       Okay hmm interesting
       [quote author=KitKats link=topic=27.msg640#msg640
       date=1586897003]
       It seems like the vast majority of the argument against me is
       based on how I suddenly changed my mind and wasn’t as confident
       in what I was saying or lynching. People probably think I am
       always super confident according to past game.
       This is not true. If you are going to base an argument that I am
       not wishy-washy usually, it’s only if I have definitive
       evidence.[/quote]Ah so I wasn't metagaming you as a player
       specifically. I was trying to make the point that wishy-washy,
       jumpy behavior is a wolf indicator for everyone. And you are
       currently being wishy-washy and jumpy.
       The next part of your defense is a big paragraph explaining why
       you just are a wishy washy player, and your behavior in this
       game isn't really all that different from your behavior last
       game. But here's why I think your metagaming of yourself is
       wrong:
       - In the Jailkeeper, you actually backed up your claims. When
       you went from Super Boomen to Nick, you actually cited multiple
       specific quotes and strung together a decent case (that I was v
       happy about because it meant I had help lynching my targets as
       exe). When you went from Le_Shrub to Penguin, you just said
       Penguin was sus, and then lynched.
       - In the Jailkeeper, you were more careful with your lynch. Your
       day 1 lynch, Colts, threw out a lynch that without any
       explanation. You asked Colts a few questions and proded a bit
       before you lynched him on Day 1.  Penguin, like Colts, threw out
       a lynch without any explanation. You did no question asking, no
       prodding- you just said it was sus, and then lynched.
       - In the Jailkeeper, your multiple theories about
       me/Jess/Kowhai/Nick etc. were your own ideas. Sure, people had
       probably mentioned "hey jess is a lil sus maybe check that out
       later", but for the most part, you were bringing them up on your
       own, explaining why you wanted to probe them later, and then
       following through and probing them later. Whereas in this game,
       so much of page 2 in Desperation is you just responding
       positively to Penguin's thoughts.
       @Avy I think it would be whack if this was bussing just because
       of how inactive KKE has been- wolf!Penguin has had many
       opportunities to back down because of her inactivity, and he
       hasn't. But also important to keep scumPenguin in mind just
       cause he is a weird player and it was an interesting strategy
       (even though I liked it).
       @Lena so who do you want to lynch then? Le_Shrub is the only
       other sus case that's been going around so far (unless you count
       KKE's thing against Zech). Are you thinking him, or is there
       someone else you wanna bring up?

       Don't like how Boomen and Zech claimed human after LeShrub
       brought up stuff about Meta. Even though LeShrub seems like he
       made a genuine mistake (like the timing of his posts show that
       he was pretty quick to post again), he did still note that the
       less people we have claim human, the more safety there is for
       blue roles as a whole.
       Particularly, I found it interesting that last game, people were
       talking about Boomen always being quick to claim if he was a
       blue role or town role. I've never seen him play Human before,
       but has anyone ever played with him being Human? Would like to
       hear more people offer advice on his past playing behavior.
       [b]Lynching Zech/b]
       Even as a legit Human, he acted completely like a Maniac/Fool
       last game to the point where it didn't benefit town at all; I
       really don't like how Zech claimed Human even after Shrub
       acknowledged his own mistake of claiming Human to give more
       protection for blue roles
       [/quote]
       Primarily, this caught my interest.
       Now, I don't know too much about last game, let's admit that,
       but overall, given how both did it as their very first post, I
       doubt they wouldn't have seen what Le Shrub would have put down
       for sure. I don't like it either, but that's my impression from
       Page 1.
       Will keep you all updated on later pages.

       **** I missed the start I was asleep :( Huzzy joining the game
       is great tho, despite my disinterest in the Borrower role.
       KKE beat me to what I was going to say about L_S, although I
       came to a different conclusion than she did. I thought it seemed
       totally wolfy, the difference in time between the posts felt so
       prepared, and I think he would remember the meta.
       Zech and Boomen claiming human after L_S pointing that out is
       also sus but I think it's more in character for them.
       Lynch L_S.
       [/quote]
       I've never seen them play, honestly, but let's actually look at
       timestamps:
       [quote author=Le_Shrub link=topic=27.msg510#msg510
       date=1586797618]
       [quote author=Le_Shrub link=topic=27.msg508#msg508
       date=1586797588]
       Mmmm first human game
       [/quote]
       Or wait is the meta not to human claim so the important roles
       are protected? Crap.
       [/quote]
       I don't understand how would you prepare to do all that in 30
       seconds, although I do indeed see where you are coming from.
       My question to you Penguin here is what actually made you
       believe the timing was actually prepared? For example, what is
       the main standout factor to you aside from "remembering the
       meta"?
