Alright so I'm going to be pulling up some quotes from what I consider the most crucial period of Day 1 which is after the duel was announced and when the lynch outside of Kurumi was being debated upon
A lot of this is selective - it's a fuckload of quotes even so, but I try to capture the scope of what I feel is commentary that looks good/bad from existing players. Feel free to go back and check for yourselves
Starting point, there was technically some votes around the assumption Kurumi was being dueled but before this it was somewhat negligible
Ekko's entry, noted.
Aurelian's Entry, noted.
Ratchet's entry, also noted.
Ichigo's entry, absent of another placed vote. Should note that they were very scarcely around since Sky died and have now popped up more right when the second vote is in determination.
Doddsy comes in and claims
Lethal also makes an entrance after having largely been MIA
Ratchet begins questioning Dodd, then surveys if Bachi should claim.
Lethal voting for duel absent of a second vote.
A lot of back and forth between Doddsy and Ratchet, nothing here remotely close to being unpartnered. From this, could be Ratchet helping set the stage for his entrance, mostly neutral.
Ratchet suddenly brings up Craig and draws in Flower
Aurelian seems to momentarily entertain the idea of the duel going the other way
Here Ratchet is complaining more about the Duel's usage - consistent.
Ratchet's vote comes after Flower's
Aurelian seems to suggest that Kurumi is scum and that T-Pein can be aligned which is basically just shit.
Flavor nonsense accepted by Aurelian and rebutted by Kiku
Aurelian stamps progression onto Dodd town
Dodd takes the avaliable CW
This is in regards to CP. CP's read in question involves Ratchet and how Sky approaching him wasn't enough for a town lock, but CP still produces a town lean. This is a very strong response.
Pivots on to Bachi here, interesting since that leaves Dodd a bit unguarded, but almost immediately pulls back
This is just blatant overreach
Same but it;s Fang, so easier to believe he assigns importance to this crap
Ratchet immediately sounds defeated for he knows this spells his doom!
Aurelian pivots to Bachi
Ratchet seems very demoralized and tosses his hands in the air. Possibly a genuine reaction, but it's a little heavy handed
This looks ok.
Ratchet seems genuinely frustrated he's not being listened to - I believe it. The quitting seems a bit performative because I'm not sure his confidence in this argument is earned.
Continues arguing the point - again, I think it is a bit of an over extension.
^ Ichi and Aurelian cooking up some Lethal
GP enters casting a duel vote
This is where I began to feel Ratchet was forcing the issue, he's finding multiple angles to scum read CP by and comes right out and tosses Dood a town read for very un-ratchety reasons
Just wanna note that Ekko is arguing that Kurumi could be town when positionally as scum he has 0 incentive for this
Ratchet is just dogging me hard. I think he's aware my say-so atp is important so turning me over here is important for his case to go through. Implies unsolicited defense.
+1 for kekko
Oof. Especially considering Ratchet had a vote casted earlier on Dodd, he should be well aware.
Ratchet is coming out swinging *for* Doddsy and not letting me question him without interruption, in spite of the fact that he just took issue with me doing this
+1 T-Pein
CAP
I had to cut this short since I'm tired as shit, basically I think Ratchet came off as disproportionally invested in saving Doddsy about as much as I'd expect him to as scum, being careful not to go completely overboard but doing everything he effectively could to prevent him going over until it was basically too late. Aurelian is arguing against Dodd too, but, well, Aurelian.
Not too many chirps around counterwagons otherwise. From this alone I would say good odds one of the quieter posters (GP/Goddess/Ichigo) were keeping up and seeing where things were going before placing a vote down on Dodd. I would expect active players who are bussing/already successfully bussed to hedge a little more and let other avenues of suspicion take hold.
will wrap up tomorrow

may not be able to read everything, i trust in town to do the best!

I am saying I think Doddsy is aligned with Sky.

Vote T-Pein to win the duel
Ichigo's entry, absent of another placed vote. Should note that they were very scarcely around since Sky died and have now popped up more right when the second vote is in determination.
Mmm, I suppose even though there's been literally not a single reason given for it that is actually based on what happened in the game.
I'm Sanji, Amp, x shot
Doddsy comes in and claims
Why are we wanting Pein to win the duel? Strapped for time and cba reading his posts :shrug:
Lethal also makes an entrance after having largely been MIA
@Doddsy How does the amp work functionally here? Like in what way does it upgrade?
Thoughts on Bachi claiming today?
Ratchet begins questioning Dodd, then surveys if Bachi should claim.
Vote: Pein to win the duel
Lethal voting for duel absent of a second vote.
It makes them harder to prevent is as far as I'd be willing to say, to avoid giving out too much info
Doddsy you're about to be lynched, why is giving away your role your concern here?
If I'm lynched, what difference does it make, if I'm not, I'd rather it still have a chance to be effective
It not making a difference is exactly why you should be willing to divulge the minutiae of your claim. You are not a WGer, you understand the value of role is minimal compared to the player its attached to.
A lot of back and forth between Doddsy and Ratchet, nothing here remotely close to being unpartnered. From this, could be Ratchet helping set the stage for his entrance, mostly neutral.
As an aside I think Craig might be scum, his argument that Sky would just know T-Pein was faking the duel there doesn't really stand up and merely suits his interpretation. @Psychic What do you think of Craig so far?
@Rena Thoughts on Craig?
Ratchet suddenly brings up Craig and draws in Flower
I'll be transparent here: I think she has but I really am not vibing with T-Pein's play this game and we've seen scum utilize duels many times in ranked games which is a case for concern. At the very least he should claim his flavor.
Aurelian seems to momentarily entertain the idea of the duel going the other way
I do, and I'm being pushed to claim purely on the back of people misrepresenting events. Me stating what will still prevent the role and what will not prevent the role is worthless information in deciding whether or not you buy the claim
I'm not hiding anything, literally my role says that certain things will work and certain things won't. There's no benefit to me really giving it away as to what is what
I don't really like how you're answering my question by bringing up T-Pein who has nothing to do with what I asked. I don't think T-Pein is cleared over his duel at all. He made it claiming that he thinks Kurumi will flip town too.
False, more information can help because currently the role as described is very vague.
Possibly not.
I sure do love that we used the duel and now have to decide a lynch in 6 hours, who could have seen this coming?
Here Ratchet is complaining more about the Duel's usage - consistent.
Vote: CraigPelton
Ratchet's vote comes after Flower's
Not sure what was wrong with my answer. The topic of Kurumi is tied with T-Pein, whose operating strangely from his norm and I don't think it's strange to bring that up.
I think your right that he took advantage of the situation and her flip doesn't clear him at all.
Aurelian seems to suggest that Kurumi is scum and that T-Pein can be aligned which is basically just shit.
Feels like him claiming Sanji would be a bold move if he is scum given we know Kaidou's gang are the villains in the game.
It's not really vague, it can prevent certain roles from interfering with the shot, but others can still prevent it so it's not a guaranteed hit still. I just don't feel telling everyone what can effectively counter the role is really good business when it's unnecessary info
Sanji is one of the main protagonists of the story.
For fucks sake not this shit again
You've played previous Melkor games and know how he uses lore with flavor, you know this is a gamble if your willing to risk it. I'm not gonna really debate it any more but I'll hold my reservations about it.
Flavor nonsense accepted by Aurelian and rebutted by Kiku
Not arguing that.
Go a few pages back, I posted it.
Only change would be shifting Doddsy light town.
Aurelian stamps progression onto Dodd town
Vote lynch Doddsy
Unvote Vote CP
I think Bachi is probably my preferred go to but in the interest of self preservation
Dodd takes the avaliable CW
I went over it a little bit ago - I don't like his position on Ekko/T-Pein and his take regarding Sky spew feels manufactured to evidence his read rather than the other way around.
This is in regards to CP. CP's read in question involves Ratchet and how Sky approaching him wasn't enough for a town lock, but CP still produces a town lean. This is a very strong response.
In regards to Ekko.Parts of his play I think is out of his scum range but his early content was heavily agenda driven IMO and I don't want to give him a pass. GTH town but he should be removed soon.
Why would you claim flavour because your scum reads (Magic and I) asked for it?
Vote: Bachi
Actually not sure why he would do this as scum though either
Vote: CraigPelton
Pivots on to Bachi here, interesting since that leaves Dodd a bit unguarded, but almost immediately pulls back
Isn't he a chef? That can fit Amp reasonably well.
This is just blatant overreach
He's the crew's chef; feeds them and keeps them healthy with Chopper, so technically it can fit.
Same but it;s Fang, so easier to believe he assigns importance to this crap
THE BEAR enters with a very based assessment.As the CEO of CraigPelton scum reading I veto his lynch today
Vote Pein to win duel
Vote lynch Doddsy
Cool, why? I don't actively want him lynched outright anyway, I have my reservations with Doddsy as is but
Tbh I think I might as well just not bother
Ratchet immediately sounds defeated for he knows this spells his doom!
Yeah I can understand this.
Vote Lynch Bachi
Aurelian pivots to Bachi
Unvote
Nope, I was against this all along. You people wanted it, you people can go solve it
Ratchet seems very demoralized and tosses his hands in the air. Possibly a genuine reaction, but it's a little heavy handed
Don't really think Bachi is the way tbh
This looks ok.
Yeah I don't care, you guys can do what you want. I've made my argument, take it or leave it
I haven't claimed CP was a home run and I dont know why that needs to be the burden of evidence when he has otherwise done, what, exactly? I also said I didn't like his position around Ekko because it feels like he is, what do they say, good guying him.
Ratchet seems genuinely frustrated he's not being listened to - I believe it. The quitting seems a bit performative because I'm not sure his confidence in this argument is earned.
He has barely done anything Ultra. I give you all of this but your point is self-contradictory - you argue he would be pushing to get himself out of the box while also arguing he would be demotivated, when being demotivated is a perfectly reasonable explanation to not bother really trying to get himself out of "the box"
Continues arguing the point - again, I think it is a bit of an over extension.
What's your read about Lethal everyone?
I think he's scum, made an accusation at me, has synergy and equity with Bachi along with Sky and hadn't been seen since.
^ Ichi and Aurelian cooking up some Lethal
Vote T-Pein to win duel
GP enters casting a duel vote
Would this not be satisfied by him calling Psychic his Queen? Forces an interaction he can fall back on while he does exactly nothing with it.
On gut I think Doddsy might be town lol, that or he just doesn't really care which is harder to reconcile here
This is where I began to feel Ratchet was forcing the issue, he's finding multiple angles to scum read CP by and comes right out and tosses Dood a town read for very un-ratchety reasons
yes very funny, so why can't kurumi be town that just rage quiited for reasons independent of sky's flip
yeah shes very susceptible to rage quitting as either alignment
Just wanna note that Ekko is arguing that Kurumi could be town when positionally as scum he has 0 incentive for this
Again, contradictory. You simultaneously argue he would both mail it in and try harder.
Your contention that it's premature is pointless too because the wagon is the formation of pressure to better inform the read. You hard veto it before he even reacts to it for ??? reasons
Ratchet is just dogging me hard. I think he's aware my say-so atp is important so turning me over here is important for his case to go through. Implies unsolicited defense.
yeah arguing for sake of being open minded to possibilities
unfortunately i wasnt able to play as much as i hoped, but i think a doddsy direction is not a bad one. i have read exactly up to post 180 + playing live for a bit. i understand my opinion does not mean much now but a second lynch helps everyone, i'll comb over thread at night if i find time
+1 for kekko
No the wagon is a wagon at this point
And the second part of that sentence?
I dont strongly town read him but why are you risk averse with Craig but not magic?
What part was unclear?
I don't really think it's impossible to reconcile his posts as frustration. That said, I agree, but if you're playing out of consideration for gamestate then you don't need to take a swing here at all. Magic is one of my weaker townread but I do think what he has been saying makes sense.
It's not really fucking around though, CP has done next to nothing. Not really strongly seeing the case on Doddsy either but the claim is w/e, I would not be surprised to see him flip town.
Oof. Especially considering Ratchet had a vote casted earlier on Dodd, he should be well aware.
I mean if someone wants to give me a reason I'm being voted I'm happy to discuss it.
The only reason I've seen so far is I attached to Sky's vote on Tweet, which is wildly incorrect as our reasonings were completely different.
What did you manage to accomplish before Sky's lynch that makes you, in your estimation, town?
You're stacking the deck against him here by requiring him to make an argument you know he cant. He said he has nothing to defend with, not that he should be lock town.
Ratchet is coming out swinging *for* Doddsy and not letting me question him without interruption, in spite of the fact that he just took issue with me doing this
Sure, agreed
I genuinely have no idea
I honestly didn't realise we were as low on time as are
You could try actually answering the question of why exactly I'm scum instead of trying to divert into asking me to prove my town ness. I never look like town, it's part of my charm
What sort of threat to a miller is being made vanilla if you claim, when your role is 1 shot?
+1 T-Pein
CAP
A Miller Duelist that can't claim anything until his duel is used, including Miller.
Don't really think T-Pein fake claims Miller here though.
Don't buy it.
Probably because you providing a satisfactory answer to this question is really the only thing I'm interested in, otherwise you can go with your whole holding up doing fuck all on a pedestal. I don't think this expectation of yours applies to anyone else either given how easily you voted CP.
Thanks for playing.
Anyways, I've had Town vibes for T-Pein, even if I don't support his earlier tunnel vision on Ultra.
Well I'm about to go to bed anyway, 1:10am for me.
What expectation? To do nothing? I haven't done nothing in any way. The sheer fact you can not give a single reason to actually want to vote me should realistically shatter any sort of momentum this vote has.
I dunno what sort of answer you expect for this question, I pushed Tweet with a reason that made sense to me? Then I went to bed and came back after work where I was already voted a bunch? Genuinely a mind boggling question
I mean in summary of why I shouldn't be voted, when asked Ultra is quite literally incapable of giving a reason for me to be voted and he's probably the one pushing the hardest.
If you still want to go for it I mean by all means, there's literally nothing more I feel needs to be pointed out here
Night all!
How am I pulling a Kurumi, I'm going to bed not giving up on life.
As I said, if anyone can actually give a reason then that'd be one thing but I can't defend against nothing
vote lynch magic
i'll accept the offer
...You ask for a case, and then say the one thing you've done in this game doesn't count because you had a reason lol
Yeet Doodley
Would prefer flipping T-Pein, Craig, or Bachi first tbh. Also forgot Whicker was in the game.
who r u voting, just consider me a +1 to it rn
I'll consider the point before conceded Ekko, thank you for playing.
Vote: Doddsy
Vote for hire etc...
bet
vote lynch doddsy
I sure love how most of the players most strongly in favour of getting a second lynch and really maximising town momentum have mostly opted to sheep elsewhere instead of actually doing anything for themselves.
This is a slot not many talked about
Actually I'm okay with this too, I have Lethal as one of my top suspects as well.
Vote Lynch Lethal
I can, actually I have notes, but I wanted to keep them for myself
@Magic
@Rena
@Ekkologix
@Hans Tweetenberg
@Doddsy
@Whicker
@Ultra
Can I interest you in wagoning Lethal who I'm positive is not playing his town game?
@Psychic If you are town you are making it very hard. Come on, you think Craig is scum - go get him!
I doubt Luffy will be claiming.
I feel like he did something similar last game though. I've been alright with some of his posting today actually, though not convinced. I don't like his claim.
I'm just offering a counterwagon, might end up voting for Doddsy at the end tho
dibby coming back after 1 year only to roll scum again, you hate to see it
![]()
I have my suspicions, not sure why he flipped flopped on unvoting for her after she threw in the towel only to have a change of heart and start advocating for her to be dueled. Though he does seem to believe this is a bastard game if Sanji is a fake claim, so I guess being fooled by a Yamato claim is somewhat consistent with that. I'm willing to hold off on them for the time being.
Vote Lynch Dobbsy
Regardless, I'm interested in seeing how this Dobbsy situation plays out. Now that things are heating up it seems there are a few last ditch efforts going to direct the lynch elsewhere.
I had to cut this short since I'm tired as shit, basically I think Ratchet came off as disproportionally invested in saving Doddsy about as much as I'd expect him to as scum, being careful not to go completely overboard but doing everything he effectively could to prevent him going over until it was basically too late. Aurelian is arguing against Dodd too, but, well, Aurelian.
Not too many chirps around counterwagons otherwise. From this alone I would say good odds one of the quieter posters (GP/Goddess/Ichigo) were keeping up and seeing where things were going before placing a vote down on Dodd. I would expect active players who are bussing/already successfully bussed to hedge a little more and let other avenues of suspicion take hold.
will wrap up tomorrow
