Coming from anyone except Wylted, I would’ve townread them for claiming an Atypical bacteria. Issue with Wylted is that he’d just claim his own character even with the fake claims available

This is true, especially in a game like this where town isn't going to figure out the theme. I do worry about getting into doxxing character but I think everyone knows who whiteflame is. This guy has a PHD in biology there is a good chance the theme split is some nuance none of us have any hope of deciphering without the same specialized knowledge.

Nah give ur thoughts bro no one’s stopping you

Interesting

@Mharman
I appreciate that, I just meant since my read is so neutral at the moment than its worthless to even mention. Ultimately I hope banana replaces in and Mikal hasn't grown too bored with the site to participate.

@WyIted
Okay
Sorry guys, I've been busy. I'm going to read through the first three pages and give reads. They were roughly accurate before, but you can expect the estimates to be very conservative as they were in the last game.

@Savant
You are not gonna have much to read lol
Maybe the theme is something like famous pandemic causing bacteria (mafia) vs everything else.

I mean, WF quite explicitly said this wasn't the case in the OP.

@Casey_Risk
WHy do you guys actually read the op? Let me back track
just read op, he does not claim a simple theme split so my theory is still alive

Where?

I think Casey is referring to this part: "I'll try to avoid too much technical information and jargon in this game, mainly to make sure everyone can understand what I'm posting."

How often would you say games with 9 players have a third party or 3 scum instead of 2?

Pretty uncommon. Most likely it’s 7-2

Actually, I was thinking of the signups page.
No, you don't need to have detailed knowledge of microbiology to understand the theme.

If you took high school biology, you probably know some version of the acronym for taxonomic ranks (i.e. the way we classify and thus relate different organisms): KPCOFGS (Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species). We all learned some way to remember that order, but you probably don't know that Kingdom isn't the top of that pile anymore. There's a step above it called Domain, and the interesting thing is that there are two whole domains for Prokaryotes (single celled organisms without a nucleus) - Bacteria and Archaea - and just one domain for everything else - Eukarya. Archaea contains a lot of interesting microbes called extremophiles that can survive and thrive in extreme environments, e.g. those undersea boiling hot vents and some even live in the Dead Sea.

I see you aren't a believer in the two-domain classification system, then.

Heard of it. I think the three domain classification system has more support behind it.

I'm down with that. Just looked over the last game and realized my reads were worse than random chance until inactives showed up.

Update: Given AR still hasn't gotten back to me at all and we're almost 12 hours in, I'm going ahead with a switch up. iamanabanana will be taking his place in this game. I've updated the OP to reflect that.

Going to start doing a series on methods of isolating or enriching for certain organisms. There's an organism called Caulobacter which can survive in extremely low nutrient environments by just anchoring itself with an extension called a holdfast. They're often found in standing or running water, so we always used to just take a sample from one of our water baths that had been sitting for a while to find them. They don't grow fast, but are they ever hardy.

What gram is your bacteria?

@whiteflame
Wait should votes be updated too or do the votes on banana go to zero?

Good point. The votes will stand right now, I'll tag those with votes on her atm.

Hello
Anybody else got any reads rn? Null on Wylted and Savant, maybe a tad bit uneasy.
