I guess if he’s going to be that inactive this DP I don’t hate the idea either. I want to see a few more from a couple other people before I decide to join that wagon tho

So, what was the thought process behind delaying those reads? Was it what you’ve already said, or is there more to it?

Oh and as for my effort: pretty much depends on what mood I’m in. That’s all there is to it. My effort depends on much I feel like it

There are train tracks about 2/3 mile down the road from my house. Honestly the sound of one at night makes for soothing white noise. Sounds weird to say but whatever.
Would not be as nice if I lived next to them I think.

As for your set of reads, thank you. Helps me read you, and I’ll look at some of your other points on the morning. I already skimmed them but I’ll engage with them more.

I don’t think there’s a real point in pursuing Mikal for a claim yet. I’d give him more time to check in before that.
As for your read on me, noted. I was joking and fluffing a bit out of boredom. The townlean points have truth to them, although some of it easy to fake as town.
The votes on RM and Earth were for reaction baiting. I thought RM would /out before the game started, so I went for him bc I haven’t played with him in a while, + I felt he was likely to give a reaction that would help read him. Saw he was offline for a long time and figured he would’ve /out-ed if he was more active at that time, so I switched to Earth upon seeing he was online recently but didn’t stop by the DP to say anything.

Everywhere you look, the private sector is more efficient than the govt. I would not make that comparison to mass production (a creation of the private sector btw). Private schools have always found efficient ways to interact with each other and deal with transfer students.

They say homicide is intent plus opportunity.
I’m going to guess there are a couple thousand people in the entirety of the US who would assassinate a politician when given a golden opportunity. The thing is, they never get the chance, often due to their own insanity that (thankfully) causes them to get in their own way, but also due to the intense security every politician has protecting them. Yes the occasional close call happens, but usually they are shut down before the would-be assassin can actually harm anyone. Knowing this, a lot of the wackos that are thinking of assassinating a politician tend not to even try. So the mere presence of security an active defense of its own.
But the idea you have proposed circumvents that. All some wacko needs to do is file a paper on whatever day they feel motivated enough to do so. The opportunity is right there for the taking, plus the punishment is less harsh, removing a key disincentive.
I can imagine some desperate bum deciding to blame all their problems on the system and just filing a paper. Not only could they remove a (relatively) decent politician from office, but they could do so while getting to enjoy free meals and healthcare from the state.
Situations like those are why this is not a good idea.
Instead, we need to get voters to actually put voting pressure on politicians to adopt some new policies. I’ll give a couple good ideas to start:
-Rid the election system of ballot limitations that perpetuate the two-party system
-No more stock trading for the immediate families of national and state level politicians.

Also worth noting that some school districts intentionally keep parents in the dark sometimes

@Lemming
I wonder if school would be better if parents attended it with their kids and voiced their views on subjects.Ethics, History, the use of various skills such as math.Sure there's Parent Teacher Meetings and Parents Day Show and Tell,But parents look awful divorced from their children's education to me.. . . Not that most of them have 'time to attend school, but I wonder if it'd improve their kids education or not.
Total. Education. Privatization.

93 from me does not account for 92 from you. Sure I’ll wait a little, but I prefer you drop those relatively soon.
I don’t think this is a game where we can sit around and wait too long for everyone else to show up. Someone’s gotta drive the activity, and we’re the ones who are actually active rn

Wylted trying to insta solve off of a minute detail from Whiteflame about discord PMs does resemble his town play. But he knows I caught him over not doing that last game. We’ll see how it develops as the game goes along. That’s why these reads are only slight. Good start tho
I see Savants stated reason for delaying his reads- but ive known him to be one that analyses every little post. The thing about town metas like that is that they are hard af to fake as scum, so it feels like a cop-out. Especially since throwing out the first scumread or lean of the game will always draw attention. Yes I know his reads were less accurate at the start last game, but that’s always a given, so not much of a need to delay. Bad start imo

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

@ILikePie5
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
Interesting

Well, you certainly don’t need to argue against your own town cred if you’re scum.

Expanding on 51:
Normally, it would be a towny thing to do: You limit scum’s fake claims, while being willing to put a tiny bit of your own claim first, showing that you don’t care if your claim is limited.
But if you’re confident you can find a fake claim easily, despite limiting yourself, it looks good for towncred. Additionally, you do get a tiny bit of extra scouting on townies. Admittedly, it’s very slight, but helped me a tiny bit in CoD mafia.
All in all, slight info and town cred, but only if you’re confident you just find a good fake claim. The incentives to do it as scum usually don’t line up, and that doesn’t even make it inherently scummy either. So it’s usually worth townreading just a tiny bit.

I thought about the ins and outs of if scum Pie would what he’s doing rn for town cred. He could (it’s actually beneficial for scum if they are confident in their ability to find a fake claim despite limiting themselves) but he doesn’t have to… even so, there’s not a reason to interpret everything he does in the scummiest light.
I’ll give him a slight town read. The VTLing RM and his talk to Earth and Wylted look normal.

Ok so I checked when everyone was last online.
Mikal and RM were last seen 6 and 4 days ago respectively. I’ll assume Mikal will show up eventually but I’m not sure if RM will given recent events (and the whole “maybe mafia is evil” thing during said recent event).
Tagging you since you may need to tag Banana in for a replace if we get a no-show.
Anyways, hi Earth.
Unvote VTL Earth

Celebrity advertising plus tv slot advertising. Some channels will just show Scientology stuff.
As for the horrors of the church of Scientology, Leah Remini hosted a good show about it a few years ago. I’m sure you can find episodes.

Because they think a zygote is a human and if you believe a zygote is human, then it's obvious you think the others would be humans.Or they could just use a phrase that includes all of them lol. Remove any doubt.
