Croc already revealed everything, nothing to pressure him for

But focus is clearly on Croc and getting him to out more. While I understand he's been lynched, the random focus shift is weird to me.

Well, that's all under the assumption he is town. If I can assume he is town and he still looks like a good lynch there is a problem. 

Frankly, I'd say there is a solid chance that he is mafia. 

But you thought that giving behavioral pressure is beneficial for the town. You may not have to vote him, but how come you aren't asking him as much questions and instead VTL'ing BearMan?

He won't even defend himself... Much less contribute and help find scum if he is town. We do not want a ELO (Eliminate or Lose) situation with Croc. 

How come you are not really pressuring Croc like you were pressuring Bear

This sort of solidifies my position to me. 

Existential Crisis

I agree

On bearman, i'm not sure if he is town or scum.

Ok guys. I got caught up on the DP.  I had some really weird thoughts today, and I was thinking about them (actually not lying)

I wouldn't classify that as pressure thought. That's more like, curiosity for town

But then again, if this person is put in the pressure, then outs himself as a power role, that means the town is now in a much bigger hole than they were now. I am not opposed to pressure at all, but in DP1, I think it should try to be avoided. In Naruto Mafia, there was a lot of pressure everywhere and that led to most of the roles being outed besides Doc and Demi God and Vanilla. That gave mafia a lot of confidence in general

ive been blacking out, having ftigue 

I am hated townie because I was responsible for ordering Pickett's charge.

I don't think mafia will get much. If y'all could search up which front your General partakes in and say it, that'd be helpful.

East Front.

I'm glad my analysis is warranting people to notice it

hm ok

Wall of text! Ahhh, aggression!

I do agree with you, though. I don't want to lynch him quite yet. We've got more time, and I don't think we should waste it. However, if he doesn't start being more active and we don't get any good candidates for scum, I'd be willing to lynch him.

Thanks lol I'll be here in an hour and half. I'll make small comments but the big read isn't coming yet

I'm rereading right now and gonna make a post, I'm doing shooting for a film right now lol.

How old are you? Do you understand how alcohol works lol

Behavior is the best indicator of scum overall in DP1

What's your justification for Longstreet being a hated towny?

I don't think it is good v bad. I also don't want to dive into theme split

I think good vs bad is kind of a grey area in this theme tainted by modern biased outlooks on slavery. 

I'm going to guess Lunatic's inactivity is due to hangover LOL

 He was a very quiet serious person.

My dad talked to him at length as a fan and I mostly just listened. We were visiting one of the battlefields because my Dad was a Civil War nut and took us everywhere to all the battlesites from Vicksburg to Gettysburg.

Foote is considered part of that generation of great Southern writers including Faulkner, WIlliams, Warren.  He wrote as a broken-hearted Southerner whose analysis of race, slavery, Southern rights eventually challenges and tears down each of his deeply rooted patriarchal,  romantic beliefs.  Ultimately, his condemnation of Succession and modern racism is more authentic and personal than any other.

When Foote says narrative he means it. The battles unfold with thrilling drama and detail, minor characters are constantly rising and falling.  The writing is exquisitely clear and evocative.   He did all of his writing with an ink pen.

I met Shelby Foote in person in Mississippi as a teenager.

Shelby Foote's "The CIvil War: A Narrative" is the finest history on the subject I've ever read.

Let's avoid DP1 character claims unless absolutely necessary. Let's also avoid openly guessing what people's characters or roles are as well. That helps the mafia more than it helps town. (which isn't to say that I blame That1 for outing TNBinc's character. He gave it away.)

No it was Battle of Chickamauga. My character prevented it from becoming a worse defeat.

I also think as well coming closer to hints that can help us when going into L-1 to narrow scum so we don't blindly follow a theme that doesn't exist

I see the point with that but I disagree. In DP1, if scum obtains too much knowledge in game, they can have an easy path to win. I thought mafia would win in the Naruto game due to the outing of roles and such content overall. Scum team picked up on roles and claims and such and went with that info. The DP1 claims did nothing to help town and I don't think they will unless behavior is becoming a warrant for a lynch

I have no inherent scum reads right now for the most part. Unless I see behavior that needs pressuring, there is no need

I also think as well coming closer to hints that can help us when going into L-1 to narrow scum so we don't blindly follow a theme that doesn't exist

 I think the goal is to set precedents of what isn't and what is

There are too many generals who served in both theaters for that to work. Regardless, there's no way to figure out the theme in DP1. We'll have to see some flips, especially mafia flips, before that becomes possible.

Definitely. The theme split is probably something more objective than good vs bad generals.
