I must admit extreme embarrassment from seeing the yamabiko's assessment of me. To be honest, by the time the day was winding to a close, I had completely forgotten it was Futo-chan who originally asked the "who is scum" question of the shapeshifter. Though I'm not sure I entirely agree with the assessment that one should feel good about the alignment of a player before agreeing with their case, especially since it was the shapeshifter's dodge of the question that piqued my interest further.
Since the yamabiko successfully demasked me (though I would have expected her to know that I have had a subfolder of portraits of myself for far longer than before this game started), I would like to congratulate her on finally achieving the Night 1 death she has always desired. I will also not cease the massive excrement-consuming smile that crept upon my face during that previous sentence while I agree completely with her case on Tojiko-chan, as I know she was not fond of me and will now almost invariably have internal doubts about it. I expect to see plenty of yamabiko agita in the graveyard when my time has come. Cheers, dearie.
(You know I love you!)
##Vote: Soga no TojikoIn all seriousness, the nightly case on my ghostly wife is an incredibly solid one. Active lurking so active that I hadn't even forgotten she was playing. But it is a marvel to watch all of her prompts in
this post go answered and have it followed up by
this post two hours later where there is zero evidence that she even remembers submitting those prompts, least of all acknowledging the responses.
So as to make this post not a
complete copy of the yamabiko's, I will point out that she does it again
here - questions for her theoretical prime suspect that are answered in the message that follows immediately, with her next post
here making no effort to continue any lines of dialogue. At the very least, a question could have been asked about why the gardener was leaning scum on someone no one else was seriously suspecting. Also distressing is the way all of the gardener's posts thereafter are more or less handwaved with "Unimpressed by the defense"
here. Deadline or no, this is still a very easy way to excuse continuing her suspicions of the gardener without actually meaningfully engaging any of the thirty posts the gardener has made since her last post.
A read of Futo-chan yields nothing negative from her. She provides opinions and explanations for those opinions and puts actual effort into hunting for the enemy. At least I have one constituent of whom I can be proud. The only negative thing I can say about her messages is that it appears I somehow forgot to procure for her a keyboard with a Shift button. I must remedy this terrible oversight as soon as the fun has ended.
I think I must slightly disagree with Miyako-chan's assessment that the shapeshifter has put forth enough effort. I see plenty of effort on her part to look involved in the game, but less so actually scumhunting. I see a lot of questions and game theory discussion from her early game, though very little of it goes anywhere meaningful. I am also still not a fan of dodging Futo-chan's question of who she thought was scum.
This post requires proper addressing in this context as well. There are a number of town reads with some justification, but most of them were on people that were under no stress at the time. I do not see a meaningful opinion on the umbrella's betrothed living goddess, despite the question asked of her, and that section ends with a call for more posts. The first half of the section about the gardener is very similar, right down to the call for further opinions. The second half is all either stating what the gardener did or agreeing with other people's assessments of her, which does not signify effort to me. The "sections" on the thief, the ghost princess, and the umbrella are all nothingness.
There are actually a number of good questions
here but there is no follow-up to any of them, which is disappointing at best when there was no indication she would not be able to provide any further messages that day.
I see the thief at least claiming to acknowledge the yamabiko's words, but I do not see any sort of effort to acknowledge or appease the request the yamabiko specifically made to the thief. Considering the number of people that have cited the thief's lurking tendencies this game, I would have thought acknowledging that request would have been a fairly high priority. I am unhappy with the transition from "the case is interesting" to "Would support her lynch". "Interesting" cases are not the cases one supports, good and solid cases are.
I would actually like to see how the ghost princess opens this day before deciding she is scummy instead of simply self-centered.
I see a post from the shapeshifter herself. I...cannot actually divine from it whether or not she still thinks her only suspect from yesterday that is still alive is an enemy. This would seem to bring her grand total of opinions of who the enemy are down rather than up, unless she is preparing to seriously propose myself and Futo-chan as a scum team.
