=Kris seems like an odd night 1 target (no offense intended). That is not a slight on her town skills, but just based on how long she's been out. It's mean to give her an early exit, and there are a few players with more recent town wins that would make more obvious targets. Might be an angle there. My guess is that they figured that, since I've been absent for so long, that I would not be a priority target to be protected/covered/what-have-you. Players who were strong in more recent wins would be more likely to be prioritized for those protective measures.

Kris’s reason seems more sound than Mosler. I really don’t like the meta game. I am not moved to support such things and Mosler is someone I usually support. Sus.

Sorry I’ve been having a rough few weeks with some emotional health issues so I have been pretty bad with getting onto the boards. Given my typically overactive participation in these games I can certainly understand why Mosler thinks I am sus.
A few things I have noticed:
1: There is a lot of weird crumbing going on with characters. (More references to Tears of the Kingdom and Breath of the Wild than actual links in the two games. Makes me think that one of them are safe claims.
2. There is a commuter among us and potentially a third party. I can’t confirm whether this commuter is scum or town.
3. Given this information, I am not 100% convinced of Kris’s story.

Awo.
Trans: Yes, Kris was picked for having less eyes on her. My point is simply that Steele wouldn't have a lot of eyes on him either (we are a few years removed from him being the go to night one target) and has a massive track record for scum hunting. So the scum team that prioritized Kris' threat level, would think very highly of her town skills (Dave gave her an award for them).
h2f's hatred of meta is well documented, as is my having success with it.
Meanwhile.... Kuroi, who is usually on the ball with a painful amount of prodding, still hasn't tagged Hammer for inactivity. Almost like Hammer was active elsewhere.
Day ends in 27 hours. And the vote count is sparse.

Roar.
Trans: Way to turn the fortune teller into a Liar.
With the multiple references to breathe & tears Hammer, it seems more like folks that haven't played the games and there not really being defining characteristics for those entries like my wolf. I don't think it's a question of broken safeclaims, because realistically there are enough Link games to go around.

The last two times I played meta I was right- but I was punished for it and almost lost a close friend I have learned my lesson. For now.

My Prod's going elsewhere: Steve Awesome Nausicaä Suzuki Vote Count 2.1: DT - 1 (Reck)
Not Voting: Mongo Steve A DT Steele h2f Mosler Hyperion Nausicaa Kris Reck Hardcore Hammer
Note: Due to some reflection, starting Day Three, I'll be changing this game's cycle to Four-Day day-periods and Two-Day Night periods. PM if you disagree or are confused by what I said.
Fun Fact: DID YOU KNOW: The most amount of dungeons in a Zelda game is a tie between A Link to the Past and A Link Between Worlds? 12 Dungeons! Compare this to Majora's Mask, that only has four.
With eleven alive, it takes six to eliminate. Day two ends 8/25 at approximately 2 PM EST.

Given this information, I am not 100% convinced of Kris’s story. So regarding the "BOTW and TOTK Link is the same Link" thing; Kuroi specified to me that even though its the same Link, he's considering them different characters. I presume the same is true of any other Links that share the same exact continuity. I'm not going to make any presumptions over the BOTW Link's alignment, I'm assuming that it's not as simple as "I am Town therefore the other version of me MUST be scum." Any reason you think there might be a third party or is it just a guess?

I guess I am sensitive to commuters doubling as third party survivor (it certainly is a handy ability for one at least).

Why do you think there's a third party, without giving too much away of course?
As for Kris, we did indeed give her an award for one particular town game yes. But here's the thing. We have been very slow with these games after taking a long break. And some of us are rusty or in my case, in a very different position life wise, schedule wise, and enthusiasm wise. I don't think there's much value in looking to meta from so long ago. Different people have improved and others don't play anymore. And mosler while I agree as a person who likes large games when I mod, is great not to pursue new or returning faces, realistically someone is going to be a target. And at this point you could make the case the only targets for scum that wouldn't either be new or returning after some big issue would be you, hype, myself, and h2f... and I guess nausicaa?
That said it's a bonus that we didn't lose a person AND seem to have gotten info as well. I think it's a reasonable assumption that Kris was targeted for being off the radar.
