Haha, yep, noted. How did you get the reply to double-quote?
I would add to White Knighting that the reason it's not often appreciated in mafia is because it's a relatively easy tactic for scum to use when they have TMI.
Hence part of my concern with Cuth - he's jumping in and defending me a lot when there's no real pressure on me/he doesn't really need to. On the one hand, I know he kicked himself for not defending me last game we Towned together when I got misread and I'd like to say he's Town. I don't particularly want to see him swing for his defence of me especially if he's Town, but on the other hand, until I'm confident for my own reasons that he is Town, that's not enough to actually outweigh the fact he could be over-defending me to pocket me/make himself look good as scum.
Meh. TLDR: Cuth White Knighting me should probably be considered null for now, though I can't guarantee he's not banking on me to back that up.
Because he's an easy lynch, and the reasons for voting him are very subpar.
Ok for Sushi :/ for the Visor interactions, if only because it makes it harder for me to get a good read on you right now.
My argument is basically that Edse is a similarly easy lynch/mislynch to Al Sips, and it's a pretty cop-out vote if he turns out to be Town.
I just looked at his 12-post ISO from the last game too, and these are the posts from Day 1
Spoiler :
I can't clear him of being scummy scum here just because he was scummy Town there (and I'm not trying to/I'm not overly against his lynch), but I can't see how his posting is 'completely different' and I want to make that clear.
On the other hand, Al Sips' involvement is completely different. He was up there with top posters in that game all game, here he's barely contributed at all.
What info do you think we'd get out of an Edse lynch depending on his flip?
I like this post and question from Legato. Agree with the bold and can vote here provided we can't find a better-value candidate for scum. Same question as for Cuth - what actual info are we going to get from lynching Edse today?
Afaict we get:
- potential clearing for Cuth if he's scum because of his lazy vote on Cuth, Cuth's push on him and ?the probability of it being a bus is ?low
- potentially unanswerable questions (regardless of his alignment) on Sushi and I and anyone else who's hesitating on making Edse they lynch because they read him the same way/Scum as Town because a)valid point but b)Team protecting/?TMI.
Meh. Is there anything else?
I don't know how to balance this in comparison with Al Sips. Edse posting the same scummy way he did as Town but some info to be gained and he's not likely to be as active/telling as Al Sips if Al Sips is Town and comes back to play like last game. BUT Al Sips' involvement is in direct contradiction to his last Town play while Edse looks much the same to me. I'm going to leave my vote where it is for now.
I like the reasoning/explanation here from Pouter Pigeon. Towny post.
Oh and, yes, Cass, that genuinely was a random vote. If I'd known that it would generate this much discussion, I'd have done something different.
(I have too many dice and too few opportunities to use them.)
FTR I agree but aorn he's in direct contrast to what I know of his Town meta and I don't like the idea that he could be counting on this argument to let him coast as scum.
If you're Town convinced I'm Town because of stuff like this then great, don't vote me and do stand up for me with stuff if people push specific points you want to debate with/come seriously calling for my lynch. But FTR I think you can/should stop defending me so hard for now out of nowhere, at this point it ultimately has more utility for YouScum than YouTown IMO and it's wigging me out.Heh, looking at the Snake Cult game I found this post by Cass.
I don't ever do lock-town but I did temporarily back off Town lean because the points I questioned seemd off/stood out. I'm haven't ISO'd him completely but I'm happy with the responses he gave me, the points since - and I did really like his earlier post, so he's back to light Town lean for now.
