Sorry all, I’ve been ill recently. Posting before work. May be able to use phone during downtime there.
Still comfortable with vote on pizza, especially as he tries to get another set of pressure/bandwagoning going again.
Texcat was a poorly reasoned vote. I’ll admit that, especially as I didn’t see the same with astral. Not sure what I was thinking - need to play not alte at night or early in the morning. However, I have become more sure of it. Tex thinks a scummy diggit would have posted a clue that pegged a godfather yesterday, when we didn’t know chronos was the godfather, with a clue that would have possibly helped scum more than town. The fact that she says she would have posted the clue yesterday if she was scum trying to look town reeks of perfect information syndrome. Maybe it’s one Day hindsight, maybe she knew chronos was the godfather.
The investigation of clues is a power that could easily belong ot a scum detective. I can easliy fluff Molly being on team M, but tha’ts irrelevant. Scum could very well benefit from clues that, byt word of mod, may hurt the team they belong to. A mechanism that gets them verbatim clues from the other side would seem to be useful, but not gamebreakingly so, in puzzling out the game state, especially when people say “my clue would help scum”. Additionally, I simply side with idle on the issue of who has the edited/correct clue - maybe because he’s strident about it, maybe because I was suspicious of her already.
Both my votes stand at this time - I am ok with either being lynched, even if we’re at a tie right now (haven’t recounted votes)
Dashed this off real fast before the door after the board ate my first one. Sorry about typos. Content is about the same.
Day Three ends in about three hours, at noon eastern today. Please get your actions for toDay in before that time (I have received almost none so far)!
Astral and I were leading lynch candidates yesterday. I’d hate to have him flip town because the conspiracy theorists would then be sure that I was the scum. Although I still don’t understand why if one of us was scum and the other town, that scum would need to bring Pleo and Dizzy into the lynch mix. I’m fairly certain because of this that Astral is town, just as I am. If Astral were scum, I’d probably have been lynched Yesterday.
Do you think it matters to me, particularly considering I am one of the tied parties and have no intention of voting TexCat?
Feel free to be upset about the fact that I don’t want to lynch TexCat for whatever reason, but it has nothing to do with me thinking I’m hipper than you. Just keep on painting with that brush.
I can’t say I completely agree with the reasoning given- voting in such a way as to make guessing motivations difficult is a major component of why scum vote for certain players.
However, I’ll go along with a more interesting lineup for the end of the round. Someone besides the same three faces could generate better data.
I’ve been re-reading Day 1 as most of the leading vote contenders were big players then, plus I have Chronos’ posts and votes to consider.
I didn’t like Astral’s mid-Day 1 votes then, and I still don’t like them now. And I ran across this (which is addressed to Daphne after her claim) in my re-read:
As I’ve previously said, I thought that Astral’s vote for Daphne was extremely opportunistic. This post reads to me like Astral was feeling guilty about a vote that he knew was opportunistic.
Vote Astral
On preview, I see that I have reinstated the three-way tie. sigh
I see that Idle claims that texcat is lying about Johnny’s clue. My first instinct is “lynch all liars”, but how would texcat know the wording of Idle’s clue unless she has the power that she claims? Why could a hidden scum have that power?
If a player’s vote is on two candidates tied for the lynch, it increases the odds that a townie gets lynched.
The odds are low both candidates are scum.
The odds are decent both candidates are townie.
In the case one is scum and one is townie, the scum team knows which is which and will decide the tie in favor of their team, town has no such advantage.
Voting for someone you suspect, while providing that same suspect an escape route from the noose, is nifty strategy.
A townie is expected to take the opportunity to save his or her own life and remove a suspect that they cannot possibly know is innocent, as opposed to allowing a bad lynch.
I guess I’m just not one for doing what’s expected of me. I never did like having who I choose to vote for dictated to me. I’m stubborn that way.
