Obviously if you think the top 3 wagons are 100% lock cleared completely verified townies, then don’t vote for them. But can you at least consider the value in casting your vote on someone who is, 42% likely to be a wolf, when the other two candidates are 19.5% likely to be a wolf? If your vote is 65% likely to be a wolf in your eyes but no one else is voting for him, there is zero value in that vote. You don’t help the village at all. At least voting for the 42% guy helps protect the 19.5% guys. ---

> [@crackedquads](#): > > Uhg. Such a bad move on his part. If he’s a wolf he has to realize that taking my quote out of context isn’t just going to go unnoticed, right? He’d previously pointed out to **NAF** , who’s said that he couldn’t get behind any of the 3 vote leaders, that he was actually voting **Peeker** , one of the three vote leaders. Given this, I can see him jumping on the “I’m not voting” part of your sentence and correcting you. That’s a misreading of your post and a null tell. What I was questioning is his response to you, he said he’d read it out of context when in fact he’d snipped most of the sentence and replaced it with “…”. I realise it could well be just another misreading of your post as you didn’t actually accuse him of editing out the context but quoting you out of context but I wanted to hear his response. ---

I believe crackedquads’ point is valid, but eod is in 40 minutes so let’s not continue discussing it right now. There’s plenty of time to discuss it thoroughly at another time. I think I saw you guys allow chat at night? That would be the perfect place for it if so, not in the thread causing distraction 40 minutes before eod. ---

As long as you’re discussing general strategy without tying it at all to this specific game, it’s fine. (Trying to wait for the top of the page before doing another vote count.) ---

> [@crackedquads](#): > > You do realize this is a game, on the internets, right? Don’t be a prick. Unfortunately, peeker lacks the filter that most of the rest of us have, and he tends to say exactly what he’s thinking; I don’t think he’s intentionally being a prick and (although I’m sure it _feels_ personal, having been on the receiving end) I honestly don’t think he means it personally. It’s just what he’s thinking, so he says it. ---

Copy me on it if you’re worried it might be borderline. Send it to me first for my approval if you’re _legitimately_ worried it might be borderline. Don’t send it at all if you think it _is_ borderline. ---

Just an FYI if anyone notices that I won’t be responding to peeker anymore, he’s on ignore and will stay that way. This obviously isn’t some sort of FPS and we certainly aren’t w/w. ---

Thanks Gad Looking at it again, I can’t emphasize enough how much I dislike the Krayz wagon. I’m telling you: As someone that has played with him in every single game he’s played on the other forum minus one, this is NOT in line with how I’ve viewed his scum game. It’s different for the quick reads, but that string of posts I quoted earlier is entirely in line with his town game. Just think about this: Someone voted him for being “condescending” during his reads spurt, and someone else voted him with their VERY FIRST POST.
