I find it very difficult that you believe that this is a pro-town decision unless you're uncertain of your read on me.

I hadn't thought through how the mechanic worked. I was thinking in terms of who scum would choose to kill, as if trying to predict a doctor, instead of who is most valuable to the town after D1, which is the more relevant issue.

You've been framing this in terms of odds, which I was too at first, but I think the more relevant question is who town would rather have alive after D1. I think my D2 reads are not worse than yours, on average, and I think I'm more likely to win for town at LYLO than you. You're welcome to disagree, as I'm sure you will.
I don't think this idea that my reads are worse D2 onwards is based in reality except in terms of late game replacements.
If anything, my D2 lynches are my best and I don't have a large enough sample size for later than that.
You're the one who told me your reads at LYLO weren't great, and that your reads were best on D1. You told me that.

I'm very skeptical of you believing that you ever get the baton over me unless it's what scum want.

Ok, and Nadal's not that great on grass courts and his play is the best on clay courts.

I'll admit there's a selfish part to voting myself -- I want to stay alive so that I can keep playing the game. It's probably my last one for the next couple years.

I didn't think I'd get it either, but then a few people said they'd vote for me, so now I'm going to try.

Your response to this shouldn't be to see it as an opportunity but to think critically about why scum want you to have the baton pass today since it's reasonably obvious that there's at least 4 town on my wagon.

On the contrary, I expect him to go quite a while without deciding on a vote for anyone, if he does so at all.

I'll get to gameplay later.

I think it's reasonably obvious that the people who want me to have the baton are also town.

I don't think Shoshin is the worst choice for the baton, but Celestial would be my first choice currently.

This is probably what Oversoul is thinking of.

The situations are way different though.
