Why are we suddenly criticizing the mod? We don't need vote counts on every single page
I always criticize the mod. It's my shtick. let me have this.

By not killing me, you save yourself.
Ugh why did you claim, you were nowhere close to being lynched. This could probably still be a scum role though.

What does the bolded even mean? If we don't lynch you then we have to lynch someone else.
It meant that instead of scum nk'ing different town, they'll nk me. As all scum will want to kill me, they may end up wasting 2 of their nks, thereby saving two town.
You're novice though so I doubt scum would waste a kill on you N1 when you can't do anything anyways.

This shouldn't deter people from voting him if they think he's scum. I don't think his claim itself makes it more or less likely that he's scum honestly. I think that the fact that he felt pressured to claim despite being nowhere close to the lynch threshold is scum indicative. Dolly's vote immediately after that claim is gross though.

I'd thought I was a lot closer to being lynched, and I didn't want various anti-town factions hopping on my wagon. Also, I didn't want to risk waiting for a votecount, and thought I would have to make the claim now or possibly get lynched.
You don't think they were on already? Why? You town read everyone up to the point the reaction test was brought up?

you know who else did this?

TSE
Loud Bodyguard will self resolve a lot sooner than novice tracker neighbor. Also Rex's play has actually been scummy whereas TSE/Titus's hasn't. Loud bodyguard is probably more likely to come from town than what Rex claimed.

Also... it's TSE.

I disagree with every sentence here :lol:

It should absolutely deter people! If he's going to die anyway, you're wasting a lynch while giving the scumteam that would have killed him an extra kill.

That role is definitely more likely to be town than scum, especially given that it's novice and the scumteams here need all the help they can get. Of course it could be a fakeclaim, but it definitely leans him more town.

If he were scum who wanted to rush out a claim before he got killed... why wouldn't he claim something that gets immediate results? It's perfectly consistent with indignant town who is scared of pressure.

Dolly's vote isn't gross, it's her opinion that Rex's claim shouldn't save him. Expressing your opinion when it's weird or against the grain is towny.

Why not? If you can identify who the anti-town on your wagon are, then that's good information for town in case you ever flip. You can look at who's votes were most opportunistic. Your play here feels very survivalistic.

If it was a more managable gamesize yeah. But I said it earlier.

Claiming when there's already 20 people voting for you and expecting them all to move is asking too much. Him claiming now while a reasonable amount of people are voting him is the right move.
I made a GTKAS. Go shitpost in it if you want. It's very lonely.

That's not what I meant. It is highly likely that there were anti-town-aligned players on my lynch. It is unlikely, however, that they all were. I didn't want to give any of the ones that weren't on a chance to get on.

How am I going to identify for certain the anti-town an my wagon? I can only see who visits who, not people's alignments. Even if I could, it'd take ages for there to be enough nights for me to check them all.

Again, he's novice. If he was scum, then he'd have to either fake a result, or out his actual result. Gives him some leeway as to why he's still alive D2. Scum probably will kill him regardless N2 though so you do have a decent point there.

A lot of people have moved off TSE onto tictac and from tictac onto Rex, and it seems like a lot are moving from Rex to Dolly now so wagons can form in an instant here, especially since a good chunk of the playerlist probably hasn't read much and just pop in from time to time and vote the top wagon.

Not by night actions, but by analyzing the votes and looking at who was the most opportunistic.

Maybe, if she didn't think the vote would get as much attention as it did. Part of me is wondering if Dolly even read and just popped in to vote the top wagon.
