Im also not convinced of the actual intent behind the even distribution of votes; do u have any game when u have openly upheld such an opinion?
VOTE: Deimos
ninjaed by the above
I have openly upheld this opinion before and I can name the player I learned it from, which is LuckyLuciano. We are out of RVS so I can explain. Even distributions create possibly AI situations in who breaks the ties and how. This can then transition into wagons to create pressure. Immediate wagons are fine, but they bypass this extra step and the added info it can provide.
Hmm, this was the post I was referring to......not sure why though it came earlier.

But, do you understand what I am saying when I am saying that you are not as analytical, Deimos?

What about them? I tend to forget about people not actively playing the game. I could say the same for Pii and Wors as well.

You can bring it back but I believe they are a null read due to this being their first time out of the kiddie pool if I'm not mistaken. I don't like their pressure that was faux on Doctor Drew and finding out the alignment of one player so quickly does draw suspicious pings from me.

I haven't sorted Marashu out yet roughly a null read at the moment. Word does seem scummy for other reasons and I don't believe there was more then one on my wagon. You could say Drew could be scum for the hop back onto it after not liking me posting anime gifs. I'm

For the moment but I'm much happier and interested in Pii due to just not really doing much thus far and raising questions.

@Midari, if you're only reason for not voting me is because you think this my first game outside of the Newbie lobby, then you're mistaken. I have a handful of finished micros. Also, who's alignment have I found out?

Nothing strong so far, which doesn't feel great. I think I'm getting townie pings from Votato, Drew, Deimos and Midari. Those are the only things strong enough to mention.

Though I also think your wagon stalling out is interesting.

why do you townread drew? your posts suggested that you were skeptical of the drew townread, and now you're expressing said townread? which is it?

I feel like simply voting yourself would be something that would be done more by scum than by town, as scum would have more reasons to self-vote I think.
Since this self-vote occurred in RVS, I'm annoyed that you're generalising it to any self-vote (this results in examples like scum self-hammers entering the picture and making the RVS self-vote look much worse than it actually is). This is besides the point at best and shading Midari at worst.
uhm, not at all what i said. obviously scum self-hammers mostly come from caught scum. i'm talking about votes that aren't self-hammers though, particularly early votes or even RVS votes. FoS deimos for choosing such a bad way to defend the self-vote.

It's a town read, I feel I've made myself clear here. What posts have made my view confusing? My issue isn't with scum reading Drew, it's that everyone (including myself) seems to be town reading them. So I wanna know what's up with that.

drew is usually scummy. but scum drew is also scummy and obviously so in my experience. so this suggests hmmmm either drew stepped up his scumgame or his towngame

People are unsure of your alignment no?
Hence you aren't making waves one way or another and trying to muck your "meta" up a bit so one can't tell if you are town or scum.

It's not even a reason. I've got you town leaning here. And I don't plan on changing that. Just like I feel Drew is town but a bit clueless.

I think townleaning Worcestershire based off a naked vote against him is pretty nuanced and not the easiest to fake as scum. And his reasoning there is quite resonant with me, now that I believe I've caught onto it.

It's not a strong read.

I had the same thought about the Midari wagon, Tux, but I've been holding on to it.

I usually pick up in this department as the game goes on.
Please understand that I'm being just as analytical internally — the difference is in what I'm choosing to out at this stage of the game.

Isn't it weird that you talk about RVS self-voting, because that's what happened in this game, and he responds with reference to a more general "simply voting yourself"?
