ok but she was clearly leaning and persuading that way and that makes 0 sense for her to do if she's scum with dunnstral and momentum is shifting that way.

if anything you unvoting for the most absurd tinfoil theory is way way worse.

Tweetie was so disconnected from the game state that she wasn't even voting at the time she flew in and started defending Dunnstral.

Don't you think they send somebody else if the danger isn't real or if literally any1 else is online?

look how much better skitter was at derailing and getting infinity back on the right wagon.

I liked the details in flea's re-evaluation, it felt like flea actually took the time to do it, and flea said flea wanted to wait for pain meds to kick in before doing it so it felt like something real not fake.

Also I don't think Tweetie jumps in and starts defending if the online people(Flea/Gloria) aren't town because if they weren't town there is no real threat to Dunnstral.

Yeah I suck at marathons cause I don’t have the time to think things through. But I have here.

@pooky Tweet was decently positioned to vote TGP though? She kept being like “I want to try to understand why people SR TGP” and dancing around the wagon, it’s what I voted her for pretty early on.

I think somebody already voting TGP would've made more sense than Tweetie who was not even voting at the time.

The other explanation is that Infinity scum needed to back off before things got too hot for Dunnstral and Tweetie was there to provide him with cover.

in which case infinity moving his vote to Dunn was really just scum vanity wagoning in the first place and he didn't expect it to suddenly gather momentum, which would imply Isis!town infinity!scum.

when Isis/Infinity voted Dunn at 10AM GMT the wagons were:

TGP-5
Skitter-2
Dunn-2

so maybe they were going for a fragmented look?

i do not know if infinity thought this would be the result in either case, but it seems very possible,

as infinity left both of these wagons after doing so, though he did return to the gypyx wagon

well, per the op, all town players are vanilla, so i'm not sure how accurate your theory is, but i like the creativity!

i kinda vibe with what infinity said. or, more accurately, at that point in the game *i* did not feel like there was an overly large townbloc, but that's a vibe i get p often as town ( i sometimes just have games where i feel like i'm townreading waaaaaay too many people), so i can understand a town player feeling that way

also if he were scum with that complaint i imagine he would be trying harder to undermine said townbloc, which i didn't really see happen

I keep coming back to “what was scum’s plan if pooky didn’t vote hopkirk”?

I think pooky and flea are town, so there was scum on the gypyx wagon.

Whoever it was must’ve been positioning to vote hopkirk if necessary. The only person who makes sense for that is gloria. Maaybe jessie, but she seemed to have finished her evaluation and decided on gypyx while gloria was still re-evaluating up until deadline.

I’m trying to find confirmation of that thing someone quoted but if so, Dunn wagon far more likely because he was never in any danger, so scum could have afforded to bus there but Gypyx/Hopkirk were neck in neck, that’s why I think that one has to be all town.
It's like, this is true. It almost feels like TMI at this point because it took me a while to come to this conclusion, but dunn wasn't in really in danger. Isis was probably gonna switch her vote (regardless of her alignment), since TGP was her stronger stated scumread. Looks like tweet was just worrying unnecessarily, which doesn't seem out-of-character to me from what I've seen this game.

Are you saying isis, flea, and gloria are all town? Because scum!isis could've moved her vote if she was worried about that.

That means multiple scum on gypyx fypov, and ones who aren't super well-positioned to change our vote. (me, ydrasse, jessie)

I see how that's possible though. I also think it's very possible that tweet overreacted and was confused why her partner gloria was bussing in that situation.

im saying gloria/flea are likely town because their reconsideration of dunn at that point in time.

Image

After the wagons tie at 3PM, gloria unvotes TGP at 5PM and begins reconsidering, that's the window of posting im looking at because flea also says flea is reconsidering, so if flea/gloria vote for dunn that ends the game there.

It has nothing to do with Isis alignment because she is not online during that window.

@Flea TMI= too much information, when you say something you could only know if you are scum.
can you explain the thought process behind this unvote? this is a fairly important point in D1.

The thing is, if TGP is going to go through anyway, it looks good to be on dunn. Gloria could've waited for flea to reconsider. If fae voted dunn, gloria could've come up with a reason to stay on TGP.

PEdit: I didn't find the reasons you/gloria were pushing dunn to be convincing. Dunn's appearance felt towny to me if anything, and I stand by the fact that "if you think we're buddies, let's get the other one first" is a reasonable town position. Town's natural reaction will always be to lim their scumread before themselves. I think you probably picked up on something intuitively in dunn's language, but I really didn't see it. I also tend to townread flippancy (maybe too much), and dunn was being pretty flippant in response to the pressure. That plus the fact that I started the wagon to see how much traction it would get, and it got way more than I expected, I got weirded out.

Gloria had already unvoted TGP at that point and was actively pushing dunn fairly hard, the only thing that wasn't on Dunn was her vote.

Read back to that point in the game where she unvotes Dunn, it's very clear she is leaning towards elimming Dunn over TGP.
