For the record:
schadd would expect me to townbloc with the players in my voting block. (I've VERY good reason to believe this to be the case.)

He tried to make things as Evil as possible, per his word.

If he knows my personality and thus knows that I would naturally be inclined to townbloc with my group...it then follows, he inverted it, making the group be scum with the expectation that I would townbeard by townblocking with scum.

Therefore, bugspray and Randy Savage are both scum. :P

VOTE: bugspray
(Not that it matters much if my theory is correct tho.)
And this is why I love Mastina :D

tris is very town so could you develop?
Every post of hers so far is fluff or IIOA. While the fluff could be written off as early-day posting, the posts I mention feel like an attempt to say something useful to establish a presence in the early-game without having to do anything controversial.

Not enthused by her reaction either, no defense on her part at all, the "good catch" feels defeatist, which I often see coming from scum.
i'd say that scum generally would try to not bother with pushes on em' early, her acknowledging feel very town to the contrary "yeah that's scummy, keep digging if you want, cuz i'm a pure heart of towniness" ya know?

and i'll check out those posts
I guess this is just a matter of different experience, but I also think that scum being aloof to pushes is a common enough tell that scum know to avoid it.

I don't like your exaggerated defense of her in this post, though I guess I didn't phrase things correctly. I guess appeasement would be the better word to use instead of defeatist.
never really thought about how scum avoids triggering tells, so idk on that one

this didn't really feel like appeasment, like, unless i'm misundersteanding?

Gypyx wrote:so worldER

imo, only 41 is really IIOA, and even then, i don't see how it's scummy, like, town also acknoledges obvious stuff ya know

especially given it's early and the game is wild

so ye, to me it's fine, other 2 posts feel like trying to thinking what the consequences of the voting format are
I would argue that if it is an obvious conclusion it is Information and not Analysis.

But even with your thesis, tris didn't develop off those conclusions in any way. It doesn't seem like she used that conclusion to develop any reads on how scum or town would be using the format to control the game, and if she did she didn't communicate them.

In fact the only posts of hers that really communicate to me any effort to draw alignment or communicate her own was her recent posts (83, 84, 85), y'know, after I started pushing her.
are really gonna get anything else than obvious conclusions page 1-5?

and well, idk, she has like 10 posts, and yeah, pushing often leads to peoples getting serious with the game?

not really seeing where's the problem with everything that bein' pointed out

lean-town on Mastina as well, for the dumbtell Tris pointed out and trying to get us started.
This looks town, he's thinking about the game, cant really see scum bothering with this.

I don't see why it being the early-game should delegitimize the points I make, especially when the whole point of RVS and the early-game is to put out AI content to extrapolate from. I feel like 99 and 103 are very disingenuous dismissals of my push.

@Anya, RVS vote or serious? Naked voting after all that is rather strange from my view.

I'm not entirely satisfied with Anya's vote there regardless of the answer I get because a naked vote with no elaboration or confrontation, in that position, feels opportunistic. I am interested in seeing the answer though.
