This is beside the point

It’s a long established standard to claim neg util at start

If you disagree it has no merits discussing here as VP is not being policy elimmed if scum

We’re trying to talk scorpio

I'm interested in why you think this.

Why is it in scum's best interests to rush through a Wu elim rather than let the day bloat out longer?

vp did claim in like his 10th post
Of all tyrannies,a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Talk about Scorpio or another scumread please

i don't really understand the resistance to a scorpious wagon

if town that's pressure into giving content
if scum that's pressure into making a mistake

so pressure ultimately helps us

and it's not like they've gone and done anything particularly townie

What are you doing btw? Didn't you vote dragons? Is that fundamentally different from a Scorp wagon?
I do not understand why many players keep pretending that just because several players are lurking they are all identical. Dragons is most notably different because they were the only one of the three to vote GeneralWu. Additionally, I feel they are the most capable of giving more, they have the fewest posts and I have the least sense of who they are within the game.

Agree with you on this. Fine with tenebros sitting a vote on STD now to put on some pressure, but it's ultimately going for an incredibly low activity poster and the moment you vote for someone you ideally want to convince others to do the same. If not you aren't even putting any pressure on said player. Weird contradiction in tenebros' play.
I do not really have an explanation you will find convincing for this. I like to put my vote where I am thinking. I will call for others to join me if and when my certainty level grows high.

Nearly everyone suspects me to some degree or another, but so far I have produced town-indicative content in response to votes against me. I believe that this suspicion persisting in light of the fact I am scumhunting actively and unafraid to take stances indicates something. I believe that I am seen as weak and eventually pushable because I am newer.

It means I suspect both of them but am not cocky enough to think I have both right, and also that I feel Yeet doing what is effectively defending VP might be too blatant for a partner.

do you think vp has been quiet on his reads? if not, then this shade feels... misplaced
not particularly, at the time where i quoted it it felt like a weird way of throwing shade on Nero for something that honestly seemed quite reasonable to me, as well as excessive focus on the "purge the neighbourhood scum!!!" mindset.

I believe there have been more votes/suspicion on VP since then. I'm in a similar position to fireisred in that I think it's a good wagon but am more suspicious of tenebro.

PEdit: @MathBlade I am more suspicious of someone likely to be making up reads based on what the town is thinking (tenebro) than someone not even trying to make up reads (Scorp)
