that's impossible to predict but you have to weigh the balance between fostering game apathy by waiting for a long time for something that might never show up and like actually just getting something done?

We have like 10 days left, so why do we need to rush a vote, even before we see a replacement? I’m not totally sold on Math scum and Titus seems pretty convinced he isn’t but we can afford to wait a bit more for a replacement to give us clarity on that, can’t we?

We have had 3 townflips and with 5 scum in this setup, it makes absolute sense to be certain and nothing like a replacement to help with that.

Slots only get modkilled if game mod can’t find a replacement in a reasonable amount of time and that happens extremely rarely.

Also, Math is sick and it’s possible he might be getting wrongly sr for that. It actually happened to me in a past game, that I got nai instead of tr because I had a flu and was running a fever att. When you’re ill, it definitely can affect your posting.

Let's keep in mind we're also waiting on a dwlee replacement, which I would think happens before the math replacement. So waiting on a math replacement to happen and for them to create some reasonable content to finally decide could mean days of waiting. We have also lost any more math input with regards to c&g pt interactions. I'm not sure how to best proceed there.

I'm lean scum on math right now but I'm not liking how he's the easiest push, even before the replace out. Like math himself and even corwin feel scummy but the conversation around his wagon since the beginning has also felt off, so I lose my confidence in it.

Luke, the biggest problem with your VCA is context.

Sure, I was on the Ceph wagon for a while. But if you look at my ISO, you will see I simply wasn't around for large parts of the game. 400 posts at a time could happen between two of my posts.

I vote Ceph early, like 155 or something. I post again around 600 to say I will try to catch up and then during catch up, around post 1000 I start voting frog. So between my original vote in 155 and my change of vote literally 2 or 3 posts later we're at post 1000 or something (can't remember as I'm phone posting)

I feel you're missing a huge aspect of VCA.

Wagons also need to be analysed in the context of a large game. You're calling 5 votes a wagon, and saying majority was town. This is equivalent to calling someone with 2 or 3 votes a wagon in a normal game - it simply isn't a decent enough size to analyse.

Do you find DPs or Enchants votes to be independently scummy or is it just because you're using pre-flip associatives?

What is interesting is that most of the leading wagons this game have been on town - which means scum are driving the narrative of the game really well.

Of course, people won't look at certain other people because meta or some other BS until it gets to D4 or something and they start to open their eyes.

This meta circle jerk that goes on makes the game extremely difficult to play and difficult to insert myself into. I simply have to wait until meta players decide to reevaluate or even consider other viewpoints. It's usually too late by then though, it also gives scum players a great place to hide.

100%. Reeks of TMI. Like, you're confident enough to say that Math will flip town but not confident enough to do anything about it?

You bet Mathblade is town = confident
But your read is flimsy so you won't defend = not confident?

Your sentences literally contradict each other
