chronology and motivation correlate sometimes but it's not necessarily a causal thing.
What? Does that even mean anything?
heh. One of my hydra partners characterizes my posting style as terse, vague, uncertain and/or paranoid. That's both terse and vague. Follow is a bad word for how that played out.
I am still surprised that my wagon dissipated.
You were there when it happened. I stated reasons for changing my vote. And I said from the beginning both you and Cheery Dog were good scum-options. Fake surprise much?
No, not fake. I've been kind of frozen into a stance for the last week or so because the game kind of stagnated. Any fresh input at all can change that stance, and did.
If the wagon fades off Cheery, it will mostly likely land on me again. I think my posts this game day make it pretty clear why I don't see that as necessarily a bad thing. But, I'd like for town to do a hard-reset after my flip and not just proceed to "next on the list".
It makes me wonder about Cheery's alignment. If neither you nor Jason are scum then I think one of the wagons should have gone through if he's town. And mine should have too, though maybe it collapsed too quickly.
You just called Jason scum, didn't you? Since you just townread me for my trajectory, it's the only logical conclusion.
Jason is maybe scum, yes. But I think you missed the key idea in that sentence. "one of the wagons should have gone through if he's town" He being Cheery. My wagon may have faded too fast to take advantage of. But the Cheery wagon has been sitting stagnant for a while, which bolsters my scum read of him.
I'm highly unlikely to vote Jason today unless my own read on Cheery changes. And the wagon's stagnancy goes against a read change.
Why all this between the lines stuff? Because you're about to join the wagon started by your supposed scumread Cheery Dog?
It's how I post. My thoughts usually look like a fairly straight line from this side of my keyboard.
Majority wagon mechanics is not my forte. I learned mafia and played for years in a plurality lynch format. One of you guys ought to be able to come up with alternate hypotheses if I'm wrong.
Wrong about what/who? I have trouble discerning the central message from your post.
This: Would the wagon stagnate this way if Cheery is town and zero to 1 scum are currently on it?
Amid the pressure of great events, a general principle gives no help.
