I'm asking if you thought Monkey switched his vote in the hopes of getting a quick-lynch on Jester for his trolling.
Like, nowhere do I say anything about you 'being scared' of Jester getting lynched. I'm asking you for the
motivation
behind Monkey's switch in votes.
Right, but in order for me to believe that Monkey was trying to quick lynch Jester, I would have to either believe:
a) Monkey is inherently playing sub-optimal;
b) I'm actually afraid that Monkey was trying to lynch Jester.
c) some other reason that makes me criminally insane.
I don't have any evidence with A, I'm pretty sure I'm not fucking nuts enough for you to believe C, so I went with B. If that's wrong, then let me parse the question another way:
What reason would you think I'd be so concerned that Monkey, who is not necessarily the most popular player for best Town award at the moment, would be able to get enough support to quick lynch a Jester wagon? Why was that the
ONLY
conclusion you came up with?
But you bring up a good point about motivation, so let's talk about it:
*A Jester vote allows Monkey to sink below the radar while saying his vote is somewhere. Consider for a minute that he voted Wal, moved off of Wal, voted Jester for one of the same reasons he voted for Wal. Now, consider his other actions this game. He's really not interacted that much with anyone and most of his questions have been game question oriented so far.
*He's really not...pushing Jester. Not questioning Jester on his behavior, the vote is kind of there. I know, in general, if I'm assed to vote ANYONE, I push and I push. Not so much here.
*The dissonance point earlier. There's NO REASON for Monkey to move his vote. It comes out of no where and the vote has no reason to move, all things being equal.
