@MOD: so group 1 aren't "voting", until their last two members vote, even though that cannot affect the groups vote?
each group can be considered as allocating all of its group members to a choice once a majority forms within that group. so once 5 players in group 1 are voting for someone, it is as if 8 players are voting for them in a typical game, which is something that can produce a majority with the help of two more votes from other sources

nah, we're using majority voting, but at deadline, it changes to plurality basically
Ah, had it in m head that it was plurality.

How solid are your reads at the moment? So far I get the feeling they're exaggerated nulls.
Yep, thought Tris was town for making the effort, and you town for pointing it out. That's mafia, man. Stuff happens, reads change/develop.
It's day one, I wouldn't say any of my reads are that solid, although as usual I amore comfortable with my town reads than scum.

You can read me however you want but faer is town

Our beloved fae is town.

If you beleive I'm scum here, fae cannot be scum with me.

I also thought I saw someone make a movement to bully my darling tsunami. That is unacceptable

No one is going to bully my darling tsunami..


AND FINALLY

someone asked me about vaxkiller. Largely gut and formed by the way he postures this game, how he interacts with others and the lightness that I find in his posts.

Also, this is keeping in mind that I had just recently correctly identified vax!scum

Pretty sure your bloc isn't actually voting anyone since the plurality is on Not Voting

Unless I've just completely misunderstood how this works.
not voting doesn't count towards plurality, if i understeand it correctly

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

I guess it's a matter of tone more than anything but it feels like she was trying to diffuse my vote by conceding the point like that.
think i've only seen town do that kinda stuff now that i think of it, but it's probably arguing around pointless stuff at that point

Mozami's stuff is definitely something scum could fake but I'm not entirely convinced is fake. Throwing out a lot of reads but is being more of a passive observer than actually trying to engage and extract. Wagon is alright but probably won't be putting my vote there until I see more.
thing is, it's not shitclaiming there, it's fake claiming, with obvious intent to divert pressure, i just don't see town doing that

welcome a50
im glad you got the quiet slot and not the one i want to kill today

VOTE: flow trap
i think this slot is really scummy
offered nothing townie, trolled around, then immediately dipped out when pressured
i will see what the replacement will say, i am voting now mainly so the rep will know why i am voting it and that its not because of them
