To quote the greatest of elephants: "It is almost always best to not claim your role unless you are at E-1 and have been asked to claim as part of an “intent to hammer.” This is because, as a town power role (“PR”), if you out prematurely, you are likely to be night-killed (“NK’d”). As a Vanilla Townie (“VT”), claiming early helps the mafia team narrow down the setup and possible PR candidates."In post 298, Noraa wrote:I didn't like the entrance but I'm not quite too sure why or how to describe why its wrong.

BM/Noraa does look TvS to me, but Im not really sure what way. Like, I liked BM's side of the conversation a lot more from the logical perspective, but I dont see scum!Noraa keeping the negative framing conversating going as much she did. Maybe panicking -- Im going to have to do my own count to see how high it got and when. I am having the same ponging bakc and forth between sides that Mena did, so going to have faith in that meld for now.
I found Alonzo and Taylor's entries to be the pingiest. Alonzo with a naked vote and then absence, only to call TvT and foist a weak/obviously disprovable vote on Menalque (a slot that had been FoSed by enough to be a potential wagon). Taylor for the lack of an RVS, then perhaps TMI-shade, which she didnt even follow through on.
I spammed my ketchup, and apologize for that. Its just one of the rare times I will get to be on a desktop so got excited.- teacher

In Alonzo's ISO, but this jumped out. In what way is this game remotely stagnating? Dont get me wrong, Im a fan of lurker lynches and down with the proposal, but dont understand this pitch for it.In post 618, Battle Mage wrote:to stop the game stagnating.- teacher

I guess I found your 3rd person reference off putting, but Im liking your general attitude -- suits your training day persona.
Why the naked RVS vote. I kinda remembered your username so searched my history with you, and the one time we played it wasnt naked, so that tweaked me right in the early game.
What do you make of the meh meh meh? Im still conflicted but also not particularly interested in just recovering the same ground again and again.- teacher

I see your explanation for this, and I agree on principle with the 4th vote logic. I just dont buy the part that has it depending on Noraa's alignment. Maybe its just personal history with the early lol-wagon, but I find the later lol-wagon votes to be townie, regardless of the target's alignment. Scum dont want that kind of attention.In post 648, bob3141 wrote:And since i'm leaning toward Noraa being town on balance I think golden is likely town if i'm right on nora.- teacher

I guess I just am going to agree to disagree with you on disprovable stances. Like to me its a way to appear solvey/steer in a direction without necessarily antagonize the player precisely because you can back off. Its not so much the quick wagon as the odd entry vote and disappearance, then coming back later to express a scumread on a slot that has had some light FoSSing but do so in a way that does not also antagonize the player. That said, I kinda liked what Alonzo did after I made this post, and I didnt like what Taylor did not do, so.In post 419, Menalque wrote:
I actually kind of liked Alonzo’s whole progression there. Like, if you’re scum who’s bandwagoning onto me then you pick a reason that will stand up to some scrutiny. There weren’t enough votes for it to be part of an attempt to quickwagon me.In post 323, teacher wrote:I found Alonzo and Taylor's entries to be the pingiest.

What’s the incentive for scum!alonzo to vote me for a reason he knows won’t hold up only to then back down off it immediately? If I knew him already, I’d say that’s probably a p good way of trying to pocket me, but I don’t. So provided he isn’t scum with like, datisi who told him that’s exactly the sort of thing I’d like, I find his initial answer very likely to be true (skimming, saw something that seemed incongruent, voted based on that, corrected when more information provided) and think it’s actually a p towny thought process

I’m fine with that and have no interest in pushing there. I guess my issue is that it seemed the two of you were more fluffing each other than sorting.

Maybe it’s just proper play, but I feel like the scum!Ico instinct is to trash a meme claim because it’s both attention-grabbing and limiting future positioning. Town!Ico instead wants to see if it caused any significant game developments/reactions before pulling the plug on what actually might be a worthwhile test. I guess I just feel having the willingness to refuse multiple requests for a speedy response shows a desire to solve, rather than a willingness to please.In post 744, Datisi wrote:

Do you not feel like its a valid question for her when she does come back. Her vote is currently on the leading wagon. Which is just ahead of the wagon that grew shortly after the shelly wagon formed.
To me, this somehow gave the impression that Taylor was actively “considering” her vote and ignoring the wagon comp’s inconsistency — that she was willingly voteparking rather than simply being absent.wrote: Do you still consider your vote on shelly to be a rvs vote?
Also what do you think of the fact that menal and datisi are both now on that wagon with you. As you raised something about how you didnt like how they townread each other yet were on opposite sides of the noraa v bm.- teacher
