Plants Mountainous Poison - Day 8 (1/16) - Wolf Win

Yes I replied to it already

@the_worst

hi
will vote later on tonight when i get to reread shit as of rn most things are flowing through my brain and right back out

Have I replied to everything now?

Btw

This is not to say I would die on a hill that Eli and Marl are both town

But if you voted me, youā€™d see that Iā€™m town and be able to settle any associations you were thinking

I donā€™t think weā€™d get much from an Eli or Marl flip, honestly

Do you have any thoughts youā€™ve been mulling over that you want people to think about now?

well depends on the tone/circumstances around the vote
i see 1 being towny as fuck but only if itā€™s clearly for shits and giggles
if you do 2 when 1 is clearly shits and giggles 2 is scummy

but if you do 1 on a halfway serious note while hiding behind lol uwu iā€™m so quirky itā€™s wolfy
and 2 is therefore towny for calling it out

my head hurts

Lol, I kind if just want to vote Solic now tbh

/vote Solic @Host_Account_2

Hopefully this summoning ritual will work
I know itā€™s worked on Eli before

Youā€™re a wizard

Nice crosspost lmao

ah i totally missed this!!

iā€™d posit a couple of counterpoints:

  1. voting a slot early places that slot under the spotlight, but does so by wielding the spotlight. one needs to accept that they put their neck out by pressuring another slot. this often carries a clear tell for a guilty consciences imo (theyā€™re kinda choked up about sticking their necks out).
  2. placing a preemptive first/second vote on someone who hasnā€™t actually been all that scummy but is getting some attention is a very good way to increase the pressure on that person, but a very bad way to kill that person. :stuck_out_tongue: i think if this was the intent, youā€™re looking for something more like shading or letting townies do scumā€™s work for them by pressuring the slot.
  3. all the same, there is an issue with placing a vote preemptively, and that issue is this: it makes you look goofy. itā€™s optically a bad move, regardless of what your intent was and what the outcome is.
  4. town win by finding wolves. scum win by making town look like wolves. one of these necessarily involves making others look bad (drawing overt attention to optically poor decisions); one of these does not.

iā€™d argue all day every day that early day one opportunism is >rand a town indicator, and shading early day one opportunism is either a wolf tell or fairly misguided townplay

I think thatā€™s a more elaborate version of what Trochi said lol

yeah look i hadnā€™t read trochiā€™s post at that point or i wouldnā€™t have bothered with the write-up. point stands, i feel like your read on that situation is more defiant than it is considered. :stuck_out_tongue:

like, neither & both; i donā€™t have a concrete PoE for today (donā€™t really believe in it) and i donā€™t really have a teamsolve, itā€™s just a cluster of 3 slots iā€™d like the spotlight to remain on

Slightly off-topic, Iā€™m not looking for brownie points for saying this btw, but if you ask me for an answer given several choices, I will literally always assume I am only supposed to pick one answer and defend it lol

I realized after you and Trochi answered Frogā€™s question about which of us had displayed signs of being obvious town that I fundamentally misunderstood what the question was, because I took it completely literally and saw nothing that would make me 100% rule out that either of you were scum because I donā€™t know for sure, even if I like to think I do

no problems. itā€™s a question of like, perception and philosophy, so either one is valid. the trick to the question is whether or not you catch that itā€™s a question about behavioural tells rather than a question of mafia theory. i donā€™t think you caught that which doesnā€™t fill me with confidence that you were considering which one of them was sincere.

i feel like i want to trust you when youā€™re under scrutiny, and i donā€™t trust you when youā€™re not. :rofl:
