Yes I replied to it already
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, youād see that Iām town and be able to settle any associations you were thinking
I donāt think weād get much from an Eli or Marl flip, honestly
Do you have any thoughts youāve 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 itās 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 iām so quirky itās 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 itās worked on Eli before
Youāre a wizard
Nice crosspost lmao
ah i totally missed this!!
iād posit a couple of counterpoints:
- 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 (theyāre kinda choked up about sticking their necks out).
- placing a preemptive first/second vote on someone who hasnāt 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. i think if this was the intent, youāre looking for something more like shading or letting townies do scumās work for them by pressuring the slot.
- all the same, there is an issue with placing a vote preemptively, and that issue is this: it makes you look goofy. itās optically a bad move, regardless of what your intent was and what the outcome is.
- 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.
iād 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 thatās a more elaborate version of what Trochi said lol
yeah look i hadnāt read trochiās post at that point or i wouldnāt have bothered with the write-up. point stands, i feel like your read on that situation is more defiant than it is considered.
/vote Solic
/vote Solic @Host_Account_2
Anyway, is this your PoE/vote pool for today, or is this what you think the scumteam composition is?
like, neither & both; i donāt have a concrete PoE for today (donāt really believe in it) and i donāt really have a teamsolve, itās just a cluster of 3 slots iād like the spotlight to remain on
Slightly off-topic, Iām 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 Frogās 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 donāt know for sure, even if I like to think I do
no problems. itās a question of like, perception and philosophy, so either one is valid. the trick to the question is whether or not you catch that itās a question about behavioural tells rather than a question of mafia theory. i donāt think you caught that which doesnāt fill me with confidence that you were considering which one of them was sincere.
i feel like i want to trust you when youāre under scrutiny, and i donāt trust you when youāre not.
@wolves can you just surrender? mafia is hard and iām tired
