TL;DR: Vote Bluedoom

I've been trying to stew on a coherent way to structure this post for a little bit and am having a bit of difficulty; maybe it's just from fever brain fog but anyway my tylenol is kicking in so I am gonna try to crank this out while I have a semblance of lucidity in me.

BD has been pretty "off" to me this game and makes me think that this slot is more likely than not scum. Generally I dislike how he has been pretty UTR all game to me; I acknowledge that part of this is due to timezone but there seems to be a distinct difference between disengaged players like DBD and pulsar (who I am not giving a free pass, just distinguishing) and BD in my mind. The other UTR players have been receiving at least a token amount of scrutiny from players but I just don't see this similar pressure on BD? Which is suspect? So I am going to put some pressure on him now.

My first interaction with him was in 338 where he sorta breadcrumbed that I should have voted tommy based off of our interaction w/r/t D1 rand. That struck me as odd but not damning. After all, why wouldn't have he just voted tommy himself? Additionally this is more of a playermeta thing so take it with a grain of salt but generally I have noted BD to be "nicer" when he is scum? BD is always a chill guy and is never mean which is great, but the last scumgame I played with him that sticks out in my memory (Zorbees' big city) scum BD was similarly nicer than usual. So these initially keyed me in on this slot.

Speaking more broadly I also dislike how he has generally tunneled on NE and skip all game (technically as early as 238 but I'll be generous and give a beginning at 729 where it seemingly begins in earnest); I am not saying that I necessarily TR NE or here but this tunneling gives BD an excuse to *not* put pressure on most other players, which in turn prevents negative reactions from the wagoned players. I could totally see a world here where BD is attempting to bus NE (if not actively, then passively) in order to gain significant towncred, and generally when I identify this I prefer to vote the bussER before the busEE because it is more alignment-indicative to me. I am also generally not the biggest fan of an NE wagon; I admit that that is pretty vibes-based on my end but it seems to be a similar LHF situation at a cursory glance.

The other person that I could see BD being aligned with is DBD. He seems to be doing a pretty classic scum breadcrumbing vote strategy there. He always finds that DBD's position is not great but conveniently always finds a better option to vote due to DBD's "lack of info" (more on this later)

His general voting pattern throughout D1 and D2 has been suspect to me as well; looking back we see he votes Vizh in 238 and was actually the first to vote aligning in 781 before landing on NE again in 898. However he has been pretty non-committal with his actual vote desires and has indicated a desire to vote people in a very TMI-esque way without actually doing so. Let's take a look at some of these:
Hmm, I kinda like the idea of voting NE because he hasn't said something, but AS makes a good point that Vizh's questions don't feel like they're going anywhere.

Unvote Vote:Vizh
- Likes voting NE because he hasn't said anything (fine, I grant it was early in the game but still worth noting)
Anyway I would seriously consider a skipper vote too just because the thread summary post that he made just looks like an empty list post that I'd expect scum to make; yes there's analysis but it doesn't feel like he's following it up with a vote on anyone and just feels like he's making it for the sake of optics
- See skipper point here
ok bluedoom doesnt have much to iso. uhh "Hmm, I kinda like the idea of voting NE because he hasn't said something but" **votes vizh anyways** from 238 rubs me the wrong way bc the past pages have been a lot of "hey whats going on with sunny" arguing and this seems rly waffly? i get that thats not always equal to scummy but in this case where like half the pl has taken a stance it rly reads to me like wanted to comment on it while flying utr (which also lowkey remidns me of bd scumgames)

I also do think that vizh needs some scrutiny however,
- Totally unrelated but I just found Hyhy's 263 which really sums up my general vibe. But anyway moving on
Mulling it over though, the one thing I'd wanna know is sunny004 how do you feel about duskfall after his interaction with you? My impression from the exchange was that you seemed displeased with it but it didn't amount to a scumread, so curious
yeah I asked because I felt like that was worth a push, I think semantics based arguments this early feel more mafia-like because, what else are they going to push to start something? And tommy seems like the kinda player to do that. But also the guy is sick and I want to see more from him so idk. I'd have vote him if I was in your place tbh
- I talked about this earlier but this interaction with me struck me as pretty odd? Like again why not vote tommy yourself
Unvote

I'm having this problem where every time I scum read someone, my brain formulates a reason for why that could come from town too, decision paralysis at its worst

I'm personally fine with Vizh's reads post from pages earlier though. Thinking that the vote could go on NE(I'm not sure how dbd is the take away vote after his analysis), maybe CK(I'm gonna reread him but my first impression was that the progression of his reads felt off to me). I'd probably not vote skip, kinda ok seeing where his reads are going. skippergamez can you explain your read on charlie/sb to me?

I think I'd also consider voting aligningstar here, there isn't anything else i remember from them other than a case on Vizh.
- This is 729. Note again here how he breadcrumbs a NE vote while taking pressure off of DBD.
I said that I'd be back and then got distracted, whoops.

I don't know how I feel about the thread state atm. Gut says that we land on a misvote with skip/vizh votes after thinking about it, but I'm not sure about new leads.

-I don't like CK's flip between Vizh and skipper, it doesn't feel like both of them posted much for CK to go from Vizh to skip, especially when he justified the initial Vizh through citing people saying that skip is playing to his townmeta/could be miselim bait, what changed?

-I don't find NE's suggestion to vote pulsar or DbD inspiring, what are you achieving with the pulsar elim and why is it better than voting a more active player?

-Don't like Tommy's vote on Lechen because uh what were aiming to do voting a lowposter exactly? I don't think this is as bad as the other people I've mentioned, but Lechen himself isn't going to be threatened by a vanity vote asking him to contribute.

-There's enough in this thread for AligningStars to have more reads than his RVS case on Vizh, which makes me think that he's a good vote right about now.

-I'm w/e about pulsar, although in the games I've played with her in, she's usually D1/D2 misvote bait who isn't as active as I would expect her to be.

-I think I wouldn't touch charlie until either skip flips or there's reasonable evidence to suggest that skip is town. That said, between Vizh and Skip I vote skip here, but think that both wagons will land on a misvote now.

I'm not touching dbd/ag/lechen today, and never touchung hyhy.

Think I'm willing to vote from whoever I listed. Vote: AligningStars

sunny/blazade/des/mekkah/af...I don't have strong feelings about these people, sorry.
- 781. Focus on the blue highlighted parts here; more on that later.
I don't think dbd is *townie* perse but he's such a dead end vote, if he's mafia, great, if he's town, aren't we back to square one? I can't remember any significant interactions with him off the top of my head
This is the same reason I find the pulsar vote to be meh
Well hm. We could pelt night emerald for suggesting both votes
- 854-856. Consistent here with above, just posting to establish the pattern.
- NE was always suspicious of pulsar, and then got flak for voting DBD (where they were the solo vote), so they swapped to pulsar because they’re solo voting anyway so why not move to the wagon you actually want?

- That’s just me pointing out that you saying NE isn’t active as part of your reasoning for voting NE doesn’t make a ton of sense within the context of the pl

- You said that DBD/pulsar weren’t solvey votes as part of the reasoning for voting NE, but the same applies to the 3 DBD voters I mentioned

- The role claim is the reasoning that NE gave for voting ASS

I’d vote one of: CK, DBD, des, Lechen, pulsar, and skipper

bluedoom what’s your read on Lechen?
-going to have to go back and check on this because I thought that NE wanted both out so its not like pulsar was much preferred over dbd(at least that's how I read it)

-I guess? I do think its more influenced by how I think NE the solver would feel more invested but I think this line of argument boils down to discussing a meta read.

-Ah right, fair. I did address how I read the other few in some of my other posts though.

-Gotcha.

Lechen is town imo, if you want to know why, and you've got the time, read an iso of his posts from low power mafia. He's playing the exact same game that he played over there, even if the defensiveness is not helpful.
I guess if not NE I'd vote skip/pulsar here though, I think its weird to justify a vote on CK today. Vig claim+vote blocked would give me the first impression that he's town.

I would probably? Not vote dbd given his claim of being blocked, but honestly from a gameplay perspective between dbd/pulsar its hard to tell. I don't know how I feel about voting des here but I will say that I've never really played with scum!des before. I'm not opposed to it I guess.
- Adding vizh's post here for context since BD's 1579 (middle post) is responding to it. This seems like a big turn to me personally; it didn't take too much convincing for BD to peel off of NE, who he has been basically been laser-focused on all game, and onto pulsar (and conveniently NOT DBD, although I do recognize the RB claim there presents issues). Didn't he just say that he didn't like voting this slot because it wouldn't have provided too much info? And that pulsar is classic D2 miselim bait? I get that it's now D2 but the arguments he raises above still apply, no? Seems very inconsistent to me.
What if this is just skip/pulsar/NE/+1? And then the wolf can be anyone(I really hope that its CK and he just made the classic bad fakeclaim in a vig)
- But note how he hedges here wrt NE.

Anyway sorry if this was completely incoherent but I think BD has been very UTR and honestly quite inconsistent with his votes + seems to be doing scum breadcrumb voting and it doesn't smell right to me.

I need to go to bed soon due to my illness but I recognize that I am just dropping a nuke and then am sleeping shortly afterwards; since it was just a vaccine I should be better tomorrow but lmk if any questions before I sleep; otherwise I will certainly be around tomorrow morning when I am better + certainly will be on near EOD so feel free to grill me on any of these points + anything incoherent I may have written (which is very possible given my current state.)
 
This is like the 4th or 5th post that's calling my game UTR which annoys me because even if you think that my D1 is UTR(and I can't help it because D1 feels more rand and my timezone doesn't lend itself to it) my D2 has been anything but UTR, I'm not staying up all night just to talk to people when they get in the thread.
 
BD has been pretty "off" to me this game and makes me think that this slot is more likely than not scum. Generally I dislike how he has been pretty UTR all game to me; I acknowledge that part of this is due to timezone but there seems to be a distinct difference between disengaged players like DBD and pulsar (who I am not giving a free pass, just distinguishing) and BD in my mind.

*taps sign*
And tbh most of my SRing like I said in my post was from your progression anyway

-The reason I expected you to vote Tommy while I myself didn't vote him is because at that point some of your responses towards him looked defensive to me and it felt like you were shading him on some level. Its different from my end since I didn't want to commit to a read on him when he was getting things out while he was sick, I didn't want to vote him at that point.

I will give you that I am much nicer as mafia but clearly I can't be the judge of how "nice" I am in this game given my bias.

-I don't think its fair to call my reads on NE/skip as tunneling, I've hedged a lot wrt skip D1, and I am fine voting non-NE too?? For a period of time I even had an AS vote over NE so this isn't even true. I don't think there's anything NE has done this game to be considered townie, what you're doing is casing me for casing a guy who hasn't shown any town-sided behaviour, let that sink in. For a guy who is much more invested in solving and playing with people he likes, he isn't doing any of that.

The reason I was not for voting pulsar/dbd yesterday is because D1 is the most important vote in terms of setting the tone to get interactions, and pulsar barely had(and still has) interactions with anyone and DBD isn't much better, its just a really bad vote for D1. NE(and Aligning) were ok votes in my eyes because they were around quite a bit but felt like they lacked presence in a way which warranted a vote from my end.

HOWEVER D2 the big difference is that I'm very confident in an ag(af by proxy)/Hyhy/charlie/Lechen and CK's claim pretty much means he's not the vote today. That leaves my voting pool at pulsar/NE/skip/DBD/Mekkah/you/des/Vizh. Given that I have stronger townreads its not the worst to vote a less active slot.

I'm never voting Mekkah/Vizh over the rest today, and probably not you over them either. I'd rather note vote DbD after he claimed blocked, and I do have my reasons for that. That does land me in a pulsar/NE/skip/des vote today which is consistent with what I've been doing so far?


-Just gonna address the hyhy point but I debunked his point on me like immediately because he was wrong and I did comment on you vs tommy so I don't know why you brought it up.


You either think that I'm scum tunneling on 1 or 2 players and getting by with that, or you think that I'm hedging and keeping my options open for the vote. Which one is it? Because both points contradict each other.
 
Like I'm not sure why we are in a world where we're defending NE/pulsar/skip(its been almost 36 hours since day started and NE still hasn't posted)


And skip's contribution for d1 has been to votepark on Vizh the entire day...and he has suddenly forgotten that Vizh was a scumread of his? Nor does he mention anything about sunny or charlie, whom he had as scumleans too, so his new reads are me/Lechen?

Why am I spelling this out?

I like this post and the longer we go without new content from any of them the more I’m going to like it
