Not open for further replies.
Celever's blitz on the thread specifically feels like a desperately self-aware attempt to try and take a townie down with him. I'm treating phoopes's post spree as NAI, I think it could easily be distancing rather than a T/S fight

yeahhh I'm ngl the fact des actually flipped scum increases the chance of her voters being scum exponentially
Bussing des day 1, when there is barely any information, is honestly silly:
a) Des is the slot that, as scum, you would want to get late into the game in order to be able to bus her more effectively
b) The vote was tied anyways, so I could have easily gone with you and phoopes onto a pulsar vote and washed my hands of any responsibility later on wrt des

is DBD the type of person to bus scumbuddy des D1? yes, definitely, and combined with his weak posting it all tracks to me

killing Evie is the counterargument to this because if you're hardbussing why would you start killing the town who hardbussed with you, it'll leave you exposed longterm, but it ultimately comes down to WIFOM
This argument falls apart when you realize we're talking about des here and not some other player.

The string of posts from DBD here is what's called pre-flipping, where your posts accidentally reveal that you know the alignment of a player or players. DBD's not scumreading me for the content of my posts, he's scumreading me for voting town (pulsar, who I assume is town due to these posts) and not the scum (des). Obviously I didn't know which was which faction, there were like 10 posts yesterday and most slots didn't have anything particularly AI, but DBD seemed to.
This is also just blatantly false. If you read my actual posting, you'd know that I was scumreading Celever for voting the AFK player (pulsar) rather than the actual people he scumread.
##vote: dead by daylight
while I'm here wtf was this silent vote from genisu all about?
In particular the "I'm not voting pulsar when the vote is this fishy" the people voting pulsar were Celever and phoopes, the people voting des were Miyami and Evie. Two people per wagon is already basically under the bar where you can reasonably start thinking about the alignment of the people on the wagon as a determinant of where your vote should go -- like, you're looking at 4/12 (not inc yourself) players in the game, AND voting for someone not included in the 4/12
That's your prerogative. From my POV, I look at the 2 wagons and see that two of my biggest scumreads are voting on one, while there is another viable wagon on des. I also think pulsar has more potential to do better than des, so I place my vote. You are extrapolating this from nothing here
everything about the tie vote is true but yeah, as no one mentioned it in-thread the likeliest thing is that no one really checked (especially as it seems like no one checked when deadline was either lol) so I don't think it factored into decision making. I'd say different if DBD said "I'm voting des because a tie vote would be a no vote and that's bad" but he didn't, and when the speculation here is that scum DBD wouldn't do it bc he wants to get towncred for not tie voting... well scum DBD would get that towncred by saying it out loud and he didn't do that

des voting for DBD isn't smth I'd noticed and gives me more pause for thought only because idk how easy it would be to get des in on that plan. otoh would des be a busser? lowk I could see it. there's a world for sure where DBD got voted by scumbud des without it being planned and retaliated.

DBD has done big gambits before as scum IIRC. if he hasn't I have a heavy impression that he would so he's said it somewhere. that's why this kind of rationale of "oh it wouldn't be the obvious / optimal gameplay" doesn't really factor for me here bc DBD doesn't play with the most obvious/optimal gameplay

and none of this is a counter-argument to the content of his posts pre-flipping players anyway, which is why I actually scumread him. I don't scumread him because of the gambit, I scumread him because he already knew what would happen after the gambit succeeded and started posting like it had happened already
let me get to this post too after debunking the pre-flipping argument. I play NOC assuming everyone knows the mechanics (not the interactions, necessarily, just the setup and rules), especially in a simple game like this. I'm not going to be saying "this vote is to break a tie" because I assume everyone knew that tying = no vote here. Sue me.

Why would I retaliate against des in any world by killing her off D1? Again, this is just grasping at any little straw here. I also take gambits that I think are likely to lead to a better position, not to sabotage a scumteam I'm on.

I'd also like to see more content from phoopes, independent of Celever. I do like the setup posting from him, but at this moment I'm leaning more towards this back-and-forth being a distancing attempt rather than an actual push.

##Vote: Celever
 
ok cool so dbd
Celever's blitz on the thread specifically feels like a desperately self-aware attempt to try and take a townie down with him.
[/QUOTE]
cool ok so we're thunderdoming. that's fine. good to start the post as you mean to go on
I'm treating phoopes's post spree as NAI, I think it could easily be distancing rather than a T/S fight
[/QUOTE]
??? why would phoopes even be involved he asked like 2 questions to me. it wasn't even a fight. you and jalmont (my theory scum pair from D1) have both crafted this narrative already so that looks worse for you lol
Bussing des day 1, when there is barely any information, is honestly silly:
a) Des is the slot that, as scum, you would want to get late into the game in order to be able to bus her more effectively
[/QUOTE]
......what's the logic here, how is a late game bus better than an early game bus? des was gonna post content for you to more effectively use to send her over? there's no practical difference besides late game buses being harder to execute because you've already previously read the slot and you have to U-Turn on it if you're trying to carry des to lategame. and it's des so you would have little reason to U-Turn if you were previously townreading her.

I legit don't understand your logic here whether it's fake logic or not
b) The vote was tied anyways, so I could have easily gone with you and phoopes onto a pulsar vote and washed my hands of any responsibility later on wrt des
[/QUOTE]
ok and that's not actually a point. You could have done that, or you could have bussed your partner for towncred. My argument is you bussed your partner for towncred.
This is also just blatantly false. If you read my actual posting, you'd know that I was scumreading Celever for voting the AFK player (pulsar) rather than the actual people he scumread.
[/QUOTE]
weird narrative, I literally quoted and directly responded to the post you're referring to (this one I imagine:)
the way Celever’s posting and voting the AFK and not the scumreads makes me think he doesn’t trust himself whatsoever, and I think that’s coming from him being scum and knowing he’s wrong
if you're town it's not beneficial to create false narratives even if you scumread someone. because then you get called out for creating a false narrative and look scummy.

here's my response:
The main reason why this is pre-flipping is the agenda of the posts, though. The most rationale DBD gave for his entire EoD posting being about me is "he seems unsure, I think it's coming from him being scum and knowing he's wrong". The trouble is that's an insane thing to say D1 lol. A player as experienced as DBD should know that in a pretty dead D1 there's extremely limited readable content to work from, and so people who don't have the answers will be unsure. What about my posting was less sure than others'? What about the people who were here but never voted? We just came out of a game where DBD survived a long time against a scumteam who waited until right before deadline to vote every day, and won in large part because this strategy was a blindspot for DBD and he townread all the scum doing this. You'd think when DBD now looks for people biding their time and being unsure, he'd look at the people using the same scum tactic as what only just beat him, but apparently not.
This is what you need to respond to, I'd recommend doing that instead of pretending I haven't talked about it. While you're at it please also respond to this, which you still haven't despite it happening yesterday and being prodded to multiple times:
DBD never responded to this btw, just called my posts "bad"
That's your prerogative. From my POV, I look at the 2 wagons and see that two of my biggest scumreads are voting on one, while there is another viable wagon on des. I also think pulsar has more potential to do better than des, so I place my vote. You are extrapolating this from nothing here
[/QUOTE]
"two of my biggest scumreads"? homie the first time you've said phoopes' name is THIS post. like the one you just made that I'm quoting. you didn't even say phoopes' name yesterday.

if phoopes was/is one of your biggest scumreads you have to say it. Otherwise it just looks like you're pulling out any justifications you can think of after the fact to look less scummy.

"you are extrapolating this from nothing" when you apparently don't post your scumreads in-thread and then say "oh but it's bc I actually hard scumread this guy" that's the only option anyone has
let me get to this post too after debunking the pre-flipping argument.
[/QUOTE]
I'm looking forward to you ctually doing this. Why were you posting like you already knew how the flip was gonna turn out?
I play NOC assuming everyone knows the mechanics (not the interactions, necessarily, just the setup and rules), especially in a simple game like this. I'm not going to be saying "this vote is to break a tie" because I assume everyone knew that tying = no vote here. Sue me.
[/QUOTE]
You've played on Smogon before. You know that most of us don't read the OP, and when we do we don't remember what's in it lmao

You don't need to say "this vote is to break a tie" but in order to contribute to town, when you're online close to EoD where the wagons are tied or almost tied, I would absolutely expect you to say "btw a tie is a no vote this game so we need to make sure we don't tie the wagons". Y'know, just to be a helpful member of the town, especially if the tie mechanics were front of mind for you. You didn't, so I have to assume they weren't front of mind for you.

Maybe you did know the tie mechanics, I'm not questioning that. But to pretend after the fact that the tie mechanics are WHY you acted in the way you did, when nothing you posted at the time even remotely hinted to it playing a role, especially when you provided alternative justifications at the time (which are dodgy and that's why I'm voting you but you still provided them). Yeah this stinks, it's just not what happened. Either you're scum, or you're town lying about why you did it after the fact because phoopes' theory sounded better than what you were actually thinking at the time. And if you're the latter, lying about it is just digging a hole that makes you scummier long term.

It's extremely convenient that phoopes "happened" to be right about why you acted in the way you did despite nothing in-thread pointing to that being why you behaved in that way.
Why would I retaliate against des in any world by killing her off D1? Again, this is just grasping at any little straw here.
[/QUOTE]
Yeah that could have played a role in why it happened or it could not have. That's speculation, you can call it grasping at straws, but it's a counter-argument to "he would never act in this way" because it's a reason why you might have acted in that way. That's how arguments work x3
I also take gambits that I think are likely to lead to a better position, not to sabotage a scumteam I'm on.
[/QUOTE]
You don't think it's likely that voting out des D1 would lead to a better position? Why not? I think usually it would.
I'd also like to see more content from phoopes, independent of Celever. I do like the setup posting from him, but at this moment I'm leaning more towards this back-and-forth being a distancing attempt rather than an actual push.
Sure, develop this theory. Why does it look like a distancing attempt to you? Case me brother
 
btw the fact DBD now claims to have had 2 non-des players as "2 of his biggest scumreads" in THAT threadstate yesterday makes his des vote make even less sense

also Dead by Daylight please towncase Miyami, based on your posts yesterday you have to townread her so I'm looking forward to learning why
 
"two of my biggest scumreads"? homie the first time you've said phoopes' name is THIS post. like the one you just made that I'm quoting. you didn't even say phoopes' name yesterday.

if phoopes was/is one of your biggest scumreads you have to say it. Otherwise it just looks like you're pulling out any justifications you can think of after the fact to look less scummy.
YEAH WHAT HE SAID

(I still don't think you're scum @ DBD but lol)

anyway not convinced that Celever is scum but I really don't like the tunneling. There are other players that I'd like to hear more from (namely AirC and ShyPebble) before I post a full reads list
 
yeah I'd like to comment on setup and whether jailkeeper/follower should claim.

---
Let's start with jailkeeper:

If we're in setup 2, jailkeeper is our only power role left and if they claim, that makes jailkeeper the next night target for sure. Only way we avoid that is if jailkeeper jails the mafia performing the kill if jailing takes priority over the kill (I think it should? but idk where the priority list is if we have one).

If we're in setup 3 there's no jailkeeper. Next.

If we're in setup 4 I still think jailkeeper shouldn't claim, because we have no protection other than jailkeeper jailing the killer which is a shot in the dark essentially. Would be a throwaway I think.

Basically, please do NOT claim if you're jailkeeper. As for follower, if we have one, that means we're in setup 3 or 4.

If you saw "Kill," I would claim. That's an easy redcheck and we vote the person out and are down to only one mafia left so I think that's worth it, even if we don't know if we're in setup 3 or 4. We then have a 1vs8 going into Day 3 which would be the biggest choke job of all time if we lose.

If you saw "Investigate" and you didn't target Evie, I would claim. Since we know Evie was Tracker and was dead, that means we're in setup 4 and whoever you followed was mafia rolecop so that's still a redcheck. Thus we can vote that person out and be down to only one mafia left, giving us another 1vs8 going into Day 3 in this scenario, which would again be the biggest choke job of all time if we lose.

If you saw "Block," I think I would still claim (but am open to hearing other arguments). At this point you could've hit jailkeeper or rolecop, meaning we're in setup 4. Ignoring the defenses from said player, call it a 50/50 whether it's a redcheck or you hit jailkeeper.
  • If it's a redcheck, awesome, we vote out the mafia and are in GREAT position, with only one mafia left and still having an anonymous jailkeeper. At the very worst we have that 1vs8 going into Day 3.
  • If you actually hit jailkeeper and we vote out the jailkeeper, this is obviously sucks, because then we lose jailkeeper and we also (presumably) lose you, the follower, next night. But even then... we're left with a 2vs7 going into day 3. We've lost all power roles, but thanks to the des lynch on day 1, we're still at very good odds to win. We could in theory mislynch on day 3 and 4 and still be in the game with a 2vs3 on day 5.
If you saw "No Action," that doesn't really give us a ton of info so I would lay low. But anything else? I would claim. Like I said though, open to hearing other arguments for the "Block" scenario.

tl;dr - If we have a jailkeeper, please don't claim! If we have a follower, don't claim if you hit "No Action," claim if you get "Kill," "Investigate," or "Block."
also damn I worked really hard on this post and no one really acknowledged it I'm sad :(

Maybe this information was obvious to all of you but I thought it was helpful!
 
let's thunderdome then, formatting is messed up so i'll just bold your statements

??? why would phoopes even be involved he asked like 2 questions to me. it wasn't even a fight. you and jalmont (my theory scum pair from D1) have both crafted this narrative already so that looks worse for you lol
not sure what definition of "fight" you are using considering you two came up with diametrically opposite explanations of what happened last vote, and phoopes presented his explanation as well so I consider him to be involved, i don't care if you want to pair me with jalmont because of this

......what's the logic here, how is a late game bus better than an early game bus? des was gonna post content for you to more effectively use to send her over? there's no practical difference besides late game buses being harder to execute because you've already previously read the slot and you have to U-Turn on it if you're trying to carry des to lategame. and it's des so you would have little reason to U-Turn if you were previously townreading her.
Nobody is really going to be able to townread Des with certainty, let's be real here. Late-game buses aren't difficult to execute when the player is des and most people just throw her in null territory, and it's basically agreed that des cannot be in LYLO/MYLO scenarios atp.

This is what you need to respond to, I'd recommend doing that instead of pretending I haven't talked about it. While you're at it please also respond to this, which you still haven't despite it happening yesterday and being prodded to multiple times:
Sure, I'll respond to both. For the first one, I scumread you because a) there was clear support for a vote on me, just look at genisu and des, and b) you decided to push the easiest deflection option in Pulsar. You knew that you could potentially rack up a vote on one of your biggest scumreads, and yet you chose to just...not.

"two of my biggest scumreads"? homie the first time you've said phoopes' name is THIS post. like the one you just made that I'm quoting. you didn't even say phoopes' name yesterday.

if phoopes was/is one of your biggest scumreads you have to say it. Otherwise it just looks like you're pulling out any justifications you can think of after the fact to look less scummy.

"you are extrapolating this from nothing" when you apparently don't post your scumreads in-thread and then say "oh but it's bc I actually hard scumread this guy" that's the only option anyone has


I'll admit that I probably should have told the thread that I was going to backread yesterday, but after that backread I found myself agreeing with Jalmont more about phoopes's slot in particular, namely how little he actually contributed on D1 and chose the easy lynch on Pulsar

Maybe you did know the tie mechanics, I'm not questioning that. But to pretend after the fact that the tie mechanics are WHY you acted in the way you did, when nothing you posted at the time even remotely hinted to it playing a role, especially when you provided alternative justifications at the time (which are dodgy and that's why I'm voting you but you still provided them). Yeah this stinks, it's just not what happened.
I never claimed the mechanics were why I acted in the way I did, in fact I said the exact opposite (again, that I saw two of the biggest scumreads I had on one wagon) as my primary justification and then justified why I didn't explicitly say "this vote is to break a tie". Again, you are trying to blow things out of proportion to frame me as illogical, and it's just not going to work, sadly for you

You don't think it's likely that voting out des D1 would lead to a better position? Why not? I think usually it would.

Again, des is someone who isn't really going to go far in any scenario unless she ups her posting drastically. Even if we bus her D1, the mafia just lynch the wagon and when someone doesn't die on it, they automatically gain a lot of suspicion around them for staying alive. Curious to see why you think losing a prime bussing opportunity would lead to a better position

Sure, develop this theory. Why does it look like a distancing attempt to you? Case me brother

Both of you paired on the Pulsar vote, which was one of the biggest opportunities to counterwagon flipped scum, on the same line of reasoning (eliminating AFKs is good for the game). Then, immediately after des flipped scum, you two both entered thread and took opposing viewpoints on my slot in order to try and seem like you weren't mindmelding D1.

also Dead by Daylight please towncase Miyami, based on your posts yesterday you have to townread her so I'm looking forward to learning why
Miyami is a solid mafia player from the NOCs she's played, and I find it hard to believe that any good mafia player is pushing for a policy vote on their scummate D1. Considering the other person who agreed with her was Evie, who is now conftown, I find it hard to believe that she would push so hard on des earlygame and still end up voting her in a D1 bus attempt.
 
anyway not convinced that Celever is scum but I really don't like the tunneling. There are other players that I'd like to hear more from (namely @AirC and @ShyPebble) before I post a full reads list
actually genisu where you at

you voted three different people yesterday (Neon, followed by AirC, followed by DBD). In the post before your DBD vote you said you'd be "comfortable" voting for AirC, Celever, or Neon (post #153), and then three hours later you vote DBD with no explanation (post #174) other than you'd "rather go for a slot that has potential to give actual info (post #201). So yes, I can see why you didn't vote for pulsar. But why DBD specifically? since you were apparently more comfortable voting for AirC, Celever, or Neon. I'd think you'd go for des if you were looking to hop on a wagon

I'll respond to the rest in a bit but nah

why were you townreading Miyami YESTERDAY, when your posts stated you were. This is pre-flipping again if this was your logic yesterday because we didn't know des was scum yet

please towncase Miyami in the context of D1
 
I'll admit that I probably should have told the thread that I was going to backread yesterday, but after that backread I found myself agreeing with Jalmont more about phoopes's slot in particular, namely how little he actually contributed on D1 and chose the easy lynch on Pulsar
I didn't post much day one, but I contributed just fine IMO. I stayed consistent with behavior/thoughts from previous games (advocating for lynch>no vote, advocating against lynching des just because she's des, advocating for getting rid of inactives, advocating against early claiming), and at least tried to bump thread for more activity when we were close to deadline. I guess it was more of the same old me! Other than questioning jalmont for his initial no-vote, but that's because I never played with him before so I didn't know that that was a "thing" or whatever.
Both of you paired on the Pulsar vote, which was one of the biggest opportunities to counterwagon flipped scum, on the same line of reasoning (eliminating AFKs is good for the game). Then, immediately after des flipped scum, you two both entered thread and took opposing viewpoints on my slot in order to try and seem like you weren't mindmelding D1.
I don't think we mindmelded. Looking at what I mentioned I did and comparing to Celever, a stark difference is that Celever advocated for claiming masons/IC day one where I was against it. Celever also scumread jalmont in a possible OMGUS in post #136 whereas I did not despite jalmont scumreading both of us. In fact, based off Celever's posting it seems his "solve" if you can call it that on day one, was DBD, jalmont, pulsar (DBD and jalmont from earlier posts, pulsar from the actual vote). Whereas I felt I didn't have enough information to make a scumread list so I voted for an inactive, as I am wont to do on day one.

I do think it's kind of nuts that you think I'm paired with Celever and Celever thinks I'm paired with you though lol. As mentioned I don't think you're scum. And I'm leaning Celever town because I really don't think a scum Celever would be tunneling this hard on someone because it makes him look kind of bad.

Basically, I think the three of us are all town and the mafia is laying low trying to let us tinfoil ourselves into lynching each other. I mean hell, look at the votes already. One for each of you. They could very easily be staying back and let people pick a side in this "Celever vs. DBD" fight which is really TvT. When one of you flips town, then we lynch the other one. When you both flip town, all of a sudden we're down to a 2vs5 in Day 4 already (taking into account the two nightkills).

---

The more I typed this post the more I became convinced that you're both town. Calling for a ceasefire between the two of you (lol) so we can focus our attention on hearing more from other people (like AirC, ShyPebble, and genisu) like I mentioned earlier
 
tbh my biggest scumread is AirC but like I said would like to see more

thinking this because while I also defended des, AirC spent multiple posts doing so while still qualifying that they weren't defending des that much (calling the "great" game not so great)

also related my initial read on genisu was scum, but I always have that inkling and he's not acting really differently than normal, so I suspect that means genisu is town. and AirC was pushed by genisu a bit and made a little cheeky comment about genisu's pushing to possibly throw us off the scent

also also I don't like the AirC post from today so far, the "oops deadline" when it was very obvious as well as saying they'd reread then not post anything

so yeah may be a bit grasping at straws but there's very little content in the thread so that's what I got as far as my biggest scumread
 
let's thunderdome then, formatting is messed up so i'll just bold your statements

??? why would phoopes even be involved he asked like 2 questions to me. it wasn't even a fight. you and jalmont (my theory scum pair from D1) have both crafted this narrative already so that looks worse for you lol
not sure what definition of "fight" you are using considering you two came up with diametrically opposite explanations of what happened last vote, and phoopes presented his explanation as well so I consider him to be involved, i don't care if you want to pair me with jalmont because of this
The definition of fight I had in my mind was the definition of fight. Y'know, like, two people arguing with intensity with each other.

Like we argued but there was no intensity in it, there was no for lack of a better term fight from either of us I think. We just had a discussion.

It's relevant because by framing it as a fight it makes the distancing theory make more sense. Like yeah, scumbuds do fight with each other to distance. Fights are memorable, so fights are more effective distancing.
......what's the logic here, how is a late game bus better than an early game bus? des was gonna post content for you to more effectively use to send her over? there's no practical difference besides late game buses being harder to execute because you've already previously read the slot and you have to U-Turn on it if you're trying to carry des to lategame. and it's des so you would have little reason to U-Turn if you were previously townreading her.
Nobody is really going to be able to townread Des with certainty, let's be real here. Late-game buses aren't difficult to execute when the player is des and most people just throw her in null territory, and it's basically agreed that des cannot be in LYLO/MYLO scenarios atp.
Right, and this logic is literally... why it makes more sense to bus des early. des being bussed in the lategame doesn't get anyone any credit, it's des, people will just go "oh she randomly flipped scum this time" and lolshrug under the knowledge that we all would've voted her out in like the cycle before MYLO regardless of her actions this game so it's NAI for all involved. But voting des out D1 is better because it's uncommon, and so the people on the wagon will actually get towncred for it. They did something against what usually happens on Smogon and hit scum. That's towncred.

The conversation isn't "when is it easiest to vote des out", it's "when is it best to bus des?" and the answer to the question is early.
This is what you need to respond to, I'd recommend doing that instead of pretending I haven't talked about it. While you're at it please also respond to this, which you still haven't despite it happening yesterday and being prodded to multiple times:
Sure, I'll respond to both. For the first one, I scumread you because a) there was clear support for a vote on me, just look at genisu and des, and b) you decided to push the easiest deflection option in Pulsar. You knew that you could potentially rack up a vote on one of your biggest scumreads, and yet you chose to just...not.
sure, but there were like 5 posts yesterday so I didn't have a "biggest scumread". which is why I said "I don't have a big scumread we might as well just vote the afk".

you're not actually saying why the pulsar vote was bad (which it was) which is that we have loads of subs. when I voted I straight up just, didn't think of that. I just got home from being out and was drunk and high lol it was by all means not optimal gameplay to vote pulsar yesterday, I just voted someone bc I learned deadline was before I'd wake up and came up with the best option in my compromised mind

what didn't happen is anything you said here which is a lot of uh really weird stuff. didn't genisu add support to your vote after I scumread you anyway? like I was high I might not have remembered genisu scumreading you at the time but I remember not knowing it happened when I scumread you because des voted for you and I went "oh cool I'm mindmelding". That's why I quoted des' post when I talked about it....

which yes I understand that des was scum but that's what happened lol
"two of my biggest scumreads"? homie the first time you've said phoopes' name is THIS post. like the one you just made that I'm quoting. you didn't even say phoopes' name yesterday.

if phoopes was/is one of your biggest scumreads you have to say it. Otherwise it just looks like you're pulling out any justifications you can think of after the fact to look less scummy.

"you are extrapolating this from nothing" when you apparently don't post your scumreads in-thread and then say "oh but it's bc I actually hard scumread this guy" that's the only option anyone has


I'll admit that I probably should have told the thread that I was going to backread yesterday, but after that backread I found myself agreeing with Jalmont more about phoopes's slot in particular, namely how little he actually contributed on D1 and chose the easy lynch on Pulsar
You understand how this is more evidence for the pre-flipping argument right lol. It's bonkers to be this confident that people voting for pulsar, who had posted 0 times, are scummy for voting pulsar. because pulsar had posted 0 times.

you're speaking as if you know pulsar is town. you were speaking like that yesterday and you still are! how could you possibly think that when she never posted

"voting pulsar is just carte blanche bad" might be something I'd agree with if you'd made the "we had subs" point before I brought it up, but you've had so many responses to this situation without saying it that clearly it didn't factor into your solving. so I can't even give you brownie points for it. half of what I'm doing here is getting you to produce content that could convince me you're town, and you're swatting away all the lay ups lol.
Maybe you did know the tie mechanics, I'm not questioning that. But to pretend after the fact that the tie mechanics are WHY you acted in the way you did, when nothing you posted at the time even remotely hinted to it playing a role, especially when you provided alternative justifications at the time (which are dodgy and that's why I'm voting you but you still provided them). Yeah this stinks, it's just not what happened.
I never claimed the mechanics were why I acted in the way I did, in fact I said the exact opposite (again, that I saw two of the biggest scumreads I had on one wagon) as my primary justification and then justified why I didn't explicitly say "this vote is to break a tie". Again, you are trying to blow things out of proportion to frame me as illogical, and it's just not going to work, sadly for you
ok so this is gonna turn circular because you're not actually rebutting the pre-flipping situation but if the logic wasn't the ties, you were pre-flipping in those posts which means you're scum. the tie stuff is phoopes' AU where you had different logic instead, but yeah you didn't have that logic so it was pre-flipping unless you can explain what logic you had that isn't related to seemingly knowing the alignments

because it's still outlandish to townread Evie and Miyami so hard on D1 (I do think Evie had a fairly towny D1 so there's an argument there! make it! You already whiffed your lay up to justify the Miyami D1 townread but please do try again) and scumread Celever and phoopes so hard D1 (apparently phoopes for not contributing? when there were like 5 posts yesterday no one contributed LOL why would it only be scummy for phoopes?????) which is where the pre-flipping perspective comes from. what you're claiming to have been your logic literally cannot be your logic.
You don't think it's likely that voting out des D1 would lead to a better position? Why not? I think usually it would.

Again, des is someone who isn't really going to go far in any scenario unless she ups her posting drastically. Even if we bus her D1, the mafia just lynch the wagon and when someone doesn't die on it, they automatically gain a lot of suspicion around them for staying alive. Curious to see why you think losing a prime bussing opportunity would lead to a better position
I just want to note that I just went back and deleted all my [ /quote]s which is wild. I'm this far down the post and I didn't learn from my past mistake that's concerning. it just happened! you just need to click enter and do less brother what's going on you good Cel?

assuming you meant kill instead of lynch here, that's in no way the likeliest way this turns out lol. in scum's mind we either had a 100% chance to have protection (if we're in setup 4) or a 2/3 chance (if we're in 2 or 3) so you can extremely easily kill one or two people on the des wagon and then stop killing them, with the justification of "well they prob want to dodge protection". That's taking the world to its logical conclusion, when in reality this kind of reasoning isn't what scum actually do anyway. But for the sake of argument that they were thinking along this logic, they would conclude that it's still beneficial to bus des early.

literally what prime bussing opportunity? the prime bussing opportunity is D1. the later in the game it gets the more a des vote feels like a necessity everyone's on board with, and therefore no towncred is accrued for anyone involved. if the aim of bussing des is towncred, D1 is the best day to do it.
Sure, develop this theory. Why does it look like a distancing attempt to you? Case me brother

Both of you paired on the Pulsar vote, which was one of the biggest opportunities to counterwagon flipped scum, on the same line of reasoning (eliminating AFKs is good for the game). Then, immediately after des flipped scum, you two both entered thread and took opposing viewpoints on my slot in order to try and seem like you weren't mindmelding D1.
.................................................................the 2 of us are scum for jumping on one of the biggest opportunities to counterwagon des, when the wagon was 2 people? a bigger opportunity to counterwagon des would have been anyone with 1 or more votes. because like, if we're both scum, then we would at least be voting with 1 or more town. what do you mean mate :eeveehide:

hell, for the sake of argument, I already scumread you in-thread which you're commenting on elsewhere. why would I not just vote for you? des did, you claimed genisu did (but I don't think he did I'm like 99% sure that happened after) but if you're right and des and genisu were both voting you then obviously scum!Celever would jump on that. it would require 0 manoeuvring because I was already scumreading you lol.

"mindmelding D1" is also a crazy exaggerated term for "voting for the same person" but like sure pop off king
