I agree but idk who we shoot to have the lowest chance of mislynching because so much of this game is an awkward middle ground between townlean and scumlean. Like, my town core is me, you, Tommy and shub and SB on the fringe rn but I would be happy voting anyone else about equally.
I mean agreed but how much information we get is still relevant. If tbz gets subbed tonight it’s fine not voting him but Nuxl hasn’t cnd’d it
Im pretty sure I voted Shub already
Vote shubaka17

sorry D2's been really shit from me, my mind's all over the place and i can't really read anyone well atm
initially thought bgb is a better vote from a selfish PoV even if i townread him more than shub because it would allow me to get a better idea of where everyone fits in this game - right now it's a lot of 'well this person is scummy but only if this person flips town, etc etc'. i understand how risky that is tho if a potential LYLO is created from it so now i'm not so sure.
even though i think i've had a bad D2 i think celever and duskfall have had a worse one - don't buy into celever's bgb vote much and i think his removal of me from his townreads reeks (in fact the whole potential flip to me reeks, but i'll address people's concerns anyway after this post)
duskfall has managed to shift the blame off of him very well and is now going under the radar. i don't like how he's been let off the hook so easily by everyone.
i'm finding this game incredibly difficult and confusing tbh

That Shub "town core" looks BS, all the other |town core reads/ No flip information| reads seem concrete and genuine. That just pretty strange of you. But I reckon that you haven't explained it yet. Let's hear it
Who do you you would buy into me voting? I already tried Caff to no support and have supported tbz as a contingency for a while (which you also called out as scummy iirc) so I think you're trying to fit my posts into a scummy glove instead of letting the reads come naturally.
SB made good points on you, what can I say. I personally read it as baffled town more than scummy progression, but it's scummy enough to remove you from the town core. I'm still not voting you today because I think it's better to free pass the biggest contributors for a day and focus on the harder to read ones / people with a lower opportunity cost to losing.
I explained it yesterday in my ISO, actually. That's meant to be phrased as Shub / SB are both on the fringe and my town core is really just me, Clarinet and Tommy fwiw.
You think Clarinet sreading you is less scummy than SB?
who do you think you **
clarinet comes across as very pure
SB's reasoning was v flawed imo (i know that's coming from my perspective but i mean, i'll get onto why it was flawed)
Alright if you say so. the last progression I remember was Shub being in your "focus" pool which I translated to Lynch/scum pool. Don't think Much happen and now Shub is in your town core.
This is a valid point and at the time I was a little unsure about putting Shub in the pool but I did include them.

They're one of the main ones in a really awkward middleground between townlean and scumlean and I keep flipping back and forth on it. My 3 top targets haven't changed between now and them Shub is just an awkward null.
Honestly what changed is Eagle left town core and made room for Shub. Filling a town core (even a D2-grade one) is harder than it should be this game.
FWIW I think it was good that I was away for most of today because it stopped me leading discussion as much as I had been and there are probably good insights to be gleaned from it that I haven't analysed deeply enough to verbalise yet but they're changing a lot of my reads instinctively.
If you look at their post directly after though:
votes bluegummybear to join the counterwagon against them, while also stating that former is their second option they'd like voted off. if they're indifferent to getting voted off as they say they are, why put the two counterwagons as their most preferred members to vote off?
the fact that you didn't see this bugs me
When's deadline
2 hours I think
Don't kill eagle please
