Etr is probably a fine vote since they will never do enough to really get a read on

I'd been happy, and I was happy still. For all to be accomplished,
for me to feel less lonely,
all that remained to hope
was that on the day of my execution
there should be a huge crowd of spectators and that they should
greet me with howls of execration.

I reread Eat the Rich and he looks Town to me, his reads track well with my own reactions. Unsurprisingly my top suspects are the bandwagon on him. With no cases or justifications.

What’s the case?

okay i'm feeling human again after the australia day long weekend. i'll pick up where i left off by explaining why i was poking you, mr. steak, in my semi drunken sarcasm.

Mr. Steak posted:

but yeah, the retribution ability wont illuminate anything about vote patterns, so anyone who tries to read into that is probably scum looking for a fake case.

the only ones who'd know about it, and hence the only ones whose behavior would change *at all* from knowing it, are the other scum. and the other scum had literally nothing to worry about. soo... i'd like to know what you're trying to imply, hambeet

a) normally it wouldn't illuminate much about voting patterns when 1 player has 1 vote. my point is that you have more than one, yet still managed to not have a vote on the flipped scum. i think that's a fair thing to point out and
b) to then try the 'anyone who talks about it is scummy' is pretty crap. you're trying to shut down conversations because you don't like the topic conversation. a super townie attitude to have i'm sure. so now i'm going to talk about it more.



the whole thing stuck out to me because when 2penny was -3 you unvote

Mr. Steak posted:

##unvote 2penny
##unvote leith
##vote cpig

and give this reasoning a few minutes later

Mr. Steak posted:

this deadline discourse is reeking to me of an aloof scumteam having fun while town picks between two town options (2penny and leith). the reason i think this is very few people are actually posting useful content outside of those 2. if scum were in danger of death, other scums would be at least making an attempt to generate fake content either for or against their bud. but what im seeing here is a town (in the general sense of "all players") who is fairly apathetic toward the lunch. on d1 that's normal, but if it was scum about to be lunched, we'd be seeing more investment in the lunch. ergo, 2penny and leith are town

which was an interesting justification considering leith never got higher than -3, as b-minus pointed out

b-minus1 posted:

Except leith has never been in any real danger of being lunched.

and it was even more interesting considering the last two things you had posted (content wise aside from extra vote fuckery)

Mr. Steak posted:

extravote1 2penny i agree that he has been scummy.

Mr. Steak posted:

oh shoot, my extravote1 was already on leith though, who i also find scummy, so instead i'll ##extravote2 leith

:thunk:


so after you unvoted leith and 2penny, you chucked a vote on etr. idk why you never say. but you do reaffirm you're not gonna vote 2penny

b-minus1 posted:

Vote penny friends


and only one person backs you on it lumpen (linked for post tidiness)


so where did your 3 votes end up at the end of the day?

With 16 alive, it's 9 votes to execute. The current deadline is January 25th, 2020 at 6 p.m. CST -- that's in about 0 minutes.

The current day's mod post count is: 7

hmm not 3 votes, only 2. a vote each on etr and cpig who were never in any real threat of being lynched. actually they were both at zero votes when you voted them. so idk what happened to your third vote, it looks like you didn't re-vote your third. hmmmm.

so yes, me commenting on the fact that you weren't on the vote of the scum that really did flip with a revenge power is relevant, especially considering you have 2 more chances than any other player to land a vote on a scum with your 3 votes. it just so happens though that you didn't. so i humorously pointed out that's a little bit convenient and i think your reaction to my prodding was very interesting.


i'm gonna catch up on the rest of the thread for now, but will probably circle back to this.

anyway, i find it weird that nobody got hardly any votes on them yesterday except 2penny. scum must have just cut their losses and gone for the equal exchange (even though its not equal at all and way more beneficial to town than scum)

maybe one of the scum had france as their target. :shrug:

ETR's vote is bad and has no justification. ETR has also refused to engage with me in any sort of meaningful way so it's whatever there

I think Steak's multi vote power got upgraded and now he can Watch whoever he votes for or something so that is why Steak is voting that way. I could be misunderstanding Steaks posts.

that's exactly what he's said to this point. i guess my concern here is that it gives him an excuse and could lead to us ignoring his voting habits.

so why the votes on sal & etr?

i can kinda see a sal case (answering others' questions day 1, cosying up to b- looks like buddying, odd opinion on bussing this game), but it's not super strong.

etr? three votes and not one of them says why. just based on day 1 still?

that hambeet effortpost is really good. my only counter is that none of my posts were made with any conviction on day 1 with the sole exception of the long one about deadline discourse. also im always suspicious of an easy lunch that encounters basically no resistance at all. im still puzzling over why scum apparently gave up on 2penny so early.

oh, and in response to "leith never got that many votes", i wasnt looking at vote numbers, just the town's attitude. and the attitude toward leith seemed to be that pretty much everyone would have voted him as a close 2nd to 2penny

Hal Incandenza
Feb 12, 2004

hambeet posted:

Because he is mal?

I don't like Sal for a few reasons

1. Likes 2 Penny's take on content game early on but later flips to having "suspicion" of 2P that doesn't have a lot of justification, then only votes him weakly at the end of the day

2. Seems to be tunneled on Lumpen, but why? Because of content game? Unclear why he has this hard read

3. Over the top defense and buddying of b- that he has declared will carry through the whole game.

These are some fairly hard opinions that are not justified by Sal's posting, I think town Sal is going to be a little more circumspect and would be prodding at his scum/town reads more and not just voting

You know, for someone who doesn't have a clue as to what Lumpen's alignment is, you do seem to be focused on them a lot.

This is after your first vote on Lumpen so you voted for them even when you admitted you had no case.

I did read all that, but I don't think OMGUS I don't like playing with this guy is a great reason to push someone for two days and I would think you'd have more but that's fine

This new statement about b- is much more rational than what you posted earlier that was "I won't vote for b- today or any day"

OMGUS usually means the shady practice of voting someone who is voting for you. Voting for someone you meta don’t like is usually referred to as a “policy vote”.

I hope this is an act because you’re Secret Alliance, because I like playing with you :(

My top 3 list is still binus, CPig, and Sal, would vote any of them.
