Please do not compare Binus to Steak lol

Steak is actively anti-town at all times, Binus is noise until mid-game

i like steak, he cops a lot of crap.

I agree! I’m not sure why this is Amnis hill, but now I’m straight up going to laugh if you actually are scum, but I really think this is a fruitless tangent to go down. Also, science is cool but I’m a dunce at physics, so all I know a bride her from is pop culture. I’m gonna guess it was just jokephase though.

I’m assuming Toals vote is sarcasm? Given that they did just support that a night vig is a protown role.

you're not sure that the person who said their meta is going hard on one person day 1 then lurking, is going in on one person?


like, amni has telegraphed that he'd do this in responding to rarity's content survey game. i'm going to ponder whether this is just an affectation or true to meta.

I do think I could be on to something with binus bothering to call me scummy but not wanting to drop a vote, possibly because it woulda been the third vote.

Hal though, I try and defer reading until I have more actions to judge instead of just words cause I nearly always see him as scummy. His vote on me felt like he was just parking it somewhere for jokephase, but is he ever gonna move on to something serious? I'd feel better about reading him in hindsight of how a full day has gone.

I don’t pay attention to vote numbers this early on the game

Are you trying to bait me into voting you lol

It's obviously not a hard and fast rule, making it sound like a law of mafia is a joke, but it does vaguely sum up a genuine principle.

Once you start actually piling a few votes on people, it passes from looking like just jokephase to causing actual consequences now, of making someone look like a serious lunch candidate.

The third vote or so is a pretty good place for scum to start coming in, if they want a mislunch to take off. Cast the first vote on someone and you might take all the blame for sticking your neck out and making a bad case. Cast the second vote and you might look too me-too. But once someone else has already done the me-too, it's not quite as scary anymore. It's now an approved idea that's passed some scrutiny and has more than one oddball townie on board.

No, I don't think binus probably sat there literally counting the votes, but he bothered to pick out that post of mine and call it pretty scummy, in a way that had no joke attached that I could see. So why not vote, if it was serious?
