It was plurality, the vote happened at t-1. It was tied before he moved. He probably would have been executed anyway, depending on CPigs tiebreakers.

I’ll also say the last few times I’ve played as scum the two vote leaders on day 1 were also scum (sand one of those was me, you and merk). If I think Cena is scum it makes me much more likely to believe SiV is also scum and he had a no win choice. On the other hand Cena could also be town and the OA push was helmed by some scum to save SiV over OA.

Or it’s all just conjecture and wrong.

Bottom line is Cena objectively hammered scum. Doesn’t make him town but he has so little to go on otherwise I have to factor it in.

In what dimension would you be more willing to vote SiV over Cena? The rush left SiV to vote OA and nabbed scum?

I agree, I think the case on SiV yesterday was decent but hard to see two scum as the only options in plurality

Ha, well that’s clearly the opposite of what I just said. I think that’s a more reasonable stance in a majority game where the scum can also hope for a NL, I just think in plurality scum would have found ANYONE to try and move the vote to rather than get stuck in a no win situation.

I suppose in a world where Cena thought a tie would result in a NL his move would make sense if Obama/SiV/Cena were the scumteam

SiV and Grand were leading the charge at a whopping 2 votes at one point hours before the deadline. There was a lot of apathy or people who didn’t realize the deadline was approaching (or working etc).

Sand had a decent case. OA made a horrible post. It happened in like 30 minutes. I would call anything about d1 calculated.

I have no idea on what the normal tiebreaker rules are for plurality anymore.

When I ran plurality games 10 years ago I used to break ties bu whoever would have been executed before the tie is still executed in which case Cena swapping absolutely swung it from SiV to OA.

Might be wrong. I thought someone earlier said Cena was a hammer early in Day 2 when I asked about it because I was unclear so I’ve been assuming that is correct.

Anyway at this point I’m fine voting Cena but it’s basically a lurker vote (which I’m completely good with).

That’s fair, I wasn’t around so I’m just looking at votes out of context. I still see Cena jumping to SiV to tie it right before the end and then back to OA, just seems like weird play for scum since it does nothing to help their scumbro

I still don’t like Sandwolf a lot today, and I think his Cena push is kind of forced, even his post where he quotes voodoo and votes Cena seems off to me

I'm not sure I understand. If I'm scum, about to get lunched, then I can't "forget" to claim, because I'm not actually a town PR.

I got the same rolefishy vibe RF did, to be honest -- it read to me that you thought it was a soft claim, and wanted me to either full-on claim or state categorically that I was vanilla.

Sand you didn't answer this btw, but then I didn't exactly phrase it as a question. Can you elaborate?

It just felt like if you were town about to be lunched you’d claim, the post you made felt like you had a claim to make but was purposefully not making it (like needing to verify whatever your fakeclaim would be, trying to stall until deadline). I interpreted that purposefully not claiming as an attempt at stalling or hoping you wouldn’t have to claim.

I don’t know what kind of silver you’re looking for in this mine, SiV, you keep coming back to me and I don’t know why. Even if it was a rolefish, does that make me scum? Do scum try and rolefish on the person that, at that point, looks like they’re going down?

To better elaborate:

I'm sus on Sand, mainly because he pushed hard against the OA swap, also for what felt like role fishing. But I'm undercutting that because A sand and I always think the other person is scum, literally every effing game, and B, some of what he did around EoD feels not quite like how scum would act, given OA's alignment.

I'm sus on Hal for being around but not participating much in the back and forth fray, other than a couple of lukewarm posts.

I'm sus on Cena for the back and forth at the end of d1, but weighing against that is that he ultimately went me over OA, and I have the advantage over you guys, in that I know I'm town.

I mentioned RWC but I was trying to logic out what his thinking is. I don't think he's scum.

It was teetering between me and OA at that time (I think?) so my reasoning when I looked back over it later was basically, in the scenario where you ARE scum, you'd want to nail down if that was a soft claim or not, because if it's going to be OA instead of me, at least you might get a town PR outed in exchange for losing your scumbro.

Esp if me saying that actually got momentum away from me, which it seemed to.

I get squirrelly around role fishing, probably because when I'm scum I am way focused on trying to piece together town PRs to kill.

That’s dumb because it should instead read like: “look who is causing the absolute last minute plurality leader change”

Basically it's this chunk that makes me think it's not Sand. If OA had flipped town, I could see either town-Sand noting for posterity that Cena had swerved or scum-Sand wanting credit for calling OA as town ... But I feel like the tone is wrong for if this was scum Sand fighting to keep scum OA alive.

Basically I feel like I can point to like a few different things that feel like on paper they should be "see? Yup, he's scum" but my gut is leaning away from it because of more intangible things like your phrasing at EoD.

So I've been asking you questions to try to get a better sense of which way is which, but I just keep confusing myself.

It's possible he logged off or got distracted.
