I like that bit Voodoo,

I do not like *that* bit, Bif.

This is a useless wifom experiment but I know Bif and Yami are pretty friendly so would Bif be more likely to shoot a friend as town or scum?

I think town but it’s hard to say.

IA’s vote being dropped on Bif feels a little late to the party but I don’t think it’s scummy.

I lean towards "scummy", but a large part of that is getting burned by it in TGP by pushing the other way.

It's not something consider to be a compelling reason to D1 execute though

Very strange reaction for sure. No direct comment about bifs decision to use the vig or about yami. This strikes me as someone that knows a townie is about to flip. I’m going to ##vote John cena btw I do think bif is town even though I didn’t like the vig

One more thing. Going into this game I was going to stick to my policy of not voting AA day 1 because I like to think I have a solid grasp of his town game and it was annoying to watch him get misdunked on day 1 in recent games. But I gotta admit his posts so far are pinging me. Especially that 180 he just did.

It would be stranger if JC hadn't made a joke about it, there were I think 3 games in a row where I ended up killing JC so it has become a running joke.

Exactly. Firing like this doesn't give a scum vig any of the stuff that they want. Me defending her is an outlier in town reactions, and one she likely wouldn't count on. So it was largely a waste of an ability.

Scum wouldn't do that, unless it was exceptionally funny, or revenge motivated.

Scum Bif with a vig would be way more likely to try and get one of the tangential benefits of vigging someone rather than an early hipshot.

I'm not sure about this post either but we are still eternal mason bros, Grandi.

far more valuable than pursuing bif today, is being able to talk about something concrete like bif's vig shot. and dig into people's reactions to it. in that sense, bif really helped town get some momentum to start scumhunting

b-minus1 posted:

For the record I don’t think bif is scum. However Grandicap is pinging me at the moment

Not that far apart. Just seems like posturing and if bee is scum I'd also consider bif to be scum.

My reasoning for voting bif initially was that it was bad as pointed out, and it's the type of egregious day 1 behavior that can stupidly get a pass.

Pivoting to bee because of those two posts.

He stands ready to call out anyone supporting the vig, and thinks it was a dumb move, but is ready to immediately call bif town.

I realized that these two opinions can exist together, it just feels played up or buzzword: "performative".

In any case that's what I felt.

Would vote steak for random vote. If bee was scum I'd almost feel certainly that bif was also scum.

This makes a good bit of sense to me. But on Bif, I would like other opinions on the presumably self-imposed in character posting restriction?

Bif, will you confirm it is self-imposed?

We've went all over the wifom over whether a random D1 vig is pro- or anti-town, even if a null tell, but I've also always thought that se;f-imposed post restrictions are also anti-town. They just seem like a convenient way to mask your play/meta/alignment / not actually play in a reasonable way.

Even if I only think I remember Squiggly doing it as town.
