im not saying that's infeasible. just wondering.

i see grandi as someone who will tunnel on someone for doing something "objectively anti-town" with little hesitation. so if his scumbud did what solus did without clearing it w the team first, i can see grandi intentionally tunneling on solus to adhere to his self-observed town play. so it does make sense to me on a player-meta level.

my only holdup is that grandi hasn't really been tunneling solus for the vig. he's on solus for what seems like more understated reasons...? i mean, i dont really understand his case on solus, but i think scum would not stray too far from the easy vig case. thats just wifom tho (ugh)

Things are beginning to get circular on this point in the thread so I’m gonna drop my ##vote Solus

honestly I think it’s too high a liability to town to allow him to live, while there are benefits to his execution especially on Day 1 with limited information.


The method they are using (RNG) is anti-town at worst null at best, and roles not being indicative of alignment muddies the water even more.

So:

Hip shot=null
If RNG = null leaning scum
Or
If Lying about RNG = scummy

If scum:

Absolute town death D2-3

If town rough 9-11/14 chance town death because of RNG


If he’s lunched and flips town:

We lose a one shot random vig with low impact to overall strategy as an Armorer is possibly present and there is a power role heavy game, the at low connection and concerns over their positive leaning take on Solus is cleared up, and we can put the gambit business to bed with Grandi.

If he’s lunched and flips scum:

They lose a free kill, the arguments and scrutiny of At low and Grandi becomes highlighted, and interactions with nearly every poster can be analyzed as each person has commented on this issue in some fashion, which can’t be said for any other lunch candidate.

In the absence of any big upheavals, I’m happy with my vote.

I don't like any of this post (except for the vote, but the reasoning is hella spurious).
First off there is no reasonable assumption that Solus will do his next shot as a hip shot. The fact that it is public and has gotten him some push back for it makes me think it is a very low likelyhood to do so. Especially after we have a flip and a kill, taking a random shot is so much worse d2 and on than it is d1. But SNG spends all of that time going through the math which looks like content, but really isn't.
Second he says that it looks like town is going in circles, he says this not having posted since Friday. It's a weekend, I get it, but you can't complain about circular content when you aren't here to provide content.
Thirdly, he goes into how informational the kill will be based on how it will paint me and AT-LOW. Not how scummy he is...
The conclusion is SNG doesn't care if Solus is town or scum. He wants to kill him because he is a liability, and how it will look for AT-LOW and me. Not because he is scummy.

I still think Solus is scum, but this SNG post is way scummier.

Solus is the laziest vote going sorry, why would we throw away the ability to effectively lunch two scummy players in one day? If solus doesn’t play along tomorrow then I’m all for lunching them but right now it’s lazy and scummy as hell to jump on this low hanging fruit with this poor reasoning

Spurious eh? Let’s take a look and Let’s break it down then.

In what way he he unlikely to do RNG again? It seems to me they took the backlash in stride.

It’s no more likely than not, but THE VERY FACT he did it once means it’s something he’s comfortable doing.

And that is if he indeed is town. That’s still a liability and an outright threat if not.

And math IS content. It’s logically staking a position based on probability and risk, which is a core part of this game.

I haven’t posted since Friday because nothing new has popped up. The arguments are ALL in reference in some way to Solus. And I gave my position on that twice already on Friday itself.



Sandwolf posted:

Since I can’t exactly make a logical point of “my gut read is scum” yes I stated that at this point Solus is a liability wether town or scum in order to be perfectly impartial and true to probability. I think he leans scummy as a matter of gut reaction to his actions that haven’t been allieviates by others points or positions. AND it just so happens they are “null at best scum at worst, “ which is a fine vote standard for D1. But I will absolutely vote for what is in towns best interest based on the information I’m given and I’m not sure what Grandi and Merk are using as a valid reason to vote me over the candidates already put forth.

i empathize with thinking the solus vote is boring, but strongly disagree with your logic. a scum vig will always have the option to kill town. for one thing, the chances that the person town directs him to shoot is town will be high anyway. and if it's scum, he'd easily be able to wiggle his way into shooting a different person. because blindly following the advice of thread (which has scum in it) isn't townie behavior either. there is nothing in solus's behavior tomorrow or the next day that will elucidate his alignment. but it will probably result in a dead town.

im not advocating we lunch solus. im just saying you're wrong.
