Looking at these wagons, one looks very scummy, and the ither one looks reasonable

Completely unbiased opinion, right?

I was wondering how Joseph might have developed such nuanced reads already.. oh right.

[raerae]

faust, raerae, sell me on this ADK wagon. I'd like to get off Didds.

Why lean into ADK instead of one of the others?

Yeah, stay off ADK.

[jotheonah]

ADK has like three posts all game. Here they are, just to make everyone's ISOs a little easier:

I don't see any reason to think that prs are tied to specific cards but more importantly people should stop talking about it

vote: Joseph for forgetting to do his SK joke

vote: shraeye

These posts are part of an extended running gag wherein faust and shraeye treat explaining a joke as enhancing its humor value when in fact the generally-accepted wisdom is the opposite.

And a way better alternative to when they fight! The fighting makes me nervous. Which I think is really interesting because I was a debater and then a debate coach for years and years. So thumbs up on shraust (or fauseye?) harmony!

This game could use less harmony if you ask me. Let's get some wagons going

Unexplained or looking for people to question the reason so you can explain afterwards?

Unexplained for now... though I figured it would not be hard to guess my reasons.

That you're scum and trying to push a mislynch?

So that's ADK's unabridged ISO. I can't really fault him for the level of content; it's early, my ISO is probably similarly brief rn.

The main things he's done are oppose flavor talk, which is an easy street path to town points but is also, IIRC, consistent with his day 1 town meta (although please lmk if I'm wrong on that), and try to get more voting going, which has transparent utility for scum, but also for town.

I guess this is an ok place to go for an early D1 vote, but nothing there amounts to an especially strong case.

vote: ADK

Because I'm townreading raerae and faust and I'm not interested in lynching Joseph or Didds rn.

[jotheonah]

although actually if people want to try to sell me on Joseph, I'm all ears.

[MiX]

Pffffft that analysis is hilarious! I can't stress how much I'm laughing right now because of that!

Can joth do that as town with a straight face??

Vote: joth

[LaLight]

I actually feel like vote: joth right now as well

Just so we're clear, last game I became an IC but was so useless with ny reads

[WestCoastDidds]

The Joth votes are not awesome.
The WCD votes are not awesome.
The Raptor votes are interesting because where is Raptor? Or Galzy?
The ADK votes at least have something to them.
The Joseph votes are okay, too

LaLi following MiX is super interesting to me....

@ Space: no I didn't remember that you explained what PPE means but...

@ Mix: thanks for the link, it's very useful!

Also, do people have any confidence in the votes they're casting? Or are they just literally voting at random?

Technical point: what happens if we don't reach a majority by the end of Day 1?

[shraeye]

Also, do people have any confidence in the votes they're casting?

Yes, but also mostly no.

[faust]

Also, do people have any confidence in the votes they're casting? Or are they just literally voting at random?

Generally speaking, there at this point votes are mostly "the average player has a 30.8% chance of being scum, I'm voting for a player that I think has a 35% chance of being scum". I wouldn't call that confidence, but it's not random either.

There's also voting to specifically get reactions from the person you're voting for (or others) even if you don't necessarily think they're scum.

Technical point: what happens if we don't reach a majority by the end of Day 1?

There will be no lynch.

90% random for me still. The goal is to make it less and less random as the day progresses, but I must admit, at least for me, day 1 is very tough.

Fwiw, we have 6 days left. The deadline is 28th. I believe we have some people still MIA, at least Galzria hasn't posted yet.

@ Maxford Are you keeping up with the game? Is this (the game) intimidating to you?

(I think you're doing fine, fwiw!)

[jotheonah]

Pffffft that analysis is hilarious! I can't stress how much I'm laughing right now because of that!

Can joth do that as town with a straight face??

Vote: joth

Well I guess it's my turn to not be in on the joke now? There was not a lot to analyze but I was doing it with sincerity.

I can only speak for myself. I do not.

That's not analysis, that's just looking at posts, reading what they say and then a completely irrelevant vote. It's almost too scummy to be scum, but I thought it was hilarious so I think you would do it as scum.

Your right. The detailed analysis of ADK's play that you offered up was much superior. Makes mine look like a joke.

*you're

[SpaceAnemone]

Mine was more of a "hello" to Didds. I'm confident that she's probably no more likely to be scum than average :-)

Let's switch to Vote: Raptor since there's nothing much going on there. (And also I don't want to be so predictable as to vote Joseph without more provocation).

(I think you're doing fine, fwiw!)

Thanks! I suppose I'm keeping up, trying to figure out that the norms are.

I'm a bit surprised that people are casting votes so quickly in the game: I would have thought that in the absence of strong information, lynching would be favorable to scum people because
1) they have information from day 1 (right?),
2) if we're mistaken and end up lynching a town person (which in the absence of strong evidence is more likely to happen than the reverse), they have one less person to kill.

Of course, there might be value in getting people to talk and casting vote is a good way to start this, so maybe it's a good idea after all.

If there's something I'm failing to see here?

I voted for ADK because I trust faust and raerae (to a degree) and because he's a better lynch right now than Didds (where I was before). It's day 1, what do you want?
