This game is strange, because there are the two small teams, I feel like the patterns we are looking for are different. I'm really not interested in the standard "A said something weird so they're scum". ADK and scola both seem to be on the line for fake scumhunting, well nobody's incentivized to do that, so it's hardly a scumtepl here. Neither exile feels wrong or awesome though.
I feel like our best bet is to pivot (PIVOT!!) to a totally different exile. Rather than looking for who's defending who (which is gonna be so much more fruitful in standard 3-scum setup), we should look for who's playing it safest.
Off the top of my head that's Galz, e, mail-mi.
Vote: Galz
I know some of that is not-aroundedness. But playing it safe isn't just a synonym for low post count. Once I'm at a compy imma check my instincts
Scola isn’t on the line for fake scum hunting it’s more specifically voting with out a strong reason, explaining the vote later when pressed with an explaination that doesn’t hold up logically with what happened at the time. (Check my prior post about the setup discussion and mail-mi, ADK, myself, joth and robz reactions with scola picking robz our of that). He’s is also being accused of acting like newbie overly sheepish, overly qualifying scum, many of his posts have had unnecessary jokey tone or greetings and he has bent quietly to the votes and cases against him.
I get that scum has more insentive to truly scumhunt and so “poor reasoning” and fake scum hunting” are less than ideal cases in this setup but they are much better than a total lurker exile which is essentially what a galz vote is for.
And yet this is your first game with me. That jokey tome or greeting is very normal for me D1. Look at any of my past, ended games.
my vote did have a reason. Not strong, because, well, D1. I don't agree with my explanation not holding up with any logic, though I think people wondering why I picked Robz over the other doctor reveal early suggesters is sensible. But I also din't think it was illogical.
I'm not sure what you mean by overly sheepish and overly qualifying scum. I also think it's interesting that I could in theory be all these scum newbie things, but there's no allowance there for just general town newbie. (I have only played a handful of games on here, two of which I was gone by D2).
I don't agree with the ADK wagon (though of course pondered voting that way for self preservation). And I am worried about starting a new wagon, because I agree we don't want to wait until last minute to consolidate. So I haven't put a vote in.
But I've been told new wagons are not antitown (do you agree), so if that's the case, Ill throw a vote in, after all:
vote: mcmcsalotI do agree with you that voting a lurker isn't very practical right now.
