I'm sorry MiX, I am going to keep trying to argue with Awaclus, because otherwise he's just going to be this constant source of confusion to me every time we play a game together.
Awaclus, I'm genuinely curious about what sort of analysis you consider to be pro-town. Because your whole defense of your own play seems to be: you voted for e to see how people would react, but to analyze those reactions would somehow give information that would be more useful to scum than to town. Which gives you cover for not explaining any further why that move was helpful because, by your own logic, to do so will only help scum.
But, here's the thing: aside from hidden information - our roles, any investigate results we might have gotten, etc. - what exactly is there that we don't want scum to know? Like, how does it help scum to know what townies think about you and e? I'm really, really not seeing it.
So just to give you the benefit of the doubt, let's look at the fall out of the oh-so-important e vote. (It's on page 19 if anyone wants to follow along.)
e is at 3 votes when Awaclus votes.
Didds votes e shortly thereafter, bringing that wagon to 5. It's not clear if Awaclus's vote had any impact on her decision to do this, but that's certainly some pressure on e.
Shortly thereafter the conversation shifts to me being scummy, there's a little bit of conversation on pages 20 and 21 where an e lynch is considered in a way it maybe wouldn't be being considered without Awaclus's vote but that's hard to say. Then e votes Robz and the Robz wagon starts.
I admit, this actually does make e look worse to me. I hadn't realized before that e had five votes on him already when he started that wagon. My initial thought of "scum e wouldn't push a wagon this hard day one" loses a little weight if he started the wagon when he was already one of the biggest lynch possibilities. But people start moving off of e pretty quickly after that, and he continues to push the Robz case.
I don't see how any of this is more helpful for scum to know than for town to know though. I'm happy to keep my vote on Awaclus until he starts making sense.
