Catching up, I've spent all my phone access today in DS9.
So, conflicting. On the other hand I feel like trying to feel it out and being careful with my votes given it's a new setup. On the other hand, no games never get anywhere unless people actually commit to voting for the people they find scummy, so eh. But, the first half of day 1 should run pretty close to how it normally would, except no "lock" situation will ever be reached which never was an issue in blitz in the first place.
I would like EVERYONE to comment on this post and how it reflects on Eevee.
I don't know what you are looking for here. It's how I feel about this new setup: I'm confused as how to best tackle it. I honestly hoped someone would start posting mad theory and I'd get to think about different strategies through posts of others. I'm bad at figuring stuff out on my own. Or in the words of mom salon:
This seems like innocent eevee trying to figure out the setup, and being posotive about it, I got me some towny feels goin on over here.
Additionally I would like everyone to weigh in on how Robz/Mcmc/Galz all reacted to the theory that gave town a guaranteed win.
Meh, I mean I don't think how people react to stuff like that has got anything to do with alignments really. Didn't glean anything from it. Fwiw I would have suggested "lets not do this, at least not before ashersky gets a chance to give us a green light. Seems like a boring way to end a possibly awesome game."
I remember way back in blitz whatever, Eevee wanted to play "Sheep the IC", and even though almost every single person in the game disagreed with him, he absolutely would not back down over why it was a good idea. He was, of course, town.
Town!Eevee comes into new setups looking for the optimal play. If he thinks he's found it, he'll pursue it relentlessly. He has complete conviction in his ideas, regardless of what others think.
Here I get more of a sense that he was testing the waters, trying to see where people stand on how to use their votes. This slightly hedgy "maybe this way... But then maybe this way..." Eevee doesn't read as the same Eevee that takes his convictions and runs with them.
So I get a slight - SLIGHT - scum vibe from it. Because honestly at the end of the day this could just as easily be Town!Eevee just being uncomfortable with a new setup. In the end, it's not worth a vote over, but it does make me more aware of him.
I disagree with Galzria A LOT here. First of all, I did back down some from my stance, I went from "I'm think we should do this!" to "well, all of you can't be scum so it seems I'm wrong. I'm looking forward to the end of the game so I can hear what people really really thought." I was surprised no one was even lying but you all actually thought the idea was THAT bad. I never quite understood why, although I did come around to thinking "meh, it's probably not good either". We are building up a sample size though, at least my idea would have guaranteed town >50% to win. .. not really, we'll never get enough games in to meaningfully analyze the winning probabilities of different factions. But, I digress!
I DO NOT think I'm the kind of guy who has complete conviction in my own ideas. On the contrary, as I explained above, I think I'm for the most part the kind of guy who does his best work through analyzing the work of others. I've pursued some town reads of mine relentlessly, but that's about the extent of relentlessness I've gone to in any of my 15 games, other than the IC thing which I think you mischaracterized. I don't know if you having a different view on my personality than I thought you would is really scummy, but everyone likes talking about themselves so I digress again. I guess it's slightly scummy, but I have the bias of always thinking "makes sense to me = town, doesn't make sense to me = scum" (which usually earns you a free town read), so I don't I'm wary. Seriously, do others think I'm the kind of guy who "takes his convictions and runs with them?" I thought I was always accused of being the exact opposite, too hedgy. And for what it's worth, I don't think being hedgy about "should we vote a lot or not in this new setup" is an alignment tell at all. I just typed out what I was mulling over in my head.
The only thing I gleam from robz an galz post is robz didn't suggest he stay alive, he suggested insom pick the person he trusted most. Seems like a really dumb scum slip but still get slight scum vibes because of that.
I think he just didn't think it through. Robz wouldn't be dumb enough to think no one would notice that, so he wouldn't have tried to force a bad plan like that through intentionally I don't think. I think it shows Robz was posting while distracted / not concentrating very hard, but I don't think that's an alignment tell in Robz's case.
I would like EVERYONE to comment on this post and how it reflects on Eevee.
It gives me a slightly scummy vibe, outside of Eevee's meta. It has the stink of IIoA.
But it could so very easily be town Eevee, I don't place much store.
I don't understand this post. Joth, can you explain how that was the scummy kind of IIoA?
Okay, that was everything. Going to sleeps now, waking up in seven hours. It's an international tournament week thing in Helsinki now, I'm not playing anything myself but all my friends are in town, so I'm don't know how much online time I'll be getting on any given day. For sure at the very minimum some posting when I wake up in 8 hours from this or so (then I'll also know more about my plans for the rest of the day, most plans should allow pretty stable mobile access at least), and this game will obviously be top priority for tomorrow. (Oh and I'll be around for like 30min-1h before falling asleep now, in case someone has follow up questions.) Side note, announcing your exact schedule like this is funny and weird. Feels like I do this in every Blitz game.
