Here's my QT (in reverse order, obviously) in case anyone wants to see it:

By saying that I'll certainly vote for Ampharos, I'm trying to bait scum!Ampharos into killing me and scum!WW into keeping me alive. I don't know if it's going to work, but it's more data and I think we might need any extra data we can possibly have tomorrow. Depending on how things play out, I might or might not actually want to vote for Ampharos tomorrow.

Man, both of them (silver and Amp) are so scummy. But they can't all be the last scum ever.

Also it's nice that he stopped tunneling me, but I think I have to give him scum points for that as well.

More scum points for Amp for trying to read way too much into silver talking about confirming his "role". Silver is scummy for legit reasons, but trying to paint an even scummier picture of him is pretty bad.

Scum points to Ampharos for not following the game.

I don't remember if there's a reason to find WW particularly scummy or towny.

I conducted an experiment. I went on the forums, opened a thread, started a timer, read the newest post (in such a way that I actually understood what it was saying too), opened this personal QT, clicked on Print and selected all messages (which was unnecessary because this QT right now is short enough that you can see all the posts on a single page, but the point was to simulate having to open a separate page to show all the posts), copied its contents to my clipboard, opened Notepad because I didn't accidentally want to post this on the forum, pasted it into the Notepad, skimmed over the text to see that everything was there the way it was supposed to be, and stopped the timer at 33 seconds. Now, if you actually have to delete mod interactions and whatnot, it's obviously going to take a little bit longer, but no way I'm giving town cred for anything that takes longer than a few minutes to post.

As for my thoughts at this very moment, I think that silver or Ampharos is certainly very likely to be the last scum. They both posted their QTs after a significant delay even though they were online the entire time, and I think they really did have QTs of some kind at hand, but they super could have been edited. This reminds me of visual novels with multiple different routes — when you read a scene for the first time, it makes perfect sense in the context of that route, but that exact same scene might appear again on a different route and even though the context for that scene is now wildly different, it still makes perfect sense in the new context as well, and it oftentimes (especially back when I was just starting out) really surprises and amazes me how much they can actually just reuse the exact same scenes in different routes. The same thing applies here — 15 minutes is probably enough to turn a general fake QT into a VT QT. It's also a pretty likely hypothesis that scum has such general fake QTs that they're planning to turn into the appropriate PR or VT ones on the fly when necessary; maybe they overestimated how long it would take or maybe they thought that getting it done in 15 minutes for a VT QT (probably a little more for a PR QT) is still fast enough to get you town cred, and they probably really wouldn't want to manage multiple different QTs.

So, I think that does it for old post explanations.

http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.ph...msg569456#msg569456Here, I was thinking that RR unvoted with the purpose of trying to prevent his partner's lynch, and I was confident enough in my scum read on RR to hammer EgorK for that, since RR didn't seem to be a viable lynch that day. Interestingly, it ended up being the correct play for entirely wrong reasons.

http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.ph...msg567661#msg567661And yes, that point was actually a pretty good one. For me, it was not a reason to vote for RR though, it was simply a reason to not give RR enough town cred for being on the lynch to make up for the scum cred he got from refusing to share the QT.

As for the case against RR, it stemmed entirely from his refusal to share his QT, even though he probably posted in it. If he had managed to actually post the QT in a reasonably short amount of time after it was requested, I would have changed to silverspawn immediately. Actually, if he had managed to post anything at all to successfully defend himself, I would have changed to silverspawn because earlier today I was posting from a bus and focusing on a bunch of different things at the same time so I didn't remember that the QT thing was the reason why I had decided that RR was confirmed scum (that's a convenient thing about not sharing your reasons; you can just abstract them away because they don't matter).
The reason for finding him confirmed scum originally was that there was no town motivation for refusing to do the obviously pro-town thing, therefore RR had to be scum. Turns out he wasn't. I still can't figure out what the town motivation could possibly have been.

Firstly, I'm obviously town given that I haven't quit this game since the rules clarification, and anyone who approaches the question rationally should arrive to the same conclusion, given my posts in other threads discussing the QT issue. I have a tendency to assume that people play rationally, or rather, I think that the assumption that people play rationally is the very essence of all multiplayer game strategy, be it Mafia, Dominion, Hanabi or Cards Against Humanity. Given that and my personal dislike for winning more/Still Had All Deez, I saw no need for any extra town cred, but as it turns out, some people will apparently just have to go to however extreme extents it takes to refuse to be rational under any and all circumstances, and now that RR also flipped town, the best lead we have is the case against silverspawn and while it's a pretty good case, I'm nowhere near confident enough to count on him being scum and if he's not, I don't want to take any chances of getting mislynched no matter how much those chances are supposed to be 0%.

For now, I think the major things I have to explain are
1) Why didn't I write a QT until now
and
2) Why did I press the case against RR so hard
In addition, I will go over my posts after that and see if there's anything that comes to mind.

Meh, I guess I should start writing a QT. Be it known that while I am kind of posting my actual thoughts here to the extent that I think it's likely to turn out to be more useful than detrimental, I still have to force myself to do so, since I usually just remember everything and so this QT doesn't serve any practical purpose to actually help me play better or anything, it's purely for the town cred. In other words, the target audience of my QT is not myself, but anyone who might still be alive when/if I might have to share it, and therefore, it's going to be more about explaining my reasons and thought processes to other people.
