Rereading silverspawn:
Up until the WW-debacle, I would say he looks towny to me - I agree with pretty much everything he's said - but then again from my perspective the stance he took on mcmc v eevee is what a reasonable guy would do -> what silverspawn would want to do as scum. Like, to me it makes sense to whiteknight me, because I don't see merit in mcmc's case. YMMV here of course.
Then there is the asking of reasons from people who are voting for me, which, again, I think is good posting. As noted earlier, I didn't like that silver seemed more interested in putting out the towny looking question than he did about analyzing and scrutinizing the answers (remember, he already has a place for his vote in mcmc).
Next up is shifting his vote around a little (Calamitas although that was instantly moved, J Reggie, Gkrieg, back to J Reggie) I can't make anything of it for either direction with no explanations given (and this is really just a playstyle difference I think, I'm a cautious voter, probably too much so).
then there is a vote on teamlyle with a little unsure "i think this is good", which again I think is the scum position - its an alibi for tomorrow.
next up is theorizing about the restless spirit. i really appreciate silver putting actual numbers to his ideas to make them easier to grasp. awarding good human points, if not town points.
Now #495 I don't like so much (it's the theory post about how the games would go if we random lynch) - the whole idea of the game is that scum tries to game it better than random for them, and we try to catch them in the act. I appreciate the effort, but I think it's missing the fundamental idea of the game, which is the interactions between people, and scum having to balance getting caught and working against their own win condition. I also disagree a lot about the value of lynching scum day 1 vs day 2 - the first scum lynch REALLY makes the subsequent lynches SO much easier. I think "when day was the first scum killed" might be one of the best indicators of which side is going to win the game. Has scum ever won a game after losing a member day 1?
-Cites pacovf as his second strongest town read (I think that's fine, pacovf has been reasonable. but again, makes it a pretty safe position - no one is really pushing for pacofv, are they?)
Next, he says he has no scumreads, and that he'd be fine lynching me for the information - the same thing that i've been talking about in regards to teamlyle applies here as well - there is a built in alibi for silver when I flip town tomorrow, and better yet, he can use the "information" whatever way he likes, like spinning on some other town player for tomorrow's target. Also, silver was very clear about his feelings on mcmc's case (even voted for mcmc for it), which makes me even more strongly like this. Like, I was under quite heavy fire, silver said "hey this case sucks dont vote for eevee", and now he is ok lynching me "for information?"
I just realized that votes look way more threatening if they are all all caps. I think we should introduce a rule that they count double.
