he had a sort of a habit of snarking at/refuting that spaceguy summed here
whoops, that was supposed to be
this link/pledge, i guess? i'm not sure that this logic holds up:
My big problem with the pledge is that everyone should have better reads than faust because they have more information than faust. Every person knows the alignment of 2 people (themselves and faust), so their reads have a higher probability of being correct than faust's.
...since only 6 people know the alignment of 2 people, and a certain 3 people know the alignment of everybody. it's not about information, it's about, ceteris paribus and nothing particularly compelling against any certain person, we agree to sheep the person who cannot have any ulterior motives (esp. because now it is especially easy for scum to form a majority). faust, incidentally, seems to be a fortunate person for this position.
i'm not sure, though, and other people have thought this out further than i have and also experienced the endgame situation theorized here. at the very least, this shouldn't really be the focus of our attention until we are confident that there isn't more information to be gathered.
Going to bed now, but a serious, thought-provoking question before I do.
If you were scum, who would you have killed N1?
i'm so town that even if i were scum i wouldn't lynch anyone.
i mean, uh, probably ss. it's hard to say in hindsight, of course, but i and surely some other people (read: joseph's readlist, also
this one) had ss and faust in the "what do you know that i don't" category, and since scum knew they were innocent, that probably meant that they indeed knew something. that, and, you know, ss is good at this game and stuff. that said, it's weird that it happened right at the peak of suspicion for him (he just hammered mail-mi!) and, well, killing a mason seems to be a not-good idea. this leads me to an inkling that it is a bit of a personal lynch rather than an empirical one. who here has the most experience?
i haven't given any formalized reads yet. names accentuated in purple, which i think is allowed
kinda:
ww(still, didn't reply to the thing that i said!),
igu (seems like a clumsy persona for a committed scum, but why would he refuse to be replaced? are we seeing drunk!scum!igu or something),
rr (hasn't bitten in the strategy/analysis of the board like the rest of us fish and has otherwise not really said much that i can remember, which is especially odd considering this post)
merits investigation:lalight (has said a hell of a lot, at least),
joseph (has had
some unfortunate votes, don't like
his first vote in the context of my current one, below, but otherwise kinda whatever)
i'm okay with them rn: gkrieg (enduring attitude is 'get on it people!' and hasn't had really any bs. he did parrot the bad joseph vote. though, now that i think about it, it's sorta forgivable? faust did seem weird, and i really don't know how to read the mail-mi situation),
space (smells like they have the same approach to the game that i do at the moment which is a plus, for me at least. i appreciate their effort to hammer out a few people [i.e., me and ww thus far] rather than comment on game state),
j reggie (i was pretty fervently anti-him d1. don't really know what to think at the moment but i'm not really suspicious)
me: schadd (5 stars, would eat again)
faust: faust (the pledge thing would have probably maybe brought the actual mason out of the woodwork at this point. do other people care about what went on in the qt? i guess, is there any position ss took that he didn't post publicly?)
vote: roadrunner since i want him to be under the spotlight, he has maybe produced the least information combined with being kinda suspicious
at the time of this post, half of the rules post is a link to day 2.
