Thanks, that helps clear it up, I still disagree but at least I understand fully what I'm disagreeing with.
DS, you didn't answer my question. But while you're at it, why don't you tell me what we should have done if faust had claimed "not town aligned" or "third party aligned" or whatever you think the other option was please?
@DatSwan, seems like you missed this again.
Also, below is your original read on faust and what I'm questioning, not your read in general but your enthusiasm for his towniness. That's what's questionable to me and what makes me suspicious of you. And, you're right, I'm not new to the game, which is exactly why I'm pushing you so hard on this. We don't need to discuss it any further, thanks to uncle's explanation, but FoS on you. To answer your other question, I feel okay about faust, he's moving things along and asking good questions. I don't know that that makes him town but it doesn't make him our D1 lynch.
faust: Someone pointed out I could not possibly be right about my restriction thing with faust because of the set up. Obviously correct, oversight on my end. To further on that point though, really really really weird for faust. LL came in and asked the money question ("faust - are you town aligned). So faust has no backdoor for being some third faction and fake claiming or whatever at this point... so super hard town lean on him as of now. I know that is gonna come off as some weak ass reasoning to players that have not played with faust, but just go like read... any other game ever.. it will make sense.
Anyway, let's talk EFHW. I am somewhat irritated by the fact that she hasn't really got much scrutiny at all.
I agree her play is strange, and it has been years so maybe her meta has changed, but I feel like scum!EFHW would be trying harder? She never struck me as a "sit back and jump on wagons" sort of scum.
True. But if you don't publish, your funding will run out... and you will be lynched.
+1
Random other thought: Does silver's mistaking raerae/shraeye for newbs mean we can exclude silver/raerae, silver/shraeye as possible scum pairings?
Not sure I'm allowed to have an opinion on this but it does make sense. If you didn't know your scumpartners the first thing you would do would be to introduce yourself and your experience level.
@raerae, after ss's defence, do you still think your vote belongs on me? If so, why?
Nope, doesn't change anything, especially since I'm one of the vets on the wagon. Also, the whole "defense" is hedgey. If you're scum your partners would bus but they wouldn't want to be on the wagon because it won't lead to a lynch but if you're town they'll want to be on it. It's just weird, not as strong as you want it to be for me.
