vote: Maxford
We may be in MyLo already. 3 scum and 5 town left.
Minor town points for pointing this out.
Day 3 Final Vote Count
Joth (6): Raerae, Joseph, SpaceAnemone, LaLight, Eevee, faust
Eevee(2): Galzria, Joth
Not Voting (2): Raptor, Maxford
With 10 alive, it took 6 to lynch.
Flip coming shortly. I just woke up.
I’m not scum, and while it is ENTIRELY possible scum all piled on to Joth (horrible, awful lynch and you should all feel bad), I’m willing to gamble that wasn’t the case.
Faust, while maybe correct that I made all the points he had made already, and maybe correct that it was set up to be him/Joth, absolutely had no reason to hammer when he did, before everybody could check in and respond. He absolutely should’ve re-engaged, as I made it clear he wasn’t the only player I was suspicious of. If Faust is town, he absolutely misplayed.
But I don’t think he’s our best chance to find scum now.
So this is a cute little defense of faust (admittedly, I asked for it) but you got anything to back up that Maxford vote?
Oooh, somebody isn’t pleased I didn’t conform to the obvious choice.
I already went through it yesterday. Maxford was my second choice behind Faust at EOD based both off of MiX’s interactions towards him, and his VCA positions. The secondary argument of:
"It's very unlikely that all scum players were on joth, so at least one scum player was not. Joth is dead, Raptor is dead, I am town so Maxford must be scum".
Is just that, secondary. Or rather, additional.
Sorry I don't remember every detail from the book you wrote yesterday, thanks for the recap. So why is he now your primary suspect?
It was close yesterday between the two. If I was completely honest with myself yesterday, I think the interactions between MiX->Maxford were more scummy than the interactions between Mix->Faust. But faust is a known quantity to me... that is, I think I was biased to give my read on Maxford more leeway because he’s new and I know nothing about him, so I can’t quantify actions as easily. Faust, well, honestly, contrary to popular opinion that always wants/thinks him to be town, I’m *always* fighting myself to not label him Cpt. Scummy McScummyton at every turn. It’s a bias I have, and I’m aware of it, and I try to correct for it. But when game situations present themselves that offer a legitimate scum!faust narrative, I naturally gravitate towards him.
This shouldn’t be taken as a defense of Faust. By no means do I now suddenly think him to be town. But I DO think it’s more likely than Macford being town. Aside from finding MiX’s posts to Maxford as reading like they were coaching, I expressed and stand by my doubts that all scum were voting in VC 1.1, I find his position at vote #7 (L-1) on Shraeye scummy, and I don’t believe, as awful as the Joth lynch was, that it was populated with the ENTIRETY of the scum team.
This is the closest I’ll come to a “In defense of Faust” point:
If Faust is scum, he lynched Joth when he did because he was scared people would log in and respond to my post by voting him instead. This means that scum!faust believed that the people voting Joth already, or those that had expressed intent to hammer, would find my post more compelling than anything he had posted in Joth’s defense already. As he himself notes, he had already made many of the points I already made. And yet as you yourself note Raerae, you’re not intimately familiar with the details of the “book” that I wrote. So what fear did scum!faust *really* have here? Raptor (or Maxford, but I posit that’s he’s scum that didn’t want to load the wagon) was extremely likely to come in and hammer anyway.
Whereas if Faust is town it’s *extremely* bad for him to get lynched over Joth, as that results in his & Raptor’s (NK) death, which leaves Joth alive today with all the same people that were voting Joth yesterday still alive: Raerae, Joseph, Space, LaLight, Eevee - enough to carry the lunch against someone he read as Town.
