Vote Count 3.2

jotheonah (2): WestCoastDidds, Robz888
WestCoastDidds (2): jotheonah, Awaclus

Not Voting (4): Cuzz, mcmcsalot, EFHW, shraeye

With 8 alive, it takes 5 to exile. Day 3 lasts until October 09, 2024, 02:10:00 pm. This is in about 29 hours and 20 minutes.
Honestly, one of these has got to be a scumwagon and the other a townwagon.

I'm feeling very confident that towncore Cuzz/EFHW/shraeye needs to figure this out. I think the right call is to vote: mcmc.  I think that whether its joth/Awaclus or Didds/Robz, mcmc is the third.

unvote
or, joth/didds?

If that's a coordinated 1v1 to set up the winner as "town"...I'm probably picking Awaclus as the third if that's the case. so vote: mcmc is terrible.

Shraeye can you explain what this means?

Dude you had 3 days to let shraeye answer this and decide if you liked his answer.
For sure he was going to like my answer.  It also answers your question/accusation; what has shraeye ever done off the cuff.  Made a theory, moved on that theory; immediately questioned that theory, unmoved.

Shraeye on the other hand is almost always posting a string of posts on his own, addressed to himself or to no one in particular, usually at night (US time) when few others are around. This let him give his takes in a vacuum without having to directly have much real back and forth with anyone else in the game, and it allowed him to carefully consider the precise structure of his cases and arguments before posting. Go back and try to find any instance of shraeye saying anything seemingly off the cuff or remotely casual. Even all the way up to his vote on me, where after a reread and a handful of posts he’s apparently 100% certain I’m scum just based on voting behavior, certain enough to gamble the whole game on, and he doesn’t even wait for any reaction from either of us to make his move.
This is not a great case; it's just how I play.  I take pauses and reflect; come back and give my reactions on what's going on.  It's also easy to disprove that I'm only talking in a vaccuum; Swowl and I had a super casual conversation on some day,

Here's a list of specific questions:
(This question was asked to YOU!)



, but I'd prefer joth, WCD or Swowl any day
Why those 3?


Here's a list of specific answers:

What do you feel about robz shraeye? Specifically how he fit in to yesterdays wagons
Robz looked like he was avoiding a didds exile at all costs until the very very end.  Does not look good.

Why? This looks like buddying!
Didds pivot to mcmc, mcmcs instrumental position in Didds exile. But sure, it's buddying. Great analysis.

I'm saying I believe that cuzz would have voted Didds. As stated, I'm not giving either cuzz nor Robz a ton of credit for that exile.  I'm not backing down from my thoughts, it's my honest take whether you like it or not.

You don’t get to continue to argue that my case is flawed when we know it was at least directionally correct and you no longer have incentive to pretend otherwise.

Sorry, I don't mean to offend, but you've made a case that I'm not town based on when I'm available to play. That's bound to raise hackles, and it did.

You’re not town and you know for a fact that I know for a fact that you’re not town. I don’t think you can objectively assess which aspects of your play others are or are not allowed to read into.

Oh I don’t think there was anything you should have done differently I genuinely think that might only be my like second endgame ever as town. I do not generally make it there as I think I am typically pushy enough with my reads I’m either miss exhiled or nk’d early.

Honestly the joth sub out was rough because I was really hoping to bounce idea of him as a player I was certain couldn’t be didds parter.

Shraeye just happened to buss didds at the right moment. Obviously in retrospect I feel like duh you were the much townier player I just didn’t give myself the time to come around. Didds also really tried to push a joth exhile and tried to get us to consolidate on day 2 when the possible wagons were you and joth. So it felt to me like why would didds stick their neck out to get an exhile through when none of her, robz, or shraeye were in any danger

I definitely based too much of my decision off how didds played rather than how you and shraeye played but I just hadn’t had a great read on either of you and felt like I sorta unlocked things once I picked up on didds being scum so that was where I put all my research

Everyone who plays the base game gets somewhat disappointed when they draw a dumb 'ol road tile. This is because roads are worth the least out of all four ways to score, and always feel like a lame excuse for a tile. The Inns and Cathedrals expansion helps this a lot by adding inns, which can double the value of roads.
- Nate Owens


Cuzz has been removed from the shelf! They were Carcassonne, Spiel des Jahres 2001, a Town Restless Spirit!

mcmcsalot has been endgamed!

The scum team of WestCoastDidds, shraeye and Robz888 wins!

I did have it pegged as shraeye in the end, yeah. Though it's always easier from the speccy, and I was suspecting Cuzz on and off throughout the game. So I can't promise I would have been any better than mcmc in the endgame. I might have convinced myself that claiming restless spirit after not playing to get exiled was scummy.

Hey man, don't feel bad. I have been exactly where you are a lot of times and I know just how you feel, but it's not your fault! You did great to get as far as you did. scum played a heck of a game, especially shraeye (read the scum QT and you'll see he pegged Galz as a PR from virtually nothing). That endgame thing though, it is so much pressure.

I sympathise with Cuzz wanting more time, but it's not letting anybody down to be obvTown in the final 3 and take your best shot.

That was definitely a factor. I despise breadcrumbing, I’ve never been a part of a scum team that didn’t discuss fake claims immediately and crumbs are the easiest thing to take in the world.

It’s another of those things that just because scum can do it doesn’t mean it is scummy to do it but I definitely thought “oh of course you breadcrumbed”.

Yea shraeye was really really smart to just drive by his vote and leave. In retrospect I needed more active back and forth, my isolated rereading just had me running in circles.
