Insomniac got spooked off of the wagon really quickly, and was in the classically scummy third position. He was happy to vote but really worried about an actual lynch going down. Either didn't want to lynch his scumbuddy, or worried about his position on a townie wagon? Suspicious but doesn't seem quite like scum Insomniac to me.
Eevee shows up in somewhat scummy 4th place, and makes the awful "enough pressure votes" comment. Eevee has defended this as simply bad town play, but still something has seemed off to me about him this game.
Here's what I want to know. Maybe somebody has done this. I think I'll do it later today out of curiosity. Why are these places on a wagon scummy? Is it linked to how many people are needed for a lynch? In past games, when town has been lynched where do scum tend to be on the wagon? In past games when bussing is involved, where do scum tend to be on the list?
Question for when I do this analysis, should I only count the wagons at a lynch, or should I be looking at any votecount? What classifies something as a "wagon" instead of being classified as "just a few votes"
Third and fourth vote are the scummiest for the following reason:
A votes X. Now, it is just a single vote.
B votes X. Now, it looks like this might take off.
Scum might vote X here to try and start a wagon going or alternatively
C votes X. Scum would vote here to try and push the wagon fast.
5+ it gets less "scummy", as people are than really analyzing X, and also might be aware that their main lynch might not be possible so are thinking of X is good enough.
The Cuzz/Arch case is interesting, although I'm more inclined to believe Cuzz's explanation than VG seems to be.
Also, I have since talked about more than chickens since then, although I won't fault you for missing the discussions, given your new arrival.
I renew my fos on Shraeye, given his posting pattern over a full day has been short one liners with votes and nothing else of substance. His Cuzz vote/unvote posts had six words that weren't part of the actual votes, total.
In fact, vote: Shraeye. Shraeye is always talkative and abrasive in games, and town while at it. He does long, winding analysis posts with dozens of quotes. All of a sudden he's quiet and reserved? Changing meta? Or change of role?
Not overly good vibe. And Frisk went down in scumminess for some reason.. Hmm..
But Grujah claimed there was scum on that wagon, and I think that's probably true, again regardless of Grujah's alignment. If he's scum, hard bussing D1 is now the go-to scum strategy right? Or, if Grujah is town, a growing wagon on a townie early D1 might be tempting to hop onto. Even if it doesn't result immediately in a lynch (which, again, it was never going to), it puts Grujah under more scrutiny and maybe then the suspicion builds.
I didn't claim this.
I will be kinda on lower activity till tuesday due to college work. I'll try to input as much as I can.
