I didn't actually know that TSM was a new player. Inferno, I could tell was, because he edited a post and refused to vote, because it would be "foolish". To be honest, it's hard for me to know exactly who is new and not, because I haven't played in over a year and a half. I know a handful of players, but otherwise I don't know what to expect from people or how they usually play.
As to why I stuck with my vote, its because there wasn't a better option at that point.
If that's why you
actually stuck to the vote, then why didn't you say that in your reasoning? Rather, you tried to give more evidence to why TSM was scum.
TSM was still overreacting to suspicion on him
But
here you found his panicking (e.g. his overreacting) an indication of new town. What made you change your mind?
More time had passed since my last post, and with came more discussion and more worthwhile lynch candidates. in the context in which it was made, my initial read on TSM made more sense, but as time went on, more valid concerns came up. TSM went quiet and other players made questionable decisions. The whole back and forth between Jesi and Robin really caught my attention. I feel like both of them are valid candidates for lynching.
The thing is, in the context in which it was made, people thought TSM was a good lynch. Then, later, once people had jumped off the lynch, you followed and jumped off too.
Jesi's posts have been filled with emotion and excuses. I feel like she's almost trying to play the victim? She seems desperate, but I feel like it came out of good intentions, trying to help out, but then things kind of spiraled out of control. On the other hand, Robin's posts have been few and far between. One of his first posts was saying that he wasn't going to contribute yet. Then later on he omgus'ed Jesi with little new evidence. He leaves for a while and comes back with this
This seems like he's just purposely being difficult. I understand that during Day 1, there isn't a whole lot of good evidence to go on, but posts like this don't really stimulate discussion, they just make you a target.
I feel like this post makes Robin more suspicious, until he backs up his words with actual evidence, he is the best lynch candidate
##VOTE: Robin Aisaga
This is decent scumhunting, nothing new, at least you're thinking. It might make me reconsider if it continues and improves, but right now you're my best lead.
I think this post explains well the case on Robin:
These are the points I have:
- not wanting to vote
- and not wanting to participate in Day
- voting (contradiction)
If that's all.... then this case is sooooo fishy. It's a generic case that could apply to anyone who does not particularly like Day 1, including Reinforce in this game. Robin's lynch is only useful for information, and I think that they're more likely going to flip town.
As for the Wailord case: I think that when scums want to jump on a wagon they indeed feel like justifying their vote by echoing, but townies can do that too. Same thing goes when scums try to hop off a dead wagon, only here, it is more common for scum, imo, than town to echo when they unvote. Not sure if that's the main point of your case, but it is not something I feel that is stronger than the points on Robin and Jesi.
Yeah, I'm not denying that townies and scum can both jump on wagons by echoing. Townies can do a lot of scumtells, hence why it's tricky. But I also don't think that Wailord's logic flows like a townie's should and it just doesn't sound genuine to me.
I don't think the Robin case is very strong at all, and Jesi is definitely scummy. The question is whether she's playing her scummy town meta, or if she's actually scum. We don't know her scum meta unfortunately, but I'm noticing similarities to her town meta. (Which indicates either town who hasn't improved or scum copying their old play pretty well).
I don't understand, which one is it?
Scummy
town.
Robin has been acting more and more sarcastic as the day has been progressing, and to be honest, I would probably be okay with a lynch of him if there was no better choice, but I do believe Jesi is a better lynch right now, with her backpedaling, contradictions, AtE and potential slips.
##UNVOTE:
##VOTE : PIKAMASTERJESI
Why are you lurking?
Do you both not think Jesi is just her normal scummy town?
I've decided that I'm now ready to jump back in, and I've been trying to write a post. That's why I'm lurking, Camo.
Why were you V/LA? To take a breather?
