VOTE: ZZZX

Do you think ZZZX's post is scummy despite the self-vote?

The self-vote makes that post unsortable imo

To me when a player self-votes it's usually Scum doing this. Town has no valid reason for self-voting. Scum does.

Is it common for someone to just be almost entirely negative throughout the entire game?

Psyche lol, but ig the new page made it difficult to know I was making a quip at what he last said

[Psyche]

i guess im in a bad mood. it feels like a game of tag where no one's in the mood to run. suppose if i want to have fun my best bet is to match the vibe but

scum wouldn't want to self-vote as it would be too risky and bring attention

town can afford to make risky and flashy plays

[ZZZX]

is it common for people to believe that these "last will and testament" posts are ever influential after the player making them dies

Well, whether people follow it or not, I like to believe I did my due diligence, such as that if the game is lost because everyone sheeped those who I said are mafia, I can have that bit of self satisfaction that I

told you so

Sue me

It is a NAI, at most a meta read for specific players, but I mean, go for it.

- zzzx is already guaranteed attention. the slot by far has the most votes on it and deadline is coming up
- scum frequently benefit from risky and flashy plays because of this exact impression. are you familiar with the concept of WIFOM?

[Random Nurse]

As I understand it Scum would vote themselves to deny Town information. They can do it sooner than L-1 if they think their demise is evident.

[TemporalLich]

I've heard of WIFOM but haven't noticed it in practice

but yeah good point, ZZZX's risky play is still very calculated so I think the ZZZX wagon is still a good wagon

i don't know how you can think you did your due diligence while going out of your way to facilitate a supposed mislim
even re: self-satisfaction, can't imagine that your self satisfaction in this scenario would not be better maximized if you were limmed with your vote actually on scum
but all this is beside the question of whether you're actually town i guess
zzzzzzz

What do you think of hu tao

*skim skim*

Meh im not entirely sold on the zzzx thing. The selfvote annoys me, but i dont think its alignment indicative. I do feel a bit off at a few of these posts.

Guess i wont be upset about zx being gone, but I wanna ask one thing -

Why are we NOT elimming TL?

From following along on the past few days, TL is the person who keeps on pinging my scumdar. Sure there's no votes on TL, meaning probably not a viable wagon at this point

VOTE: TemporalLich Just for the record

But still, this feels like scum.

What are the main reasons for it?

[Psyche]

small dig into zzzx's meta around self-votes indicates plenty readiness to self-vote as town based on similar reasoning to the above, but also as scum presumably to deny information. so in isolation the self vote is NAI. coooool

[Psyche]

somewhat deeper dig leads me to even say it's more common for zzzx to do this self-vote-and-bargain thing as town. as scum, the self-votes are terse hammers.
don't relish saying it i'd probably bet he's town in this scenario. i'd invite anyone on his wagon to take their own look. will look askance at people who don't tbh
but yall don't wanna hear me you just wanna dance

[Cat Scratch Fever]

Hu tao is so scummy lmao

Their scumread on me seems like starting from the conclusion and making things up after the fact

Why can't I just be misguided town? The fact that you immediately think I'm scum is what's worse for you.

The reason why is in the second line of my post...

youre too late.

BBm and I were voting them for a while and people hard defended them, but they possibly slipped that ZZZx/Psyche were their partners, so zzzx is fine.

[Flavor Leaf]

Also, ZZZx claimed Vanilla so might as well power it through.

We are officially in a worst case scenario, they flip vanilla, and we have little to no claims in a large. That's a win.

[Klazam]

Spoiler: for sanity

okay I think the ZZZX wagon is at least somewhat fair, but I'm not really wanting to join that wagon either

CSF has some reasoning in 1502

I mean yeah I guess but the scummy wagon on ZZZX means ZZZX is town so I'm not willing to vote ZZZX

and I actually think Aisa is scummier for joining the ZZZX wagon with no good reason

also this means Hu Tao is a strong townread, due to that setup spec scumslip

Why would that make me town? Don't understand. Say he was scum, could I not just be other scum?

I don't want to retract a strong townread as that would be waffling and I'd be completely hopeless to stop my lim

ZZZX is hard null, which is below Aisa and above Flavor Leaf

VOTE: ZZZX

Eh what's the worst that could happen?

as for me, I'm voting ZZZX as the day needs to end shorter rather than later for the benefit of town

I've heard of WIFOM but haven't noticed it in practice

but yeah good point, ZZZX's risky play is still very calculated so I think the ZZZX wagon is still a good wagon

@ RandomNurse

For me it’s more feel based - been feeling pings from this slot (I don’t wanna put too much effort in this) - I went and iso’d TL again, skimmed through. I was actually suprised to see that TL flopped hard on the Zx wagon- calling it a badwagon , then going eh let’s do it, might as well.

I also quoted a example ( the post with “I will be accused of waffling and can’t stop my elim”) of a post type that TL has been making, so utterly self conscious, I hate these.

This post is flipping my option on zzzx, actually. (Or at least pushing it leantownish instead of neutralscummy)

Flavor- I dislike the implication of forcing through a mis elim just to do it. We have some time, I’d like to see if we have a chance at TL. I was unconvinced at the time y’all wanted it to be TL but posting has changed my mind lately. Might be true for other people here.
