Flavour

Caspar David Friedrich,

Moonrise Over the Sea

, 1821.

Every now and then I will post images of art I like together with votecounts. This is just for fun and has no effect on the game.

[skitter30]

I feel like she's approaching the game similarly to me in that she's thinking abt how to move things out of rvs + get people to start generating conteng

[Political Clout]

Looking forward to the game, all!

VOTE: political clout, never trust a politician

true VOTE: political clout

[skitter30]

Well that's unlikely to come from scum

I like this. I don't have a read on it per se, but I like it.

[Alianna]

Well that's unlikely to come from scum

Why so? I realize PC isn't me, but I've done similar stuff as both alignments. I'd be interested in your reasoning though.

Quoting you for the notification. Any thoughts yet on...well, anything?

[overseer]

Don't see what you two are seeing. Looks like a random vote to me.

[Merlyn]

I thought skitter was making a joke

I like TheHoldSteady's questions- clear and asking for more content and analysis.

I don't like that none of the other newbies have contributed anything.

[TheHoldSteady]

The one thing I've noticed so far is that one of Alianna or Skitter might be townie. Their interactions together out of the gate would be pretty bold if they were on the same scum team.

And while it's theoretically possible that both scum have been inactive, I have a gut feeling that that would be wishful thinking

[TheHoldSteady]

Same with Overseer and Alianna now that I think about it.

[skitter30]

Maybe i'm wrong but generally i feel like posts like that are less likely to come from scum, it feels a little too brazen to vote for themself

[skitter30]

On himself?

[Radical Polaroid]

Sorry, I don't really have anything to say, but I wanted to check in.

It's five to lynch and there's several days left. I'd like to believe that it's too brazen but I feel like it'd be safe enough for a scum to jokingly vote themselves

Or are you saying that voting yourself something that is typically read as suspicious, and that he'd be unlikely to draw attention to himself? What's brazen about it?

Sorry, I don't really have anything to say, but I wanted to check in.

Read the first two pages, what do you think of what's been said so far? Does anything stand out to you as a town or scum move?

[overseer]

On himself?

Because the vote was on himself, you think it wasn't RVS?

[Alianna]

Ughhhh.
Game slow.
Reads difficult.
Ali caveman apparently.

[Alianna]

Okay, maybe I'll ask some questions.

The one thing I've noticed so far is that one of Alianna or Skitter might be townie. Their interactions together out of the gate would be pretty bold if they were on the same scum team.

And while it's theoretically possible that both scum have been inactive, I have a gut feeling that that would be wishful thinking

I think two inactive scum is well within the realm of possibility, especially if both are new and unsure of how to play.
Let's say your theory is true though. Who do you consider active? Of those players, which one do you think is most likely to be scum or least likely to be town?

"Lynch" is banned on this site, we say "eliminate" or "execute" instead.

I'm not skitter, but I can attest that self-votes tend to get scumread, often for very silly reasons. It definitely draws attention.

[Alianna]

Don't see what you two are seeing. Looks like a random vote to me.

On himself?

Because the vote was on himself, you think it wasn't RVS?

I think you guys are defining "random" differently.
A self-vote is a little unusual and comes across as deliberate whether it's done as a joke or not. It's RVS for sure, but I get why someone would say it's not purely random.

Both the word random and vote is in the term RVS. You saying "it's RVS for sure" you're saying the vote was random so you agree with me.

If skitter thinks it's NOT RVS because the vote is on himself, then I would like to hear her take.

[TheHoldSteady]

"Lynch" is banned on this site, we say "eliminate" or "execute" instead.

My apologies, I'll try not to use that word anymore

Let's say your theory is true though. Who do you consider active? Of those players, which one do you think is most likely to be scum or least likely to be town?

For activity, I'm just going off of content and post count. You, me, and Skitter to have been the most active so far. Overseer and Merelyn have been slightly less active than us, but still decently so. Radical Poloroid, political clout, and Arko have barely posted. There's been nothing from areebot.

I think it's just my luck that at least one person who's been active is scum, but at the same time I don't think activity and content in and of itself is a good measure for scum reads, because it's an inevitability that not every townie is going to play the game well.

So you have to combine activity and content with scum MO. Rereading a bit, I could read Merilyn's post as her trying to quickly set the execution towards an inactive townie since those would be easy targets. But I want to see more posts from Merilyn and see what else develops before I hold on too hard to that read

[Aisa]

Prodding areebot and Arko.

Yeah, like it's seen as weird and i feel like it would call more attention to himself than scum are normally comfortable with

Like i just have a hars time seeing scum do that

[skitter30]

On himself?

Because the vote was on himself, you think it wasn't RVS?

So i think it was an rvs vote, but that it's more significant than 'random' and that we can derive meaning from it
