same but the other way.

the problem is that I did some action and got targeted because of it. It's a pretty common first-round scum strategy in social deduction games to argue that anyone who sticks their neck out for any reason is the one who is actually scum to get someone killed fast.

Eh, I'm with you on the general reasoning but it's only two votes on D1 so I'm not sure if you're actually being targeted for sticking your neck out.

Then that cements it tbh! Voting without ever saying why you're voting and then insisting that it's a serious vote....!

makes sense, thanks. my reasons are usually between me and my ballot box but since you showed me yours i will show you mine

joke or no the post about sitting out the game was the first scummy thing i saw and an immediate vote made sense to me since they already had a vote and votes can draw out players who are avoiding posting lest they reveal their scummy thoughts. not bad for early d1 imo.

as for not saying why i�m voting at the time, it was strategy! maybe the wrong one, but i thought the vote was the important part because the post could be explained away as purely comedic. but how would a new player who drew scum react to votes piling up? that was my thinking anyway, thanks for reading

even assuming what you say is true about the strategy being common, you sound like you�re just saying �no u!� right here. like, if it was an honest mistake of not reading the op what is the point of turning around and saying �no u!� when you get called out?

Except when it's scummy! And it gave me a little scum vibes but not a ton and that's mostly because I think it's always a little scummy to tell people common strats and look helpful on D1 if there are a lot of new folks.

You need to match for rear end in a top hat idiot capacity rather than physical likeness, so it's Mel Gibson.

Unless some scummy player just really overplays their hand, Day 1 doesn't typically yield super helpful information without Night 1 to help contextualize it, imhmpe (in my honest mafia playing experience)

My vote is staying on CommonShore even though it started as a joke post, because so far I haven't seen a better case for anyone else. I will also move my vote if it looks like it'll make the difference between bringing down the guillotine or not, as I think a no-execution Day benefits scum more often than not. Just letting you all know in case I change my vote and someone tries to call that scummy. It's not!!! You gotta believe me!!!!!

this post is weird. I liked earlier how bluedeanie started with a simple icebreaker question but this moves the needle for me the other way somewhat
