shwinnebego posted:

And this is a setup where it makes no sense to eliminate a lurker d1

This feels weird and feels like a preemptive defense of GulagDolls lurking with no good reason to do so. I feel weird about it. It's overly self-conscious and then Gulag jumps in anyway and this is forgotten about.

This is the first post in my backread I feel like I have strong feelings about. I'm not really feeling the current votes on cob.

though

a) plastic kinda picked up the whole idea first and then keats kind of built on that (a natural 'yes, and' i think)

b) my thought was... keats is talking pretty confident about a captain's perspective hmmmmm?

This is how I feel about Keats' explanation. It makes sense but it's probably wrong and comes from an overly-confident townmind.

I don't see the point of you asking the question, like it's all vibes right now What kind of meaningful answer could salad really give. It reads more as self-conscious to me at the moment

Also lol at acting like Scum would not throw votes on each other day one

I don't like the vibes from this post. Obviously Day 1 cases aren't going to be great, but TPC seems to be pushing hard on the idea that any attempt cob can do to unravel the thoughts of people voting for them is scummy.

"lol at acting like Scum would not throw votes on each other day one" makes a lot of assumptions about scum behavior that is also not necessarily true in in a Fire/Ice setup.

This is a bad post imo.

Okay this is the exact kind of lurking "Yeah guys I'm here totally" post that I hide behind when playing scum.

##vote: Monathin

fwiw I think this is a pretty town-ish vote on me. Calling me out as lurking up until this point is justified and I have literally in fact nailed Plastic to the wall on being lurking scum on the same merits.

Now you can make a WIFOM case for how Fire/Ice means scum players can act more towny and earn cred 'legitimately' by scumhunting the other team, but I don't think a scum would try to hunt lurkers as aggressively as this.

the last time I saw a scum drafting game, gulagdolls ended up as the captain and picked everyone in the game whose name started with the letter M as the scum team

do not presume the captains are thinking too hard

God I'm pretty sure I was in this game and our team sucked and we exploded. I only literally just remembered now.

Okay I'm caught up, kind of skimmed page 11 but I have enough to build some reads.

##vote shwinn

shwinn's voting feels like his stereotypical from-the-hip style posting but there's some weird digressions on how he explains the conclusions he arrives at. In particular defending Gulag from lurking votes before Gulag has a single vote feels REALLY weird to me, still. performative is a lovely word to use here because we're all performing but something in my gut says shwinn is trying just a little too hard to make it look like he's town. but also a town shwinn would never call day boring, imo.

I don't really feel like the cob vote is very good. It feels like it's piling on someone who is seemingly engaging in good faith. I'm not gonna vote there.

A little surprised wins is not more engaged but I'm not gonna go for a lurker vote unless we absolutely gotta. I have no good reason for this, it's just ~vibes~.

wologar is consistently picking a fight with anyone who calls him scummy. i have no idea if that's wologar's usual meta but it feels very weird and i don't like it. it's hyper-defensive.

opop's post explaining how they're going to vote in the future is still super bad and opop is my second choice.

TPC is aggressive but it's aggressive in a way where i don't know if it's actually conductive to scumhunting and can be easily disguised as an active scum picking fights with everyone at random. currently alignment-neutral on TPC but need to read into it further.

beet is probably town.

anyway, I'll be around for deadline but distracted because I've been trying to finish FF7 Rebirth. But I'm actually here and playing the game now instead of the thing I was doing before.

I've been sitting on a theory that I'm not sure if I should share or not today with respect to the drafting process. It's something that I'm surprised Keats isn't all over already TBH.
