Question for your question, Ty: how do you feel if we lose the game because of some wild theory about a scum role that would completely unbalance the game from what we've seen flip?
The fact that you - with your suspicious votes - are also pushing this, is really unsettling.
Ty, of course sometimes I can tunnel. We are none of us above a tunnel sometimes. But this kind of deconstruction of facts and votes and rhetoric (i.e. my day job) is something I have tried in every game and this is just the first time it's worked. Helps too that I haven't let myself be led by the nose by anyone else. In DS I depended too much on Sawneeks, who appeared so reasonable, for example. When I second-guessed myself, I waited for someone else to make a compelling argument. Maybe it's the sketchy activity here, maybe it's a lack of compelling arguments, maybe because the grand counter-narrative is one I know myself to be untrue because I am town governor, but whatever the reason, all I have done is follow the votes and the facts of the game and all of that process is in the thread.
Here, though, is where it gets hard. Faddy is doing his best to get me killed without getting his hands dirty, and I don't know if that's calculated. Ty is now supporting it and has suspicious votes on some of the right people. Sorian has not-great votes, but maybe that can be explained, but boy isn't he being forthcoming by throwing himself on his sword. Topo has worked to look towny AF with his questions but he's also played about three different kinds of games and has suspicious votes.
So now, my strategies work less well, because the same calculations I have been performing throughout the game - weighing behaviors and votes - are coming out pretty equal on you guys.
Absent Kawl is scum Kawl and I hate inactivity. That was an easy vote.
I fucked up and overrode Blarg. Sorry, Blarg. It was a really bad call. I was in the car, I was talking to my friend, I was mad about continued inactivity, and Blarg was being erratic and flooding the thread with his theories, which were not, it turns out, wrong. But I made a mistake.
nin and Terra were the players who had the fewest reasons for me to think they were town. I waffled on Dusk. He had a couple of moves that made me doubt he could be scum, but all Terra had was some questions and attempts to participate, but they were calculated, not organic.
That Terra came in and landed right on Sorian could be a deflection away from Sorian. This is a concern. It could also be a way to focus on a townie he thought could get lynched; when it didn't work, he switched to Nomad.
Topo's questions about the Nomad NK could be a cover. It's a weird thing to focus on at this point but it does shift suspicion to me and Faddy in particular, away from Topo.
