I noticed there were a few differences between the Vote Counts and were just checking to see if they were correct, like the random vote shifting from bb to me without explaination.
Wut?
If you compare the vote counts, it's obvious that there are disparities between the votes bb and I received. I went from 1 vote to 2 without anyone placing a vote on me, and bb lost a vote in the process, which was what I meant by that.
Glad that you could join us. Now that you've met the traditional requirements of voting me, who do you actually think are scummy?
quaking is probably referring to the vote weight that would have caused the illusion of a random vote shifting.
Ah, okay.
Little bit of AtE but it's understandable considering how ridiculous this bb wagon is rn.
How am I appealing to emotion, and if I am, how is that scummy, problematic or otherwise significant? If it isn't scummy, was there a particular reason for you bringing it up?
Where is my vote for scattered?
Nothing wrong with the Vote Count.
The vote summary doesn't necessary indicate the vote placed in the Vote Count update. It is just a summary based what posted in the thread.
OK so what I meant might not mean AtE in your book, I just think that one can use AtE to do other things than manipulate people to vote or not vote, such as trying getting away with a suspicious bandwagon by using the "I'm new"card.
The self-awareness is problematic when it could be used in a suspicious way- the fact that he knows his vote is piling on a lot of other votes that can boost the chance of you being lynched early, but he still wants to vote, so he appeals with what he thinks will be a convincing reason. Also, where are your thoughts on the issue of not caring about who is going to be lynched? Quaking has a fair point that a new townie might have a similar mindset of a scum that is just to survive, but still, it doesn't remove the merit of this case.
I guess I can also give him the benefit of the doubt for being new, though. If another case pops or I find another one, I'll have no issue giving him that, but for now, it's a fair case in this early stage of the game.
Good explanations here. I assume you saw my earlier comment that it is plausible and definitely worth entertaining that TSL might be intentionally pulling the new card as a reason for bandwagoning, so I won't comment on that again. At the risk of echoing Quaking, new innocents are more focused on not dying than about who actually gets lynched. From the confused TSL that we've seen so far, this seems a very likely explanation for him not caring about who gets lynched.
Anyway, I'll be AWFK for most of tomorrow. All those who have been sitting back and not contributing are suss and if they are town, they are being anti-town by the way of reducing information about them.
Two "agreeing with your point towards them being scum, but I'll say why they may be town" posts in a row don't help anybody understand your reads and limit the connections you make.
Can you use mind melding instead of echoing to be more clear?
Also, woah BB did a Camopost :O
For example, this post was a full mind meld for me (which kinda makes sense because we've had to work on mind melding for Hydra Mafia...).
Whenever you're confused on a term, check the handy Mafia Master Document. It has almost all of the terms you'll need.
What is that vote and why scattered? Why, it's a wild OMGUS!
Not liking that VC analysis from Quaking because I talk about why doing it "in head, not thread" is helpful almost every game and Quaking of all people loves sending PMs to ask host questions. Unless of course, he thought that info would be better in thread fsr?
When so many people were calling out rando votes on BB in thread, why is Lugia joining the wagon? I don't see any good motivation for it.
If you aren't drawing any alignment from it, is it even worth posting?
When I post like that, it's basically just me thinking out loud. I later clarified that I'm reading TLS as newbie town.
No kidding.
Is there any reason I shouldn't post it? I noticed it, so I pointed it out. Once again, thinking out loud. It's how I roll in Mafia.
When did BB Camopost?
Agreed.
Same reasons as TLS. Either:
A: He's new and confused, and thinks the popular vote is automatically the good one.
or
B: He's trying to hammer.
#69-73. Not like it really matters though...
Except TLS didn't have people calling out that behavior to dissuade him. FL did.
It's a matter of playstyle, but I generally like to keep small NAI points in my head to see if the person ends up doing it more. That way, I can draw a larger conclusion about the point and the alignment it points to.
I do think that the info is better in thread, and can clarify if you want to know why.
Good point.
69 and 70 aren't really Camoposts. 71 and 72 are. 73 is a post from scattered, not bb.
I certainly would.
I can still do that, though? The way I do it, others can see what I'm thinking more, and get better reads on me, while I draw a larger conclusion at the same time. Anyways, it really is just playstyle. Dropping this topic now.
