DTD
Alright, let’s start with his first post;
votes for PrivateI. People tend to vote the familiar when possible for a new player the only player they’d have any brief experience with is their scumpartner. This would be more of a critical mass piece of the puzzle rather than something that stands alone for me.
His next six posts or so are pretty empty
but then we get him voting for me for voting for PrivateI which at the time meant nothing but with a PrivateI scum flip has become all the more interesting. It’s curious that he never said why he thought me voting PrivateI and him unvoting him was linked but he did think there was a link; while it’s possible it’s just hubris doesn’t it make sense that there is a link and they’re partners and hence the reaction.
Then we get the
second part of this probing post which reads to me now like he’s checking on whether he has to be worried for his partner more than anything.
Over the next hundred pages he says nothing of real value, just some gameplay technique stuff other than briefly trying to direct attention to Zephyr who we know is town. He votes for Billi without any reasons just sheeping other people but as soon as it might get him caught on a hypothetical mislynch he jumps off, probably because he realizes how bad it’d look in retrospect.
And then we get the PrivateI vote that has Jake and others writing him off as scum but looking at the vote count doesn’t that seem like the perfect time to vote for your scum partner? Two big competing wagons that he likely thought would make sure the lynch happened between one of them; he gets to look like he’s doing something instead of just sheeping the biggest wagons and if PrivateI does eventually get lynched then he looks great.
The bottom of
this post is amusing but it could be legitimate with the second half talked on to cover and even redirect. In
post 399 we get what looks to be like his first real analysis of the game state in any depth. And you know the theory that Billi suggested (and I didn't care for) that scum NKed Zephyr to make Jake stand out? DTD falls right in line with that suggestion pushing Jake for just that reason so maybe there is something to it.
