when will you get it instilled in your pathetic brains that activity over the course off the game isn't alignment indicative.
Bussing D1 with a 2-player scum team is pretty rare, so kop is in the obvious lynch pool as he wasn't on the gamma lynch. Personally I prefer pyra today, and was voting kop primarily to get him to do something.
The game started during his phase of issues in RL... So it was hard to tell.
Regardless, it was a hollow lynch imo as it was just because he wasn't here to defend himself.
Yeah, I know, it was a rhetorical question. Point being that people can vote for pressure to help get a read, so I disagree with your characterization of the kop wagon as quasi emotional.
I don't have a problem with the wagon, it's when you say intent and act like it's something about to happen, you give people an out to react emotionally or alarmist... at least me personally I don't like to work with those things compared to analysis or reads.
I wonder to myself though what to do about that sometimes... in some ways I almost shouldn't pressure the people I'm most interested in because my preference is seeing someone in their natural behaviour and not overtly defending themselves, but that's also kind of giving them a pass
@Transcend I'd appreciate it if you could respond to my post about Kop. I had hoped that I would be able to get a reply firsthand from Kop and I was waiting for that before I decided to vote him, but obviously that isn't possible now. I suppose this would just be speculation from your perspective even if Kop previously held your slot, but it's still good to have an opinion from someone who just recently joined.
If we're being realistic this game could probably still be like a 70% if it is done lazy and quick and people do just scorched-earth the edges assuming none of the powertown are misreads but I don't really want any chance for regrets.
