Last Night Before I Replaced In
It is true that Math did indeed want RC's flip. And then Creature wasn't really interested in Theta or Titus (calling them coinflip slots) before Vax, my short-lived predecessor, offered up Oath since Oath claimed to not be town (why Vax did this, I have no idea, but that's indeed what happened). Yuurei made some post that was [redacted] and then Vax maybe got replaced as a result? I have no idea what happened but I'm blaming Yuurei.
What is interesting is that Math was convinced my slot was town because of this but now he isn't because I wouldn't give him Oath.
Oath probably would have been the lynch last night, and while I did vote for it just to lock something in (and because I hadn't read pretty much anything at the time), I wasn't really all that interested after sifting through Oath's iso. I believed the claim, said so, and even pointed out that we should really have no interest in eliminating non-werewolves. Math didn't care and said the slot was beyond redemption because it was tunneling him (not that I care about stuff like that), but maybe Math's wincon is different from mine.
I asked him for other options, and Math agreed that he would be interested in going for either RC or Theta (both slots I was also interested in). I was getting tired of all the low-key scumreads on Theta in the game and people tying other people to a Theta scum-flip. RC did this twice, once with Luna-Theta (before going straight after Luna) and again with Math-Theta (before going straight after Math). Theta also seemed only interested in voting Math and some of her theories seemed to be made only to defend RC's claim rather than her seeming to try and find anything incriminating on him, so I thought maybe the two could be partners. I really thought the game needed a Theta flip, said so, and I thought Theta was scummy anyway.
I did know that RC fakeclaimed, but RC fakeclaims as town anyway, and I wasn't really taking the slot seriously after the Luna flip. Do I feel a little bad for going for Theta instead of RC? Not really. I didn't know the context of RC's fakeclaim against Math at the time of me locking in the lynch and didn't until this morning.
Hilariously, Math tried to get me to vote Oath, saying Creature was a lurker and that he probably wouldn't be counted on to hammer a Theta lynch (but that Math would hammer Theta if it came down to it). And then he gives me some nonsense about how Theta was scummy, but not worth our time because 'there are more important flips.' Apparently vampires are a big deal. Who knew? Maybe there's some secret underlying Twilight motifs we aren't aware of.
And then 'we need RC's flip a hell of a lot more than Theta's' before 'just vote Oath,' to which I stood my ground and he said he would lynch me if Theta flipped green (to which I didn't care because I was expecting Theta to flip wolf and Math was scumreading Theta anyway??????). Also probably why he's going after me here, because he thinks I'm just going to lie down and let him lynch me.
Like, the entire scenario last night was ridiculous. Why should I have had to explain why Oath is probably not scum here? And why is Math throwing a bitch fit that I wanted to lynch Theta (who we both agreed on if it came down to it) instead of Oath (who I straight up told him I wasn't interested in)?
I don't know why this guy is in the neighborhood. All I know is that Math offered him up as a recruit on Night 1 and Yuurei agreed. Maybe it was explained somewhere, but Creature doesn't give me very good vibes. And he seemed mostly indifferent with whatever we did last night.
I also don't know what his deal with Vecna is. I think Vecna is town.
He also doesn't seem to like Muffin, but w/e. Cheeky wasn't all that great anyway.
Regarding the Neighborhood
I don't really care about it all that much, to be honest. Math has been treating it like some sort of masonry (or maybe a shield), to which I don't really agree with. We have a non-werewolf killing power as it is, and I do think giving town two extra killing powers (the one with the shooting flavor and the neighborhood) seems like a little much. I'm also a little irked out by his lack of interest in sorting people's alignment from the hood, and with the exception of me refusing to lynch Oath for him, he's seemed more than happy to townread people from there.
Anyhow, that's my two cents. I originally didn't like RC + Theta last night, especially since I thought the two could be partners. But Theta townflip makes me think RC was probably just town, and now I think maybe it's just Creature + Math + maybe Ank? + maybe someone else if it's a 4 wolf team.
VOTE: Mathblade
I don't really care if you lynch me. I mainly joined to keep this game from stalling or being abandoned. I just couldn't approve of an Oath lynch last night.
P.S. It's interesting that there's no flip from the werewolf killing flavor (maybe they went after Oath?), so probably another reason for me to think Math is scummy.
