Well the only bandwagon I can hop on is either on you or FL, and FL is the guy from my
first ever
previous game that I liked the most, so it's not him
As town, I would gladly accept the D-1 lynch as a necessary sacrifice and hope town can build a solid case based on any evidence that I've left behind while alive

I'm not mad, I just think it's a borderline nonsensical read.
Also, you upgrading/clarifying your position to "wouldn't want him today" is a little worrisome.

Personally I don't think L-2 is that dangerous, but hopefully they'll unvote when they see my cool new wagon.

VOTE: Vorkuta because this post pings my scum radar.
I stand by what I wrote. Unfortunately the probability (22%) of randomly catching scum on the first day is more than that (20%) of randomly guessing based on the bandwagon after someone flips green. I like my odds, and bulbasaur is responding quite selfishly and anti-towny. Almost even contrary to the town's win condition....

I'm not sure what this means, can you elaborate?

Are you suggesting Bulbazoor is a policy lynch more than a scum read?

So it's both extremely annoying yet somehow makes me feel so flattered that I have a new meta of being insanely easy to pocket with comments like from Vorkuta.
But I asked myself literally the same thing reading his post in a..."Oh...I'm so honored that you're hardcore trying to pocket me right now, and you know what, it's working!!"

Say we all collectively randomly picked someone to lynch on D-1. Odds that we hit scum are 2/9 = 22%.
Now let's assume they flip townie, obviously we have to analyze the wagon. I have faith in town (unlike Bulba) and believe that they will not lynch unless there is scum intervention- this is just my interpretation of game theory and what not. There is 1 scum out of 5 people who voted to lynch = 20%.
Simple statistics tells me that without any additional information I'd rather be the one to pick someone at random to lynch, than analyze a wagon that I wasn't on.

Well I think voting Guten for not confirming early was a bad reason. I'll admit I shouldn't tr him atm. I tr flicker because she seems to be trying to solve the game and called to question my bad TR which I'll now backtrack on because there are way townier people. I like flavor unvoting me.
Vork, nothing about what I said was antitown. How is me not wanting to get lynched as town antitown?
What are your thoughts on Alonzo's excitement over you? If he's scum, would you let him get away with it...because I would. Flattery'll get you everywhere.

Voting someone for not confirming seems like setting up for a later push on them solely for not confirming early. Guten sounds pretty genuine so far to me. And look at how Flavor tried to vote me for me voting him. It wasn't a forced and weak push. It was an attempt to gouge your reactions and so far you aren't reacting well. Rapidly anger-voting me when I call you out is not a good thing to do. You got defensive as soon as I started attempting to pressure you.
I agree with Flicker, this seems like you're reaching too hard but I like it because you helped get us out of RVS. I guess you're suggesting that I would use this to push for a policy lynch. I personally think it's better to drag out the first day because it gives you more info on possible scum teams and voting patterns come D2. It seems like you're really pushing for a quick lynch which I don't agree with.
I also find it funny how you think Guten sounds genuine when he's only written 5 words since the game started

Pocket means when scum tries to get on a townie's side basically, so that the townie town reads the scum and helps them not get lynched and push other lynches. Generally this comes with scum doing things to try and get certain people specifically to be on their side.
I like to think of it like the townie who is getting pocketed is a super dumb, but extremely cute little creature who the evil villain is holding inside his pocket. This is similar to buddying, and that's when scum tries to get chummy with a townie.
