Generally, the purpose of votes is to apply pressure to slots so that you can more effectively learn their alignment.

Self-voting is not an effective gambit because, since it would be an "obvious reaction test" it doesn't provide that much useful info

Some people also will policy-lynch people who self-vote, since it has been argued that scum self-vote in RVS slightly more frequently than town

[Weiss Schnee]

~~~Weiss Thoughts~~~

We have 9 days on the timer, but we do not HAVE to use all of day 1. Trying to drag out the day can make town grow bored, if wagons are already productive.

That being said, rushing the day end can be very risky, since killed players will not have said much so they will give little indication about why scum chose to kill anyone in particular. This can be both good and bad, since it discourages NKA and can help town focus on dayplay, but it does mean there's just less to work with overall.

Generally, when wagons build up, they get to "L-1" -- this is lynch -1, which means one more vote will hammer. The typical policy at this point is to get a claim from the player about to be lynched, by someone expressing "intent" to hammer.

Now the trick here is that scum has a strong incentive to claim a town power role when at L-1. This can risk outing the power structure of the town.

In my last two newbie games, a random townie hammered someone at L-1 without a claim. Once the slot flipped scum, the other time the slot flipped VT. But both of these were 'risky' plays because they could have risked killing a town power role day 1. Generally, if a strong town power role dies before day 2, the town should statistically lose the game. So this is discouraged.

~~~These have been Weiss Thoughts.~~~

rg since it's the start of the game and we haven't made interactions and have no info we are in what's called RVS or Random Vote Stage where we practically randomly vote and latch onto something to lead a proper discussion or similar

okay...

Basically, yes

I can't find a picture within the allowed dimensions

[Weiss Schnee]

What image do you want? It's easy to resize using generic paint

In Paint you open the image, go to Resize, and then select the pixels in the range that's acceptable

[OldMapleNostalgia]

I'm voting for OldMaple because it sounds Canadian.

VOTE: OldMaple

Bad experiences across the border, ay?

VOTE: Weiss
RWBY has bad animation and even worse plot.

[Weiss Schnee]

I can't believe you do this to me after all we've been through Old Maple, brings a tear to my eye

But yeah those are fair points, they also pretty much ruined all the best looking character designs in the most recent season

I stopped watching last volume (5 I think?), but something I do have to give RWBY credit for is the music. Bangers all around.

[OldMapleNostalgia]

@rg looks good

[Weiss Schnee]

How about that.

It's very red! Is that a call of duty soda icon?

Yeah, great soundtrack. I liked the character designs in 1-4 and the character dynamics were cute enough.

VOTE: Natsu

Can I ask why the Natsu vote? Or is it a regular RVS vote

[Weiss Schnee]

Most everyone else seems townier at the moment but yeah basically

[rg]
