UNVOTE: My last post ~never happpened~

Bell · Post Post #1276 (ISO) » Mon Aug 17, 2020 2:27 pm

VOTE: Jake

E-1. Willing to discuss.

Dannflor · Post Post #1277 (ISO) » Mon Aug 17, 2020 2:30 pm

I'm honestly pretty ambivalent towards a Jake elimination. I think it gives info and definitely isn't the worst choice

I'm slightly skeeved by the fact that no real counter wagon has sprung up this entire game

But that might be bad logic considering we only have 2 man scum teams instead of one 4 man scum team

Dannflor · Post Post #1278 (ISO) » Mon Aug 17, 2020 2:31 pm

Yeah that's probably a bad reason to town read Jake off of.

Penguin, is that what you were thinking when you commented on Jake being the only major wagon this game?

Woohoo, I’m glad my Danntell is correct this time.

Yep. Still think that a partner would be doing some sort of subtle deflection especially given its mutliball.

That’s explicitly what a counterwagon is.

Subtle deflection maybe, although I think it's somewhat difficult for a two man scum team to successfully drive up a counter wagon on their own in a game of this size.

I suppose Jake gets some points for his low survivalism. His vote only came out very recently and on Hiraki.

Do you have thoughts on Marashu?

Bell · Post Post #1285 (ISO) » Mon Aug 17, 2020 2:39 pm

Is hiraki a low survivalism vote?

It came out when Hiraki had 0 votes on him.

Granted Hiraki is probably more possible as a last minute flash wagon than other options

Mass vanity wagons isn’t indicative of subtle deflection (or any deflection) attempt.

Also - depends who is on that two man scum team.

Imagine the hell someone goes through when they want to ISO you on -say- D4 though. Imagine how someone who replaces in on D3/D4 feels.

Good, they're going to read the game now and understand the context. Many people don't do that.

Should I be sorry that a replacement has to

read

dramonic · Post Post #1292 (ISO) » Mon Aug 17, 2020 3:33 pm

@1274
Counterpoint: Menalque just put Jake solidly in their scumpool but has called Jake slot town all game.

Saying I'm not reevaluating is inaccurate. "yep, still scum" is a reevaluation ya rude muffin.

I might take the time to dismantle the wall, but it feels like a lot of wasted energy.

Could you do a quick review of the “all game” for me?

I think that his entrance is prob +town?

Idk I think bell was going back and forth with me on this, but I’m somewhat doubtful that Jake reps in as top wagon and thinks “yes, this is an optimal game for me to do my gimmick in!” As opposed to doing tryhardy posting

Flip side, despite being committed to the gimmick he has been kinda tryhardy

Mostly a big fat idk. I think you had a point that I don’t have town!meta on haven to make a comparison to, but she just felt townie and I like, hate the pressure on that slot apart from testa (And tbh testa’s vote there coupled with low activity is the main reason testa isn’t in my top tier of TRs)

In post 1048, Dannflor wrote:I mean if we're talking about flipping for info I'm somewhat interested in Jake given that slot has been the top wagon all day
Okay but counterpoint

I think hiraki will flip scum and I don’t think Jake will

Like hiraki is the most productive slot to flip who I actively think will flip scum

Not really, and I didn’t love her recent posts but overall she reminds me significantly of last game with the key exception being a lack of paranoia of me. I’m putting that down to my being town last game tho and then playing the same here, so I think it makes sense she’d be less concerned

I'm not necessarily asking you to change your read, just like, maybe engage Menalque with more of an open mind?

To be honest, Dramonic more of who I was addressing, as I think you have at least been trying to get reads on other slots in the meantime, while Dramonic has been tunneled for a good 50 pages.
