It's not town-motivated at all to lock in a vote without discussing here, especially since it encourages scum to do the same.

Doubtful? The swap exchanges the locations of two players, such that there's exactly one scum at each location afterward. Are you having trouble following my post?
So one swap = two players moved.

You said something about all 3 of you winding up in different mini games if you're grouped together on Day 1 and I don't see how that's possible.

No, I'm saying if we

grouped together on D1.
It's always the same. When you fire that first shot, no matter how right you feel, you have no idea who's going to die. You don't know whose children are going to scream and burn. How many hearts will be broken. How many lives shattered. How much blood will spill, until everybody does what they're always going to have to do from the very beginning... SIT DOWN AND TALK!

If I weren't very much consensus minded, I would already have voted myself into the keep.

The only thing that holds my vote back atm is Briar's preference.

Also, I'm all in on Anastasia-town. Fite Me


Much as I dislike the idea of winding up at the Wall, I'm willing to entertain reasons why that would be a good thing for town.

I'm going to link this post from broseidon because he gets me as a mafia player and he's also able to verbalize what I'm about better than I can, myself. This is what I strive for in every town game. And this is absolutely what I'm doing here.

It's also what I strive for as scum. I vastly prefer being a supporting actor to a don corleone over carrying a team myself.

Okay... But why would you, as scum do it?

Like I feel like you are trying to make the point Briar+Ana can't both be town, because if they were both town, then a scum would have put themselves there already. But I am not following your logic, because I cannot figure out what the scum team would gain from making the play of locking themselves in there already.

I feel like the chances are low, even though I think your solve is probably close.

This isn't a player list full of slouches. It's not full of larger than life personalities for the most part, but I think everyone here is in it to win it.

I think it's a good point that Dunnstral raises

however the scum team I proposed SS-Infinity are both not as bold as Dunnstral so I can see them choosing to not sacrifice themselves at the Keep in a daring ploy.

Dude. If you just auto-locked yourself in right now, I feel like the consensus would be that you scumclaimed, and we would just move forward with "vote anyone but Dunn" and we would just win the mini game, regardless of the swap mechanic.

Unless you think you could scum claim there, and then we would be so confused by the swap mechanic, we would just forget? lol

Apologies, I'll be around more tomorrow. Tonight isn't very good.

Giving IOU to questions, I had some thoughts about the nature of the Keep-group because that's where my personal focus is but I don't want to explain them when I feel like this. So, tomorrow, hopefully.

That there's scum in those 3? Logically yes, but it feels like nobody understands what I'm getting at, so actually no.

I have a feeling that Infinity is scum here

No but if we have two consensus town in the Keep then we don't care at all about the third slot. And if someone did scumclaim into it then there'd be no point in swapping one of them out since it's a guaranteed town win anyway.
It's always the same. When you fire that first shot, no matter how right you feel, you have no idea who's going to die. You don't know whose children are going to scream and burn. How many hearts will be broken. How many lives shattered. How much blood will spill, until everybody does what they're always going to have to do from the very beginning... SIT DOWN AND TALK!

You would scumclaim and force the optimal move onto town?
I feel like this is coming from a scum!SS who has already considered the move that Dunnstral is proposing and decided it's not a good play to make.

His disbelief reads to me like he can't believe a townie would say such a silly nonsensical strategy.

Yes I'm horribly confbiased - but that's kind of why I want the ss-infy-unwnd team to snap me out of it if I'm wrong <3
