Spoiler: musings that are probably way off

i feel like it's either cleric if scum is half-decent or bard if they're nooby

guess i'm making before seeing anyone else's:

Spoiler:

i think it's blorp

boom is unlikely due to the fact they were at the front of two misyeet wagons (and scum is generally more self-conscious than that, AND i'm not sure why tink would be hammering if their buddy was driving the wagons), and squeak ending all three days by not voting is odd for a buddy, especially if tink was about to get caught. i feel like squeak!scum would've been pushing other townies on d1 and d2, and be on the front of the bus on d3.

blorp also fits with the above idea - on d1 there was a wagon on a townie, blorp ended the day voting a different townie. and i feel like they'd be trying to earn towncred by bussing on d3.

My takeaway so far is datisi and ausuka are pretty good at this, on average. If they were both in a game and agreed on a vca case on someone, I'd sheep it

interestingly enough, i never use vca in games. or rather, never use further than "idk this wagon feels kinda bad". i've rarely actually gotten good results from vca in game.

something that i have been thinking about for a while (which also sorta applies to replacements in a game) is whether it's better to make decisions with limited information than with "all" information available.

Votes only act as a history

They can give you an idea to read but aren’t everything

you misunderstood, i was saying how having limited information might lead to better decisions than having all of the information (e.g. i seem to be half-decent at vca from naked votecounts, while in-game i am very much not that)

what got me thinking about that is the fact how replacements in games are often pretty good at reading the game when they rep in. and how i seem to chronically make wrong choices in yeetlo as a player, while actually being kind of good at them as a spectator.

of course, these phenomenons might be due to the players in question not having preconceived notions about the game, rather than due to working with limited information; but are those two constructs even that different? :thonk:
