I don't think that's wrong. But I also think it would be much better to pressure big hood inhabitants first before killing there.In post 273, Cephrir wrote:my head hasn't quite gotten into this game and that's unfortunate but a real thought i do have is that somnus is just scum giving up
I've been actually mulling for a while if the best move here, provided we all agree that Somnus is scum and arecorrecton it, to eliminate in the big hood. Forces scum into making a choice of either killing in the small hood (and thus sealing Somnus as scum even more), or killing in the big hood (and narrowing the pool).I, too, have a destiny.-

The board game card game in me immediately reflexes to say that giving your opponents choices is worse than not doing so"Let us say that you are right and there are two worlds. How much, then, is this 'other world' worth to you? What do you have there that you do not have here? Money? Power? Something worth causing the prince so much pain for?'"
"Well, I..."
"What? Nothing? You would make the prince suffer over... nothing?"-

TBH I don't really have any good reason to scumread anyone in the big hood, so Pooky's lack of content is just what I'm going with for now.
I really don't see why people are giving him a pass here.
Second guess would probably be Cephrir? I think he might have attempted to pocket me immediately by townreading me. But maybe I'm just overthinking it.
Other than that, idk. If I end up getting eliminated, that's still a better choice than Somnus."I think mafia is the only thing that makes me angrier than driving" - Cheetory6-

I think some things are kind of... universally understood currently. Somnus is scum; eliminating in the small hood is disadvantageous as we don't yet have a clear idea who scum in the big hood is.In post 290, SirCakez wrote:why would I start bussing here now? if Somnus and I were buddies I'd fire up a wagon on someone else not roll over onto them

You obviously agree with the first bit. But I don't get the feeling your vote is a pressure vote, exactly, as I don't think you believe one extra vote will suddenly make Somnus play. So what are you hoping to achieve, exactly? The answer is towncred upon a Somnus flip. Somnus flipping red doesn't help the town currently, because we don't actually have to kill him to solve the game, but if you're scum with him, it does help you. The town should absolutely be focusing on the big hood, because - Somnus flips red,then what?
This is an even worse look if Somnus is town, but I refuse to believe that we're in that universe.I, too, have a destiny.-

That's partly my point. If we can agree that Somnus is most likely scum, then the scumteam has tough choices to make in the night.In post 283, Cephrir wrote:tbh im not really concerned about scum killing in the small hood i think they will just never ever do thatI, too, have a destiny.-

Oh, if Cephrir is right about scum being unlikely to shoot in the small hood, then SirCakez's vote makes even more sense as a bus vote.
Think about it - Somnus is kind of universally understood to be scum. But if we miseliminate someone from the big hood, then what? You obviously want to shoot in the small hood (as Somnus is likely going to die one way or another), but doing so feels wrong because damning your buddy even further feels wrong. But, if he flips Day 1? You're free to shoot in the small hood as those people are then conftown, and you aren't shrinking the big-hood-pool as you're doing so.
So SirCakez's argument of "I wouldn't bus here as scum" is nonsense, IMHO.I, too, have a destiny.-

uh what? I want to lim Somnus so that we can solve based on the flip lol. I think Som is scummy but I don't trust shit til I see the flip. I don't like this strategy you're doing basically solving the game as if Somnus has already flipped scum.In post 292, Lucian wrote:
