People that have played with Weuler before, how natural do you think Weulers joke on probability distributions was in between them pushing STD:

I don't see how this makes sense. If you are town, then you are saying that you want to make it easier for town to eliminate you, instead of pursuing another wagon?

That feels like way more analysis than this situation warrants. I don't think it's at all a given that people will still feel the same about who's scummy tomorrow after getting new information. Predicting who was going to get wagoned to end the day was hard enough 24 hours ago; day 2 will likely be a totally different situation.

Dragons is voting Elements now too, I forgot earlier. I'm going to go ahead and VOTE: Weuler which should put him back to e-2. Not because of the joke though, which could have ulterior purpose or could just be pointing out something he thought was silly.

Consider the post timing though. Weuler makes the joke 1 minute after the quoted STD message and then takes another 12 minutes to continue pushing STD for an earlier message. Both of them are active during this time. Do you think this is them coordinating a bus in Mafia PT

To me the timing of the joke would indicate that if it's not a Weuler/STD scumteam Weuler can respond to a joke in about a minute. If that's the case though, why does it take them another 12 minutes to make their next post when it's a one-liner question.

This is especially relevant when Weuler shows they can make a one-liner question post in two minutes with but take six times as long with ?

No. A joke is a lot easier to spit out than specific game content, which requires thought about what exactly you want to ask and how to phrase it and maybe even whether it's something you even want to talk about at all.

Also there were a crapload of posts in between, so even if Weuler did smash out the question in a minute or two he could easily have gotten bogged down by there constantly being new posts in Pedit. Or, y'know, just have been doing something else- I'm often peeking in just for a moment then getting back to work for a bit.

I've only played with scum!STD once but he was an Antisocial Survivor that time.
He did claim VT in that game but that was because most of the PRs had already claimed and the only unclaimed PRs could not be fakeclaimed without punishment from the mod.
Though, I think STD is the sort who claims optimally as scum.

Weuler walk me through your thought process for keeping your vote on STD instead of switching to Elements as the deadline started creeping up as Elements got off the STD wagon (so from around to around )

I was fine with either of them getting eliminated and I still thought STD was a good choice. I should say that I still feel like an elements lim could be good, but right now it is probably to late during the day to switch.

I really liked my conversation with STD from yesterday (i.e. 12 hours ago). His responses didn't feel artificial. My highest scumreads are still Elements/STD but STD is now second on that list

I don't like this unvote. There's like 9 hours left until the deadline when you posted this and you go to sleep two hours after your unvote based off . Since we're basically in a deadlock between Weuler and STD that'll only get resolved if one person switches wagons or Elements votes for either, this basically guarantees that Weuler doesn't get elim'd here

This is especially problematic when Meg is town reading STD. There straight up isn't enough people who post at this time to force a third wagon even if they all somehow agreed to do it. If you're town reading STD and scum reading Weuler why take your vote off Weuler just because they're E-1?

The point is Meg wanted to make sure there was a hammer. So if someone else wanting to vote Weuler came along before she goes to bed she cleared space on the wagon for them while allowing more time for people to post.
