Do you actually believe this?
Yes and no. I know some AI things happened, but I also know that I don't really care about any of them to be fully honest? You know how everyone was complaining about nobody being scummy? It was because no one WAS being scummy. The game didn't have anything scum indicative happening. You remember that I had to force a scumread on PAGE SEVEN? Not page 2. Not page 3. PAGE SEVEN. I was forcing a scumread because there was nothing to scumread.
So that's what I mean when I say nothing AI happened.
And when I was saying the game is not out of RVS - yeah obviously it is "out of RVS" in the most literal sense because we're discussing things seriously and not voting people based on their username / alignment in a previous game / random whims.
What I meant was that the game hadn't started for real. The point of RVS is to give the game momentum. One player is being randomly wagoned for zero reason, when suddenly someone places them at E-1. Then people suspect that person (or TR that person, I don't care), and then people start voting the person who did that or the person who had a bad TR on that or whatever, and the game gains momentum.
I didn't feel ANY momentum in the game until page 17. Until that point it was exactly how Python described it - a lot of focus on "who is scum". But no momentum, no vibes, etc.
