i mean if i had to guess it is a town being able to provide a poe without saying so themselves
or scum being able to provide a poe attempting to mimic the first
or the mod just putting out a list of people for reasons
number three being the only one where i would expect to see you on it
Yeah, who knows if it's someone specifically doing it, I wouldn't rule out it being randomized somehow yet.
I am possibly ruling out it being randomized somehow yet.

yeah okay then that is definitely being controlled by someone
too soon to say if it is town or scum or the mod but i am feeling better about it as well
alter of rautherdir
as town won 5 games | lost 6 games | mislimd 3 times | dayvigged once | nightkilled 3 times | vengekilled once | survived 3 times
as scum won 5 games | lost 1 game | eliminated twice | dayvigged once | vigged once | survived once | perfect scum victory once
and if you count large normal 204 then i won that game after replacing out as scum
This puts a bad taste in my mouth because I feel like this both rewards
Wheme
for acting rashly and that these townreads are likely not all uninformed.
I disagree because:
1. A read is not a "reward", it's what I think about a person. This is like saying that if somebody who's known for high-efforting as scum plays a low-effort game I'm "rewarding" them for low effort by townreading them. It's silly.
2. Why do you think it's informed? I mean I don't have meta on scum!Wheme so maybe I'm wrong, but to me it seems very unlikely that scum!them would act with such rash / goofy behavior in a way that draws a lot of attention. How is that not a valid read?
I personally thought that Wesley's writing style is very similar to Skygazer's. And like who would it be? A player that was specifically invited by Skygazer to sign up separately?

I'm not sure what do you mean by "the above". If you want me to respond to 143, presumably wrt 134, Wheme is either being yolo wolf taking refuge in outrageous audacy, or just stubborn townie doing the funny meme thing for ill defined reasons, and of the two I'd bet on the latter.
If you want me to ponder on how the list works, idk why you'd ask me specifically, I do not believe there are mod-controlled mechanics, just on the basis of this game's nature. This is an u-pick, so likely all mechanics are just the result of roles. By the same token I think wesley is likely ultimately controlled by some other player

I think based on everyone in the game appearing in the votecount, everyone has a vote.
It is more likely that either there is a role making the number to eliminate lower, or something is making us perceive it as such. The rules say a majority is needed for an execution but the votecounts talk about chomping on dust
Wouldn’t sometning that makes us perceive it as lower count as mod lying to us?

Yeah, but sometimes people are going to feel like playing in that 'silly' way anyway, like they expect to be able to bend others' playstyle to their liking through rewards and punishments in their reads.
(Yeah, I'm still grumpy about T-Bone voting me in ELO instead of scumDrew as punishment for suspecting him as the partner due to him screwing around all day talking about voting Save The Dragons for not doing much of anything despite T-Bone having already called Drew confirmed scum. )
