Ok, So I took another look at T3's case on Cakez, as well as Cakez ISO. I didn't find anything wrong with their StD interaction earlier and I think I agree with Cakez 608 in that I think T3's logic was a stretch in that scenario. I think the best point T3 makes against Cakez is their 586. I can see his point about Cakez potentially trying to hide behind Black's vote there. Will admittedly say I was pinged a bit by Cakez electing to not respond to that point, though thinking about it more i'm not confident in that point even being AI in the first place.
It feels fairly normal to me to not want to repeat a case if your voting for someone for reasons that are similar to what another player has already said. The most suspicious part would be Cakez publicly agreeing with another player as a justification to vote (could be used as a way to shift blame onto someone else), but I feel less worried about this for two reasons.
A.: I think this type of mind meld in terms of logic is fairly common and tends to often happen whether spoken or unspoken in games regardless of alignment. I don't really see how it's anymore AI of Cakez to publicly agree with Black's case then it would be if he just repeated her reasoning and voted there without invoking her. It feels generally NAI
B.: I didn't really notice any patterns of Cakez hiding behind other players reads anywhere else when looking throughout their ISO. I would actually say they've been somewhat aggressive in pushing reads that were not consensus such as the StD interaction earlier and their 408 in regards to NotScum, doesn't jive with the idea of scum who's plan is to hide behind someone else's readsFriendly Neighborhood Scummer

Don't think I want Cakez today.
VOTE: T3
I think we launch this and call it a day (My apologies to you T3 if i'm wrong).
Less than 9 hours to go, we got to make a decision here.Friendly Neighborhood Scummer

I have considered whether I should change my no-elim position now that there are more moves and data and I have formed a view on which players look scummy.
To put it other way, if I see someone scummy, why don't I vote for his/her elimination.
I have 4 issues here.
1 - Cakez and T3 look scummy to me based on my interpretation of their moves. But if Black is scum, then Cakez and T3 should be credited, not criticized for their votes. Black can be scum and town in my set-up.
2 - If Black is indeed town, a good candidate would be Aristeia. But again, if Black is scum, Aristeia looks very townish for pushing a scum.
3 - I don't like to make a D1 vote where so much depends on the status of one particular player.
4 - another approach can be to vote for a passive player. But I do not think that such a harsh step is required at D1 and that voting for a lurk would give a lot of data.
So, I would keep my no-elim vote unchanged.-

It's my approach for this D1 voting. I don't think that town will loose if no-one is limmed today.In post 681, Aristeia wrote:

the reason I don't think either of them flip mafia is that this just doesnt feel like a game state where mafia are in danger of being eliminated because I don't think anyone cares who actually gets eliminated todayYou are always gonna be my love-

I think I see your point, but I disagree with your conclusion.In post 687, Aristeia wrote: the reason I don't think either of them flip mafia is that this just doesnt feel like a game state where mafia are in danger of being eliminated because I don't think anyone cares who actually gets eliminated today
I think I see what you mean in the sense that I do see some sentiment of hedging in terms of who people want to eliminate (HT's 629 comes to mind for me as an example off the top of my head, probs could find similar sentiment elsewhere in this thread) which gives the impression that people don't care which person is eliminated indicating scum not being worried).
I'd be more inclined to agree with this though if there was minimal to no resistance to the wagons that occurred today. I don't think that is the case though. Look through most of the major wagons today and you can find someone who dissented against them. Black (myself for a while, Hu Tao), NotScum (SirCakez) T3 (StD, Gob) and SirCakez (you,me) all had resistance posed at some point while their wagons were ongoing and I do think that indicates that people care who the elimination here is to me.Friendly Neighborhood Scummer

I can see resistance being mafia who are trying to look good for the next day,
what I'm missing is people advocating for one lim over another. everyone is kind of in a mood where it seems they don't really care what's going onYou are always gonna be my love-

Usually resistance to a wagon like mine is more likely to come from Mafia tbh
It’s felt kind of inevitable for a few days that I’d be limmed-

I would take stuff like 626, my revote of T3 earlier to fit this criteria ( I also kind of interpret Cakez 653 that way as well though that one is a stretch).In post 694, Aristeia wrote:In post 692, SmileyDude1 wrote: I'd be more inclined to agree with this though if there was minimal to no resistance to the wagons that occurred today.

like 626 is one post from yesterday ~24 hours ago, he's posted nothing since.
is STD really that interested in getting Cakez eliminated? who is he trying to get to vote for Cakez?
its just a feeling that nobody really cares about who gets flipped todayYou are always gonna be my love-
