I'm not so sure about an Ether/Yos2 connection; if Ether is scum, her vote on Yos2 seems like it could be pretty equally opportunism or a nervous attempt to bus him. Having said that, I'm not wild about Yosarian's first post today which ignores the meta-style case made against Ether (when he's previously said that Incognito is a good authority on Ether), ignores Incognito's attack on his charter vote yesterday, and places a vote on Xdaamno for jumping on an easy wagon. There's nothing illogical about what he said, but I just feel like he's capable of better at this point. Yos2, what's your view on the case against Ether?
If it wasn't clear, Patrick I just had time to make a quick post in all my games when I got home late last night, I certanly didn't have time to make a detailed response to anything other then a quick response to the attack against me.
Anyway, I tend to agree with Incognito that Ether has not been acting like town-Ether this game; I had the vibe for much of day 1, and while her one post when she came back looked pro-town to me, her play so far today has not. She is verry likely scum. I'm not sure why he changed his mind, though; Incog, could you explain why yesterday you thought Ether's play looked pro-town?
As for Xdaamno; I'm not sure what you mean by "he's capable of better at this point"; I'm pretty sure Xdaamno is scum here, and there's nothing "better" then that. He was attacked yesterday for not voting, and it looks like he was told by his scumbuddies last night "Hey, make sure you vote someone today", and so he did. His vote for me today seems complety inconsitant with his attitude towards me yesterday, and it just really feels like a scum move.
With all the scum still alive and two dead town investigative roles, I certanly would expect the scum to be going for the easy lynch today, since if town mislynches today then town would be at 4 town vs. 3 scum tommorow with very little power left, at which point town is pretty close to screwed. And that easy lynch would clearly be me here, since I got set up by the mod with an improbable role.
Yos2's claim looks worse than it did yesterday; maybe he is a red herring miller, but they must be pretty rare. I don't think I've ever even seen one.
Meh. Well, now you have. Anyway, roles like that in general (roles with an ability that never will get used to throw people off) aren't that uncommon; godfathers who are told they are kill immune but they're the only scumgroup and there's no vig, ect.
You're right that "red herring millers" specifially aren't common, though; if it had occured to me that I might be a miller with no cop in the game, I might not have claimed. I still think that a miller claiming miller on day 1 is generally the right move, but obviously not if there's not a cop in the game.
I want us to win just for Yos' inevitable rant alone. -CrashTextDummie
