I still think doing the fruit-circle on two nights is the optimal strategy, we just gotta work out which nights.
Anyway, on topic

So you're voting without pushing for a lynch? Instead, you're pushing your plan? Why exactly aren't you trying to lynch him if you think he's scum?In post 54, The Bulge wrote:

Sure. But our plan has less holes elsewhere for them to exploit this - if someone dies either the person above them is scum or scum gave fruit to one another. Like, your plan relies on scum mis-stepping to be better than our plan tbh. I don't think this is a good assumption to make. Hmm. You know, I can't actually see whats wrong with it right now. Dangit.

But your plan has this problem also.

This is weird. When you look back, TSO and I both completely misunderstood hayato's plan. Bulge didn't initially then DID in his later post? What?In post 42, The Bulge wrote:1) Scum can lie about giving fruit. Read the setup. You are not informed of how much fruit you received.

You understood his point at first, then your second post implies that you didn't. How does multiple fruit happen if we "go with the list order plan but don't make it mandatory?"In post 113, The Bulge wrote:I don't understand this... what are you trying to say?

#79 is me saying "The info from hayato's plan is better, but nobody besides us gets the plan so the information will go completely to waste if we do it because we'll die in the interim." Also #103 WAS fairly facetious. At this rate, we'll still be talking down to hayato about how bad his plan is and we'll no-lynch.In post 120, The Bulge wrote:Big long spoilered case about me jumping suddenly to hayato's plan
You weren't the first on it, and you most aggressively pushed our plan as opposed to looking at hayato's. Aronis just didn't get it but he was trying to look at hayato's idea. TSO was the first onto the wagon and voting hayato wasn't the first thing on his mind.It starts here. Obviously. Doesn't bother me too much because ok, fair enough, wagons can be scummy. Still wondering what makes me scummier than the other two, though...In post 44, Siveure DtTrikyp wrote:Anyway looking at the people who jumped onto the wagon.
VOTE: the bulge
Basically, your vote was a gesture so you could appear to be participating while driving us all into endless setup speculation and madness!Oh now I get it! I'm scum because... I followed through with my vote?In post 51, Siveure DtTrikyp wrote:About my vote, I distrust everyone on your wagon. Votes for something that is obviously dependent on playstyle instead of alignment is horrible for town, and bulge is pushing you the most suspiciously.
But I thought I was scum for backing myself up? Now you want me to give more proof?

Also, there's nothing wrong with voting without explicitly pushing for a lynch, especially this early in the game.
Oh, Now I see why you ran the two spoilers. This makes NO sense next to what you said in the other one. I was "waiting for the opportunity to jump onto hayato's plan." Where does this opportunity come from if the strategy discussion stops?I still stand by the fact that these are weak-ass reasons. Night actions are extremely important, and we hadn't decided on anything. Only scum would want strategy discussion to stop.In post 65, Siveure DtTrikyp wrote:Here's what points to you being mafia.
1) Your "playstyle" seems to be trying to keep us with no player information, which is indicative of scum. We lose out a lot by discussing how we use the fruit all day then having to compromise deadline lynch, and you seem to have 0 intention of talking about anything but the fruit.
2) You've decided he's scum to be lynched really fast.
Okaay. I think I addressed the whole playstyle thing in last post. And this is ALSO confbias, if you're even town. What exactly are you addressing with this post? You have no idea what I meant by "weirds me out" do you? (Tbf, I'm not even 100% sure I get it. You're also not sure what I'm talking about with playstyle based on what you put into this case... so yeah, I really dislike that you're trying to wreck my arguments with my own arguments misapplied. Could give examples but too lazy atm.Glad you acknowledge your reasons are weak. "Weird" is not a scumtell. It is, believe it or not, a playstyle issue. If I'm not mistakenIn post 85, Siveure DtTrikyp wrote:Bulge might be scum I'm just worried I could be confbiasing it because some of his stuff weirds me out.I'm not, you strongly advocated against voting based on playstyle. And this is exactly what you're doing here.
Lol.Still don't understand this at all.

In post 45, Siveure DtTrikyp wrote:Hayato, we'll have 10 people tonight. If we make giving fruit optional we could get some people not using their fruit, we get some people recieving fruit from many people (some of which could be scum lying), and we could get one scum claiming to give fruit to the other. Sure there's some information in there, but there's a shit-ton of noise as well, so it's incredibly unlikely we get any useful information.
However, one mafia by themselves has issues. If we do get a mafia lynch today we can make it optional, I think.
So I was making it absolutely clear I wanted the compulsory plan and then I swapped out of nowhere?In post 51, Siveure DtTrikyp wrote:About your plan, not quite. Any two where one gave fruit to the other CAN be scum together because the first kills and claims giving fruit to the second.
So yeah, I'd say it should be optional if we lynch mafia today but not otherwise.

Why would scum try to push the optimal strategy? They wouldn't. If you think he [Bulge] "believes his strategy is optimal," then he would be siding with those pushing what he would think was the suboptimal strategy. I.e. your accusations towards the Bulge support him being town.

Considering you've spent much of the game voting with Siv...why do you think he is a good lynch?

I don't like how his opinion changes in mid text. "Your plan has holes." "Hmm...let me think." "Actually, your plan is OK". It feels like buddying. I don't know how else to describe this. Probably, the term "good cop, bad cop" fits here.
He says the other plan is better. Fake a thought process. And then says my plan is better. So that I feel happy....
