In fairness Stranger, you did vote hop from person to person (Including on myself) which felt opportunistic.
In fairness, those votes were more to try and get reactions out of people rather than to start a wagon to lynch. I would have absolutely unvoted Hockeyfan and Comp had other people jumped on voting them. As I've said before, my vote against you was a stupid mistake stemming from me being more used to Discord mafia where things move much faster, and me trying to keep up with things before I had to go into a court hearing (not mine, I work for a law office so I go to court hearings somewhat regularly
) - I know that's not the best explanation, but it's honestly what y'all are gonna have to believe.
Uhhhh who made a grand impassioned defense speech?
You and Timdood. That said,
There are some circumstances under which I'm willing to mislynch for information. I'm not sure really how I would define those circumstances though. Last game, for example, when weak claimed blocker. Was I convinced he was mafia because of his behavior? Not really, but I was willing to use a mislynch just because statistically, it was unlikely he was telling the truth.
As a player, I probably undervalue looking at voting patterns a little, so that could be a factor too. To be honest, I'm just not 100% sure how to answer your question.
This explains Tim's thought process to me a lot more clearly. I'm not fully convinced he's town yet, but I'll at least hold off from voting him for now.
Unvote
That said, I think where Tim and I's play style differs significantly is that I'm a lot more inpatient and tend to see lynching as a necessity. After all, we're not going to win just by standing by quietly and letting the mafia slowly kill us all, and so that's what I'm going to pursue. I honestly don't have much to go off of yet, but here's the leads that I do have.
Apologies for not being here for the end of the day - I was just really busy the whole weekend.
Although it isn't great that we didn't lynch yesterday (I would have placed my vote on tim to avoid nl if I had time), at least two of the dead players have only been villagers. Should increase our odds of getting mafia today I guess
I didn't see the tag I guess, it was a 24 hour event so at best I was able to skim read some of the posts.
Also out of tim and stranger, I don't want to lynch stranger yet, especially as she claimed she was kidnapped. I think its unlikely Mafia would have kidnapped on of their own the first night
Comp hasn't done much of anything to be honest, but the things he has said don't inspire a lot of confidence. For example, he said yesterday that he doesn't have much of an opinion after pinging Notme and Shadowdude for their opinions, which strikes me as an attempt to direct attention towards other players. He also mentioned that he would have voted tim if he hadn't been busy, which strikes me as being overly convenient for him, especially since he said shortly before the deadline that he wasn't willing to lynch until he heard some better arguments for lynching.
Also, this is much more of a stretch, but Brian was voting somewhat erratically early on yesterday as well. They very well could have been meme votes or something of that nature, but the first two people he voted against were Inffy and Alisha. He did very specifically go after Alisha for being 'uptight'. That could possibly mean that his death would help Alisha out if she were mafia, and it would (in theory) be easily forgotten about since it got buried in 20-something pages of posts yesterday.
Anyway, I'm going to try and be more patient now and not throw my vote there right away.
