I read up on SB's D3 but mostly looked at the parts that pertained to me, which is most of it tbf.
I think it's entirely ok to be disconcerted by my progression D2 unto Duskfall and off from Shadoweh. I don't have much of a good reason for it aside from what I remember of Shadoweh's meta, and I can't expect that alone to sway anyone's opinion.
Multiple people now have commented that my decision to vote Dusk D2 was "trolly" (Conq) or "strange" (Nuxl), and I can understand that perception. But I didn't vote Dusk on a whim, I did so because I thought he had a better chance to be scum than shadoweh, and her town flip, and Dusk's D3 play, absolutely justify that vote even if people don't find my D2 motivation satisfactory.
Dan and Niek both coming out of nowhere to vote Duskfall is kinda interesting though when neither really has much of a case beyond what they posted before. Dan, what do you think of Duskfall's most recent posts? Who would you be voting for if not for Duskfall and why? I'd actually like to extend this question to Niek too.
Which posts are these? In anycase no post of his has given me pause to consider him as town. Beyond my observations I made in
#1929 I think his inclinations to even attempt to pursue scumhunting (which I never thought there was much of anyway) has declined, and his culmination with a vote on me without a hint of legwork was expected as well.
I'd be voting Niektory if not Duskfall. There's a couple places in their posts that are scummy and I've detailed them previously. Beyond that I'm not sure. I need to read Nuxl's stream of consciousness large wallpost which I never like doing, but he's a read I need to flesh out because what I've seen so far was unimpressive. I am starting to get worried about Serela's posts today. I don't mind that he apparently has townreads on everyone and I think sees equity in my lynch... but I do have posts today at least and I'm not even sure Serela has read any while voting me. I'd just like some assurance he's done that (also NNR too if possible)
Now.
Sb what did you mean when you said when referring to me:
That's because it isn't a scumread? It's an added benefit that I only expanded on in response to Conq. My real problem with Dan is that when he vanishes for several days at a time he somehow arrives at phase end with totally different vote (all day on Shadoweh, then voting Duskfall with Shadoweh), and that he only appears when pressured so like... taking the pressure off of him means he just gets to fade off into the background again. The only explanation he gave later for Duskfall over Shadoweh was that he just started to townread Shadoweh more later but he couldn't explain why, which is the safest explanation you could possibly give? I also read his posts and don't really know what he wants to do today beyond the Duskfall vote, honestly, which isn't a good luck considering how his reads have flipped already once.
Because this
looks like a scumread to me, or the implication of one. I can understand the desire to pressure, but if this isn't a scumread and you're voting me still... does that mean (like serela apparently) you don't actually scumread anyone in the game?
You also mentioned self-meta breifly. I just want to say that that wasn't intended to be a defense of my play of any kind. Just an explanation for what people are seeing considering I felt obligated to post something after Dormio's posts.
I did on d1, yeah. Also I appreciate the defense, Dan but it kinda feels like you just tried to crawl up my ace of spades with that entire post. What have been your thoughts on me outside of smartbomb's post on me?
I have had none D1/D2. I just never bothered to look at you seriously, and that's not unique to you, I hadn't got around to really looking at Dormio/NNR/Zwerd/Refa/Nuxl at all. Today, my first post was looking you/Dusk/Nuxl/Niektory more throughly before Smartbomb cased you. Your section was brief but in essence I thought you looked town.
@Nuxl:
I don't know why Niek voted Duskfall of all people, and Dan's vote isn't really doing anything given deadline is soon.
Who should I be voting for? iirc at the time My wagon was at 3 while everyone elses was at 2 or below. And all those wagons were people I thought were town/townish. I think Dusk is by far the best bet to flip scum here and it's not like multiple wagons of 2-3 preclude Dusk gaining momentum with more than a day left. I find this oddly dismissive.
