Let’s see if DS left any clues as to where to go with this vote, and I’ll make some comments here and there about what I see from the both of you.
So one of the first things that DS did in this game (in #14) is attack Gtacc, saying that Gtacc had mostly avoided giving real content by posting about meta in his first post. He did the same with Beeboy, saying he wasn’t genuine, and placing a vote there. I was also Scum read (but only slightly) and Nanook was given a null reading.
Gtacc followed in also criticizing Beeboy, but frankly so did everyone - Beeboy’s entrance was weak and unconvincing. Gtacc also made a comment about how they prefer to distance as Scum - that would be unlike what I’ve seen you do this game, which is a bit more all over the place. Also, I did not pick this up the first time I read this post, but you were being cautious about giving the good Scum players Town reads - which is a positive point for you. Rich also had an early read of you as Town, for what it’s worth, but you didn’t return the favor in #24.
Nanook Scum read {Gtacc, Me, and MS} early in the game. Mostly MS though. As a side note, there was never much in the form of content from Nanook, which makes it hard to really make a convincing case either way. Given the format, I can understand why, but it leaves a lot of ambiguity.
DS tunneled Beeboy for a bit there, saying nothing about other players in #23.
Gtacc, you agreed with the slight Town lean on DS that Rich gave, and you Scum read Nanook based on content. I’ve already expressed my opinion on this, but I can see where you’re coming from.
I’ve been going in circles this game. From reading my #27 again, it’s mildly embarrassing.
@Gtacc, Rich came out swinging at you in #28, saying you had slipped as Scum. But he said the same thing about @Nanook, placing him even further down the list. Does that say anything to you?
#32 is what really should define this game. DS voted for Gtacc in that post, which Nanook already alluded to. Would a Mafia Goon vote the Godfather in this game? It’s an interesting gambit. This is the perfect distancing strategy, and it was done when most people were leaning quite negatively on MS. Would I do it? No, I don’t think I would, unless the circumstances were just right. The risk/reward just isn’t there for me, unless you have some near certainty that it won’t cost you the game. @Nanook, why are you so sure DS wouldn’t do it? If DS is as good a Scum as people seem to imply, you don’t think they could pull this off? Like I said, I wouldn’t do it, but maybe DS would.
As a side note, MS calling me a huge suck for Town reading Rich and Beeboy is definitely funny.
Day 2 circled mostly around DS/Rich, so I’ll get back to it later but there’s only valuable content in the first post I think. DS was skeptical of me very early there actually, saying that I was being hedgy. Needless to say I disagree, since you know, if I hadn’t voted among them two (Rich/MS) they both would have been lynched and we would have lost the game right there (hindsight is 20/20, but surely you have to make a choice there). DS also Town read Nanook in that post - and this also gives me pause because if you’re going for the win and you’re the Mafia Goon, it makes sense to give the Godfather a Town read there.
I’ll keep going with some more thoughts next post, as I clearly ran out of space. I can’t say that I’m set on where I want to go with this yet. Will keep reading.
