The second post however, I don't quite like. I already explained how the Alit vote wasn't exactly piling on nor easy. Plus he says that funnier agreed that Alit would be an easy scum lynch but kept going with his vote. But funnier said that after the day had 'ended' (before the day end post), so he couldn't exactly switch then. Funnier voted Alit, then presumably went to sleep, then Tristan posted some stuff and I voted Alit before eod.
Also, why would you be uncomfortable with votes "piling" on Alit when it was clear that Contrainer was going to be lynched? The only reason someone would be uncomfortable would be if Alit is scum and you're his scum partner. Because as we know now as well, Contrainer wasn't scum.
You might be right about the first part, I honestly don't really remember when exactly it was he said that.
On the second part, though, it made me uncomfortable because it read like trying to find an alternate wagon for the sake of staying off the "easy" one to avoid being scumread later. I've done it before as schm, and so have so many others, it's quite common. Your vote moreso than funnier's since it came so late in the day and just seems relatively pointless looking back. So it's really more the timing of the votes than the votes themselves. Am I wrong? Probably. That's mostly where I was coming from though.
First post I don't like of Johnny's. Claiming doesn't benefit scum if it's NAI. What's it going to do, possibly give them maybe some idea of flavor just like townies would get as well? The reason Tristan and I said claiming would be helpful is for the 3rd day when townies have to try and vote another townie to use their final smash. We have to vote someone we can trust and someone who we think would have the best smash to use. So I wanted people to claim before mafia could potentially come up with a plan to fakeclaim (even if it weren't super likely).
I agree with you in that the claims were good to get out of the way early so as not to waste time on day 3. However, I think I understand where Johnny is coming from. The mafia obviously know which characters are town (or at least not mafia) and can use this to weed out who would be stronger and who could potentially have abilities that are dangerous to them. They could use the name claims to determine their kill priority and who to use their other abilities on. I think it's a little bit of a stretch, mind you, since character abilities probably aren't that predictable, but I can understand what he was saying.
That being said, it's worth noting that Johnny was among those of us who claimed when it was all happening during day 1, and then he says that.
I already discussed the first part a bit about how funnier agreed with you after day had already ended and was in twilight. But Contrainer also seems like someone who is often an easy scum read later, as well as an easy mislynch. So why wouldn't someone go with the person who seems off rather than someone who seems like they're acting like usual?
Like I said before, for me it came down to a player I know how to read vs one I don't. I didn't know enough about Contrainer's playstyle to know what kind of behavior was AI for him, so in that case I just took his Day 1 at face value. Alit, on the other hand, while his day 1 was scummy, he's a player I'm more familiar with and I knew his behaviour could have been coming from town alit or scum alit. That was the reason I chose Contrainer over him.
Looking back, was the Contrainer lynch a very obvious easy mislynch bait? Yes, I'll concede that. But I hope you can understand a little why I didn't vote alit over him.
I didnt find Contrainer scummy. I did find ALIT's post AI. Of course I want to lynch ALIT over Contrainer despite agreeing he gets easier to read with time. Whats so hard to understand?
I get it. I hope my brief explanation above can give you a little bit better of an idea as to what I was trying to say though.[/QUOTE]
