I don’t really like your logic on this one, mainly because you’ve gone from arguing that I’d be more defensive as scum to saying that I wouldn’t roll over as scum.
I'd definitely say at this point your leaning more into the roll over category, and there is reasons why m!whiteflame rolls over in some places, but would argue as in others (as you are doing now). While initially I think I was more shocked at the idea of you claiming over one vote, your rationalization for why you would do it kind of makes sense if you are actually telling the truth here. So I am picking and deciding to find it more weird that you don't seem to have a sense of direction for the game, and even are now not mentioning the moozer read or even sticking by that one, which was kind of what led me to suspect you in the first place.
I’m not exactly known for suggesting I should be any kind of priority when it comes to a lynch as scum, particularly not this early, but I guess it’s possible that I just eschewed my meta entirely. As for what I’d do as town here, I’ve already stated that I’m out of my depth on the theme and my strategy to use soft claims to get some ideas was already discarded. I don’t have much in the way of behavioral reads, so yeah, I’m not just going to pick someone else and try to divert attention when I’ve drawn it to myself with my claim.
So what happened with the moozer read? Did you change your mind on it?
As for rolling over, I would hope there’s a reason to push for more information than what I’ve provided. We don’t have a single other claim on the table and no one else apparently has any reason to pursue any kind of softclaim, and it seems like the scum hunting in this game is so far focused on using a few weak scumtells to pick targets for a claim. I wouldn’t mind that if the decision to sus certain players wasn’t treated as sus in and of itself.
Yes but you are a debater. Since when would you let me "bully" you out of a read if your read was genuine? You just typed out a paragraph to respond to me here, so your willpower to try and convince me is clearly not evaporated. When I started that pressure you could have responded to it by further justifying your read on moozer, why you think he is more likely to be scum, why maybe I am giving him too much of a noob pass or a mod psyche pass, etc etc. Instead you rolled over and claimed completely over one vote. While I am considering the reasons you mentioned town would do this, the lack of defense for your initial position made me assume you realized the read was also scummy, and was why you stopped pursuing it. In place of you stopping to pursue one read, I would have expected t!whiteflame to then prepare a new route for us to pursue, but it seems you have decided to entirely go on the defense here. I am really trying to understand this behavior from a t!whiteflame stance.
So if you’re asking me how I’d prefer to proceed at this point, I’d prefer to get a couple of other claims. I’m unclear on why Mharman is your choice, but I could see a case for Bullish or Moozer right now. I’m not writing up a set of reads because I’m going to sleep, but I can give more detailed thoughts as to why tomorrow.
I think getting at least one more targetted claim, not random would be wise. My choice for voting mharman was the same as for voting you, his choice in targeting moozer. He has since posted more reasoning for the lynch, so I will have to evaluate and see how natural it feels. I can see bullish here as he is a vet, and seems to have elected to mostly troll this game, which feels kind of unusual.
