There's been a couple posts saying this, but I disagree. Having votes in thread benefits the village much more than elims. If we don't hold people accountable to posting their opinions, they can vote whoever and make their reasonings up retroactively. It makes it harder for elims to defend teammates and push misexes

I agree with TUM here.

[Doc12]

I don't think anyone is actually v!reading me apart from a semi derp clear from Aman and vibes from Twin TUM and Wahr seem happy to exe me.

I've been saying this in the Slytherin PM, but currently my focus is trying to get people to commit to votes. I've shared where my negatives are going. Willing to rescind on TJ and TUM since they've actually showed up and said things. Would still like to see TJ's reads when you get the time (unless you e!read me in which case keep it to yourself ) 

Current likes are Mist, Aman

Neutral space 1 in that they've spoken but left no impression on me: Wahr, Qian, TJ, Araris, Mippo, Twin, TUM

Neutral space 2 because unwilling to exe for new/returning: Miss Fallen, Ink, Grass, Mint, Emperor 

Current negatives are: Worldhopper, Coco. Just because I know how good an elim game Coco can play and want to coax some opinions out of her

articulate said vibes?

its C1, nobody knows anything, all we have our vibes

so no I can't unfortunately give anything concrete

but if theres two elims in Slytherin, I don't think voting for Slytherins is a bad idea (yeah ik no house loyalty lol)

each of them sees slightly off, Coco seems to eager to be a prefect while not rly standing out like a leader to me, Wahr and TUM both are just giving off rly strange vibes

well +3 doc is simple, 1) I like Doc's vibes, which to be fair is pretty simple, and as well as their RP and seeing as we have no concrete info, why not?

im liking Mists vibes this game and verdance as well

so there we go

vibes articulated in a thoroughly unhelpful way  

Ftr this is infinitely more useful than a naked vote all vibes come from somewhere, and the main reason it's good to explore these vibes deeper is that it helps us understand your mindset.

I will now note publicly that I noticed Twin had only posted once N0 and 10 times within the first 26 hours of this turn. My pet theory is that he's more active because of an alignment shift. Was planning to sit on it longer to see if I can get e!Twin to spew, but I do want more thoughts on him since atm he is the best -3 vote I can personally justify atp

I also wanted to sit on it because I don't love the idea of voting people for increased activity alone, otherwise we risk discouraging activity

I mean, that could just be due to the fact that we couldn’t do much during cycle 0. You say that you will “note publicly now,” why now? Why not before?

I'm here, don't worry, but about to go on a long drive. Spring break though, so I'll probably be much more active in this game.

I'll also add that I found Twin's burst of activity unusual given his inactivity in LG110, however in that scenario he did pinch hit into a more complicated game than he perhaps expected, so I left that out of my initial post.

ED1T:

That and I didn't love him joining me on -3 Wahr or putting -2 on TUM. If both are village, those were both votes I'd expect elims to latch onto given my pushes so far

ED2T:

I also noticed he had 3 negatives but only 1 positive decided which could potentially suggest he's reserving buffs for teammates and more concerned with consolidating negatives on villages

also, everyone, when voting, don’t give your prefect your +3. It’s a waste of extra credit if a prefect gets it.

That's a theory for sure. Here's another data point - you had 2 posts C0 and over 20 C1  C0 lasted less than 12 hours, so really not sure why that's something worth zeroing in on. 

Why is Twin your most suspicious? Plenty of other people have had pickups in activity. I liked your activity of poking quiet people to get responses, but this vote isn't really to get a response, is it? 

Edit: Aww you're attaching more reasons in edits now my question seems moot I'll accept that those are better reasons than just a burst of activity.

As for the rest, I am only considering Slytherin candidates for my -3 atm

I have crossed Qian, Araris, Wahr, coco, and you off, which only leaves TUM (which I felt hit a C1 dead-end by my calculus + he is potential low-hanging-fruit like Wahr, though Twin arguably is too). Otherwise there's just Coma, and I'd rather we get a pinch hitter than do Contribution Crusading.

Ravenclaw is not currently active enough that I can confidently vote any over another. I don't know Mippo well enough so am reticent to D1 them

What's making you cross Coco off specifically? I know you're derp-clearing Qian, and Araris has responded to your poke, so I'm just wondering what's helping you v!read Coco because I have not gotten anything off her. 

I will say, this might be me reading too much into things, but Coco being confused about who claimed Ravenclaw sounded genuine. Not alignment indicative yet, just interesting. 

Emperor has popped up once in our PM, but yeah, nothing in thread since sign up, but again, new. Giving them at least a cycle of not being voted on.

This game gives me major LG104 vibes, which is why I wouldn't put it out of the realm of possibility that Archer would have done a TJ and put all evil players in one group :P. 

I have no idea what any of this means... 

Ehhh, I disagree, because assuming Archer would have pity is dangerous by itself. Bunching up elims does end up nerfing them in terms of information as they have access to lesser number of Houses but I adjusted that by adding an extra elim, so it was 5 elims in an 18 player game. granted 5 elims in a 17 player game WITH the rule about parity wincon is highly unlikely but just putting this out there anyway. 

Besides, trying to outguess GMs is always a bad idea and delving into elim number combination within groups is also a dangerous game, so I'll just call it as I see it in-thread. 

Gahh, I hate derpclears so muchh smh >> But I think the fact the Aman immediately turned it around and treated it as a reaction test comes from a villager-y mindset. Village-lean. 

I think Araris having a base reluctance to exe anyone in itself is weird, but considering it's 2 players who are neither new nor returning, I think it deserves mentioning. Elim lean. 

Ah, I see I'm not the only one in flashbacks. 

You seem to have forgotten that I was MIA for basically 1.5 Loops :P. Apparently, Slow Start is my MO. 

Regarding Ravenclaw, Hopper does seem to be overeager to get the Prefect role. I was just pondering whether just voting Ms. Fallen for Prefect was the best idea here as I was again drawing parallel to LG104 where Drake elected a new player (sorry, I'm not able to recall the name as a Sitter and then they won the Amyrlin Seat election and basically won the game for the village. This is also based statistically off the fact the debut players tend to rarely get elim-randed. I do admit to have a blindspot when it comes to new players, so I'm not really sure who to vote for Prefect, which is why Ms. Fallen seems like a better option of the 3.  

Other stuff - agreed with the village on Mistfallen and Qian. Not sure what the TUM case was, so let me just re-read. 

I don't think we can try to guess a distro here. I would attribute equal likeliness to 2/2 and 2/1/1, probably about 60-70% its one of those, then 20-40% for both 1/1/1/1 and 4.

Not a v!read necessarily, I am just giving her (and you) more room to breathe C1, given you were both evil last game and I believe I know some of your tells (only a theory until fully tested when dealing with fog of war). I also feel e!Coco has more potential to spew alignments given high e!activity trends and therefore would rather pursue that slot after 1-2 cycles

Aww thanks  also very valid

Current thoughts are I feel like some of what Aman is saying is a bit off—kinda feels performative rather than genuine (the vote thing especially with saying you’re voting for one person and then saying you may not actually be voting them). 
@Amanuensis I’m curious what you think you can get out of this, as my understanding is that we will know all of your votes by next cycle, and therefore who your actual susses and clears are. Trying to throw off the elims with this will only work for the first cycle, so what’s the point?

Will post more (and more in depth) later after I’m off work. I have thoughts but so far I’ve just been spending my breaks catching up instead of writing posts lol.

As I said before, I am not good with social reads, so I will be able to give more Analysis once there are mechanical Informations for me to Analyse. 

I do not like that we only know who each Player voted for, once the Day is over, so anything that is said in thread regarding Votes is unreliable. Though I do agree with TUM that having acountability would probably be usefull for the village.

My curent Minuses, are Twin and Araris (I do not understand their suspicion of me) a well as Doc (experience shows that he is not to be trusted 100% of Games, not ounting this one, has had him as an elim who took advatage of my trusting nature)

For my Pluses I am thinking TUM (because I like the idea of acountability) the other Pluses I am not sure about yet.

Still need to figure out in what order I would place them

Alright

I don't want to derp clear Qian, just because his interaction seems to be valid and I've seen derpier derps than him

I don't want to go either way on Aman, because the absolute volume of analysis could be, as coco says, performative, but could also be just genuine analysis. Though, I don't like him crossing people off just to "give them space C1" 

I want to go v! on doc, but last experience has made me wary

V! on mist, seems appropriately inquisitive

I like tj's tone. Not much to go off of there tho

Haven't thought yet abt my votes.

Elims benefit most from an uncoordinated village. This is our mortal enemy.

Elims also benefit from being able to predict expulsions, however. If we publicly coordinate on an elim, they can privately coordinate to save them. If we publicly coordinate on a villager, they can remain passive and let us exe ourselves without revealing themselves. I want to avoid a passive elim team at all cost.

It's C1 so we are all shooting at fish in a barrel. There's no mechanical evidence to latch onto, so our only tool currently is social interaction. As there are no public votes this makes it very hard to gather pairings (like the one that linked you to Burnt)

In normal games, I am known for having volatile, exploratory votes to maximize data points, especially near EoDs when people are most active and high-strung.

Let's imagine a scenario where Twin/TUM/Wahr are V/V/E in some combination. Let's assume we all consolidate on the wrong one without exploration of the others. This allows elims to skate.

However, by planting the seed in the doubt of elims while one of them is in danger, they may begin to panic / spiral (you should know this feeling well :p) which leaves them open to making mistakes or overextending themselves.

As for what happens C2, I look at the flip and the votes and I adjust my reads, then do the same thing again. Except maybe this time the elims think I will not actually vote my top public suspicions like C1, at which point I can manipulate them again by doing the opposite.

Eliminators hate unpredictable villagers. Think about how worried y'all were D3-C, when the game was decided on a single exe. In my ideal world, the elims should feel that every day.

My goal, as always, is to be as loud and annoying as possible, hoping to bait an NK. 

I will just keep doing these mind games until I am dead. Where my C1 votes are revealed C2 is irrelevant, because C2 we are voting again

I am unfortunately a pragmatist in this. I have players I consider to possess high clutch potential or late game solving ability, or who I personally solve well with when V/V, so I usually extend them a grace period early in the game. If I have a choice between losing v!Araris or v!Twin on C1 and don't have solid evidence (by my personal measure) against Araris, I will vote Twin most of the time. I also am confident in my ability to head fake elims and wrestle control from them. Similar to my philosophy on voting, an elim team that is free to pick any NK they want without much risk is an elim team with the advantage. My goal is to keep them backfooted always

Honestly you can put negatives on me. I don't mind any of the penalties. I was actually going to leave the game last minute but I liked the characters too much so decided to aim for a short run. I would always prefer soaking an NK but I am trying to not get mad when I get ML'd anymore

I see this and raise you the fact that I stay off the Shard in school by philosophy, Wednesday is school night, Friday night is no school  Also the game energy really kicks in C1, since theres nothing to solve C0 as no alignments

I don't think ive mentioned this in thread, but the reason why I'm so active this game vs LG110 is mainly becuz I've kinda been in a rut/burnt out the last few SE games, and I felt ready to return, hence activity

 

hmm

idk

I feel like at a certain point we start chasing our tails without exes and votes, that being said, I don't like Aman's vibes, tho there is a very good chance its relataliatory bias, so my rankings look like thus

Lowest: Wahr

Second Lowest: TUM

3rd Lowest: Aman

3rd highest: Through the Living Grass

2nd highest: Mistfallen

1st highest: Doc

yes there is very heavy bias and vibes here, nothing concrete
