every step I take, every move I make, every single day, every time I pray?

Oh can't you see, you belong to him; how his poor heart aches, with every step you take.

I've got a bit of a gut feeling, but I think Blaze feels like confused town. His arguments don't necessarily make sense but there's a sense of belief in what he's saying. Will keep watch on him though as the game goes on.

The point of the game is to vote the people you suspect. It doesn’t matter what time in the game you suspect them lol. I don’t get this arbitrary time rule you’re making up, doesn’t make any sense.

I disagree the point of the game is to vote people you suspect, it's to catch and vote out non-town. And I'm not making any time rule up, nor is it arbitrary. The quicker day phases are, the less time town have to think about things and lynch correctly. Rushing a phase is more beneficial for scum than it is town.

TBF, just because it doesn't read fake to you, is that alignment indicative? I don't really see Lethal of all people showing patience as something of a real meta that could be tied to either alignment.

If I don't think he's faking his story, that means I don't think he's lying, which is a good sign.

So only vote unless it's a vote to lynch? I don't recall you ever playing like that. No one has even close to half to lynch rn and I don't remember you ever calling out early votes just for being early and not on their content like this

TBF, I'd blame those that start spamming votes after the early votes more than I would those that vote early.

You aren't beholden to vote alongside early voters and you don't have to throw down your vote quickly, so doing so as the middle or late voters I'd say is even more suspect than an early one.

His “joke” vote, which maybe he does a lot. But I think he did it to see if he can get traction with it. He didn’t, so he jumps to Jeff. Maybe person to person was a bad way to word it. But yeah he wants to see who he can get traction with.

From memory yeah, he does do it a lot - it's not something that's alignment indicative from my experience. I didn't take the Jeff post seriously. Blaine is a good early mislynch candidate, which is why I'm saying we shouldn't rush this phase.

There's a good mix of experienced players and newbies here, mislynches could be a lot easier for scum to achieve as the new players aren't as familiar with metas/previous games.

That's not what I'm saying, I think I've already said I have no issues with early votes. What pinged me is him trying to bait Jeff into voting and it hasn't sat right with me.

 

[Evans]

The reason it's not hypocritical is the same answer for this: early votes are fine & dandy, I don't like people pressuring to vote early. It seems like they're trying to rush something.

yeah here @Chris

 

[Chris]

Blaine does open with joke votes almost every game yeah, he even went through a few where he'd vote me whether I was actually playing or not lol

 

[Chris]

yeah here @Chris

Fair enough

it’s not rushing anything if you’re allowed to change your vote, why are you not able to comprehend this?

 

[Bobby Barrows]

I'd also say that, as a matter of personal experience, I've seen plenty of town players try to rush phases. So I don't really see it as something to go off. We don't know August's meta as scum or town so it's not really indicative of anything.

Yeah you're not understanding what I'm saying. Not sure why. I'm happy with my vote.

Not looking to lynch the guy yet, just happy to push that direction out of anyone else atm.

The reaction to my posts has helped solidify it for me.
