And no elim gives 25 voting options besides straight up not voting. Go find someone else to be sus of. Voting for Raccoon just because the majority are or Tangle is (I know you're thinking that lol) doesn't mean you should to.

[/quote] this feels slightly disingenuous. like yes sheeping bad, but "there are 24 of us" is not an accurate representation of what it means to vote for a candidate whose flip could be red or would actually say something valuable. many of those 24 have only spoken between one and three times and we're 6 hours from eod. pivoting IS hard. if we were voting randomly, yeah there are 24 of us. not how it goes tho. that being said, i'd love to get peoples' thoughts on the potential of a no elim vote if we keep feeling conflicted, and if raccoon makes a convincing claim. i think that's a very viable path considering we have to be extra cautious of elims in this game with the lovers mechanic. [/quote] Normally I'm pro d1 elim but yeah with the lovers. There's a point there. I wouldn't like to elim someone who's been doing good just on accident [/quote] I guess, hmm, if we end up picking one of the quieter people and their lover is active in the chat. Please speak up, I wouldn't want to eliminate someone who's been contributing stuff just by accident. I'm not gonna go no elim unless I truly don't think there are any non-bad options.

@ArtMajor I was asleep for a lot of that time and the time I wasn't, I was busy with other things and trying to catch up. I don't really have fully updated thoughts atm because I skimmed the thread without taking notes and I have to go in a bit. I can give you a wip vibe/readlist, but it's not much at the moment.


3 ppl you feel good about

I'll get back to you on that.

3 you wanna look at (a bit outdated because my reasoning has to do with the mod elim conversation, but that gives me a reason to look into them more when I have the time)

Syl
Spider

Spider’s reply here came across as a bit hedgy to me, and Syl’s gave me an odd vibe.


Potato Was originally on here, but crossed it off to let her prove herself.

It seems like people are okay with voting Raccoon for no good reason (i.e. because everyone else is) and not considering anyone else. I'm just trying to point out the voting pool isn't limited to four people.

Alright, back for a few hours before my exam. I don't have too much new stuff to say, and don't think I'll be changing my vote at this point, so I'll just respond to the couple pokes coming my way. [quote name="ChaoticPotato" date="2024-04-18 11:56:29" ] I don't know? Like I know I'm still getting sus vibes from Spider bc they kinda just. Dipped. But I'm still looking through the player list. Tbh if I'm voting an inactive I might just roll a dice bc that'll get about the same result as doing it logically [/quote] Is there something you want me to address in particular? I felt like I explained my vote pretty well so took a break to do some other stuff. Actually for that matter, I've made it pretty clear I'm voting Raccoon for my own reasons that aren't directly tied to just "being defensive" (nothing wrong with defending yourself, obvs, I just didn't find it convincing enough to switch over to anyone else) nor am I following Tangle's vote exactly. If I'd liked your initial defense, I wouldn't have followed Tangle cause town or not I know they can be wrong. [rule] [quote name="EmbertheSkywing" date="2024-04-18 12:36:49" ] Spider’s reply here came across as a bit hedgy to me, and Syl’s gave me an odd vibe. [/quote] My intro post? Which part is hedgy exactly? I'm just answering the icebreaker questions there. I guess maybe my modelim stance is a lil shaky but I'm not the only one to say similar things (ie. not looking for modelim unless we have no other options) [rule] I also wanna say just for the record that I don't think voting no elim is a good idea. We have so many players that not whittling down the list (aside from maf kills) is likely just gonna leave us with similar candidates and the same problem tomorrow. Since maf is unlikely to use their night kill on someone we're thinking of voting off anyway.

And also idk how impactful a pressure vote is at this point cause it's not gonna actually put him in any real danger? So it's not a particular risk for either you or them. Not really anything to squint at, but just curious why Cap over any of the other inactive ppl. Random pick, or do you have another reason?
