Sub exists in a weird space. They are essentially afk from voting for the first two days, both times the town has an unfavorable day phase. I can't tell if its because sub is mafia, and doesnt want to add to the dogpile of a mistake and doesn't want to start a new train, or they are actually super busy. I know I'm critiquing sub for the same thing im doing, but I know I actually was busy though you all obviously can't know that. Further they then lead with an aggressive vote, one I encouraged to be fair, but after failing to place a vote or placing a vote and then leaving for 2 days in a row it feels out of character. Plus I obvious know I'm town and blah blah blah that whole shtick. But this comes after me reading sub as pretty towny for a while, so it all kinda cancels out a little?
"Further they then lead with an aggressive vote [...] it feels out of character"
The change is because all this time I have been in the dark about where to poke. If you look at my readlists, n- was at the bottom for the first two days, with only 2 inhabitants. Now I finally have people at w, so I am going after them. Nothing is final though, so I am trying my best to listen to everyone, in case I notice something that seems relevant.
But as you said, you speak of some double standards ("I know I'm critiquing sub for the same thing im doing"). But maybe you felt the same way about my activity as I feel about you now ("I know I actually was busy though you all obviously can't know that." Plus I was super stressed because of work too, so I played a lot of Minecraft and board games instead of focusing my attention here).
That makes a lot of sense kae, I was just trying to do something similar, but you not only beat me to it, but color coded it too lmao
This part also struck me with a "not-you" feeling. What kaempfer did seems like a monstrous amount of work, not something I would expect from kdz (no offense, you just seem more laid-back than that). And you showed no signs that you plan to do something similar until you got today's first vote. I almost smell some role-play in that sentence.
If you are wolf, you are probably defending yourself. But if you are Town, you are probably feeling OMGUS now and feel the need to retaliate.
I agree with the poking in the dark, I was soft on activity at first, but as my activity increases, so has my presence/understanding and my W reads.
out of game - Dude I get it, sometimes you just need to play minecraft and 70 posts in one day is like, a fucking lot. I hope things are going okay at work and the stress stops soon mate.
On making a list like Kae - You are exactly right, I was looking at individual voting patterns, I wasnt going to make a list, but I wanted to highlight a few people's votes. However, I Was getting bored and didn't really want to continue, lucky lucky kae posted a nice and clean list that made the work I had already done irrelevant and made the future work I was trying to do incredibly easy lmao. I couldnt have asked for it a better format either.
in regards to OMGUS - I've tried to be aware of the retaliatory spirit that is pretty ingrained in how I play shit, and I acknowledge this in my "I think rob is not town, but also thats probably because they just want to murder me" comment. But no, I don't think you are wrong to vote on me. I've been inactive, and I have been fairly low contribution, which is what a mafia member would probably do on purpose. I've been doing it purely due to circumstance, but now that those circumstance are closed I am here now, and this time i'm trying to maintain a level of activity and contribution (because the two aren't the same) that will actually provide help.
