Timezones are a huge burden on me. But that is still no excuse I guess, though majority here still seems GMT-6/8 ? Oh well... Anyway, your post says a lot of nothing except a very comprehensive summary of the game. Now, sure, I use those too to get my bearings on things. How about this. Can you explain to me why capt. h. is scum in 5 sentences or less? Concision is pro town (even if I find it hard to practice what I preach while catching up)
I got nothing to hide. I will explain this. It might be a very weird reason but the vote analysis still goes on for me.
First of all, Bardiche's post #178 says
"rdj, I have seen the light, I was touched by your excellence and am no longer convinced you're scum! ##UNVOTE"I was kind questioned by this reply. I backtracked to rdj's last post #138. But what is so excellent here? He self reflects on a few things and instantly becomes "clear". Furthermore, Rdj votes on capt h. but Bardiche actually votes on Zakeri because he needs to rage less? And right exactly after Serp has unvoted UK and voted Zakeri as well? I looked at the vote counts. There were 4 on Zakeri already and 3 on Capt h including Shadoweh.
The question now which puzzles in my head the entire time...
What is Shadoweh going to do. Somehow I was suspecting Shadoweh to vote for Zakeri as well. I am still waiting for it to happen. Especially that Conqueror changed his vote from Shadoweh to Zakeri as well because Shadoweh satisfied Conqueror with the explanation she gave and the reason given for Zakeri? A choice between Dormio and Zakeri, and Zakeri feels more scummy according to Conqueror. What?
I never understood the satisfactory element in her post. No matter how many times I see it, it doesn't make sense. That makes
5 votes already on Zakeri, like sudden.
For this reason, I voted capt. h. Just to see what was going to happen and prevent instant possible bandwagon jump for the remaining votes. Surprisingly, the people who I didn't expect questioned my vote suddenly: Which is UK
What I am wondering is, how many of the people who voted on Zakeri are already scum. My guess it, 2 scums are most likely sitting and waiting for the votecount to become 6+. If I would vote for Zakeri now, it would be the perfect opportunity for them. But before we can realise it, it might be too late.
Now you would say like:
"Wait a minute Helepolis, maybe YOU are just waiting for the 6th vote on Zakeri and then you will jump in with another scum!" No, because I am going to change my vote to either
Bardiche or
Shadoweh as soon as Shadoweh switches from capt h to Zakeri. What makes me wonder now the most is, why is Bardiche being heavily defended by Conqueror, Shadoweh and Bardiche himself. Also Serp has been quite silent to Capt h's vote on Bardiche's.
- Why did Conqueror got that easily satisfied by Shadoweh's post?
- How come Serp and Bardiche voted on Zakeri after Bardiche was "enlighted" by Rdj's weird post?
I have the feeling the trap has been already set up by the scums, just waiting for the final person to trip in. Zakeri is being framed by a clever grouping, except I cannot figure out who the grouping exactly is, but Shadoweh and one person's move will reveal it form.
Also the
biggest problem here is Neoserela's vote. It gives the people who want to get rid of Zakeri so hard extra advantage. And scums will take that advantage no matter what. This is perhaps unfair to Townies because we cannot talk to NeoSerela, we cannot ask his opinion and neither we can do anything.
In my previous vote I already questioned Bardiche. He does it again, the same behaviour but this time with support but the support goes like this : "why do you think he is scum?" Easy to ask others "what do you think" before giving your own statement first. That is like starting a discussion topic somewhere and saying
/discuss.
So yea, UK. Even though this Vote analysis is hard to do and not very newbie friendly, It somehow is becoming what I was expecting.
In #188, UK said this
"Though we have a problem. Both my suspects are the leading wagons. If I move to capt. h., I'll implicitly protect Zakscum. If I stick on Zak, I'm protecting Captain HScum here. For now, sticking on Zak. I do not necessarily find Zak scummier than capt. h. at this point."My biggest concern now: Who will change his vote from Capt h, to Zakeri or visa versa. That is my biggest concern. Serp questioning Capt h's vote on Bard. Conqueror doing the same. And what is Capt h going to do? Is he goign to stick on Bard? Or he is going to change vote as well.
So many possible scenarios, it makes me confused. And here I am trying to dig through several posts, trying to explain my motives but bloody time zones. Probably when I wake up tomorrow, It will be a whole different vote count.
For now, I am sticking with Capt h with my vote.
