I mean, I explained my vote RF. I'm voting Blarg for his day end antics.
To Ty4on, I followd the day end very closely. I believe Blarg might have been able to re-tie it had he shifted targets at the last second, so I sat ready to switch right at the end so it wouldn't matter what he did.
At that point, I didn't care who got lynched. SkyOdin was clearly town right at the end there, barely anything for Star. Either one would have been fine, momentum was of course on SkyOdin.
So yes, I had my post pretyped and ready to go as Blarg and I earlier stated, but to say that it was just so I could save Star is an extreme stretch.
If SkyOdin was
clearly town to you, why would you lynch him? Why are people afraid of a tie? If we had tied, we would be up one player right now. I actually thought SkyOdin was scum. I had planned to save him with forcing a tie. However, what town player would vote for themselves with 2 minutes remaining when they could tie and still live? He was barely a lynch candidate, didn't go through the day fighting for his life, and there's no reason to believe his momentum for a lynch stretched far beyond the pool of current voters. This is what allowed me to let him die. I thought it was some kinda gambit meant to invoke hesitation. I didn't think he was clearly town, but anyways.
The reason it wasn't you that was lynched was just because SS named SkyOdin as the person she'd rather want lynched. I bandwagoned SS as a foil to the momentum. With all of the low votes going around, I didn't think it was likely we had nailed scum. You were clearly the easiest target to lynch at the time, so if SS was naming the unlikely lynch as a lynch candidate it's a lot bolder of a move. That's what lead me to lean town on SS for that moment at least.
Anyways, those are smaller things that I've wanted to say out of a larger point. I'm having a lot of trouble understanding what was going through your mind.
It's interesting in the comment above that you defend StarSketch as a null.
Vote: StarSketch
Of course I'm not letting town lynch me day 1, I've waited like 3 seasons for this game.
Your vote reasoning for SS was initially self-preservation. However, at the time XamtheKing was tied with top votes among a few other candidates who were really close. So, you had a pick of the liter and the ability to lead a crucial decision. In regards to last day's lynch, you were the player who took the critical role of deciding the #1 lynch candidate among a few choices. You chose StarSketch.
At that point, I didn't care who got lynched. SkyOdin was clearly town right at the end there, barely anything for Star. Either one would have been fine, momentum was of course on SkyOdin.
No, "At that point, I didn't care who got lynched" is incorrect. Let's re-phrase that, as you've admittedly never cared who got lynched to
begin with. Your vote on StarSketch was claimed as self-preservation. "At that point," doesn't make any sense. You didn't help us dig through the dirt to find scum, you dodged a bullet.
This is further shown by this comment that you had "barely anything for Star". You had no conviction behind Star being scum. You obviously didn't think she was scum, as at the end of the day you then changed your vote over to someone who you've called
clearly town. So, from this we can demonstrate that your initial vote onto StarSketch was also done because you didn't care who got lynched. When you were choosing a target at the
inflection point , you placed a vote on a target that you had a null read on. Enough of a null read, to then switch the vote over to someone who was
clearly town.
Vote: StarSketch
Of course I'm not letting town lynch me day 1, I've waited like 3 seasons for this game.
No, using both commentary directly from you and by elaborating on your opinions at the end of the day, I've shown that you were always indecisive about the lynch and there was no point in which you suddenly said "fuck it". You were never that emotionally invested in the lynch to begin with. So let's rephrase that quote of yours some.
I didn't care who got lynched.
You never cared who got lynched. Why then did you choose her over someone like Xamtheking at the inflection point? Did you think Xamtheking was town?
It looks to me like you are caught following the momentum twice, for no strategic purpose other than self-survival and to increase the lynch count. The first time, you voted for someone you didn't care about for survival purposes. However, it's the second vote that is hard for me to understand. Was it really that important for you to prevent this tie?
I didn't care who got lynched. SkyOdin was clearly town right at the end there, barely anything for Star. Either one would have been fine, momentum was of course on SkyOdin.
Look at how scummy that sounds. Did you sideline a bunch of other plausible lynch candidates to survive (when you initially voted for StarSketch) just so you could bandwagon on her lynch momentum, and then after you've made it safely through the day's lynch you then refuse to let two people you were reading null/town tie. Like, what the fuck am I reading? Why didn't they just go to a tie and we have a no lynch? Instead you decide to lynch someone who was
clearly town?
