apologies for nothing much of substance, SoD caught me at a bad time irl as i have plans i didn’t anticipate tonight.
some thoughts in no particular order:
Light: seems tonally fine, can’t find anything specifically wrong with his posts but there’s not much content either. something to pay attention to is just how much he directs his posts at me later, i know we meme but light will definitely try to pocket me as scum and i have my eye on him.
Arete: throwing their vote around quite a bit, i can’t say if this is AI of Arete in any way as this is my first time playing with them but i’m keeping it in mind. however i do like and agree with their Eli read. not sure if them wanting to give insanity a pass is a joke, but if it’s not i don’t think we should let anyone off for trying D1 as unfortunate as that is.
Eli: as noted, i agreed with Arete’s townlean on them. in both WYM and SFoL64 he was far more frozen and stilted, and barely posted at all. this is reminding me so far of Harry Potter Eli and if he keeps this up it’s a good look for him.
Surge: he noted that he was trying to change his meta, so i’m willing to give him a chance here if he doesn’t display the “traditional” town!Seth behaviours such as relentless tunneling. i like his aggressiveness in interacting with Arete specifically.
Alice: she rolled the neut. regardless though, i think the way she went about immediately confirming herself and the confidence in which she states her claim is towny. clearly she wouldn’t be a lynch either way but i’m noting this all the same.
(subsection- thoughts about Arete’s plan)
i really like the concept, if everyone were to buy a triplevote it would effectively strip scum of the opportunity to buy a Vigilante later in the game which obviously would be wonderful. there are already objections though such as Wazza, and this is an everybody-or-nobody plan.
