actually I take that back it totally is mechanically optimal
I’m 4-shot, I sort of slipped that earlier when I was talking to Mist
I think the “mechanically optimal” play is to figure out who in the PoE I can most confirm by checking them as fitting in their portion of the alignment chart, have me check them tonight, and then vote me out tomorrow [like obviously I don’t want to be voted out, but I acknowledge that particularly if Derps is W we’re close to mechlock anyways]
someone’s probably going to be like ‘ooOOo Arete is trying to buy a day!!!’ which, like, cool! you are welcome to think that! in worlds where you are right, which you aren’t, you achieve the same result by letting me get one more check off
the reason it was long was because … it was doing other things … like say for example discussing what Wind spew meant for other people who are not named SirDerpsAlot
when you say it like that you’re implying ‘ooooh Arete wrote a giant post defending Derps! Arete wolf! even though Derps hasn’t flipped yet!’ rather than ‘Arete wrote a big post that did many things, some of which were defending Derps’
like admittedly I did also write a giant post defending Derps but that was later
