Bottom to top this time. Should be better.
greeklover: Agree with part 1, it's either dedoporno or RW, but not both, ...
Disagree with part 2, I prefer Scene as a chancellor ... If there is a conflict between RW and Scene I would like to know it as soon as possible.
Pretty much agreed just I don't trust RW as much as you do. Appreciate your point that it would be valuable to contrast the earlier Scene/RW gov with a potential RW/Scene gov.
At this time I can hardly imagine something happening that would change my intended votes. Yes to dedo/Scene. If that fails Yes to RW/whoever - but if he does not choose Scene I will find it super scummy.
RWarehall: All other combinations are still ... possible including Scene-Hitler, me-fascist, but the group should have learned something from it.
Indeed. You didn't really need that weasel word. ;)
Lifthrasil: So, conclusion: if you think that
at least one of ZFR or Scene is a fascist, you should also be suspicious of those who voted Yes. If you think that ZFR and Scene are both liberal, look for the fascists among the No-voters.
Will need to read better and follow through the logic. Appreciate the summary and for me it's the former (bolded) - that being ZFR.
Lifthrasil: ... if you become president and we want to go the 'minimal number of presidents' route, then the next president would have to be Brasas. ...
Im not that sure about Brasas anymore. The very late vote in the last round did look weird, ... Also 'NO' as default doesn't really help town. It also isn't exactly fascist. It's just not very useful and @Brasas, I would ask you to drop that strategy. IMO each vote should be a case by case decision ...
Lots of meat here. This might be a bit disjointed as I thought through the reply earlier and don't want to spend as long now. Sorry... it will also be blunter.
A) +1 to avoid power play. Scene is the obvious play as chancellor regardless of president.
B)
1 - my self interest in being in a gov is NAI (not alignment indicative). I would lie if I said that has no weight to my vote, but really, I have nothing much for or against dedo, but I have against ZFR and I start distrusting RW more.
2 - late vote my ass. I voted as I said I would and indicated in advance I would likely boycott the vote until others had participated in the discussion. Slowing down play for discussion is pure liberal play. *
3 - No default voting is an heuristic for starting the game. I prefer it because of the data gathering angle. Others might prefer default Yes because of Liberal majority. Neither is alignment indicative per se.
Conclusion, I see you using AtE to throw shade at me. My relative quarterbacking of the game by 1st standing out as voting no and now slowing down the game I believe were valuable contributions but kudos on finding them the good argument to push for others to dislike. Anyway everyone by now seems to have understood the votes are at least as significant as the government results and I trust there is growing awareness that pushing for voting discussion is equally desirable. ** and ***
* You of all people know this without havign to read a strategy guide and therefore this argument alone from you is giving you some Hitler points IMO.
** consider getting blotunga to admit votng No is his logical play. If he votes Yes that will be revealing. Likewise if I vote No against logic and prog so far - but I have no reason to lie. Duh.
*** I think there is a meta gaming positive of the default No heuristic to help all players become involved but we can talk later on that.
RWarehall: As i have previously stated, I've liked ZFR's contributions thus far. ...
... If most everyone was giving him a free pass, that would probably mean the fascists were laying off ... there was a great deal of opposition and not all from the most trusted players in the game.
So, yeah, I think he's probably a liberal. ...
...that makes my best guess for fascists as you, Brasas and Kusu.
Liking ZFR's play amazes me.
I think the voting record is hugely muddled because most people only realized the strategic importance of setting that prog half way. Is that voting analysis really what you are hanging the ZFR as liberal read?
I would appreciate a more comprehensive reads list from you as this seems to be somewhat of a sudden shift.
dedoporno: ZFR ... makes me feel he is a fascist ... Ironically that still (and even more so) makes Scene as the best Chancellor choice.
... If I were to investigate I'd rather go for one of the next presidents ... I'd go with RW since his turn is imminent and he seems to be among the more likely successful elections.
Still need to be careful that ZFR migth be covering for Hitler Scene. I am sure he is frustrated but he plays too well to not be pulling some mindfuckery.
As for investigation, if you are president then don't investigate RW as per the overall discussion we would want to skip him to get to greek faster. It almost hurts me to say that since RW is the one I'd really want to investigate myself if it came to that... but I think the play is to investigate me or blotunga. Please reply to this, does it change your mind?
Please don't be overconfident of your reads.
ZFR: Hey, don't question him!!!! He just votes NO by default!!!!!!!
But I have Liberal answers ;) See answers to Lift.
RWarehall: ... what really bothers me
is the way he seemingly held out at the end to be the final vote and tried hard to pry into how everyone was voting. Leaves open the possibility he was deciding how best to vote for personal advantage.
Why is that scummy? My personal advantage is Liberal...
See the answers to Lift for longer answers.
And you are all way too late with this shade I hope. I signaled my shift to voting Yes ages ago. I'll vote Yes to your gov even, with clearly reasons and conditionals already given for that, despite being surer and surer you're Fascist.
ZFR: Yeah sure: Greek is Hitler and my scumbuddies are RW and adalia. Enjoy your game.
*claps* Bravo!
This is not Liberal play in any scenario. :) And I respect you too much to believe you've cracked from stress... sure you are frustrated, but not broken. The question then becomes how much mindfuckery you're pulling with this. Because knowing you... you've actually told the truth for part of it.
Townies sacrifice in many ways. That's the game. What you should do if you're Liberal is cool off and come back with a reads list from your very unique perspective. You still have the towny weapon - your vote, and can still help
your liberal majority win the game. But I can understand your not doing it - because you're scum ;P. So one question:
Why not voting for me? Too abrasive or some actual logic?
