I'm pretty surprised you'd call that into question as the whole point of a "gut" call is an instinctual thing rather than something that has for example been reasoned through or in the context of a hydra for example, discussed with your partner. I'd be more inclined to think the scum-team is double-bluffing with the correct decision and in fact the correct move is to switch as it usually is. I tend to give people more credit that way. "Hmm, well they know we're trying to sabotage them, therefore let's put the wine in its usual position and leave it for them to out-think themselves". Of course the level of "bluffing" is infinitely abstractable and Talitha might not think of them as single-bluffing but rather triple-bluffing or quintiple-bluffing or somesuch.
I'm calling into question its point because I don't see how it helps arrive at a decision to have one hydra head say X while the other says Y. That combination of posts, to me, makes it feel like you're pushing indecision rather than decision -- espeically because this is something I would expect you two to have discussed in your QT before coming into the thread about it. (At least, it's the kind of thing I would discuss with my hydra-mate beforehand, if I had one.) In my humble opinion, it'd have been more reasonable to say that Talilan, as a hydra, doesn't know which way to go on the KY Krew stance due to WIFOM.
Cow's most recent post is massive plus points. Pretty sure I've maintained that they are fairly protown all along (aside from misinterpreting that one post by Shanba), but still worth mentioning that they're obvtown.
I have a thought or two on CKD's timing, but like with Talilan/Jin from Scene 1, I'm not going to sit here and feed him potential explanations by posting in here about it now. This is more of a "Note to self" once we get between scenes again.
I'm either really disappointed in Thesp, or he's trying to be sly scum. Either way, I'd like to hear him talk about me more. I like the attention.
Another note-to-self: I expect MASSIVE input from the MrBuddyLee half of the hydra once we get off-stage again. Unless I missed something (distinctly possible), he didn't post at all since they entered the game.
One explanation I
will
throw out is for the hidden Assistant Director, whomever that may be. Perhaps Thesp was chosen because he isn't required to be On Camera for scenes three or four. From a sheer gameplay perspective, you want your Directors of Photography and Audiography to be Off-Stage as much as humanly possible. Of the people currently off-stage, the only ones who will also be off-stage for the next two scenes are Thesp, Hewitt, and StarKiss. Of the three, Thesp is, I think, the least suspected overall, so it makes sense that Thesp would be picked over the other two.
So there. No more fishing for information from Mystery Assistant Director. May their identity and their innocence be safely hidden away forever more.
Mufasa's most recent post was decidednly worthless. I echo DGB in saying "Uh?"
Ortolan (I assume) wrote:Yes, I am using it as a town-tell in this case.
Yeah, he didn't say "in this case." You've used agreement/disagreement as a town tell in nearly all of your suspicions (if not every one). Buddying up to people who agree with you is a good scum tactic, and a terrible town tactic, so BEC's skepticism here is spot on.
There. That post feels more like the Gaspar of old. And aside from a lingering cough, I feel human again. The scums ought to be shaking in their boots by now.
