VOTE: Skybird
Hi again everyone. I'm sorry I was a bit MIA since the first page, I was out of town and supposed to be back yesterday.
I didn't think I had played with very many people in this game, but looking at the hydra's I see a few familiar names.
UNVOTE: I want to take a closer look at the last couple of pages.
I find taking the time to unvote in general incredibly scummy. The main reason to worry about your vote being down as town is because you're afraid it's leading to a lynch on someone you don't want it to. This is the middle of RVS and I find it extremely bizarre that such a thing would be done in general, leading me to suspect that Skybird is scum who doesn't want to be responsible for pushing a wagon quite yet.
Sinsun, why do you want to drive TheMan insane?
This is just a weird thing to say in general. But the big thing is her questions.
Kim, do you have experience with mafia off-site or IRL?
Note that Kim was defending me here.
P-edit - thanks Kim. Does anyone stand out to you so far?
Absolutely no follow up on that question at all, besides to ask another generic question, which at least with regards to me the answer should be known.
Why do you see Dictator as town? I'm leaning the other way on them.
Then we here hit the nail on the end. Literally the only purpose of this entire line of inquiry was to try to peel off Kim's townread on me.
So why did Skybird unvote me? Why did she approach it in such a roundabout way if that's clearly all she was interested in.
What's the point of the first question, anyway?
Also,
RC, are you seriously telling me to be quiet?
Yes RC, I do remember you from that game. I don't remember you being quite this annoying though.
There's absolutely no force behind this.
Like, "be quiet", really? Not "shut up"? Not some variant of "fuck off"? That's absolutely bizarre and I'd expect if she had as much of an issue with my play as she's claiming to that she'd react a lot more viscerally.
Then the rest of her questions are absolutely not followed up on.
Fire, what do you think of Kop?
Says nothing further about it. Note Kop is looking like a leading wagon here.
Kop, what are your thoughts on Dictator?
Then she asks the person she was ostensibly scumreading what the read on me is?
That's an absolutely bizarre change in the direction of questioning, plus all this "what's your read on X" without pushing anything doesn't come across as coming from town at all.
