This is for everyone:every vote, even in RVS, should be counted as a serious vote,because you should absolutely always vote how you are feeling. If a player is voting someone, the voter is saying, "I want this person lynched," not, "No feelings or beliefs behind this." I can accept votes that okay a lynch on a lukewarm read, but only if we are nearing deadline and the voter does not have a better, stronger read on someone else. No one should be saying that their vote is not serious, and if they are, maybe consider voting them to help make them realize what a vote means.
I do not think a wagon on knightmare was an attempt to end the day early. I think it was something which could lead to ending the day, but if the mafia were on a mislynch, it was for the sake of a mislynch, not a day ending move.
I don't understand this. You seem to be saying that RVS is in fact not RVS at all. You also seem to be saying that it's not legitimate to toss on a vote simply as a reaction test as opposed to a serious read. My understanding is this runs contrary to board meta. Can you correct me if my assessment of board meta is off, or clarify why you feel this way?
You misunderstand. First, RVS exists. Simple as that. Second, votes count. An RVS vote counts as a vote. "Reaction/test" votes are still votes. I do not care what kind of votes they are once we are beyond RVS, and RVS votes need to be evaluated once we pass the threshold into serious discussion. Why? Because all votes are votes, and all votes matter.
I do not care for your understanding of board meta, whatever the board meta is, or most arguments which categorize things as meta. Things which matter are things in this game.Make the right decision,

In post 172, knightmare wrote:I can understand tunneling, Sayana. I don't think that's the case here.
My point is that I think Lowell istwisting things to make me look scummyand that his perspective is not genuine.
Again, look at post 84 again I think it's pretty obvious he is not being objective.
I am quoting you, knightmare, but I think others have expressed this sentiment about Lowell as well, and this needs addressing. 84 is a great post. 85 and 89 are great follow-ups. There is nothing indicative of a scum mindset in these posts. 57 is a little eh, but I agree that because of knightmare's play, it is plenty fine.
In terms of content to action ratios, Lowell is doing a whole lot better than most. His reasoning has been simple and clean, and I like that.Make the right decision,

So is it your opinion that i should've been engaging the players instead of waiting until they reply to me pointing the finger at them?
Sorry but i dont play the way other people want me to play.
Why would they reply to what you call a finger? You get people's attention with questions directed @them or a vote. This is a terribly passive approach to those you consider questionable in comparison to the wagon for which you properly argued before bailing on it.
In post 147, Sakura Hana wrote:
I dont think knightmare is scum since like 2-3 pages ago.
I also unvoted because I thought the wagon buildup was too fast.
If you think im lying there's nothing I can do to show you differently, so im not even gonna bother.
See above. You had a scumpool that you yourself defined as Boonskiies and Sayaka Maizono, but you went for Lowell. Disappointing.Make the right decision,

"Things which matter are things in this game" is fluff. I'm trying to understand whether you're being contrarian or whether my sense is off. To the extent that you're being contrarian, I need to evaluate how you're being contrarian, and what I think about it.

Awesome. How do you propose to evaluate RVS votes? Are votes made SOLELY for the sake of reaction testing reasonable and legitimate? Consider what you'd said previously:
In post 165, Madonna wrote:This is for everyone: every vote, even in RVS, should be counted as a serious vote, because you should absolutely always vote how you are feeling. If a player is voting someone, the voter is saying, "I want this person lynched," not, "No feelings or beliefs behind this."
So if your answer to my question is yes, I'm having a hard time seeing how your perspective holds together, and would like clarification. And if your answer is no, why aren't you openly suspicious of Almost50? You're aggressive on Sakura due to her behavior, presuming that votes are serious. But Almost50 displayed even more flagrant "I'm voting purely for reaction test purposes" behavior, AND he openly town read Sakura for the very same behavior you seem to find scummy, see 74.
Actually, let me be even more explicit on where I'm mentally going with this. You and A50 seem to have diametrically opposed reads of the same behavior of Sakura's. And neither of you seem remotely interested in engaging each other on that point. Why is this? Why are neither of you engaging with the other's theory (or even read as a whole, since A50 also added to town read at 152)? This seems like an obvious area of discussion from the both of you, given how substantial your disagreement appears to be. Why aren't you trying to engage with each other in thread?-

I'm not sure we can agree to disagree on this. 84 is a terrible post. His line about me making some "deep, methodical post to look helpful that reeks of scum" is seriously bad and nothing but false conjecture. It's not an objective argument, it's an attempt to smear me. I don't find this townie at all.
85 is an exaggeration. Who was actually freaking out about my wagon? You said yourself Sakura handled it rather passively and that's the only one I would consider getting cold feet at the time that was around.
89 also doesn't make sense in the context he is agreeing with you on.
So no, I strongly disagree that he's making good posts and I find it questionable that you think so. What about his two most recent posts, what's your opinion on those?-

Anything specific?
Basically I think your points are kind of generic. I'm not sure what that means for you, yet, but I don't find any of your arguments particularily strong.
I'll be more specific later when I can quote you properly from a device other than my phone.-

Ok let's break it down then:
In post 84, Lowell wrote:No but really, this guy is scum. I'm a gut player, and my gut is always* right about these things.
Very great reasoning there i'm totally gonna follow up on this reasoning.
In post 84, Lowell wrote:The entirety of his ISO is him getting madder and madder while trying to look calm and collected.
Words without examples are mud slinging.
(How do you even see whether he's "getting mad" while "being calm"?)
In post 84, Lowell wrote:Even the latest few "let me put together a ponderous, methodical case on some rube to look like I'm helping" reeks of scum.
Once again, no quotes or examples.
If this is an example of a "great post" then all of knightmare's ISO would be the pinacle of amazing posting.I bloom in spring?
Please be nice to me.-

What's with your reasoning here.
I'm lax and lazy, and don't think people need to get defensive that early in the game.
