Incorrect. Utterly and completely incorrect.

And this is obvious just considering the scenario where Vedith-Gamma was lynched instead of suiciding. Guess what? Those last few votes would have been very useful for evaluating the people voting them, both in terms of macro-level wagonomics and micro-level "did it look like they actually believed in that case" behavior. Instead we got a suicide and jack shit of useful data from it.

No shit that a scum flip is good. But voting data

1) Makes a scum flip even more useful
2) Helps mitigate the damage from a town flip

But apparently I'm back in Road to Rome and need to explain basic mafia mechanics and theory to people?

Gamethrowing: taking actions as a villager that are majorly and irretrievably antitown.

Did Vedith do this? Yes. Will some other VI likely do it at some point this game? Also yes.

Consciously bad play is gamethrowing, yes.

PS towns wincon is to lynch ALL the scum. Actions that knowingly go against that objective (and vedith's action clearly was that, since even if gamma was scum [he wasn't], it prevented interactions from highlighting potential partners or non-partners) is gamethrowing.

Pie then does nothing with/about that statement, whether pushing harder on jester, making an active attempt to dismantle the arguments against shadow-maria wagon, or vote her partner.

see, if you were town you would realize that I've been complaining that a lot of what's been going on in this game has been unproductive since... practically the start of the game.

it has nothing to do with me suiciding or not and I think that really is completely obvious from an objective POV. and you would also realize that I have been on record multiple times as saying that debating a singular best lynch is stupid and that it's far more productive to identify pairs that are town and lynch everyone else indiscriminately - you are not reading critically at all if you somehow are making the posts you have been making on this page

Fake-claiming a role may or may not be gamethrowing depending on the situation. There are times when it borders on it though, and anyone who doens't know what they're doing should be SUPER careful about it, since 90%+ of the time it really hurts town.

I didn't say you should suicide, I said you should be voting me (we're nowhere near 8 votes for a majority right now). Or pushing jester. Or working to dismantle the shadow-maria wagon if you oppose it. Or working harder to identify potential town-town pairs, since you say that's your objective. Empty complaining about the gamestate is still empty. You made an empty complaint about the gamestate, didn't do anything with it, and are now shading me for my reaction without actually voting me.

This doesn't even matter. It's semantics. I took objection because I misunderstood what you were saying, since your definition of gamethrowing is wonky as fuck. Misunderstanding, nothing more.

At some point, a sufficient level of incompetence is the same thing as gamethrowing. And since there seem to be people here who are actually tempted to embrace that incompetence, I feel motivated to constantly call it gamethrowing so as to make sure they get it through their heads how terrible that play is. But that makes me scum for just pretending to care about it, right?

^ this is also an INCREDIBLY easy strategy for scum to embrace: point out 1-2 "town" pairs (regardless of whether it's correct) "indiscriminately" mislynch a couple times (and with town demotivated from really sorting what's a mislynch vs a good lynch it's easier to pull this off), and then town's up shit creek without a paddle

But of course I should be town reading you for
REASONS
... right darling? Because guess what, I think your strategy sucks and I can't tell if you're town who actually believes it or a wolf who's trying to get town to be lazy about gamesolving.
