The beatings will continue until townplay improves: Part 2 - The Chessening - Day 4 (5/11)

Your reasoning is backwards here.

The day was stagnated at me vs childe with 30 minutes to go, and everyone felt too comfortable with it.

I prodded Misty about voting Ishmael, because based on her reads it made much more sense for her to try an Ishmael wagon than proceed with a childe execution which she thought would lose the game. She resisted and basically said she didn’t want to.

If I hadn’t pinged people to switch the wagon to Ishmael, childe dies there. Misty was uninterested in proactively doing anything to make Ishmael a viable candidate, and only voted when her death was inevitable. I didn’t vote because at that point my vote didn’t matter and I’m town, not mafia scrambling to make sure I look good.

Me deciding to out of nowhere bus a partner who has been trying to save me would also be incredibly dumb and would make no sense strategically! But I can accept that may be a personal strategic opinion

that like
wasn’t really a bus on your part, though? esp since you ended the day voting me i think that is like the definition of not bussing someone
idk man

I mean in that one post you only pinged jaiden/misty because you wanted that trio in your post to decide between the candidates, no?

After the flip I had carb, pandora, and Jaiden as town.

I was pretty surprised to see carb still alive, but it probably doesn’t matter?

Occam’s razor is just that the player who didn’t want to wagon their suspect for questionable reasons is mafia.

For childe, the rationale behind the play would be that both of them are permanently in the collective POE and the only way out of it at that point is to bus and bus hard. The strength of childe’s suspicion and starting the wagon when it was dying is the only vote that feels like a potential bus to me.

I think Misty is most likely, though, since the approach there is pretty clear and makes sense.

I think if you actually read the end of day it’s very clear that Ishmael doesn’t die if I don’t encourage the wagon to happen. Everyone was quiet and accepting your death. Whether I voted or not is irrelevant because a vote at that point is solely for optics and doesn’t actually matter for whether Ishmael dies or not.

I pinged them to shift the wagon onto Ishmael because I found it suspicious that Misty was unwilling to vote there and I wanted to see what would happen if she were forced to. Check the votecounts at the time of the post, you were going to die otherwise.

Multiple players were also pairing me with Ishmael and are likely to only be reinforced in that opinion if Ishmael flips mafia. It would be essentially throwing for that team to not just take the free execution on childe.

or maybe its because im the goat and i’m always right :joy: :v:

If you’re town it was a good read!! And on balance of things, it is towny to have started the wagon.

I am just comparing it to pandora’s and carb’s, for example. Neither of those feel like votes that make sense as a potential bus.

I mean i think it is surely going to be relevant in some way
if you thought mistyx was suspicious or was willing enough to push for an ishmael wagon through those two pings
like. why not swap

all of this is also considering the way ishmael voted as well
pushing for me with no legitimate defense towards you

i mean if you’re mafia you seem good enough to the point that i wouldn’t really expect you to be the only voter on a wagon with someone you knew would flip scum but :man_shrugging:

good news we have two candidates and one misexe left

it’s NEVER childe.

ishmael tried to kill childe too hard

if we’re all sure it’s one of the two the game is basically just over.

if it’s carbonated i’m imagining spec chat posting hank.gif

this would be a VERY funny endgame if i was the wolf. I don’t even have a real defense except that i’ve been posting good

if you kill me today you still have a 50/50 shot at it tmrw though

sussy :flushed:

unfortunately i do think this post is accurate if exaggerated
