@Tofu, do you have any reads other than these on Mewtini and Skylar? Do you bring in any other reasons besides your activity/investment read, to these suspicions?
ftr, my personal take on that is that I think some people dominating the discussion is a function of playstyle and time someone is willing to spend on the game being unequal between players, and those traits doesn't entirely indicate alignment to me.
So... To me there is a clear lovefest happening through likes and the sort of insta-defend mechanic going on with Skylar/Mewtini. This is either just human nature of wanting to be in some group mentality/wanting to be friends/(possibly is friends I don't know y'all), but it seems irrational to me. From my perspective, people are defending Skylar too much and ignoring or misinterpreting posts that indicate suspicion.
Rari I just think is like good at mafia or something I'm not sure what to think. We played Push the Button together idk much about you but we won as aliens, so, clearly.
Most of what I have seen of people defending Skylar has been "oh, hypocop" and, while I get why people do that, it irritates me because clearly not everyone is a cop and it's like an excuse to just give a name with no reasoning under the guise of covering for the real cop. Information without reason makes me suspicious, and why are so many people doing it for the same person?
I didn't read vm's statistic thing as a Skylar wagon.
I'm going to repeat it because it'll be ignored. I don't think vm's statistic thing was a Skylar wagon.
I read it as just an interesting post trying to figure out probabilities, when at that point we had limited information (and, we still do). Because of that post, I think it helped me to gain perspective on what we could be dealing with in the game, and, while I think vm is rightly suspicious of Skylar, I don't think the numbers were meant to be a clear indication but were just for like, interest/observation (which is what we're supposed to be doing, right...) To me it looks like it's being skewed and not being looked at objectively.
That being said, at this point, lynching or vigging Skylar would reveal more valuable information than not doing so. Imo, of course. I feel like Skylar is a liability or something because people are too emotional over whether she is town or not. It would also reveal who was susceptible to that group mentality/hive mind thing and would either clear or make others suspicious by association, which I think is valuable in determining whether everyone else's reads are objective. What we need right now is information and I think that is more valuable than potentially losing another town, since we are still early in the game. That being said, I'm not committing to a vote just yet.
I don't think we should bother with Emmy at this point. Emmy hasn't been participating much and from what little I know about her, I think if she were mafia she'd be participating more (just a hunch). I think Emmy is vanilla town. I could be wrong but, fight me.
I am 95% on what vm's role is. I mentioned this to Jack previously because I thought I was cheating basically, and now I know even more than when I initially contacted him so it's like... I'm going to just try to separate what I know from the game and what I know in person. I don't want to not mention it at all because I think it could help, but, I am not planning on elaborating on this.
Oh wait; forget I said all that. I'll just "hypocop" that he's in the clear. Yeah. That'll work.
