Whiteflame - As SCUM I'd think he'd be more supportive of Wylted's suggestion for everyone to claim, and meekly back down and reverse his position should the rest of TOWN disagree. However, Whiteflame's vote on Wylted is interesting to me. Whiteflame has observed Wylted do
literally the same thing before for the exact reason Wylted stated...
"It was an annoyed emotional vote. I also knew it was pointless, so might as well remove it at some point." It was pretty obvious to me this was standard Wylted just as we've encountered him the past 3-4 games. Like I said before, he is impulsive and doesn't really think his decisions through much. Whiteflame knows this. Wylted's done crazy gladiator gambits and Whiteflame
never batted an eye. The fact that Wylted did this indicates pretty much nothing should be common knowledge among us all at this point. Whiteflame's sole saving grace is the fact he seems to be voting Wylted as an early activity-generator...
"right now, he's the only person who have any suspicions of so far, so he'll be my vote for the time being." A problem though is it took him a while to relent pressure. He really only relented when TOWN agreed Wylted was just being Wylted and moved on. Now, to be clear, this is all could easily be overanalyzing minute details, but Whiteflame does retain a FoS from me.
There's a lot here that doesn't make sense to me. You acknowledge that my actions would clearly fly in the face of anything I would try as scum. Hell, look two games ago and pretty much the only reason that Supa and I won that game was due to getting the vast majority of claims in DP1 and either getting or inferring the rest in the following DP. Why would I jeopardize an easy opportunity to get even a couple of extra claims as scum?
As for behavioral issues, I'll note that as soon as Wylted made that first statement, I responded:
"Honestly, if you had just said this off the bat, we wouldn't be having this conversation."
So, yes, I recognize that this is absolutely textbook Wylted, and shortly thereafter, I removed the vote (wouldn't say that a single vote on him was exacting much in the way of pressure, and it only took me a few hours to remove the vote). My issue was with the defensiveness from him and the other reasons he was providing for his choices. I wouldn't call this anything like that crazy gladiator gambit (which I arrived very late for and, I'll note, I was SCUM in that game - I'm pretty notoriously passive as scum, much to my own chagrin) - I'd say it initially appeared more akin to his play during the Ancient Roman Battles game where he was jumping around between targets with less than clear reasoning, where he ended up being scum.
