Gram’s EoD
Gram's end of day dance comes off as extremely insincere - the introduction of the possibility that I am preflipping T is apparently worthy enough for him to pause for consideration, but he has 0 follow up to this thought. He asks me rhetorically what he's doing here as if it's completely obvious, and I believe what he's trying to insinuate is that he's allowing more time for discussion/for him to claim.
There are a couple of major problems I have with this:
- His unvote is directly paired with an insinuation that I’m scum. Not “I need more time to think on this or to hear out arguments”. He knows there's really only one possible outcome of this retreat that isn’t T getting lynched, but he’s posturing as if he was totally not taking his finger off the scale after realizing I could possibly go over.
- The introduction of some tinfoil that I have TMI is suddenly worthy of pausing for consideration when he’s been townreading me and strongly scum reading T. This comes off as rather apathetic, I don’t think he’s invested in who goes here either way, in spite of his stated insistence on T.
- He showed very little interest in giving tangible conditional reads at the end of the day, and answered my question with a question:
He gives a vague and non-committal response to both cases, and then shifts the burden on to me to answer questions, after already having accused me of pre-flipping. Which is essentially asking me to dig my own hole.
My last point, and I think this is the biggest gripe I have - I think there's a refusal to consider, from my perspective, what entertaining T as town actually does to benefit me, and him giving credibility to the argument that I’m preflipping is showing a lower level of town discretion than I would expect.
If I am scum stuck in a corner with T-Pein, why on earth do I start insinuating he might flip town and what the consequences of that situation are? Forget about setting the board for tomorrow - my goal here is to escape a lynch.
The irony is the implication of "preflipping" is that I'm trying to set up mislynches for the following day, but that seems more in line with what Gram is doing with this accusation.
