Puns, I would like an explanation as to how my vote countering Han, in direct response to Han is rendered a negative mark because Corrik managed to read and post before I had the opportunity to.

Whats the scale here?

The fact Corrik's vote was already on Han gives your vote a softer place to land. It makes it more appealing of a vote option if you're scum.

So like without Corrik's vote and without you buddying him in the same breath, it would just come across as whatever, probably town because it would be an oddly blatant countervote for scum SBell to make.

But with Corrik's vote being there AND you buddying him AND the little tacked on justification at the end it makes it more likely you are giving Corrik some traction to jump the gun on Han's attack of you and nip it in the bud.

I guess alot is riding on me seeing Corrik vote before posting.

I saw Hans post, started typing, had to get to winrys softball game, finished typing and posted.

Bad assumptions are bad.

That's not how this works. That's not how any of this works.

In the world's where you post the first vote you tend to town a vast majority of the time.

In the world's where you post the second vote, it's split more evenly.

The odds that you are town are higher if you had the first vote. Puns isn't saying you are definitely scum because you had the second vote. But he is saying that it's possible, as in it's conceivable. We don't get to know whether you saw Corrik's vote first or not. We only know that Corrik's vote came first. Therefore we clearly cannot choose the cup in front of you.
