I broke the first tie over an hour before lynch. Dina cast a killer vote after I did to give her 5. Ski threw down a coffee vote. Lupes then created a new 3-way tie by pulling off killer and going to bryndi. Coffee and bry then came in with self prez votes which created the final killer-bryndi tie. There was plenty of action after my vote, so to imply that I had some sketch form of reasoning on my killer vote is inaccurate.
What actually happened was that I didnt even want to vote D1, because I had no solid leads. But am told thats too sketchy to not vote, or to vote too late. So I picked a player I thought was pretty village (Zig) and cast a vote for someone who was trying to lynch her. That was my best read at the time.
And then this happens just a few minutes later:
The frustrating thing for me in trying to learn this game is over and over people say "well you just have to form your own meta, go with you gut, do you what you think is best with the info you have, Take chances, youre going to be wrong a lot." And then I say ok well Im going to do this, and then right away someone will say "oh, well no, you cant do that. Thats way too sketchy." So lets say I just hadnt voted D1...maybe people would have thought that was super sketch and lynched me. But I could have at least explained my reasoning, flipped village, and then people would have realized ok, in this instance what cubs did wasnt actually sketchy, and then maybe remember the next time I made that same decision. Instead, I felt like I had to do something to avoid the sketch reads that I was told would happen, and end up falling under suspicion by kara anyway the next day. I respect all the people that have been playing this game forever, like that huge Cray post above, so i DO try to listen to every piece of advice thats given. But if everything in this game leads to sketch points in one way or another, why not just make a move despite it possibly looking bad. Worst case Im eliminated and start over next game. And whatever I did and how people react to it may actually give people reads on others and how they reacted to the play I made.
