what you just said
Ok. I don't really want you to defend yourself. Like you said, you have done that. Give me something to work with. Give me something to partner with you on.
Lynching Awaclus? I am totally down. Let's do it together.
Lynching faust? Explain this a bit more for me
I mean, I really like your play, and would miss you on D2. Just give me someone better to lynch and I will join you.
Okay, I promised I'd respond in the morning, so here we go.
Awaclus. Important to note that I’ve never played with him before, so I haven’t had a chance to read his playstyle yet. However, his entrance was in-your-face and random, lots of vote switching quickly. I find that type of entrance from a player that plays non-standard (which it seems he does) to be indicative of town. I often find scum people try to tone done the crazy a little bit and make their entrance a little more smooth. This type of reasoning demands that the player come into the game after a good bit of discussion has started, though. Crazy at the beginning of the game can just be scum playing crazy and knowing they have plenty of time to work that into town cred.
Now. All that said, that’s just the read I had on him early on. Since then, Awaclus hasn’t done too much other than go after Yuma if I recall (again, is there a search function for the thread?). To me he’s sticking too strongly to his thought process there, firmly committed to the yuma lynch, and that also reads town. Normally scum back off or at least water-down their lynch desires to an extent.
I guess I haven’t seen a ton that would make me want to actively push an Awaclus lynch, though I am okay with lynching a lower-activity player, provided there is plenty said about him earlier to give something to work with should they flip town. I don’t think it’s the best lynch here, but if it came down to it, I’d consider jumping on that wagon (though my general MO is to not jump on wagons unless my vote is needed - I’d rather vote where I want my vote unless I have to vote to dodge a no-lynch).
The more the game goes on, the more I’m not so sure I want a faust vote at this point. I think my real drive in going at faust earlier was to get people to actually look at him, which really no one was. There was a while where I felt he wasn’t being that helpful to town and was throwing out peanut-gallery comments, but as of late he’s been more in-line with some of the things I’ve been thinking, and it makes me not so sure I’d want him lynched at this point in the game. I’m still very very wary of him and refuse to say I’m reading him town, but I’m toning down my “kill kill” mantra.
That begs the question of “who do I want to lynch day 1”. Which… is a tough question. The length of this day makes it hard to stick with “teh feelz” reads that normally drive my day 1 votes, since there is so much time to change your tone and manipulate people. Here’s a list of people and if I would/could vote for them:
2.7 - Probably not at this point. Reads and feels slightly town and is pretty active.
Awaclus - Possibly. I’m getting slight town read as explained above, but could be persuaded due to lower activity.
EgorK - Possibly. Has read slightly scummy but when our wagons were the biggest, didn’t try to push mine as scum often do.
faust - Possibly. Explained above.
Haddock - Would vote for him. Something has felt a bit off all game, probably due to consistent mid-line comments. Not the strongest Day 1 lynch but I’d be okay with this.
Hydrad - Would vote for him. He’s all over the place and hasn’t drawn too much fire right now. People seem to not want to vote him because they aren’t sure how to read him.
iguana - Would not vote. Reads very town. I’m possibly blinded here though.
RR - Would not vote. Reads town, specifically 390.
SS - Would probably not vote. I’m a big proponent of early head to head battles that go on forever being town vs town. SS vs Iguana is such an example, so I believe him to be town.
Teproc - Possibly. I’m very wary of Teproc since my initial feelz were at least 50% scum on him, but he’s been pretty town driving lately.
WW - Possibly. I’m having a really freaking hard time reading WW. He’s kind of just brash in his comments without any real explanation much of the time, which is sometimes hard to work with. It could just be a playstyle difference between the two of us.
yuma - Would vote for him (and am). The last game I was in, Yuma modded. That means he’s experienced. I find the timing of his return to be very suspicious, since his wagon was taking off. Will I feel bad if he’s telling the truth and we lynch him and he was just needing some time away? Yes, of course. However, I’ve seen smart scum manipulate emotions like that, and I have no way of knowing if he was telling the truth or not. We’ve had plenty of opinions on yuma as well, so it wouldn’t be a completely wasted lynch. I still think this is the strongest place for my vote right now; the potential for a gambit is high in my opinion.
All that said, if you would like a further in-depth analysis of a specific person, I’d be glad to do so. I am at work, so it might be delayed, though today is pretty slow and I’m mainly just working on quality-of-life improvements.
Hope this is along the lines of what you’re looking for.
