Well there wasn't that much to respond to I guess. My problem at this point is that ADK is pretty much my only scum read : it's a solid read for day 1 and he's a mjor wagon, but that's not great, so let's do reads and see who I'm forgetting about.
theorel: Town. His whole approach to things this game has read very honest and constructive to me. I disagree with pretty much everything he's said or done (right down to hating the scumscore thing), but nothing here feels forced.
yuma : Town. I still think what started our fight was scummy, but he's been very townie since, especially in the way he moved on from the fight. First time I'm getting a read on yuma day 1, we should fight more often !
scott_pilgrim : Town. Rereading, I kinda convinced myself scott was town : yes there's the whole "oh noes, day 1 is hard" thing but he did that in both DoP and Super Mario, but then he does minorly townie things, like pointing out that Axxle's IC thing doesn't really mean anything and his big reads post which I think is town. Because no one feels an obligation to do them, I think these posts come from town more than scum (myself excepted, I always do them regardless), and his thoughts read genuine to me there.
Voltaire : Slight town. The one thing that has worried me about Voltaire this game is that he's been more jokey than usual, but his recent posts have felt like town!Voltaire freaking out about being lynched in a game where he has strong reads on day 1. Again, the buddying is null and I don't see his sheeping/egging on/whatever you cant to call it on me vs yuma as particularly scummy.
mcmcsalot : Slight town. His comments about knowing the case on Andrew would be crap before even hearing it read townie to me for some reason, and then he's just been behaving like town!mcmc does in general. Even in Battle School where I really thought he was town when he was not, a few of his posts did ring alarm bells, I just ignored them because my town read on him was already solid, and there are no alarm bells ringing here.
XerxesPraelor : Slight town. He's mega-lurking, but the few posts he had read townie to me, especially the way he changed his mind on Voltaire recently, and also him asking people to explain the cases currently going on.
jotheonah : Slight town. Not a fan of his "lack of solidarity among lurkers" comment (reads like he's deflecting to other lurkers) but has otherwise seemed pretty townie, in that he's tried to be useful since he's started posting more.
Robz888 : Null. As I said, his posts are very townie, but his meta is working against him here. Can't bring myself to commit either way.
sudgy : Null. Really needs to post more now that he's out of RMM13.
mail-mi : Slight scum. He's been lurking / VLA, there's nothing townie in his posts and he's voting for S_P, which I think is a scummy wagon.
ashersky : Slight scum. Basically no content, which is very strange for ash (I know he's been V/LA, but he has posted a decent amount since). Went along with Axxle's IC thing which I do not get at all. Has overall flown under the radar which is very unusual.
Axxle : Slight scum. Despite posting a reasonable amount, there is very little content in there. His IC thing really doesn't make sense to me, because how could anyone believe that works ? He's also voting for scott which is not a wagon I like, especially when ADK is right there.
AndrewisFTTW : Slight scum. He's been tunneling on ADK (I know, but still) and contraditing himself all over, but in ways that aren't noticeable before specifically rereading him. He's the first to suggest a joth lurker lynch, then asks the joth voters why they're not voting for other lurkers. He finds scott null but lists him amng the three people he' wants to lynch... Contradictions aren't scummy, but town explains things when they change their mind, whereas here it looks like Andrew either forgot about his previous stances or just hoped it wouldn't be noticed.
A Drowned Kernel : Scum. There's the long empty Axxle vote, then a sheepy vote on yuma, and just a bad feeling overall, like he's trying to adjust his posts to give people what they want, which is of course what scum wants to do. Town does that to an extent, but ADK's posts have felt very forced this game, which is enough to make him a solid day 1 lynch in my book.
OK, so I guess there are scummy people out there ! ADK is still vastly my preferred lynch, but I would also support an Andrew or Axxle lynch, and be ok with ash or mail-mi.
