Ok. I have been reading everything that has happened since I left last night and trying to make sense of it all. Here we go:
Jimmmmm: I find the case on him (
described best by Voltaire and that is what I am using as the "official" case against Jimmmmm - correct me if you think differently) to be rather underwhelming. As far as his exchange with Ashersky goes, I didn't get any huge scum reads from it. In fact, it looked a lot more like town/town arguing with each other in my opinion.
Ashersky: As I just said, the Jimmmmm exchange looked like town/town arguing to me. However, Jorbles had a scum read on Ash enough to make him want to vote, so would scum!Ash NK jorbles for that? I don't think so, especially since Ash is the only scum read Jorbles had that we can actually do much with. (Manda and myself were the other two. Manda because of her vote on Jorbles but there is really not much there to look into since Manda disappeared the rest of the Day. Me because I was making jokes that he thought were scummy but then after my claim he delayed lynching me until we had some night data.)
Walrus: Not getting the joke right away is fine. But his original post very much looked like a "I will put this out so no one can challenge me on it today without being scummy because I said so." so slightly scummy. I do not really see him as scummy for his reaction to Ash, but rather that original post trying to stop accusations before they happen.
Voltaire: Interesting posts so far today, and helpful. I don't quite know whether his assertiveness is his scumhunting style (as he told
Manda and myself, you scumhunt on your own) or whether it is actually scummy by his own declaration here:
Town is unsure. Mafia picks reasonable-sounding stances.
Because I have to admit, he is well on his way to convincing me of his position. I just don't have that good of a feeling about Voltaire right now. Not based on a scum read. Just not a town read either. Null read. (I hate null reads, and am therefore uncomfortable about Voltaire right now) So nothing on Voltaire yet, but he is on my watch carefully list.
Robz: No posts today? oh well. Real life happens
Manda:
Obviously I was on the [Jorbles] wagon, for (real life and in-game) reasons I think were justified--there was little enough information to go on that I was comfortable with a random lynch that would provide more information, and I knew that I wouldn't have time to commit to any serious analysis. However, the fact that he got NK'd definitely adds a new dimension to that wagon.
I am still uncomfortable with Manda's Jorbles vote. The NK does bring an interesting dimension to it. It also makes me suspect Manda more as town similar to the way I suspect Ash more as town because of the NK. Because of the way she voted on the wagon, and how it makes her look after the NK, would she be so bold as to off the person she voted for just before disappearing? I don't think so.
Teproc/mcmc: neither of them have said much today at all. So I don't really have much to say about them right now. mcmc did help convince Voltaire to vote walrus. Teproc said he was rereading me. I need a bit more time to figure out about them.
I didn't mean for this to become a scummary (I will call them that for the rest of this game) but it became on (of sorts). Big takeaway: The NK shifted D1 scum reads on Manda and Ashersky to town reads. So either this NK was brilliant by scum (if at least one of them is scum) or it was a blunder (if both Ash and Manda are town).
