Gah.. here's all the re-reading I've managed to get done tonight. Of the ones I've re-read, IDP is my favoured candidate. Vote: IDP for the moment.
Given that everyone's giving Cuzz a practically un-commented-upon free pass for D1, I really only have 5 more to re-read, and I'm already feeling pretty townie on gkrieg simply because if he's scum he's usually the one spearheading my mislynch.
Robz -- jokes about being the SK, and for playing for his next scum game. Chats about how he met his wife. Calls the setup confusing, and defends Galz for asking stuff. Then jokes about mcmc telling whether gkrieg is scum, before voting gkrieg. Complains about the setup being written in schadd-speak. I object on the grounds that it's actually entirely possible to pin the setup down in a probabilistic sense using the information given, so there's nothing unclear, and that's from someone who's sometimes overly literal, so for Robz to complain about language issues, as someone who works with words, seems lazy. "Lol I wish I was scum". Votes faust. Calls mcmc and Galz "both scum". Sheeps faust on his IDP case. Defends himself for being called out on jumping around by saying he was just trying to provoke responses. Calls EFHW townie. Falls on the "lynch lurkers" side of the argument. Townreads faust, then notes he's trying to distract from the IDP wagon. Calls clutter anti-town. All that in 21 game posts.
IDontPlayThisGame (18 posts) -- Jokey opener, then nothing till #149, where he nitpicks Robz. Disagrees with O's scumread on mcmc, and wants e not to be serious about townreading RR (who's now Cuzz) for his absence. Responds to faust's case by saying that he has trouble D1 (tell me about that!), and also questioning whether scum really lurk D1. The second part of the defense feels superfluous, because he's suggesting lurkers have a low probability of being scum, which is maybe more likely to happen if he knows the rest of the lurkers aren't scum, which only happens when he is. Spends his next few posts defending his defense/response. Still has no avatar. Continues on a crusade to point out that lurker lynches aren't good in a way I don't really agree with, because he doesn't factor in the prior probability of anyone being scum, so sure, lurker lynches often don't work out, but it's also true that non-lurker lynches often hit town, so it's overly simplistic to use that as a reason not to lynch. I think a much more sensible reason not to lynch lurkers is that they provide little extra info when they flip, compared to someone who's been on a lot of wagons and talked a lot with other players, so you can see their interactions. Also, a lurker scum isn't taking control of the game in the way an active scum might be to sway things. This re-read god side-tracked, but my general impression of IDP is definitely on the scummy side.
McMcsalot (19 posts) -- scumreads robz at the start. Agreed with a townread on e. Disagrees with scumreads on TWM and Galz. Converses with faust about townreading me. This is someone who frequently scumreads me for almost no reason, so I'm tentatively okay with that, though I still think both of them missed my feeling about how scums are going to want to be more controlling of a game and not be absent.. mcmc in particular is quite a controlling player (see comments like "would actually like EFHW to answer before datswan", where he casually expects players to fall in line with how he wants things to be done. Declines to explain what town!Robz should look like to him. That's maybe a healthy suspicion between the brothers? Defends TWM's dama sequence, which is funny only because TWM later admitted that some of it was a bit fake. Townreads Datswan and then gkrieg; scumreads EFHW, and confirms this when he's back again after a longish break.
e: 48 game posts is quite a lot. Scumreads Robz out of the box. Jokes around with stuff like an early reads list. Also defends TWM and his dama. Calls RR town for being absent. Accuses faust of being scummy over part of his IDP case. Points out that Robz seems to be wagon-fishing. Townreads Robz after he responds to that. Policy-votes O over his self-vote. Votes me for my EFHW vote (I still think her comment sounded forced). Starts talking about lurker patterns in post counts. Decides that Swan and Cuzz are probably not teammates. Votes Swan, then IDP after Swan posts. Wants to lynch me. His post frequency tails off a bit later in the day, but he says he'll be around for deadline. Annoyingly, he reads quite townie in spite of pushing for me. He and I tend not to see at all eye-to-eye on things pretty often.
The Wine Merchant: Opens with some silly stuff then that whole dama thing. Votes EFHW while doing a bit of agreeing with mcmc. Notes RR's disappearance. Gets a little defensive about how shouty he got last game. Townreads faust, but later clarifies that he townreads him [i]because[/i] he wants to vote him, which is a weird way of constructing a townread. Votes e. Keeps pretty cool when faust goes perilously close to actively encouraging negative play. Joins the EFHW wagon. Slightly odd response to faust's gkrieg vote: "I don't see the purpose of it at this point in the game" -- not actually sure where he was going with that. Moves back to EFHW. Tries to push e and steer away from gkrieg. Gives a case for the former only after prompting. Votes IDP and says he'll be back before deadline. I actually don't mind the IDP vote after my re-read, but the rest is a bit of a mixed bag, so he's pretty null.
Datswan: Opens with a vote on O, an suspicion on Galz. Asks O why he finds Swan scummy. Asks e why he'd possibly townread an absent player. Confirms his enduring scumread on O. Asks faust what his read on O is. Gives a pretty paranoid-sounding reads list before voting faust (with a malformed vote that got counted anyway). Asks Robz why he (Swan) got classed as an okay lynch. Scumreads faust. Points out gkrieg's malformed vote on Swan. So clearly is paying attention to vote formats. Calls Robz scum for scumreading him over "nonsense reasons". Claims not to have noticed that RR was replaced. Nitpicks some of EFHW's wording, in that he points out it's potentially scummy, but without making anything else of it, which seems hedgey. Still wants to push faust or Galz. I dislike how everyone is removing Cuzz from their analysis/lynchpools. Presents faust, Galz, mcmc and me as his lynch pool, which kind of feels like a list of people he's paranoid about. Votes Galz, which is not a surprise from Swan. Certainly seems okay engaging a lot of people, so nullish-town.
Spaceanemone -- Spaaaaaaace!
