Anyways, scumhunting...involves reads...means I need to figure out what I think of these players. I doubt I think anything right now, but I need to try to keep people straight, and this is still the best way I've found to do that day1. It puts my mind in the game and helps me keep track of what I think of people, making me think of them at all. Hopefully I can start sorting all of you out. This is a long post, so I expect shraeye and raerae to skip it
1. ashersky: active, provocative. These are general ashersky properties based on what I've seen. null read. (scumScore...null=25)
2. Eevee: Very little activity. Not exactly normal for Eevee, but I think he's been posting somewhat less lately? Or maybe he posts less in non-normal games. I dunno, I feel like I've noticed a lot of "not much posting" regarding Eevee in my skimming. So I'm going to call this basically null for now, but might revise if someone tells me that my thought there is incorrect. scumScore=26
3. xeiron: he's posted like twice (3 times now)? I've never played with him as far as I remember. Seems reasonably concerned about claiming...but ultimately I've got nothing. scumScore=25 (Oh, his name is typoed in the opening post btw)
4. raerae: Seems like typical raerae (i.e. abrasive, joking). I'm not sure I've seen raerae as scum (in terms of when skimming other games...I know I've never played with scum raerae). So I guess I lean town here. scumScore=20
5. mail-mi: First player I've not really noticed. I know he's posted some stuff, and has received some comments. I think there was a back and forth with ashersky last night regarding how he voted for ashersky? I'll try to pay more attention to him. scumScore=25
6. TwistedArcher: Has posted a lot. Not sure if "appeasing" is a scum-trait when applied to twistedarcher. I know it isn't when applied to me, and I know that I have a tendency to appease (maybe I only try to appease and actually don't? Robz always thinks I'm scum because I ask permission to do things like vote though...). He's gotten a lot of heat, which generally makes me lean town. scumScore=20
7. chairs: He claimed paper, so we know he beats rock, and loses to scissors. He's a green card that helps with splaying (thematically because he helps pass down information from one age to the next). Early uninformed claims are usually town (though they are also usually mislynched). This wasn't quite as early, although it was broadcast early. Still likely to be town. scumScore=20.
8. shraeye: I can't pretend that I can read shraeye. I've only really pegged him as scum once, and he was of course town that time (and IC to boot). He seems to have played a similar gambit to ashersky, except he decided to build an actual weak/day-1 case on TA? (unlike ashersky who did it to provoke). Um...I'm going to play it safe and lean scum here. scumScore=28
9. Ahoppy: Second player I haven't noticed. This time I've got absolutely nothing. I don't know if he's been posting little, or if I don't know him and so don't have a voice to associate with him. Can't remember other comments regarding him. No knowledge of player means slight scum right? (even if it's entirely my own fault) scumScore=27
10. EFHW: One of the three players in conversation last night (with TA and ashersky). I think she's the one taking the opposite viewpoint to me regarding claiming (i.e. that we should claim items we have rather than items we need). ashersky thinks she sounds like when she's scum. Eevee thinks that she sounds like Efhw. I don't know her meta. I've got nothing really. scumScore=25
11. spiritbears: One of these days spiritbears is going to be scum, and we'll all be surprised. I don't know enough about how spiritbears plays mafia, except that everyone always thinks he's town. I can see why...I think he's town too. And I can't even figure out why (I don't remember anything he's actually said, just that he seems like town.) scumScore=20
12. theorel: Yep, I'm here. I'm the most pro-town player around, even if I always lose anyways. At least people don't usually suspect me until around day3. scumScore=0.
13. nkirbit: I was about to say I remembered nothing, then I remembered...he called himself out for underposting, after someone didn't call him out for it (ahoppy maybe? I'll have to check). I think this might actually be a scum trait based on experience (I remember Galzria calling himself out in DS9. I think other scum has done it in the past). Although it seems like a townie thing to do, maybe it's one of those town things that scum does to look townie? Meh, the better townie response would be to post more. Well, I'm not going to build a case around it, but I'll lean scum here for now, scumScore=28.
