Post 198 from fang reminds me of something I did in (I think) NM9, when as scum I pointed out some flawed reasoning a guy was using to townread me, and basically told him not to give me town points for that. You don't see many people (especially town) actively turn away town points unless doing so has even more pro-town benefits than having someone reading you as town correctly, even though the reasons are wrong. So this seems like a very new scum post. Combined with his voting pattern at EoD and the recent stuff, I'm very happy leaving my vote on infangthief for a while, preferably until he's on guillotine.
Whelp, I just disappeared down the rabbit hole that was NM9...what an interesting and weird game. Also, duderific. Also, I like Space's flavor writing (adulting IS hard!) Also, Dylan did what he sees Fang doing, and he was, in fact, scum.
I have found much of Fang's posts today a little off, and so I was trying to think through why I found him towny before. I came up with:
1. I found him somewhat charming with the "little bit arrogant, little bit lynched comment"
2. the last time I played with him, he was super active and helpful and because he was super active again (except for a lull midweek) I assumed he was also super helpful
3. scum pushed his lynch D1 in that previous game, which was his first ever of f.ds and I felt guilty (and still do) about lynching the newest kid on the first day of a Newbie game
So, between guilt, previous play, and charm, I think maybe I am being snowed. None of those are reasons that he has been town this game, and I think that when I read through the conversations today and look back through D1, he isn't so towny after all. The not comfortable with the wagon comments, the "hey don't town-read me" comment, the narrowing it down to 8 isn't helpful comments, and then his desire to look more closely at me, e, and Awaclus today. In his first game, he and the rest of the speccy had lynched me over and over again, and I was town through and through. I'd have guessed that he would have a better sense of me, and as a result, I now see his questioning of three folks I mostly see as town (although I am not as sure about Awa), as off. So, I'm thinking
vote: Fang
