First off: Awaclus. I don't know what to do. I have absolutely no idea on how to read him, his game style doesn't give anything away. And I can't keep putting him on the lynch-another-day list since we only have 1, maybe 2, mislynches of comfort room left. Does asking him to make reads on everybody accomplish anything, or does it generate an Awaclusian response?
The Teproc vote:
Awaclus, Space, IDPTG were all away and didn't weigh in. Space was defending LL, one of two (Andrew) who was doing so as late as midway through day 2. But even that wasn't a forceful townread. IDPTG had no interactions that I can see with LL/Teproc on day 2, besides agreeing on an early XX lynch. Not even gonna bother reading Awaclus, I'm sure I'll find nothing
As much as I can see a narrative for 2 of those first 3 to be scum...bussing LL/Teproc seems like a juicy opportunity to bus for at least 1 scum. gkrieg, DatSwan, 2.7, and Andrew all ended up voting Teproc.
gkrieg: It was an early bus D2 that didn't waver much. Looks nice on paper, but then again... Said he found Teproc much scummier than 2.7; even after the flip, I don't see how they differed that much. Also, gkrieg, you never did tell us why you think Andrew is scum. I would like to know now.
DatSwan: Votes LL quicklyish, then moves to Awaclus. Not the towniest of looks after Teproc flips. Also worth keeping in mind this was Teproc's scummiest player after the reread. But the timing of the vote for Teproc happens when it's Awaclus 2, Teproc 2, e 1. There's no indication before this point that Teproc was the likeliest lynch, I know I was willing to contribute to an Awaclus lynch. ScumSwan has a solid case against Awaclus, I don't see motivation for him to switch, because that vote looked like it would solidify the lynch as Teproc, until it didn't after the e wagon built. Could be designed to give him a lot of towncred for getting a scummy scum lynched. This is a hard game.
2.7: Nothing to be said about voting for Teproc, that's forced. Interesting part is the timing...took a while before he did, also was after the ever-scummy Awaclus before. Teproc acknowledges him as scum, but still passes over him in favor of voting DatSwan. If 2.7 is scum, that means there were twin correct wagons at the end of D2, with possibly gkrieg or DatSwan bussing Teproc before the second wagon exploded. Otherwise, it was just 1 correct lynch that scum was either powerless to prevent or else was OK with it happening.
Andrew: There's been a lot of interactions of interest: with IDPTG, with DatSwan, with Awaclus...and not really with Teproc. If he's scum, he takes advantage of my push for 2.7, hoping DatSwan will flip before he has to. If the team is 2.7/Andrew, I guess the motivation is a no lynch, but I never like assuming scum is trying to force a no lynch, so I think that's a team I can feel comfortable discounting for now. But I flip to Teproc, and regardless of whether he knew he was hammering or not, my flip is the one that tells him it looks back if he doesn't contribute to a lynch. I'm trying to leave reads out of it, but he was the only one to pounce on my Space accusation...which does concern me somewhat. Still, if scum plans on bussing a teammate to slip by for longer, this is not the unsuspicious, incognito way to do it. I think that's a good sign?
Conclusion: Last 2 scum are ?? and ?? I'm hoping I'll make a better insight at some point, but that point is not now. I don't know, maybe it's that time is harder for me to find now than my first game, but I just can't seem to focus this game. Probably because I'm putting off my being wrong for as long as humanly possible.
I suppose my top 2 picks at this point are gkrieg and 2.7. Partially the above, partially I just want to believe in #106. I'll get out of the "Not Voting" box with
Vote: 2.7 I've got a lot more to rethink about though.
