The Case On 2.7, or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Lynch*
I like a vote: Ampharos
You know, something to get me on the board.
[a lot more stuff about silverspawn's case on Ampharos and how it was all wrong]
Something to get him on the board. Precisely. This whole reread stuff is what alerted me. Because there's nothing there, or to be more precise, there's just enough to pass as townie. From someone who had been away for the first two or three days you'd expect a fresh perspective on things, but e just comes in and comments on stuff everyone's been talking about, says stuff pretty close to what everyone's been saying etc. The two people he comments on the most here are silver and Ampharos, ie the two main "wagons" at that time.
reads (no particular order)
Town
silverspawn
RR
iguana
yuma
hydrad
meh
witherweaver
Teproc
EgorK
Awaclus
Haddock
scummier
Ampharos
faust
I felt kind of bad leaving Ampharos on his own with the scummier side of things so I threw faust in there too. Not really sure what to think about Haddock at this point, Awaclus could be scum, Teproc is cool, witherweaver is interesting.
And he tops it off with a reads post that basically looks like the average of everyone's read at the time. We say all the time scum wants to blend in : these posts blend in so much they're basically transparent.
There's very little after that, before :
vote: Awaclus
I think his position on yuma is taking advantage of the situation we have with yuma.
I am interested how the yuma situation develops, but I don't see what he is doing as a scum tell
Exactly where I'd expect scum to be w/ regards to yuma during his absence, especially if yuma is town. He knows yuma is not very likely to be lynched here, but he will probably flip relatively early, so he can capitalize by arguing scum is jumping on the "easy" yuma mislynch. Attacking Awaclus is also never an unpopular position, so there.
Back to vote: ampharos
After Awaclus doesn't pan out as a wagon, but Ampharos still has one.
Scums sure like the yuma lynch. Although the faust vote seems like town who isn't appreciative of yuma's current approach to the game.
"People voting yuma are scum, except for this guy who's not a realistic day 1 lynch"
Aka "Look at all this work I'm doing ! Aren't I so townie ?"
Let's do this thing.
Vote: Awaclus
And finally, there's his voting pattern.
#625 : Votes Ampharos (2)
#819: Votes Awaclus (2)
#920: Votes Ampharos (4)
#1244 : Votes Awaclus (4)
Tunneling is a nice position for scum on day 1, because you're less conspicuous. Granted he's expanded his tunneling to "all players starting with an A", but still, voting for only two people is not the sign of a super productive townie. It also helps that Ampharos has consistently been among the top "wagons" all game and Awaclus is always going to be seen as a potential lynch by most people.
TL;DR : 2.7 has been blending, trying very hard to appear as a productive townie while in reality only commenting on stuff everyone else had already commented on and focusing on popular lynch targets. The only time he didn't go with the flow was on yuma, because that wagon had very little chance of actually resulting in a lynch, and he just had to reap the town points and strike the easy targets.
TL;DR (meta edition) : 2.7 is doing a version of what I do when I'm scum.
* No reason, I just watched Strangelove recently. It's pretty great.
