Hey everyone! Good to be here. gkrieg, thanks for that comment about the game that just ended, although you conveniently left out me screwing up, getting modkilled, and handing the game to scum haha.
Yeah, this game seems like it developed maybe a little bit slower than the other 2 I've been in, but I suppose that's to be expected for a newbie game. If nothing happens this might be tough for me because I've felt like I've been pretty slow at coming up with reads so far previously, but here's my thoughts so far.
gkrieg honestly scares me because he plays such a good town game that I really want him alive, but I just know the game I decide to not be suspicious of him and fully trust him will be the one that he is scum and it bites me in the butt. would not lynch today.
I only have that one previous game with Jake where he was lynched D-1 as the cop. He seems more controlled and toned down which is a good thing regardless of alignment, because I feel like if he keeps this up it'll be easier to judge his content and not just lynch him to keep him from dominating the thread. That may not quite be worth town points, but I do see some improvement that if kept up will make his games less tedious to try to read through to sort out fluff and OMGUS from real content, so props for that!
I don't particularly care for the immediate role fishing by Jake, but considering it was right after LL asking my alignment (obviously town, as you can tell from Alec's rock solid content
), I am going to take it for now as more of a joke than scummy.
I don't particularly think faust's idea about the weak PRs claiming was particularly scummy, because there are times when town does have more to gain by outing a PR than not, case in point me outing Robz as scum (prior to screwing up) in LL's game that just ended. Of course this is a different situation than counterclaiming a scum lie, but there are still similar types of pros and cons that must be considered. I don't think it should happen yet, but I don't see faust bringing it up as scummy like Calamitas did.
So far, I think I'm probably most suspicious of Calamitas so far, mainly because I don't care for the "I'm never active D1" because I don't think that is particularly helpful for town. The way he has approached the theory dispute does seem sort of unusual though. Faust clearly explained his points, and the closest Calm got to acknowledging them was basically "I guess he genuinely believes that."
I don't think I've seen anything yet that I can't see someone doing as town, so most of my reads are pretty null to town leaning so far. Although it probably wouldn't take much to swing me either direction so far.
For now I'm going to
Vote: Calamitas. I guess this is more of a "he's less townie" vote more so than a "he's most scummy" vote, but that's the best I've got right now.
