Galz votes D2:
Starts off the day voting faust:
Fuck.
I'm gonna claim. Don't know if it's good or not - but fuck.
I'm a Good Memory, VT.
... what?
Fine. Vote: Galzria
Are you voting me because you think it's bad play, or because you think I'm scum?
vote: faust
Switches to DatSwan:
vote: DatSwan
I could also be convinced to vote TWM, Andrew or Chairs.
DatSwan of all the new players is the one that strikes me as trying the least - and yes, he was VLA most of D1 but he's been back since. More though, I think he was coached to play it quiet. Skumpy is Skumpy. I find him townie overall but wouldn't be shocked if he flipped scum. XxRaptor DEFINITELY would've played the "hard-to-get involved" card a lot harder if he was scum (He had never heard of Mafia before I started talking about M100). And that leaves DatSwan, who has played Mafia both in an online format before as well as in person.
As for the others:
TWM comes of as FAR more reserved and less abrasive than he's been in every previous game I've seen him. He's always been town, which leads me to lean scum here.
Chairs hesitancy and phraseology reminds of Robz' "This day is insane" scum verbiage. I remember Chairs being a much louder player, and here it feels as if he's trying to skate by.
Andrew because I still hold that his D1 play was a potential scum tell
Switches to me:
Let's look at Andrew's opinion:
"I don't think it's unlikely that all 3 scum were on wagons"
- So, Andrew, Jake and DatSwan are town. Good to know. And Teproc. And Robz and Gkrieg. Holy **** this is easy.
- Good. Now we just need 3 scum in 7: Roadrunner, Galzria, XxRaptor, TWM, Skumpy, Faust & Chairs.
- 5/7 of us were on Robz. TWM & faust were on Jake.
- Is TWM Scum? No? Is faust? Then the entire scum team was voting Robz! Man, this gets easier and easier!
- Right. Here we go. Let's figure out the entire scum team that's voting Robz. Oh, wait...
"I don't think it would necessarily have made the lynch easier"
You're right. 3 scum being together on one townie taking 7 to lynch REALLY doesn't make getting that lynch through easier....
Haha. The logic is ridiculous. vote: Andrew. I'll still do DatSwan, but between that, his "logic" from the opening of d1, and his "knowing" I'm town d1... yeah, I'm good here.
I'm pretty confident DatSwan is town, based on how Galz has pushed him. So fast forward to:
- Is TWM Scum? No? Is faust? Then the entire scum team was voting Robz! Man, this gets easier and easier!
Vote Count 1.final:
Robz888 (7): Galzria, chairs, Xxraptorslayer96, Skumpy, gkrieg13, Roadrunner7671, Teproc
JaketheBaseballGod22 (3): faust, Robz888, The_Wine_Merchant
Skumpy (1): JaketheBaseballGod22
Not voting (2): DatSwan, AndrewisFTTW
Galz mocks the idea of the whole scum team voting Robz and I agree that is unlikely. So assuming DatSwan is town, and knowing that TWM is town, that again leaves faust.
Back to DatSwan:
Hum....
Back to vote: DatSwan for now.
I do believe that there was scum not voting. I simply don't believe we struggled that much to get things moving with all 3 scum on board. And there's a laundry list of reasons I've found Andrew scummy.... But like yesterday the more I've pushed him the less I've wanted to lynch him.
I disagree with a lot of what he's said, but at the very least he's not backed down from defending himself - and that's worth something.
Jake for no good reason:
I'm in agreement right now. Jake is either scum or being intentionally unhelpful when asked simple straightforward questions. And it carries a decent narrative for everything that's happened so far. I didn't really lean scum on him earlier in the day, but the combination of my own analysis yesterday and the way he's chosen to interact and respond...
I'm good with vote: Jake
Not a vote but an interesting answer to TWM's question:
If you are town, who do you think responded the most scummly to your claim?
Well, that's interesting. I think scum probably split. It's an easy push as "bad town play" {Faust, Andrew, Jake} - but I also honestly expect some town to feel this way as well - so it's not really a scum!tell to react that way. That said, Faust by far was the scummiest of these reactions simply because I didn't at ALL feel like he was voting me because he thought I was scum. His vote felt made because he thought it would be easy.
On the other hand, scum doesn't really have the need to jump on it. I'm going to get heat regardless so they can wait and watch. In the group that acknowledged it but didn't engage it you have {TWM, Skumpy, Roadrunner, Chairs, DatSwan}. Of these you and Skumpy have my most expected scum reactions (Almost literally "We'll wait and see") - but I town read you both so... Interesting note on Roadrunner... he's the only player to give me town credit for the play which I don't at all think was warranted... So definitely stands out for that.
Lastly there's the group that I don't recall even acknowledging it {XxRaptor}. This very well could be a "don't wanna shoot myself in the foot" scum play.
So... in order, discounting all other reasons for reads:
Faust -> TWM -> Skumpy -> XxRaptor -> Roadrunner -> Chairs -> DatSwan -> Andrew -> Jake
He ranks faust as reacting the scummiest to his claim ("by far"!).
Not a vote, but says he could vote RR:
vote: RR
I could get behind this.
faust expresses a townread on Galz:
You guys think TWM self-voting is scummier than Galz claiming VT? I'm reading TWM and pretty towny actually. I could vote Galz or Jake, let's go with Galz for now.
Vote: Galz
It's interesting to see our reads align as much. Though I can still see Galzria as misguided town.
faust vote after Jake hammers himself:
Bleh. unvote.
That won't look pretty but I don't really care. If Jake is scum I'll gladly be the following lynch for looking the fool here. The wagon doesn't match with my analysis the last few days though.
I know it's kinda jumping the shark to assume Jake is town but my gut says it's a bad lynch - and if that's right then I think my analysis regarding there being 2 scum in {Chairs, RR, Faust, Raptor} is correct. And, well... I don't know a better way to turn the conversation towards them. They've received so little collective suspicion and there's so much else going on it feels like they're set on cruise... and I can't shake the feeling of being played.
I think I want to join Skumpy on vote: faust for now.
