Mcmc hasn't been pushing the way I'm used to him pushing - via words, cases, questions, interrogations etc - he's seemed to be casting his vote wherever the wind has been blowing, and doing little individual thinking and constructing of his own.
Everything else thusfar... meh.
vote: mcmc
Gotta go check our deadline to see if I can try to get votes here, or if we should be looking to consolidate.
This is due to the fact that I have vastly less time to dedicate to the game then I did previously. You can check the games que thread to see that I have moved recently and started at a new office, so my time at home has been spent unpacking/building a chicken coup and my time at work has been working and learning new things instead of running things about mafia through my head. So I am keeping up and reading similarly but just don't have the time to create more thought out posts like I normally do. Good post though I definitely understand I look different then normal.
What do you think about eevee? He feels really scummy to me.
I can, obviously, relate to being quite busy in real life and having it impact my game time/effort. Acknowledging that you're not your normal town!self however, how would YOU read you? That is, take any other player, recognize they aren't playing their normal town game, and where does that lead you?
This forum is full of meta-reads. It's usually where I'm strongest (that and vote analysis) - but as Awaclus likes to make note, it's a faulty system.
"TownMeta!Mcmc" does not equal "Town!Mcmc", because it's exactly what "Scum!Mcmc" would be attempting to emulate. One could argue the fact that you're NOT acting like "TownMeta!Mcmc" might mean, in fact, that you're probably town because of the bolded part above. In the end, it's all just a rabbit hole of WIFOM.
So instead, for my read on you, focus less on the "He's not acting like I've seen town!Mcmc act". That's a bad line of reasoning. What I haven't liked from your play, particularly and solely relating to this game, is how loose your voting pattern has appeared. It's been very... "Where are others looking/voting/suspecting right now" - that is, it's felt like opportunistic voting, rather than based on your own personal reads.
Regarding Eevee:
I don't think I've ever, in over 30 games played with him, had a scum read on him. His posting style is always so upbeat and cheery that it's hard for me to think he could be up to nefarious deeds. In regards to the discussion on massclaiming, his being against it to begin with is more out-of-line for Eevee as I remember him than is his "Let's do it because it sounds fun". He definitely backpeddaled quickly and changed position on it.... but I don't see why scum would do so publicly and quickly - it's not as if there was an obvious shift in group opinion from the other people in the game that he would've felt he needed to gel with them.
Now, he IS being rather talkative overall (compared to how I recall him being), but that may be a bias I'm having due to the general lack of activity from everyone else. Eevee, as I've seen him as scum, tends to try harder than his normal town self. He comes across as forced because he wants to be read as town. This "try harder" attitude often manifests itself in a higher-than-average post count, as well as him town-reading everybody, not wanting to commit to scum reads because he's scared (maybe not the right word) of OMGUS and drawing attention to himself. He's hedgy as scum, and always, always, always (as is his nature) suuuuuuper polite and nice.
