Right; lets talk reads.
Here's who seems like they're engaging well, acting towny to me; drawing questions/discussions about eachother:
MiX,
DatSwan,
faust,
WestCoastDidds
Here's who I've taken off my table for various good/bad/irrelevant reasons:
UncleEurope,
chicken,
Robz
Here's my thoughts on e:
I feel like they were getting suspicion early on for being chipper and jokey. It seems like they were getting slight impressions, magnifying them 1000% either A) because it's funny or B) because that makes people go "What?!" and get this big game rolling. I put big townpoints on them for that. My recollection is that once people started saying e was suspicious, then 2.71 started making more muted opinions. I don't like that; reacting when others perceive you as scummy isn't in general good. Like, if large cases were happening, and 2.71's defending them....coool. But if people are like "feels weird" and then 2.71 changes the vibes they're putting out....don't love that. So the townpoints will probably carry 2.71 off my list tonight. But 2.71 is not my biggest townread no more.
Here's my gut feeling on our lurker-ish folk:
Jimmmm=good,
Robz = good (see above),
Awaclus = bad,
LaLight = bad
Here's a set of null folk:
SpaceAnenome (who's name I can't say out loud),
raerae (surprising null read, usually I sort that one out pretty quick; I blame my utter failure last game for breaking my radar)
Here's some people who's content I've disagreed with, and I'm still trying to decide if that makes me at all suspicious of them. heart says "Yes!", brain says "that's absurd", heart asks "why?", brain says "what they feel is what they feel. they could be scum or not", heart says "you said 'could be scum' so I win and you can't take it back":
Umbrage (probably not, it's his setup analysis that I'm against; also his faust vote/game/reasoning was awful)
mcmcs (yeah sorta, he feels like the leader of the bad votes on e)
Now to the bottom end of the list:
Glooble:
There's Glooble/ash Ferengi confusion that made me suspicious
Still feels like he's saying an awful lot and pushing an awful little. That disparity is scummier than either thing by itself. MiX is saying/pushing a lot. Robz is saying/pushing nothing. Cool, consistency.
He was vocally saying that gut-based reads aren't good
THIS piece, always interests me; it felt like suspicion was up and on him, but I vote, Uncle votes, and then crickets...that always raises my eyebrows off my face. On reread, I was again thinking that I knee-jerked myself into a scumread, but it just magnifies my suspicions so much when people get cold feet and don't vote for someone they suspect. So, Glooble's staying in my would-lynch list.
Ashersky:
Ash gets suspicion for "I don't think anybody is townreading him, I recall people saying he's scummy, but why is nobody voting for him???"
That Ferengi plan was suspect man; ashersky prides himself on thinking through setups deeply, finding great strategies that will break things down and help town. So he put forth something which even dumb ol' shraeye could see didn't make sense. Usually he's thinking two levels ahead of me, so it is suspicious at all heck when he's thinking even one step behind me. Definitely felt like he was trying to "match" his town-plan meta and put out something he really hadn't thought through at all.
So
vote: ashersky
for now.
