I apologize for my absence. It has been just... a crazy week. Super needy students (or more specifically parents).
1) Swan Votes - The double gut read vote on me is... strange. Considering, I have not done very much. Although, by that same logic, as no reason was given, I guess I cannot argue with them that much. But fwiw, I have just been very busy.
2) ADK Claiming VFD/Awaclus Promoting the Plan - My opinions during the discussion aside... I find it very unlikely that BOTH there person to bring up the plan, and the first person to claim, are both skum. Skum may want to promote the plan, but I do not think it likely they put themselves in that position.
3) ADK - I am pretty strong TR on ADK at this point. The post below screams to me "Hey! I am really VFD! I know something that I think the other VFD's know".
Unless the town volunteers think they have some secret code that would allow them to out all three at once.
At least one volunteer (me) thinks that.
I do not think I am outing ADK for anything that matters (since they already claimed VFD)... But if I were to guess, I would guess that they were given a piece of info about the set up, and they assume the other VFDs either got the same or similar pieces of information. This would be a very odd way for them to put their neck out there if they were in fact skum.
4) Awaclus - Based a lot on my TR of ADK, I am inclined to believe Awaclus is telling the truth about their role. Now, as this is a closed RMM... yeah he could be skum. But also, I do not think it is the best place to look for skum right now. They have said that they can verify their role down the road. I would say we wait on this one and put that to the test later in the game. If they are town, it sounds like the combo of info between what ADK and what potential Town!Awaclus are suggesting could be very valuable.
5) Ashes - I am the absolute nut low at reading Ash. And I am completely torn here... which doesn't really help. I do not get the wagon attempts on them though. I mean I get the whole "where is Ash with the game break plan" concept... but also the very beginning of the game was kind of already at that point. So I suppose FoS at the people pushing for Ashes.
6) MiX - This one is strange to me. For the amount of scrutiny that ADK got for claiming to be VFD right away... there was very little cast upon MiX for claiming NOT VFD. If there were a duo in the triple of Awaclus/ADK/MiX, the most likely is surely Awaclus!MiX based on Awaclus claim of targeting non-VFD and MiX then claiming VFD. It was also the second claim (like right away), so that was promoting people to jump on board and claim either VFD or Not VFD. Claiming in any way would benefit (to our knowledge at this point) both Skum and Awaclus. So either, it helps just skum... or it helps skum and Town!Awaclus. Either way - promoting the claim, while removing themselves from the VFD pool, could be a solid play from Skum!MiX.
TLDR; I am down for MiX or Awaclus. Leaning on MiX.
Vote: MiXPPE the post from Eddie that is making me check how close we actually are to DL.
