full notes if you wanna read:
mcmc’s proposed voting bloc, mcmc, ADK, and pps, is 2/3 town. If it’s all town, that supports my theory that MiX was scum trying to get into it in case it became important.
#104 Gkrieg votes for ash for not having a plan. reads as a lazy attempt to start a wagon. This is shortly after a vote on Eddie for “a lazy vote”. Nothing super scummy, but eager to start “real” voting.
#117 gkrieg points out that scum doesn’t have any control over whether we’re in Lylo day 2
“If you look at the setup, scum has no way of influencing this set of things to happen, so I don't know why it has any affect good or bad for town.
this is the sort of info scum is more likely to have at their fingertips than town…
As usual, my townread on Glooble is wavering a smidge on reread. He’s pretty pushy about wanting setup talk to happen in #120
#131 MiX “calls” the scum team
“Scum team: joth/gkrieg/ss/e, mcmc's survivor. There, game solved. Oh, except I'm not sure who's traitor yet.”
pretty sure if scum makes a list like this it’s some town some scum, and gkrieg and e are the only two on here that aren’t conf!scum to me
e turns up at #133. Late entry into the game is notable if Swan’s day chat theory is correct. content is null, but could read “forced jokey”
pubby shows up at #138 with a vote for PPS and an emoji and that’s it. also late entry.
#143 ADK says he has partner vibes on MiX and gkrieg, and honestly I kinda had the same thought on this reread.
Very little relevant participation from pps so far. Mostly talking about how MiX and himself are too similar. This convo is a little too cute and also gives me partner vibes.
Not focusing on ash this reread, but man I cannot figure him out.
Swan very late entry at #153
Actually both apps and e are uncharacteristic lucky this game. I buy day chat as an explanation
#187 e jumps on the opt to explain traitor to debatepro. It has been said that scum likes opportunities to post and be friendly and helpful without scumhunting.
then there’s this whole discussion about DatSwan mischaracterizing ash and the end result of it is that Glooble looks townie to me again
#224 is pubby’s second post of the game. he votes for me with slightly more words and just as little explanation. we should have policy lynched him day 1 for the way he’s playing
I still strongly dislike MiX’s #240, but now I’m wondering if it’s partner coaching
#242 MiX pretty strongly defends Swan in the face of not that many votes
pps’s non participation is almost too blatant to be scummy. scum at least tries to look like their scumhunting
#285 is hubby’s third post of the game. he has an explanation for his vote on me. it’s not very good or understandable
in #323 ADK town reads MiX but scum reads e, hubby, and gkrieg, especially gkrieg
#339 MiX starts the debatepro wagon with uncharacteristic commitment. Especially weirdly it doesn’t end with a vote. MiX, who votes as easily as he breathes and posts in fits and starts, writes a very long on and earnest case on a player and then doesn’t vote for them. If y’all don’t do anything else, read this post and tell me what you think of it.
EFHW’s vote on the debate wagon at #403 is a scummy spot to get on the wagon I think. sort of reviving/reminding people when it stalled, but not in a townie way.
#408 is pubby’s 4th post of the game. it’s a direct response to Glooble’s question about his vote on me. It ignores all the other things that are going on and it’s not even that interesting an answer.
MiX’s #425 makes it very unlikely, to me, that both MiX and pubby are scum. You don’t leave your vote on your partner when you leave for the night before deadline when it’s very unclear who’s going to be lynched. Of the two, pubby is the more likely town to me.
Also, at the time, a lot of people were traitor-reading Debatepro, so it makes sense that scum would not want to plant their vote there, even though debate ended up being town. gkrieg also leaves his vote on pubby. same with e.
MiX comes back and re-ignites the debatepro wagon at #463. This admittedly does not fit with my narrative.
Also noteworthy, the pubby launch was derailed by UncleEurope and silver. So scum didn’t turn the wagon away from pubby, town did.
#482 and #483 are the pubby’s 5th and 6th posts of the game. He continues the conversation about his vote on me, and then jumps on the debatepro wagon, which in his case is pretty alignment-neutral
#510 made me chuckle
