...reading from the beginning, Part 3...
Eeeh, I think part of the reason for the delays is my knowing how long it took to gather together all of yuma's quotes and paste them into my last post. Nobody seemed to care about that, so I'm not doing it again here. Sorry all. I just don't have the hours to spare. :p
ftl's Day 1 posts! Once we get past RVS, I see...
- #144 and #145: voting Galz "to get things going." 4th vote on Galz at the time (with O, abirds, and Axxle).
- #179: challenges Insom's explanation of his response re: suitclaiming
- #210: says he voted Galz to get a reaction
- #214: says he tends to write long posts when scum and short posts as town; reiterates interest in response from Insom
- #229 and #230: asks abirds to explain why he thinks Galz is scummy
- #237: unvotes to prevent the votes on Galz from reaching 5, in case abirds votes on him
- #244: notes "there's no more wagon on galz and I still know nothing about him, got a town vibe of angrybirds though"
- #268: votes Axxle, joining wagon revved up by Eevee and shraeye
- #289: unvotes Axxle and votes Robz, saying he (and shark_bait and CF and O "all look scummier on reread")
- #335: says he's been in "hardcore lurk mode," his vote on Robz is "meh" but he doesn't have a better place for it
- #354: votes O out of nowhere
- #407: votes Axxle for a joke about Morgrim; unvotes at #417
- #419: "mafia among lurkers/nonvoters" (at the time he is a nonvoter)
- #451: votes Grujah, not joining Axxle wagon
- #556: reiterates townread on abirds
- #571: cites Goko, Dark Ages, and RMM2 as reasons why "I haven't contributed too much"; says O vote was because he seemed like scum O from M-V; says he'll "sheep Galz in the 'will vote for anybody' mentality"
- #575: says he doesn't have anything else to say
- #577: lists reads: ehunt neutral, prefers Insom lynch, surprised at no wagon on CF
- #591: votes Insom, preferring that to ehunt lynch, and following abirds and Axxle votes
- #596: questions O's reason for voting ehunt
- #716: agrees with Eevee he thinks Insom is scummier than ehunt (even after both doctor claims)
- #768: analyzing double-doctor debate, no solid conclusion, notes that ehunt is at L-1 and says he won't hammer him because not entirely sold on that wagon
- #876: notes that mutual-doctor-protection fails if two scumteams target same doc
- #882: notes that if both doctors survive day and one dies at night, town would "basically have to lynch the other and possibly waste a day doing that"
- #890: cites distrust of ehunt, Insom, and shraeye
Hmmm. Well, up until around #577, I don't see very much real content from ftl at all. He's joining wagons and casting votes for not very much reason other than to provoke reactions. After #577 he's more directly engaged, giving his views on ehunt vs. Insom, weighing in on the double-doctor issues. Preferring Insom's lynch to ehunt's lynch and questioning O's approach both tend to make him less likely mafia or WW.
Summary: Day 1 ftl reads like someone who wasn't very engaged in the game up until close to deadline, and then revved up at deadline - but also wasn't aligned with (or ignoring) the known scum parties. Maybe a slight town read. In any case, I see much less to raise suspicions than I do on rereading CF or yuma.
So let's look at the other existing wagon: sparky. His Day 1 posts that jumped out at me are...
- #146: questions Galzria's "interrogatory quintuple post"
- #156: cites "pro-town vibes about shraeye," noting his vote on Insom had support
- #176: math about number of nighttime deaths; challenges Insom's position on suitclaims
- #182: responds to shraeye re: nighttime death math
- #211: cites "longer posts = pro-town" theory; suspects Axxle, shark_bait, and Robz for lack of contribution; notes Galz's theory that scum look more like town suggests that Galz himself is suspicious
- #242: proposes going after a lurker or Morgim on Day 1, which is "Stab-In-The-Dark Day"
- #258: refers to himself twice as "on the chopping block" despite having no votes on him - I think responding to shraeye's having expressed suspicion of him in #248? Tells shraeye that he (shraeye) i's posting while tired, cites his typos, instructs him to clarify when he "feel{s} more refreshed"
- #263: votes shark_bait for lurking
- #275: unvotes shark_bait after he announces need for replacement, votes onto Axxle bandwagon
- #285: debating Axxle vs. Robz after the "a little jumpy" exchange
- #318: supporting Robz's behavior re: abirds
- #321: notes Axxle and CF voted Robz for contradictory reasons
- #418: unvotes Axxle to promote discussion of yuma's suspicion of shraeye
- #526: dislikes both Robz and Axxle wagons, supports Axxle's softclaim, two paragraphs wondering how SK would play, votes Grujah for not rereading rest of thread
- #689: is surprised he wasn't suspected for lurking
- #747: rereads from beginning, long analysis ultimately concluding that ehunt is town, Insom scum (votes for him), and Eevee also scummy
Rereading sparky Day 1 has me scratching my head about the wagon on him now. Is it primarily based on his "having a bad day" vote putting CF to L-1? Because, looking at voting patterns and results of Day 1, I'm not seeing much reason to suspect him. Certainly less reason to suspect him compared to CF or yuma.
I still need to reread abirds and Morgrim. In the meantime though, Vote: Captain_Frisk. He's still my strongest scumread based on Day 1 behavior and results.
Eevee, Grujah: as confirmed town and 99%-confirmed town respectively, help me understand your thinking: what makes a sparky lynch better than a Frisk lynch?
