So it looks like our options are turning into Jimmmm or Insomniac. I personally think that forcing a decision between those two players is a bit premature. Specifically I want to take a closer look at mcmc. Mcmc has been given something of a pass by most of town: the following excerpt is from lio and is an example of the general feel toward mcmc I believe.
mcmc is actually my biggest town read right now. like I said before, he was the only one actually against the kooshie lynch. His stance of claiming stuff seemed odd as scum, and most of all, his play seems different from DS9 and another dinner party, both of which he was scum in, and one of which I was scum with him in. I remember realizing right around his lynch in DS9 that his play was very similar to in another dinner party. It's different here.
Here lio provides a few reasons for why he thinks mcmc is townie and why he is his strongest read.
1. he was the only player defending kooshie. In the past this would be a scum signal. Defending a partner? But as of late bussing has become much more vogue. However, I think the tide may be starting to turn away from bussing. This is especially relevent when taking previous games into consideration. The past two games have been won by blatant scum defending scum action going on. Robz on mcmc in MXIX and yuma on EFHW in MXX. Whereas bussing has lost games of late. yuma on Glooble in MXIX, cayvie on Lekkit in MXVII. As such I have a much greater scum read on people that defend against scum lynches, not town reads.
2. any stance on claiming I think generally has no bearing on alignment because scum will generally express the opinions that they would have had if they were town.
3. He is playing a different game. This I am not so sure of. Especially w/o specifics being given.
Other reasons I am a bit suspicious of him...
1- He had a scumread on mail-mi. While I won't give mail-mi confirmed town status, I think he is pretty close to it, because he was the other viable lynch option and I just don't see scum allowing two of their players to become the focus day1. That would just be terrible play I think. As such, mcmc had a scum read on an almost IC.
Dissmissive yuma is unlike the town yuma I know, scum read for you. Not because of your position but the way you said it.
Yuma and mail-mi are fine lynch targets for me today.
In fact, vote: Mail-mi he seemed to change the thing he was doing that made me find him scummy. Whether that is scum trying to reel in his scumminess or town becoming towny as the game goes on I have yet to tell. But for now I am happy with this.
2 - I found his vote on me for being dismissive to be somewhat scummy. It was like he was looking for an excuse to vote for me and then jumped on it once he found it.
3 - he is also on the active enough to not attract notice but not super super active. This isn't a huge reason, but I think is where scum generally lie.
Now, obviously I want raerae to get in on this because apparently she has super human abilities to read mcmc. And I am not necessarily going to vote for mcmc at this juncture, partially because I am still somewhat VLA--only using my old appt's internet while I am supposed to be cleaning... and I won't have internet in the new appt for a few days--but also because I am not sure if mcmc is a beter lynch candidate than Jimmmm. I think he is a better one than insomniac.
Robz--is it possible to change the OP subject to Day2 and then on day3, etc in subsequent days. It helps a lot when trying to do Print screen searches to know what day it is. Thanks!
