Hey everyone, time for a lunch break update.
A few people have hopped straightaway onto a Voltaire wagon. I still think he seems townier than most. Certainly he has been very active, and I feel like he is coming under undue fire for trying to be a team player. I still have my reservations of course (certainly I remember his support of me yesterday, which might be interpreted as suspicious), but I don't think he's the best place to park my vote. I think his vote for EFHW seems reasonable and I was actually thinking the same thing--she was the originator of the mcmc wagon, after coming out of hiding with an inappropriately detailed analysis of him. That, her sudden change in posting frequency after lurkers were coming under fire, and shraeye's validation of her seem to make a pretty good case. But Galzria's rebuttal made me give pause, and honestly especially with the revelation of whom Galz could have been possibly enabling, it increases my town read on Galz as well.
Long and measured, that's something scum wants to do. They want to cover everything, but they want to be slow and contemplative about it so they don't screw it up. Flurry of posts is not their thing and getting their views out is less important than tripping up. For town: Tripping up is much less important than giving their views or voting. So for now, I'm going to vote: walrus
Fair enough. For me, I just don't know what I'm doing 90% of the time, so I'd rather 'watch and learn' to some extent without lurking excessively. I could see how this might be considered a scummy attribute though. If I had a posse of scum to coach me, I would probably be acting more confidently!
Walrus: Sheeps Voltgloss (#955) and EFHW (#989) on the mcmc case. Looks like scum jumping the easy wagon.
...
Liopoil/Jorbles and Walrus seem most scummy from this.
As I remember, wasn't I the second person to vote for mcmc? And then I didn't change my vote after that? Hardly seems like "sheeping" to me. I was considering voting for sudgy, who had the largest non-nkirbit wagon at the time, but I decided against it.
Last flip-reread. There wasn't as much to find as I'd hoped. The interactions:
Twistedarcher: In the beginning, shraeye and TA fight a little (#200, #563, #564), but later shraeye says he's getting „good vibes“ from TA (#830). Nothing after that. Doesn't look like scum bussing each other. Slight town read on TA for that.
Eevee: Has a town read on shraeye at the beginning, shraeye buddys Eevee for that. From that, Eevee look somewhat townie.
Sudgy: Votes for shraeye early, later shraeye votes for him. This situation looks much more like bussing than the TA thing. Slight scum read.
Walrus: starts out suspecting shraeye, ends with a town read on him. I could see scum or town do that. So null here.
Voltaire: He and shraeye fight a lot D1. It's perfectly likely that Voltaire killed shraeye. He could be vig or SK/second scum faction for that, I find vig less likely because given the size of this game, i expect two scum factions, and we don't have a third night kill. So scum read.
Liopoil/Jorbles: shraeye votes for him and then disappears, even though he knows that he's likely to be lynched and he could vote mcmc instead. This makes Jorbles look more townie.
EFHW: Gets defended by shraeye late D1. Leaning scum for that.
With this, I'm concluding my recurrent segment „flip analysis“, and hopefully can focus more on the things that are going on right now. I will also vote: Walrus as he came out looking the scummiest from this. Another thing I'm taking from this analysis is that Eevee is likely town.
So...you have a null read on me and a scum read on 3 others, and that makes me the scummiest? I mean, if you find me scummy you find me scummy, but your vote doesn't seem all too consistent with the rest of your post. What makes the scummiest exactly in your mind?
I have no problem showclaiming personally, because in fact you could have already deduced it, as Voltaire has confirmed it. Because so many people have claimed already, I think that mass showclaiming is not a bad idea right now, although I'm still not 100% on chairs. How many freakin' power roles are there floating around???
