This has been a bit of a weird game development-wise I think. Only one serious wagon, and it's still just kind of hanging out there, up at L-2 now. It's a case that's appealing to a lot of people, which means, of course, I don't see it. I mean, I get the case (I think), but I don't understand why it's being just eaten up by everyone.
Anyways, everything seems to be sort of revolving around the sudgy wagon...this seems unhealthy to me for developing reads. But, I haven't really tried to solidify anything, so let's see if I can:
(As mentioned, I think ash's claim makes 3 scum essentially certain. So, 3/13 scum = base 23 scumScore)
sudgy: I see the arguments against him, but I don't feel like he's scummy enough to be getting this much support for his lynch. At this point, I am getting a little suspicious of his wagon...It's a slow build, but nothing else seems to be going anywhere. scumScore: 25
TwistedArcher: first voter on sudgy. Vocal proponent of his wagon/lynch. My gut says, scum doesn't usually do that. But then I think back to Innovation, and the argument with spiritbears. OTOH, he wasn't anywhere near the actual lynch (none of us were). Meh, that leaves me a shade on the scummy-side of neutral. scumScore: 24
yuma: second voter on sudgy. He seems to be playing a less blinder-focused game (than TA), although he's definitely going in for the sudgy-lynch. My memory of scum-yuma was him constantly bringing up partner Glooble as scummy. He's leading town somewhat, and obviously invested in the game (presumably due to his drought of games). I think you should be wary of yuma, especially if he has over-accurate reads. (although he could play up that angle and lead a bunch of mislynches too). I think I'm going to maintain a scum-read on yuma as I do with shraeye...just too hard to detect for me to feel safe with a town-read towards him. scumScore: 25
ash: third voter on sudgy. Huge gambit if he's scum. scum-ash likes huge gambits. He has also nicely set himself up to not self-vote, and play to a different meta due to his role. Ash claiming makes me nervous, because he's not being typical (VT) ash. But it's not necessarily scummy. And his reaction to it, is what I would expect from town-ash. It's just, scum-ash is good enough to fake it. Bah, I dunno...I'll lean town for now. scumScore: 20
Eevee: fourth vote on sudgy, abandoned for xerxes. Kind of quiet, but that's sort of normal for Eevee these days. Not much of a read here at all. scumScore: 23
nkirbit: defended sudgy, voted him over contradiction, retracted after explanation. Vote on Voltaire based on a lack of understanding about the possibilities regarding ash's fake-claim, which I'm still not sure he understands, but maybe Galzria's explanation will clarify it? I don't think the vote-then-retract was entirely townie...it's just a thing, that either nkirbit would do, or scum-nkirbit felt town-nkirbit would do. Pretty weak read here. scumScore: 24
mail-mi: is he lurking as hard as he seems to be? Voltaire had him in the bottom post-count. I just feel like, town mail-mi always looked scummy, but my only interaction with scum mail-mi has been lurking mail-mi. Is this really an invalid read (I think some spectators said it was?) scumScore: 28
Xerxes: also lurking hard, but new. I'd love to hear more from him, and hope to hear more as days go on. null here. scumScore: 23
Voltaire: this feels like town-voltaire to me. Admittedly, I've never played with scum-Voltaire. Probably once I've seen you all as scum and town, I'm just going to have no reads at all day1...but for now, I've got a town-read here. scumScore: 18
Robz: He's been super-quiet, but might be actually getting into the game. Cool, I was bummed that he basically never got into MXXX. He seems the same so far as Robz did there (i.e. non-participatory). scumScore: 23
chairs: I'm not sure how to read chairs. Has he ever been scum? I feel like his game-play is still developing, so it's hard to peg him down. He posts infrequently. His reads list is weird, half-joking. I'm not fully sure I understand all of his reads, which is vaguely suspicious (because they're easy to back out of if they're hard to understand). scumScore: 24
I'm going to vote: chairs. Not sure if Voltaire still wants his vote there, but I'm willing to join him and see where things go.
