Ok... tomorrow I start my on-week, meaning significantly less posting until next Tuesday. So this is probably my last larger post for a while... basically doing a reread of everyone (except sudgy, but including the sudgy wagon obviously) and trying to figure out where they are at...
1. Eevee - lurker! 24 posts; was on the sudgy wagon early. I think he was the 4th vote initially. I still don't get the xerxes lynch yesterday. I mentioned that I felt it was odd last reread and still do, but not sure what it means scummywise... Probably a bit scummy since it stands out. Ok, he did explain it after all, I guess I missed it before... due to xerxes bad read on sudgy/ash and him voting TA for not posting. Then a huge break... like ~350 posts in between his posts. If I remember correctly ash brought up an interesting case on eevee toward the end of day. That might be worth looking at again. The basic premise that town!eevee finds people townie and works from there. scum!eevee finds people scummy and works from there? And he was ultimately on the sudgy wagon, although partially self preservation at this point? Yes only mail-mi was voting for him, but there was some pressue... And nothing worth noting day2 except for the absence of stuff to note...
2. Robz888 - quick summary of his reads to take note of at the end: "xerxes expect serious heat tomorrow", "To the extent that I know scum!Eevee at all, I do agree with you here, ash" on ash's notes about eevee; voted voltaire pretty heavily throughout the day (although I personal disagree with how he arrived there). So suspicion of Xerxes, eevee and voltaire
3. Ashersky - quick summary of his reads to take note of at the end: "I think scum!eevee scum hunts, while town!eevee town hunts, if that makes sense. Town eevee is looking for teammates to NOT lynch, while scum eevee is looking for an acceptable mislynch with backing" case on eevee as mentioned before; "Was just going to ask if anyone was interested. That reaction to almost losing his scum partner sudgy was classic." not a valid reason anymore, but still was suspicious... "mail-mi is acti-lurking" So suspicion of mail-mi, eevee and voltaire
4. Voltaire - 102 posts: early suspicion of chairs and a xerxes town read (that has been sustained into today btw). moved to a vote on ashersky, went here a number of times throughout the day for a variety of reasons. I do find him voting ashersky to be a mixed bag. Ash was such a bad lynch and voltaire kept going back to it. Because he didn't think it was a bad lynch or because he felt it was a possible mislynch. I am inclined toward the first (or it could be that it was just how scum!voltaire thought town!voltaire would react... this I can see. Like me as mafia knowing that town!yuma would almost always policy vote a selfvote... sometimes trying to recreate your meta can be forced a little too much). Ended up on the sudgy lynch (with some distractions along the way via ash) was the L-2 vote. Received some pressure from Robz (unfair I felt) but stood pretty strong and reacted well to it. End of day his lynch pool was ash (still?!?!), chairs, sudgy with his vote on sudgy. Overreacted to ash's L-1 vote cause he thought it was a hammer.. again real reaction or how voltaire thought town!voltaire should react? And day2, came in ready and willing to L-1 theorel, has done so, maintained a town read on xerxes and hasn't really separated anyone else out yet. Did bring up the idea of mail-mi being like theorel, so scum hunting there...
6. Twistedarcher - 74 posts: was the first on sudgy and basically stayed there all day long. Only moved his vote once I think.... Lots of theory talk... maybe not as much as others, but it sure feels like he is only talking theory for a long, long time... After that strongly says ash is town, says no alarm bells from mail-mi, and not much else... Actually I think if there is scum on the sudgy wagon it is most likely TA. Really only voted for sudgy all day (he had a vote on voltaire very, very early) but after that stuck on sudgy, talked theory and didn't really say much else despite having 74 posts. This is a flag for me. I don't think I prefer him as much as theorel, but I would consider him if theorel's wagon somehow died. Day2 was on theorel as the third vote, kinda reacted funny when I said TA might be bussing to a theoretical.... It would only be incriminating if theorel were 1. lynched 2. flipped scum. If neither of those happen TA doesn't get heat, but he was acting like he was awfully close to the fire....
7. Theorel - 75 posts I think people know how I feel here. I'll reread again and post anything that isn't significantly related to sudgy and is still important... Hard to read past all the theory talk to find the nuggets... Had an intentional removal of a RVS vote that Robz finds scummy (I am still up in the air on that, but worth pointing out I suppose)... as mentioned finds nkirbit scummy for the narrative that theorel created to find someone scummy by... theory, theory, theory.... does his scumscore (after I mention that it was odd that he hadn't done one yet, btw) has higher reads on mail-mi (28), chairs (24), nkirbit (24) yuma (25) sudgy (25) and a really, really low, almost unexplained read on voltaire (18) that is lower than ash's (20)... interesting and votes for chairs... and then backs off on chairs as it has received no help from outside... Day2... not much, hasn't fully responded to the case or wagon on him, very intersted to see what he has to say when he gets back. Nothing I saw here made me change my read on him, a couple of things added to it.
8. Sudgy - not interested in
9. Mail-Mi - 31 posts; already talked a bit about him. Honestly looks like standard mail-mi to me. As TA says, no alarm bells. He did avoid the sudgy lynch, but I felt that was because he had a significantly stronger scum read in TA and one that I think was somewhat justified. So not concerned with him there... His reaction to the theorel wagon isn't my favorite, but not super incriminating.
10. Chairs - 25 posts; after theory and fluff posts arrived on the sudgy wagon; and nothing else.... Fun. This is our best lurker lynch candidate I think. I don't really have a solid read on him... But the question is: do we have a better option than a lurker lynch? I think we do.
11. Nkirbit - 53 posts; I still think his on/off/on reaction to sudgy midday was townie. Also votes Robz and Voltaire throughout the day, those votes looked fine to me. Seems genuinely interested in scum hunting I think... The xerxes vote isn't my favorite, but he is looking at people voting for ash... interesting thing here that nkirbit is voting xerxes for:
I don't want to vote Ashersky because I don't think he's scum. I'm most suspicious of Xerxes' out of all the people voting for him.. it seems like the type of bandwagoning vote that scum would make.
Vote: Xerxes
But just recently said:
Do we think that scum would look to jump on this wagon, faking frustration (or having actual frustration) with Ash, and hoping the wagon would go through? I'm actually torn... I think scum want to avoid "obviously bad wagons" that won't go through for town credit, so I'm going to give some towncredit to Xerxes and Voltaire for being on this wagon. I think it's just more likely that scum avoid the Ashersky situation entirely.
So there is a change of thought. Not necessarily scummy, especially as we now have ash's alignment confirmed, but nkirbit any comments on why the change of thought in regard to this?
12. Xerxes - 15 posts: was pretty willing to band wagon to get the game going. I understand that thought concept. His first 7 posts into the game all deal with voting in someway or another (voting, unvoting, or voting incorrectly) that reads townie to me. new scum I think is much more cautious with their vote. I mentioned that I wasn't a huge fan of his mass claim suggestion start of today. Thought it might be scummy. Could be but I think I am reading town here...
13. Galzria - reread Galz yourself if you want to know the thoughts of our IC
So overall reads:
scummy: theorel, TA followed by chairs and eevee mostly for lack of readability
nullish but both on the slightly townier side I think: voltaire, mail-mi (more townie than volt, maybe volt on the slight scummy side)
town: yuma, galz, xerxes, nkirbit (nkirbit the least townie here, but a pretty big difference between nkirbit and mail-mi I think... although that change in attitude to the ash wagon is a bit troublesome.)
