(brief) summary of my summaries:
Jimmmmm- a slight scum read
mcmc- an uneasy feeling at the time of my post, made more scummy by the interactions after my post
robz- My first controversial "day pass." His behavior could be town or scum, but I think it will be easier to find one of the two other scum than decipher whether the behavior is actually town or actually scum.
Ashersky- My second controversial "day pass." Basically the same reason as Robz.
manda- New player I guess? My first time playing with manda. (as well as firsts mcmc, morgrim, teproc, jorbles, and walrus) I have found manda's posts to have decent content, and I lean town here.
Morgrim- Need more content. Nothing so far. Other than a good laugh. His brother is scummy for taking all the apples I would have had.
Walrus- Has been unable to post much, but from what he has I would say null to town.
Jorbles- I read as slightly scummy for what he had posted so far, but with an open mind because of Thanksgiving and the fact that I haven't played with him before. More comments to follow-up on his reply later. Not appropriate for this post.
Voltaire- I saved my tough reads for last. I really don't know right now.
Teproc- Lean Towny.
Now Faust asked me
who I actually want to lynch, so I better answer that since I did not actually do that. It is difficult, so I will put everyone in tiers.
Would lynch if we needed the vote- Jimmmmmm, mcmc, jorbles
Don't want to lynch but would if we needed the vote- Voltaire, Teproc, Walrus, Morgrim
Don't want to lynch- Robz, Ashersky, manda
Never lynch- Faust, 2.7
I know, that still doesn't answer the question, but it is getting somewhere. I am not ready to actually vote for anyone yet. Votes can be several different things:
1) RVS votes- usually very early in the game just to get things rolling, get some discussion, etc
2) Pressure votes- You specifically want more input from a person and so you vote for them. You hope that at least one or two more people will join you to make it more serious but you do not really want to lynch them yet.
3) Wagon votes- Someone has a few votes on them, and you decide to vote to further whatever cause was created by the first non-RVS vote on that person. So, for example, you may join a Pressure vote wagon (which makes your vote a combo of pressure/wagon) because you think that person really does need to be held accountable for what they said or they need to answer a specific question. Wagon votes can also be used as a disguising technique for scum hoping to get an easy lynch.
4) "I actually think you are scum" votes- You have a read on someone, you say why you have that read on that person, and you vote for them. You think they are scum and you want to eliminate scum. so you vote.
5) "I think it will be easy to lynch you" votes- This category is exclusively for scum. They gameplan who they want to target (a few different people maybe) and get a feel for the day and then slowly build up a wagon on that person. Not all at once (scum are smarter than that), but gradually and consistently to deflect people from thinking that they themselves are scum
There may be more categories, but these will suffice. It is a little too late for me to RVS vote, there is no one I can really see as a pressure vote person, I won't join the wagon on me, and I am not confident enough in my reads to really think that mcmc, jorbles, or jimmmmmm are actually scum. And I am not scum so category 5 does not apply to me. So I will withhold my vote until such a time as I deem appropriate.
