Ok so, Walrus reread.
Walrus's playstyle is interesting. I think 1 substantial post a day is ok as town, but it also seems like a playstyle that would be very accomodating to replicate as scum. That's also more or less what he was doing in GoT though.
However :
Sorry for my absence; based on the activity level in here though it looks to be a common state of affairs. I did want to get something down though.
OK, so time for my daily post, and I've got two pages about claiming to work with.
Alright, let me post something. I spent rather more time yesterday in the Detroit International Airport than I would have preferred. So I'm feeling a little burned out.
So I realized that I hadn't posted much about Jimmmmm
To me, it looks like Walrus is forcing himself to post, and even specifically being wary of not having given reads on everyone (the comment about Jimmmm). Basically it looks like he wants to be very consistent about his posting habits, and I have to ask : why would you care if you're town ? Shouldn't you just post whenever you have something to say ? That doesn't mean you should post six hundred times a day (I certainly don't), but I think I'm getting what ash was saying about Walrus' posts feeling "forced" on the reread. I looked back at his GoT posts, and they didn't have that kind of slight awkwardness at all. So this could be Walrus figuring out that his meta will let him get away with posting about once a day, as long as he makes sure that these posts seem substantial. The third quote is the most relevant here I think, as it shows he wants to make sure to appear balanced in his reads, which is definitely scummy in my eyes.
Interestingly, this changes when he's put under some pressure by ash. His posts are shorter, snappier. Now this is a pretty normal reaction I think, but it contrasts a lot with his posts before that, which is interesting. This is not what happened in GoT. Granted, we mislynched him there, so he could have decided he had to defend himself more to survive.
Now that I think of it, this was pretty much ash's case against him day 1 I think. Not sure why I didn't see it then. Sorry ash !
Then we get to day 2 and we have this of course :
I'm not sure. Well naturally my personal inclination is that scum would more likely be on, because I was off wagon. In fact I made a point of saying that I felt like we were heading towards a mislynch. My egocentric concern is that scum will use that fact to accuse me of defending "known" town to win towncred, to butter me up for a mislynch. Especially because I also opposed the Morgrim lynch, which was a mislynch for reals. But that could be improbable and self-centered. I'm not sure if anyone else came out as strongly against the wagon as I did...I remember Jimmmmm saying it was "interesting" how quickly the focus of the wagon had shifted.

Tell me I didn't just call that.
I think it's amazing that I was able to predict it so accurately. As soon as I saw the NK that's what my brain screamed at me. You know, I didn't know if I should post it to be honest, because I felt like it would just look weird and paranoid. But I am of the mind that it's better to post your thoughts even if they're kind of crazy.
And I'm glad I did. Not so crazy at all.
I don't really have anything new to say here, mcmc summed it up pretty well. Pointing out the way people might attack you is very scummy to me. You could do something scummy and immediately call attention on its scumminess to discredit future attacks on you, or you could, as Walrus does here, realize you might seem scummy in light of a flip and take preemptive measures. This could very well have been discussed in a scum QT during night 1 (or early day 2 for that matter).
His misread of ash's post seems like wishful thinking then, hoping that ash didn't see his post in PPE and that he'll be able to go after him easily.
Now I included the third post because others find it scummy, but it is actually pretty null for me. Walrus did seem very happy with himself when EFHW turned out to be town in GoT, so I think he just tends to do that.
In any case, this is more than enough for me to
vote: Walrus .
