Alright then:
Teproc....
- Ok... my first initial impression of Teproc was that he was coming into the game using the "angry, contentious townie" impression that is very easy for scum to fall back on. Comes in and just is really against everything that is going on, from the current status of
theory talk, to the
current wagons. It is certainly one I have taken in the past (Wibbly Wobbely in regard to Volt's lynch day1 for example...)
- He didn't do much hunting at all early. He had a vote on me and then just talked theory for a really long time. Eventually he sat down on a
vote on chairs for not contributing. The vote wasn't too important to me, although it was indicative of how he was approaching the game... just kinda talking theory and realized he wasn't hunting and so went for an easy target? But instead it was what happened after as chairs had just made his "I forgot about the game" moment. Voltaire pointed it out and Teproc
responded very passively. Kinda like an "Oopps... that was silly of me, hope no one notices..."
- Next he moves a vote to
Jimmmmm but what is important here isnt' the vote on Jimmmm it is how he is responding to the votes on eevee... he says "I don't like Jimmm's vote at all though. The fourth vote is what makes it a wagon, and I don't think Eevee is a good wagon because of his relative lurkiness" which wasn't that basically the same reason he voted for chairs earlier. So one is a wagon he is willing to start, but the second is a wagon that he isn't? What is the difference? I think the wagons or the people aren't different (except for of course, the fact that some people found chairs to be townie because of his moment, but that is beside the point) instead the difference is how Teproc wants to approach it. I think scum nowadays wants to be the ones creating the wagons. They want to be in control and then attack those who are creating the wagons. And I think that is what Teproc is doing here (faust originally brought up this idea). He sees a wagon... I don't know the alignment of eevee so it is on town or a scum partner?.... and takes it down and tries to get a wagon started on a player that is on it... Jimmmm. To expound on this, he says his reason for
voting Jimmm is because he disagrees with Jimmmm's read. Disagreeing with reads doesn't indicate scummy. Scummy is scummy. Disagreeing is a convenient way to make it look like someone is scummy.
So those are the things that had stuck out to me as I was reading them as they came through. The first two I don't think are that significant in a sense. They are more what I would term "gut feels" even though I hate that terminology. To explain it, they are some of the things that I look for scum to be doing that make me want to look closer at a person... Kinda makes me want to keep my eye on them as town can do them as well (well town can do anything scum can do because the scum playing on here of late is exceptionally good I think) so they are more just triggers that make me think teproc has a chance of being scum, but don't necessarily make me think he is scum.
The third I think is potentially more important. As it shows a difference in how teproc is approaching different wagons and the difference depends on what he wants to get out of it. Also I think the excuse to find Jimmmm scummy because he disagrees with a read is weak excuse for his vote.
So maybe not enough to vote for, but like I said, I would be willing, especially compared to TA and chairs....
