TL21xxs response, whilst understandable and for all intents and purposes may be legitimate, does not lend him a strong position as a contributing member of Hope. I am genuinely regretful to have to say that TL21xx may be a dead weight to Hope in the long run if he does not pick up his level of participation. Naturally, this is just a game and real life concerns should always come first for everyone so I do hope that this comment is not taken to heart.
Game-wise, his reply gives me nothing in terms of player reads so I am obliged to relinquish the vote on him for the time being.
Unvote: TL21xx
However, I do notice one thing: which is that TL21xx has picked Terrabyte20xx as Hope in Post no. 3121, whilst picking on kingkitty and Rest as his suspicious players. On the other hand, Terrabyte20xx has consistently spoken for TL21xx. I recalled that Terrabyte20xx was the person that reminded us that TL21xx was driving through Texas on the time where CzarTims vote was on the line. And recently, Terrabyte20xx has been consistently favourable on the issues of TL21xx.
Additionally, Terrabyte20xx has also picked on Rest as his Punishment candidate, quite aligned with TL21xxs stance.
This hand-in-hand approach may be of circumstantial happenings but it was something that I noticed and I thought it has enough interesting factor in it for me to mention it, for Hopes consideration.
I will now present my daily reads.
I believe the following players are Hope-aligned:
- Ty4on Posts insightful reads and theories. Asks questions where they need to be asked.
- Pau protective but pragmatic.
- Swamped Active and participates well.
- Sawneeks Resolute. Has been on the receiving end on some suspicion. Able to defend herself well without losing patience or reason.
- CornBurrito Passionate. He has now eclipsed CzarTim as top poster. Has slight tendencies to shoot from the hips but his intentions come across Hope-aligned.
- Makai Somewhat aggressive but contributes steadily throughout.
- Christina Mackenzie inherited Barrylockes role. I found Barrylocke to have been a Hope-aligned poster when he did post. His reads are spot on and his analysis was meaningful. He was also targeted as an easy mark by some players.
- Royal_Flush great new voice. Energetic and thoughtful.
Players that I find harder to read:
- Rest He remains watchful of the game but he no longer possess the kind of fire that he displayed in Day 1. His intentions seems to be Hope-aligned, but I may be distracted by the fact that two of my suspects have the habit to pick on Rest, creating an effect of the enemy of my enemy must be my friend.
- *Splinter I am ambivalent on Splinter. He makes interesting posts and I like the sound of his positions but theres still doubts on this player in my mind.
- Zippedpinhead He has become much more pronounced in Day 5 and not as middle of the road as he had been in the earlier days. I am starting to lean Hope on Zippedpinhead but I would welcome more contributions from him.
- AbsolutBro I had pegged him as Hope earlier on since it would take considerable risk and courage to out CzarTim in his encoded message without anyones prompting him to do so. CzarTim was in no manners held suspicious by anyone at that stage of the game. It was AbsolutBros tips that alerted me and sent me upon the path of suspicion of CzarTim. However, I am not as sure as I was. There is a slight chance that he may be playing the long game according to my Hope fellow players and I am unable to dismiss it any longer.
Suspicious list (remains the same as per my previous post):
- Kalor Slippery as an eel. I still await for Kalor to make a bolder stance on some issues in order to be able to determine his alignment, if at all.
- Terrabyte20xx Odd voting pattern and behaviours. I cant quite reconcile this players narrative.
- Kingkitty If I have to pick a potential third-party player in this game, it would be kingkitty. His Day 1 behaviours remain a mysterious enigma to me and he subsequently submerged himself in the middle of the herd only to surface to make the occasional posts. When he does make a post, however, they are of contents and thoughts.
- TL21xx Unfortunately, at the best case of scenarios, he seems not to have been afforded enough time and space to enjoy this game to the fullest potentials due to his real life constraints, which may render him a baggage to Hope to lug around in the long term. At the worst case of scenarios, he is a Despair coaster.
I am left with little options for a strong lynch candidate for Day 5. I will return later with a new vote, but I do believe that we are in a considerably favourable position with regards to risking chances of mislynches.
