Sorry its taken so long to get this up. I wanted to go through everybodys posts again, and Ive been soft resetting for a female Popplio with my other hand (multitasking sucks). Im tired and my eyes kind of hurt, so Im sorry if its not too good.
Read List
11037: Null, leaning town. Hes been a fairly consistent presence throughout the game thus far. Doesnt post too frequently and his posts arent groundbreaking or anything but they feel just fine to me. I get the feeling that with more information as the game goes on, hed be an asset to town (unless hes scum in which case rip).
BlackBuzzard: Null, leaning scum. As somebody else said earlier, his scum reads list was about as safe as you could make it. The reasoning behind his initial vote against Vanguard also felt fairly safe. Safe isnt necessarily a scumtell, of course: I think the reasoning behind his decision makes sense
but it isnt hard for scum to try to coast by doing things that make sense- especially when town members make it easy for them. One thing I noted is his discussion with Flux about sacrificing a player. Hes new so its totally understandable that hed have questions, and he did seem to accept Fluxs explanation, but I the possibility he was testing the waters to see if he could take that angle to make Flux look scummy crossed my mind.
II-Vanguard-II: Null, leaning scum. Hes gone totally MIA, and he didnt really contribute too much before he left. Makes me think of a scum player backing away after thinking that they might be in over their heads, so as not to implicate themselves. If Style were to flip scum, it would be worth considering the possibility Sorian proposed, where Vanguards vote became stuck on Style, who has continued to make himself look suspicious, giving little plausible reason for Vanguard to lift his vote. Could work vice versa too, I suppose (with a scum Vanguard flip).
exmachina64: Slightly leaning town. He seems to have gotten a bit more aggressive as the game has gone on. OMGUS weirdness aside (upon reflection, Im willing to accept it was a joke), Ive got a mostly gut feeling hes town.
Flatearthpandas: Null, leaning town. Refer to my
post #322 for my thoughts on him up to that point. After that thought? I cant really claim that hes flying under the radar nearly as much anymore. Not sure if its because people started to wonder about him or because he simply found more time/leads that caught his attention, but his activity has picked up, and without much in the way of filler posts. I think his Exodu5 vote had decent reasoning.
FluxWaveZ: Null. He feels like a pretty fierce poster, and certainly not one whos wanting for posts- a quality Ive seen in both scum and town players. His responses to things are generally well reasoned, and he seems pretty good at prodding for information. It was kind of weird when he asked PK to vote for Style, and revoted for him when he elected not to?
franconp: Leaning town. I dont agree with all of his arguments, but he feels like a townie trying to put in some effort at least. Hes active and seems unafraid to present different angles. One of my higher town reads atm.
WhereAreMahDragonz: Null. Shes mostly commenting on other peoples posts, my opinion might improve with more proactivity on her part. Not too much to go on, otherwise.
Natiko: Null, leaning town. Feels fine so far? Hes new and seems to be putting in a solid effort. Nothing scummy stands out from the posts hes made, and the post where he misunderstood when scum team could communicate does raise the odds that hes not on that team.
PK Gaming: Null, leaning town. Sorian said something like PK is so newbie town it hurts. I pretty much agree with that assessment. He hasnt given too much to work with, but I cant say Im feeling hes very scummy right now.
Plop: Leaning town. Activity levels are pretty solid, especially for a new player. He seemed a bit hesitant at first, but I think hes getting more used to things. His posts feel like hes trying to help, doesn't seem to be afraid of adding things to the discussion. I feel pretty good about him being town atm.
Hyperactivity: Null. Youre living up to your name, lol. Posted quite a lot since youve joined, yet, maybe because Im really tired atm, but I cant really get a grasp about how I feel about you one way or the other. You seem to be putting a lot of thought into most posts though so thats something.
Ty4on: Null, leaning town. Youve been very proactive since joining, and Im feeling pretty solid about a lot of it. I know you can play a mean scum game, but I do think the odds of you being town are higher than scum, because the amount of your posts, and the pace of them, would leave a scum player a lot of chances to slip up. I didnt notice anything fishy, so I feel okay about you for now.
Sorian: Leaning town. Hes somebody a townie usually wants to trust, because his presence is very easily felt, and his points are typically well reasoned. For the time being, I dont think my mind will change on Sorian feeling like town, until we start getting information and results throughout the game. At that point, if hes still alive, we can start trying to piece together potential narratives for how his actions might make sense from a scum perspective.
StarSketch: Null. Shes playing like she usually does in the games Ive been in, where shes been town, but her posting more infrequent than usual. As a result, I dont think I can put her as leaning town in any way. Not much to call her out on for being scummy either, although (and I know Ive mentioned this experience a few times already) Im reminded of when I was a scum. Im never an active poster, but I think it was even more profound when I was scum. I often wasnt confident enough to post much, maybe thats the case here?
Style: Leaning scum. Weird behavior thus far, to the point where you have to wonder if hes just a really unlucky town, with the entire scum team cackling from the sidelines. The PR claim makes me hesitant to vote him off though. I think hes been scummy, but there are other targets Id be okay with today, so I am down to give him a chance to prove his alignment.
TheExodu5: Null, leaning scum. FEP with his vote post and Sorian in his read list brought up some interesting points. Honestly despite your decent post count you havent left much of an impression on me this game, which is weird. This is a small thing, but you speculated Ty4on might be an ordinary townie because it would make sense for Rynam to quit as a result of dissatisfaction with his role. Im kind of uptight about this sort of thing, but I dont like giving scum any hints as to what roles people have, if avoidable. Also possible is that you and Ty are both scum, you were initially keeping some pressure on Rynam to create distance (and you knew your argument wasnt likely to get much traction), and you took his unexpected replacement as a chance to back off.
Verelios : Leaning town. His posts seem good to me, and his activity levels are high enough that I already had a pretty good idea of how Id read him before I went through his posts. Could be relying a bit too much on my gut, but Im feeling okay about him for now.
Zippedpinhead: Null. The nullest of the reads. I honestly need more before I can form an opinion. I hope youll be able to get on again before day end, and that youll be more active in future days if still alive.
VOTE: II-Vanguard-II
Giving Style a stay of execution for now, don't want to risk the role. Voting Vanguard for now, but would be happy to vote for anybody I have leaning scum (outside of Style for now). Picked Vanguard because I feel a bit better about Buzz and Exodu5 than him.
