Some reads since I finished my re-read:
1 [m] Bronx-Man
Town. It's been talked about already but his Day 1 actions against QB don't look like something Scum would do. QB was falling between the cracks and Bronx bringin it back up again which wouldn't make sense if they were on the same team as Bronx could have just let it slip away. Couple with this post
here and as well as this one
here, I think it's also safe to assume that Crab Cop-Checked Bronx on Night 1 and the Call-Out was tied to that. Unless Bronx is a Godfather and bussing QB was some insane unncesary gambit, I don't think he is Scum.
2 [m] Burbeting - GMT+2
Lean Scum. Crab's analysis has been brought up before and I do agree with it. Much of Burb's early activity is him posting things here and there but not really taking any stance for or against them. He's around and saying things, but he isn't really
there and contributing if that makes any sense. I also don't like how he voted for Kryptik the last Day Phase and just left it there. He Town Read Flame and wasn't about to vote for himself so I don't see why he didn't try and steer Town away from a lynch he felt was wrong. The Kryptik vote was dropped and he just sort of sat by the sidelines and watched everything.
3 [m] CCS - New - GMT
Lean Town? This one is sort of of odd and I'm conflicted on it but I'll try and explain the best I can. Much of CCS actions throughout the game have felt very genuine to me. His thoughts, opinions, votes, etc. haven't felt Scummy to me in the slightest and I haven't seen anything that really rings any alarm bells. However, like I said above, I don't know what to make of his comment about Acohrs and I. At first I interpreted this as him hinting that he was the Cop and I just let it be, but now with him clarifying today that it's the
latter of these two I don't quite know what to make of it? It's obviously not something aginast the rules since he is still here so either he's lying about the information he recieved or he misinterpreted something Cabot said outside of the game itself. But outside of that I do Town Read him.
9 [m] Evilisk - New - AEST [m] acohrs - GMT ( yes, I'm keeping both players together )
Lean Town. Evilisk was only here for Days 1 and 2, with Day 2 being nothing as he went MIA and didn't make a single post. His Day 1 reads to me like a very uncertain new player. Quiet, doesn't really take a whole lot of leaps, and doesn't fight when challenged. I don't really scum, or town, read it.
And then we have Acohrs, practically the complete opposite. Asks questions, prods people, explains himself and his reads/votes. Similar to CCS, his responses and general attitude feel genuine and nothing about his posts ring any alarm bells to me.
13 [m] kryptikjoker - New - PST
Lean Scum? I disregarded his overly defensive behavior of Day 1 as new player jitters but as the game has gone on there hasn't been anything that really makes me feel good about Kryptik. He complains on Day 1 that players
need to talk more in order to Scum Hunt better, but his activity doesn't reflect this line of thought. Instead of trying to get people to talk/discuss things, he often times just comes in, votes, and that's it. I also haven't seen any real Scum Hunting being done, it just feels like Kryptik is 'reacting' to things as they happen instead of really trying to figure it all out.
14 [m] Lord of Castamere - CST [m] *Splinter - GMT
Lean Town??? Now I can expand upon my crazy theory if anybody wants me to, but it's getting really late and I have work in the morning so I'm keeping this short. LoC comes in Day 1 and votes for Haly, staying away from the QB lynch in favor of someone he pinned as inactive Scum. Day 2 he comes forward and claims Multi-Shot Vig and that his shot missed on Haly, therefore Haly was Scum and he responds by voting for him. He later clarified that he was only a 1-shot Vig, but I still don't understand why LoC would claim after his shot failed and what he expected to happen. We rally and vote for Haly? His shot 'missing' wasn't anywhere near damning evidence so I don't understand what he planned to accomplish. Everyone, myself included, took this to mean that LoC was telling the truth or else why would Scum do such an outrageous fake-claim after they lost someone on Day 1? And this Town 'clear' kept LoC out of any attention for quite a while, honestly it wasn't until LoC disappeared that people were starting to call him out but even then it wasn't really a Scum Read call out, they just wanted his response. In that time, LoC coasted by without any attention where he voted for Haly and then voted for CornBro, the latter of which I felt had weak reasoning attached to it.
And then we have Splinter. Nothing he has done so far has felt overly Townie or overly Scummy to me, he's just been here ( and drunk ) and is starting to make himself known. I only put him in the Town camp because my theory above involves an incredibly ridiculous Scum Gambit and, frankly, I'm not confident enough in it to bet on it.
15 [m] Not - New - PST [m] Ty4on - GMT+2
Lean Town. Not was here for some time but didn't do much of note. He was incredibly reserved, didn't give his opinions much and most of his posts were about how he would be back later to make some more informed reads. He reads as someone very scared to put his opinion down, something I think can be attributed to both new Town and new Scum players alike.
In comes Ty. He's sort of all over the place when he first joins, voting Crab, then Burb, then finally Corn. I can go over again why I scum read his actions involving the Corn vote, but with Flame flipping Town I honestly do have trouble seeing Scum!Ty messing with the vote like that since it would bring unnecessary attention to himself for no reason. He's also been looking for anything and everything he can this Day Phase, asking questions, getting opinions from people, etc. and I don't feel like he is doing this to appear Townie, I feel like what he is doing is genuine.
If there are 3 Scum left I can see it being like this:
Burb > Kryptik >>> Ty/Splinter/CCS/Acohrs
With the 3rd Scum being someone in that final group, although who I don't know. I'd prefer to see Burb lynched today since he feels the scummiest to me out of everyone, however I'm going to refrain from voting for now since Splinter wanted to come back and voice his opinion first.
