Well, Flame has appeared so I'll move on to the next person I want to see more from
Vote: combine42
specifically I want to know what 'serious shade' you were going to throw but had to double check before you said anything.
Honestly, because he said he was scum.
I know he was most likely joking, but there always is the chance he is scum having some fun by literally telling us his alignment.
I don't mean to be a "no fun allowed" buzzkill, but those sorts of jokes can cause legit struggles for the town side simply because it presents this sort of "what if" scenario.
Given that D1 votes are pretty much a shot in the dark, I figure why not get the "what if" out of the way.
Sooo out of everyone so far it's just Pop?
Doesn't really feel like you're trying to find Scum here, Corn. Especially with that last line, 'we'll do bad anyway so who cares'.
That was a quick sloppy extremely lazy read list. I'll amend it, with new info, by going person to person.
A quick and sloppy reads list on Day 1? It wasn't even that particularly far in to Day 1 either and it gave you enough for some reads? I'm still not seeing how you can be that confident enough that early to place people under 'Town' reads, like,
at all.
I also have a few issues with some of your reads. Bronx gets a 'Probably Town' Lean despite not doing anything? Pop gets a Townie O.K. despite, in your own words, 'not having enough to base a Town read on'? Flame's Scum read is basically just a 'well at least i have more than you' shade throw?
I really don't like this LoC. It feels like you came up with a reads list to look active and are now trying to expand upon it but I feel like many of your reads don't make much sense. Not to mention the summary of your 'contributions' so far are fluff, a sudden reads list, and then an expansion on your list. I'm not seeing active scum hunting, prodding, or questioning, I'm only seeing reactive contributions to look active. I want to get Combine out here first but I'm not feeling great about you, LoC.
As for what I think of current events?
I'm not looking into Pop's initial 'reveal' comment as anything alignment indicative. You could argue it's a #unnecessarygambit for a Scum player to do or a weird attention grabber for a Townie, but it's honestly WIFOM territory and it could go either way and I don't want to spend pages debating it. For now I'm choosing to ignore it and looking simply at what Pop has done since then to get a read on him and given the amount he has done I'm putting him at a null read.
I don't like QB's reads list. I've already said it but how people can get Town reads this early bothers me and I don't like it, mainly because it's easier for Scum to drop that Town read more confidently than an actual Townie, who doesn't know anyone else's alignment, would. I'm still waiting for his response to my question, but I lightly Scum lean.
Evilisk backing down and massive hesitance to put down a vote feels scummy to me, like he doesn't want his actions to be held against him later on and does not want to be in the line of fire. This could be new player jitters like Corn mentioned though, so I'm very conflicted here. Very light Scum lean.
I feel good about Coppa. He seems genuine in his questions and prods.
Kalor is a non-entity here, I don't like that. While nothing he has said so far feels bad to me, he's so huddled in the background I often forget he is in this game. Same goes for Combine.
Everyone else is null/unknown or my leanings on them are so tiny it's barely worth a mention. I can give you a full explanation of every player if you would like.
