So, I’m back! Sorry for the disappearing act. I don’t even have a good excuse, I literally just forgot to check in. To make it up to y’all, I spent the night phase rereading and have typed up my thoughts on everyone, organized more-or-less in towniest to scummiest. Mel was a the top of the list, but well...
Here goes nothing:
Red Mones – pushed Ruguo way harder than they would have if they were scumbuds. Good vibes all around. Logical arguments, all that good stuff. Reading town.
NyghtOwl – Asking questions, providing own reasoning, seems to be thinking and acting on their own. Town.
Vro – Has driven lots of discussion with questions, accusations, etc. More information and discussion is always better for the town. Also the 2nd person to vote Ruguo. Posting style and tone is highly reminiscent of last game. I’m reading town.
Doc – Every argument has had a very logical progression. Push against Vro in D2 isn’t great, but reads more to me like an independent act, rather than anything coordinated with other wolves. Town lean.
Anubhav Ghosh – Posts here and there, with some reasoning and logic. Voting patterns so far check out, but not a ton to go on. Slight town lean.
Michi – Very quiet D2, but I can understand why. Voted Ruguo when Vro still had the lead if I recall correctly, so that’s good. Slight town lean.
Sapphiron – Still wish he posted more. But what he said D2 made a lot of sense and I’m in agreement with his assessments. Have nothing else against him, so eh, not really a point of concern for me anymore.
TGN – Chaos. Attempted some reasoning in there. Want to hear more of their thoughts, but I’m saying slight town lean
Imaginative Kane – Has made some contributions to discussion. They mainly seem to disagree with all the main bandwagons and are just kinda doing their own thing. Could be a sign of independent thinking, or could be scum trying to lay low by avoiding bandwagons. Don’t really have a read either way.
Gerrick – For the life of me, I can’t read him. I had the same problem last game. But people I trust are sussing him, so I’ll hesitantly say scum leaning.
Cozmikrae – Hmm, I’m on the fence. Has asked quite a few questions to prompt discussion. Voting seems kinda weird though. Quick vote of Red Mones D1 (yes, it’s D1, so not really putting tons of stock in it, but still), ended up voting Hapi. 1st to vote for TGN D2, assuming I’m not missing anything. Last person to vote for Ruguo, after explicitly giving Ruguo a chance to explain why it wasn’t them. Weird voting, but not really sure if it’s enough for me to sus as scum.
Wintermoot – Pushed against Vro for most of the game thus far. Also voted Red Mones D1, which may have been a random D1 vote, but I’m working with what we have so far. There’s some funkiness there. Slight scum lean.
BraveSirRobin – Minimal posting. Don’t really have a strong read, but the lack of a response to people pointing out he might be scum is kinda strange. Slight scum lean.
Minish – Has helped prompt a ton of discussion and make a lot of well-reasoned posts. But she just feels off to me. Besides the weird voting patterns, which were mentioned previously, her defense for her top reads plan D2 seems strange. She defended it strongly but admitted it had flaws, and went after Vro pretty hard. Maybe I just don’t appreciate how good Minish is but the fact that her one post defending herself basically boiled down to “If I was scum, I wouldn’t make a mistake” just makes me think she’s trying to use her reputation to patch up a weak spot in her townie appearance. It’s a lot to mull over, but she strikes me as kinda scummy. Could just be my lack of perspective though.
I think I hit everyone, besides those who were inactive/were subbed in. But if I missed someone just say who and I’ll give my thoughts there. Again, sorry for vanishing. Hopefully this give y’all a better idea of my thoughts right now.
