Doc is eerily silent today (I will blame the timezone, maybe its nap time).
Bruh, day phase started
two hours ago.
Pre-Swarm Of New Posts Readslist post
Anyway readslist time.
WolfTown Core:
Me (duh)
Town Leans:
Anubhav - something about my gut just keeps pinging me in like every third post and I don't know how to describe it, which is why I pulled him from Core to Lean. Why he was in contention at all is that there's a pretty good chunk of me that assumes he's the defender again, considering he and Vro's achievements in that arena last game paired with this last NK being blocked (which, yeet). He also picked up points for agreeing with my sentiment about 'let the Seer Solve', though, even if I'm salty about the post I quote above.
BSR - In a game with this many Valerias, I don't trust any of them until we've found the 1-2 that are the scumteam. But I like his...er...one...post. The only post. It had townie flavor all over it, imo.
Gerrick - his D1 seems like Town Gerrick meta to me.
Null:
Colby - I have no sense of his meta (hence why my D1 reads are basically null), and it strikes me that while he has no sense of the new meta, he's picking it up quick. Weirdly, keeps making a big deal about historically always fighting Lau, but doesn't seem to want to do that this game? Maybe they're buds or maybe he's getting his sea legs.
Hydra and Taulover - Inactive but that's NAI; not filed with the 3 below because they're Valerias.
Cozmik, ENE, TGN - I'll likely change my mind as they post more.
LoS and Nyght - honestly, after last game, I may never fully trust either of them again. But despite that, they've been solvey as hell this game and that's a plus. Nonetheless, Anubhav's sentiment about LoS complimenting/clearing people who sus him last game and him doing so on Lau...well, worrisome. Still, I don't think both he and Nyght are scum, so it's at worst one or the other.
Scum Leans:
Lau - someone has to pad out this list and the fact that we're not at daggers drawn yet seems like a bad sign, since almost invariably when we're not, it's because you're scum and I'm often a fairly useful idiot.
Sapphiron - sorry fam, but 1) statistically speaking, you were Seer last game, implying you're not likely to be this game, and 2) you're a Valeria, which means 3) high scum likelihood.
In the intervening
41 posts (seriously, guys, it had only been an hour when I first put this in, now it's been 45 minutes
since then,
please, we can't keep
doing this), however, some people have changed positions dramatically.
I've basically 180ed on both Anub and Lau and switched their positions accordingly.
Anub is now a scumlean: largely this is informed by just how similar I feel his play is right now to LoS' last game, which was a staggering amount of activity meant to corral people down a particular avenue to a mislynch like a powerwolf in sheepdog's clothing. While there doesn't seem to be a certain specific
target being chased, the emphasis on inactive people, when, like, hell, maybe at least some - e.g. Tau's expressed this will likely be 'his last game of WW' because of the activity spike - are just
put off. We've had this problem happen before. And the 'Doc sus cause he hasn't posted yet, 2 hours after the phase started' thing is particularly grating now that I'm considering this angle, frankly.
Lau is now a townlean: he's seemed largely focused on clearing and pointing out NAI behavior, but especially that catch on how Anub's play has seemed
off is sort of crystallizing how I'm feeling about his posts.
BSR made another post! Which I like the reasoning of, so ratcheting him up slightly, from 'town lean' to, er, 'slightly more town lean'.
I grow less convinced of Sapph's scumminess, which was mostly based on probability anyway, but is a dumb and unfair way to play. I've bumped him up to Null accordingly.
So the new, short version readslist:
