My revised list of reads (town reads towards the top, scum reads towards the bottom):
Sage103082 - Although her vote places on Day 1 struck me as scummy, her recent posts on Day 2 have all struck me as extremely pro-town. Even her early indecisiveness seems pro-town in retrospect. The only thing that bothers me is how she said I might be "laying low" in
post 281; it might be the first time I have
ever been accused of laying low in a Mafia game!. But, really, none of this matters more than the fact that she is cuter and smells better than the rest of you.
trentonlf - I find his posts to be very pro-town. I might be biased though, because he and I have had very similar analysis since the beginning of the Day.
popperik - I am still not seeing what other see in his posts. He still seems like town trying to get a read on things, and voicing his thought process as he goes. It just seems too transparent (for lack of a better word) to be scummy or misleading.
RWarehall - His posts go both ways for me. Part of the problem may be that his are the posts I am most closely looking at, since he foiled me so badly last game. At this point, i am not seeing much, and what I do see makes me wonder if I am jumping at shadows. Thus, he gets the middle "I dunno yet" spot for me.
mrkgnao - I had a slightly scum read on him at the start of the Day, and nothing much has changed. He has been agreeable and helpful all Day, but has he been
too agreeable and helpful? Reading back over his posts, he seems to have shied away from ruffling too many feathers. It might be because it is his first game, perhaps it is just his personality in general, or perhaps he is trying to hide in plain sight. I am not sure.
amok - Humor can be used to distract, confuse, and mislead. Worse, it can be used as an excuse later. I am uneasy about the grudge comment he made in
post 290. It is a loaded question, and, when pressed about the motivations for it, he deflected by making a joke.
HijacK - Some folks mention that he is just too over-the-top to be scum. The argue that his posts are motivated more from wanting to stay in the game, rather than any nefarious origin. Perhaps, but I can see it going both ways. What I know is that he has behaved in the least pro-town manner of any of the players. Most of his posts are defensive, and what analysis exists I find to be pretty weak and mostly interested in directing attention off of himself (rather than actually towards anyone - except me).
