Alrighty, sorry for the lurkiness toDay, RL has been busy. I'm going to write this post as I read, but the posts I quote will give you an idea of what I had read up to when I wrote different things.
A_Future_Pilot: So far today I've felt like both SPF and Micro have made good posts that have reduced their scum reads IMO
zazak09: Please be more specific.
Micro has given his scum reads, been engaging with people, and generally acting quite different than he was D1 and D2. I now have him leaning town.
I'm still on the fence about SPF. I do think he's been engaging pretty well so far today, but I don't have him leaning strongly one way or the other.
Like I said above, it's not just a policy lynch. I'll honestly say I'm having a harder time deciding on who seems more scummy than other people right now, but I think GR is a good candidate for lynching.
zazak09: Who do you think is his potential scum buddy then? I'm the only one actively resisting his lynch. Is it me?
Furthermore, in the event that he flips town, how would that inform your reads on other players?
If GR is scum, I'm not sure who his scum buddies would be. I'll also acknowledge that lynching him wouldn't give us a huge amount of information. Having said that though, his lurkiness and his lack of defense as the wagon piled on didn't sit well with me. As a town, why in the world would he not defend himself better?
Cadaver747: AFP posts are fine, but I don't like how easily he switched his votes during Day 2. AFP mentioned that he re-read the posts, yet he put me on his watch list since the beginning of Day 2 with little to no explanation (like Genocide did before him).
I explained my voting in 481.
I made multiple posts reasoning through why I thought you might be scum (mentioned below).
Cadaver747: But putting me into scum faction because I used brackets ("parenthetical") in my post which he read first and then re-read again to find it very "scummier" was too much even for my standards, like I or anyone else never did this before, you may check the first 50 posts (it's page 1 in my case) and see for yourself how me, gogtrial and PookaMustard put words into round brackets.
You keep saying that the reason I thought you were scummy is because you wrote something in parenthesis. It's what was IN the parenthesis that was the problem, and it had absolutely nothing to do with how you wrote it. I've already explained that (462, 481). Beyond explaining it though, I reasoned through the possibilities and came to the conclusion that my initial suspicion didn't make sense, and I unvoted you (vote change in 462, reasonings in 465 and 466). I really don't understand why you continue to cast shade on me for my flawed reasoning, when I was the one that pointed out its flaws, and removed my vote.
Cadaver747: Lately AFP acknowledge my defense and was satisfied by it (or not), still he put me as "overly defensive" (post #483). I don't think AFP is mafia, but I just don't get his logic sometimes. And to be honest for reason I thought that Genocide was a some type of lyncher with 2 targets win objective: SirPrimalform and Cadaver747. It's not the case now, I think the targets should have been changed, but I don't know anything.
AFP could be a good Town and Neutral serial killer.
>> Why I am the only one who thinks that you are very strange person?
I'm really not sure why you think I'm strange lol. You've been overly defensive in that you've continued to defend yourself against me, long after I've admitted my reasoning was flawed.
A_Future_Pilot: I suspect Cadaver isn't vanilla, but what abilities he has I'm not sure (and I'm not suggesting he claim or anything, just voicing my thoughts).
SirPrimalform: That... is not a helpful thing to say. It's borderline rolefishy.
My intention isn't rolefishery at all. I'm frankly just very confused by Cadaver, in part because of how much role speculation he's done this game.
----------- Reads a good bit ---------------
Well frick, zazak just went all out on SPF didn't he? And I came out of it with scum points to zazak and town points to SPF. Zazak bases entirely too much on The Way Things Work™ and entirely too little on the way things happen around here. (Having said that, zazak I'm sorry to see you go. Even though I'm not a huge fan of your playstyle, I think you have contributed a lot to this game!)
PookaMustard: ..."wanting to sound worried" is only something I'd expect to hear from scum..
Cadaver747: That's gold! I thought after AFP's accusation reason about "round brackets" no one would beat it, but you actually overdid it. I like that you are suspecting me, truly. But you better find something serious for my case, I don't know, a "discrepancy" maybe.
And yes, I wanted to sound worried, that was my intention. I'm not denying in any way.
I think this is a perfectly reasonable thing to be suspicious about. The fact that you relate it to your straw man of my argument makes it even scummier.
SirPrimalform: Stop being so parenthetical man.
That literally made me bust out laughing lol!
OK, so now I'm all caught up, and I'll no longer be lurking. My current reads are (in order from most scummy to least):
1. GR - I still don't think he has given a good defense, or been particularly pro-town throughout this game
2. Yogsloth - Sorry, but zazak's attack of SPF didn't gain any town points IMO. Maybe my mind will change once you start posting :)
3. Pooka / Cadaver - I'm concerned Pooka has slipped under the radar for a lot of the game (at least he has for me). You're not a hard read either way in my book. I feel like Cadaver is overly defensive and has made multiple mistakes, but overall I still think he's probably town.
4. ZFR / SPF/ Micro - At this point I think the three of you are probably town.
Having said all that:
Vote Gamerager Let me know if there's anything I missed that y'all would like my opinion on.
