Alright, so here's that look at the NQT slot I promised. We'll start with RangerCado, which shouldn't be too hard considering his lack of content.
So, we start with a what is to become the birdsong of this player, the
promise of future posts to stand in for actual activity.
To be fair, he did post the next RL day, with a fairly
long but otherwise relatively empty post. It's not terrible in and of itself, though, which is how he managed to sneak under the radar so well. There are some good points but he never follows any of them up later on. Again, I wasn't scumreading him for
this post, since it's all fairly decent, harmless points. Note how little attention he draws to himself. No one can say that he's ever really in the limelight.
Votes to extend and promises posts again. However, this time he
can't deliver allegedly due to RL issues. Fair enough. However, the in-game day doesn't end until roughly a week(!) later. That's troublesome, though he is replaced and we can begin focusing on NQT.
So here's some classic NQT analysis. (It's almost a parody, it's so classic, in fact.) "Scumreads" Scintillant, a townie I knew was innocent, and tries to set up a mislynch with passive pushes that are meant to lead town. He has barely a sentence on Masked_Krusader, who is his scumbuddy. Why should he have more? He doesn't want to bring him into the limelight.
Then we have this nugget of gold. NQT claims that he sees newbie players mislynched all the time, and then brings it up the
same day he mislynches Scintillant with blatant scummery. Talk about audacity, eh?
Here's where things get even more interesting.
NQT bring up some scummy stuff that Deus Asmoth has done and starts a wagon that he doesn't want to end the day on. Considering DA's behavior doesn't really change throughout the day, this is plenty suspicious. Then he's
busy for a while so we don't see much of him. He comes back to
continue to subtly manipulate other players' reads on Scintillant while accusing him of doing the same thing, to push Deus Asmoth just a little more with a blatant scumread, and to "find it interesting" that I'm "reading so much" into his posts. It's like he's implying that I'm scum for analyzing his behavior; that is, scumhunting is scummy to NQT this game.
He's too busy to play for a little bit. Eh okay.Then he finally shows up at the VERY end of the day, scumreading Deus Asmoth, finds issue with Cheeetar's reason for voting Scintillant(Apparently not enough of an issue to keep him from voting him!), soft-defends Scintillant for doing newbie things(Again, not enough of an issue so as to avoid mislynching him!), apparently scumreads me for scumhunting him and Deus Asmoth(You know, the wagon he started!), and then apparently scumreads 4maskwolf. Then there's
this lovely little nugget which I have already dug through earlier on.
Phew.
