I haven’t been properly posting recently due to a lack of sleep and an inability to think clearly due to the sleep deprivation. I don’t think I’ll be able to do the research necessary for a proper reads list, so let me rush out an improper one.
Iceytea: I’m basically certain he is town. Don’t know how much more I can say due to the methods used. Read my last interaction with him if you want to know.
Toaster: Makes a lot posts, (sometimes big ones), but somehow he’s managed to make no impression on me. I don’t remember him trying to make any cases either. I find this effort to results ratio weird. If one wanted to be invisible as scum without being accused of lurking, this seems like it would be be the best way to play. Also has a habit of asking questions that have obvious answers or have already been answered. Comes across as a way to make posts without leading the town closer to finding scum.
Overall, I think he’s the best beezlebub candidate, though NQT is still a viable possibility. When I first mentioned the PM, he was the one who told me not to pay attention to the time while the time was closest to his big post. Doesn’t mean too much since I can totally imagine !towntoaster doing the same thing. I’m more bothered by the fact that he asked me about the time when I received the PM though I already posted it down to the minute. He says he did it to make sure I don’t end up changing the story later on in the game, but I feel like !towntoaster would have worded the question differently, with the intent more obvious from the outset. As is, it feels like an attempt by !scumtoaster to cast shade on me.
Jim: I have agreed with very little he’s said this day which is strange since we’re supposedly on the same team. Is willing to belittle people he disagrees with, but rarely points out what he actually disagrees with unless you give him further prodding and even then, he only follows up sometimes.
This of course is all in character for a grumpy and busy vet who’s pissed off at all the Walls of Text he has to read, but that’s kind of a problem. I feel like Jim is just playing a character at this point. No one stays this angry 5 days in a row. You would have expected Jim to have mellowed out a little by now. It feels like !scumJim decided to play this role early on as way to justify not helping the town, but is afraid of changing his tune because A. he’d have to convincingly start appearing to help the town, which may be even harder for him, and B. He’s afraid people will catch on to the fact that what he did in the first few IRL days was an act.
Toonyman: Vector really does need to get off her high horse. Dolores and Iceytea were the cases that convinced me that he was a better lynch candidate than Trick, but as you can tell from the fact that I didn’t actually place a vote, I’m not confident that Toony is scum. If you ever read the very first beginner mafia, you would know that !townToonyman has a very flippant playstyle. Most, but not all of Dolores’ points can be brushed aside as Toony just being Toony. Thing is, I thought Toony stopped playing that way. I didn’t get that vibe at all when I played Bastard paranormal 3 with him, though that can be justified by it not being a normal mafia game.
I think claiming cop is a common desperation move by a scum trying not to get lynched. I don’t put any stock in it.
Overall, I can’t have a strong opinion on Toony since I never payed much attention to his posts and never went out of my way to read through them again for this.
NQT again. This is more of a response to Jim. I am bothered by his vote analysis specifically because it dishonestly casted me in a bad light. Iceytea had a problem with it too and what do you know, we both got hit by the contract.
So that’s what I have to say. I bet if I had the time to reread everything I would have better backed up or even reconsidered my points, but you gotta make do with what you can do.
