1. In any case, I'm pretty much sold on Tric being Town. (They have Excalibur. Glory be.)
2. I have a strong scum gutread on LuckyOwl, but I'd probably better take a step back from that, as that was part of my play around Vector, which with hindsight was at least partly crap. Did I say we should focus on gutreads as analysis and mechanics have killed nothing but town? Yes. Am I now stepping back from my gutreads on the basis that I might just be absolute toss at them? Yes. How am I hoping to find scum now? I'll get back to you, chief. Verdict? Going to leave this one blank for now.
3. Heydude: as I said, gut townread buuut we've either seen them perform every kill except for one daykill so far, so either the mafia is deeply thwarted, is stylin' on us so hard they refuse to nightkill, or this is a crazy gambit. Weird behaviour for scum - attempting to lynch Vector at the end would be a weird move, given
they could have just let me townflip and made Vector look bad.
Still... practically the only killer in the game... yeesh. Would lynch, I guess.
4. Leafsnail: I'd be happy with a lynch here at this point. I've been annoyed at people doing lazy "Leafsnail is lurking" posts, but given Vector's town I'm attaching slightly higher value to their "trust me this is Leafsnail scum meta" stuff. Had to restrain myself a bit when someone said I "wasn't attacking Leafsnail enough", but I acknowledge that their post count is on the lower end. I still think what posts they do have have made more sense, but that's not too hard for a vet.
5. Nirur Torir: a toughie. Doesn't actually post a huge amount some days, even compared to Leafsnail. Some sensible posts, some weaker arguments. Lean scum.
6. FoU: still think redirecting heydude onto NQT was pretty egregiously scummy. They did foreshadow that with FoS's on NQT, but still. They've been asking a lot of justified questions, but still with fairly weak/low risk cases: D1 and D2 Leafsnail, Jim for unhelpfulness/lurking, Toaster after he went hard on the masons. No votes Day 3, lots of helpful content, literally no questions. Day 4: A case on heydude (for just like, so much murder) which is fair enough but easy, and a vote on Leafsnail taking my probably flawed reasoning in a PLEASE STOP VOTING PEOPLE post
completely the wrong way. Again, FoU's engaging without taking risks or telling us much we don't know. The only deeply content-heavy thing as far as I can see was some FoSing and stuff for NQT.
I think this is strong
scum play we're seeing - the easy blandness of the ideas is like an ocean of porridge.
7. NJW. I'm town.
