Kind of a soft list seeing as it’s D1, there’s too many people to figure out, there’s too much distraction that I can’t escape from, and my motivation for the game tanked after Lenglon’s outburst, but here goes, in loose town-scum order, after Lenglon anyway:
Lenglon is TP.
Knightwing feels like town KW, panicking a bit when attention turns to them and insisting they’re town. Making some moves here and there, hopefully developing their game a bit. Could be getting coached, but he was town in NQT’s game and was acting similar so… benefit of the doubt given.
EuchreJack is… probably town? I mean, town!EJ usually goes through phases of rampant paranoia which I haven’t seen, particularly when people pressure him, but he’s making an effort even if that effort is a little bit weird at times (voting 4mask to see what happens, townreading Max as he agrees with Max) but it feels like he’s hitting the right notes for the most part. I find it hard to believe the change in mentality could be solely down to being coached in scumchat, particularly with the frequency of his posts, but I’ll keep that in my back pocket for the time being, just in case.
NQT started out with some analysis of previous games, which is a good way to look active without actually doing anything, but followed it up with pokes and prods of other players. Said he’d wait for stragglers to post a reads list, has done so but I haven’t read it in detail yet. Town-lean.
Toony has been engaging with everyone as far as I can tell, driving the game forward. He’s perfectly capable of doing this as scum, but I’m happy to say he’s town at this point. Will keep tabs.
Jim posts one big post a day, which is fine, seems to be poking at people and issues they have. Had a lot of trouble with my conclusions re:Lenglon, but I think I may have a stronger opinion on benign/neutral third-parties and how to deal with them than most people, so… probably not something to worry about? Another one capable of seeming town when scum. I’m less sure about him than Toony, and I seem to be wavering on him based on other reads, mostly Max.
Persus13 hasn’t done a whole lot, poked at NQT a bit, did point out that Tric really shouldn’t know Max is setting up mislynches, though I don’t know how much experience Persus has with Tric’s particular brand of madness. Did offer reads in multiple players when prompted though, and asked questions of those they weren’t sure about as a consequence.
Vector is ill, can’t really fault a lack of action as when I had Covid it was faaaaackin’ bruuuutal even after getting over the initial infection, so hopefully they recover soon.
Tric is being sufficiently unpredictable that I go back and forth on being sure he’s town and then sure he’s scum. I think I may need to see clips from other people to truly get a read on him if he isn’t flipped first.
Egan_BW was not present for the longest time, and I have seen them completely disappear of the map as scum. Explicitly said they weren’t going to engage with the game pre-entrance, though subsequently appeared to. Did say pre-game they were going to play to tilt people, has cooled on their initial energy since arriving.
4mask is 4mask!4mask. He didn’t start the game with his usual scattershot voting, but he’s being playful, if not particularly forthright in pushing people, and is using other people’s reads on Tric to scumread Tric, which I don’t like. Something to keep an eye on.
Max is being typically cagey and weird for Max, which is normally difficult for me to get a read on, but he seems to be getting a little opportunistic with the voting maybe? Said he would vote people based on whether he didn’t know much about them, whether or not they would be productive, and whether or not they basically weren’t him. I don’t think I’ve ever seen Max make so many votes in an entire game, never mind D1. I think he’s mostly interacting with people based on what people are saying about him, or when someone asks him a question, which makes me feel like he isn’t particularly interested in moving the game forward.
A sensible choice for the scumteam might be Max/4mask/Egan, suitably distanced from one another doing their own thing, but none particularly pushing the game forward for town. Weak reads on 4mask and Egan though, fwiw. Mostly PoE on their part.
The mad team would be Max/EJ/Jim, given Max and I were a recent scum team and he intimated doing weird WIFOM-y shit on D1 to make his team seem unlikely candidates together, was something he liked to do. Max and EJ have linked themselves with the gelling thing, and Max, normally not very promiscuous with his vote, asked Jim to choose who he should vote for. It’s an interesting combination of sheeping and distancing that could be coordinated, but probably isn’t and I’m mostly just worried about Max.
PPE: a million posts that I am not reading before posting this. I have a migraine brewing and a possibly unpleasant afternoon besides.
