Good question. Why do you want to know, if your ability affects properties and not locations?
By the way, what's your current read on NJW2000? Answer and... I'll let you pick a player for me to give my own read on. (Preferably not someone with low post count, but a deal's a deal.)
I'm still working out NJW2000, but I probably won't be voting them today.
What is your read on CM?
Hm, not much of an answer. I'll expect more tomorrow (if I'm still alive).
I also notice you didn't answer my other question.
Annoyingly, I can't use the 'view posts' feature for CM, since CM is a member of Team 1 in a certain card design game, so I'll have to dig through the thread manually.
Gimme a bit.
Point 1:
The auction is definitely a scum sided ability. Removing votes from town tends to be, and the abilities available were of questionable usefulness, aside from the very last one. CM took the "unexecutable" ability and forfeited her vote - shows a bit of a lack of guts. But then again, a lot of other people also took auction abilities, and they can't all be scum.
-Point 1b: CM is almost certainly lying about some aspects of the reward she got for clearing the auction. A kill that can be used only once it's night 5 or later is... Well, we have 11 players. If we lose two players per cycle that goes...
Day 1: 11 players
Day 2: 9 players
Day 3: 7 players
Day 4: 5 players
Day 5: 3 players
And that's assuming scum don't just, you know. Win. I'm guessing there's either two scum or three scum, more likely three, since our mod isn't using third parties. Given that, assuming two players die per cycle, and if they're all town, Day 3 would be MYLO.
Obviously, that hasn't happened, we're still at 11 players on Day 2, but the point remains that in a typical game, a night 5 kill in an 11-player game would never be used.
It makes zero sense. So CM is either lying or at the very least leaving things out. But, as we know, lying isn't always scummy. It could be a town attempt at hiding a trump card. Or a scum attempt at hiding a doomsday device that kills us all on night 5.
Small chance it's just the truth, never outguess the mod, but I wouldn't say it's likely.
CM later claimed during Day 2 to
not be Betrayal, which also seems unlikely, but it's certainly possible. There's other options, such as Cluedo or Disastles (wait, Disastles is a card game).
Factor result: scum lean.
Point 2:
NJW2000, Elephant Parade, and EuchreJack form a triangle of support, this is sus as all hellCM hasn't been very active. Of course, we have to factor in the Hyper factor - IRL business, as Crystal mentioned earlier. Engagement is thus a better measure of towniness than raw activity.
(Otherwise, Imp would always be town.)
I'm willing to forgive her first-day detachment as a symptom of things beyond the game. That's fair and fine.
I wouldn't be surprised if there was also some bias at play, being focused on the auction - which has the vibe of a Genre ability, given its expansiveness.
It does look like CM has... not exactly been more active and engaged on Day 2. Worse than juicebox, even.
Sigh.
Factor result: scum lean.
Point 3:
Crystalizedmire is being talked about a lot as a potential execution candidate, but so far, no sign of an organized push has occurred.
Ironically, I'd say this is closer to a sign of scumminess. "I tooootally scum read this person", but never actually following up with a vote, is a prime position for one scum player to put another.
Factor result: scum lean.
End result: moderately scummy.
