billybob, you're still focusing exclusively on Bdthemag. While it's true that he isn't answering your question, it's also true that you're not scumhunting anyone except him. What are your reads on everyone in the game?
scriver -> kilakan -> Urist Mcinternetuser
First answer was literally a joke.
Doesn't seem to get the vote part of RVS. Scriver gets replaced with kilakan, who
jumps on jc like a colorful metaphor. JC responds poorly, which
he is not willing to allow. Another dodge from jc,
another push. JC finally comes up with an answer, nad
kilakan is 0kay with that. Seems convinced that jc is noobtown over scum. Kilakan gets replaced, after quite a delay, with Urist Mcinternetuser, who
jumps back on jc. The explanation comes
later. Is apparently
perfectly 0kay with lynching jc based solely on what has happened before replacing in. But then
unvotes, apparently solely because IronyOwl told him to. Then
back on jc. Mentions
an actual decent reason to vote jc, but only after Flandre brings it up first.
Ugh, this post. Literally 95% quote. How could anyone think quoting that monster of a post and adding one sentence is a good idea in any context?
End result: Bluhhhhh, it's
hard to read someone who's been replaced twice. Leaning towards scum, though.
Twiggie -> Flandre
Starts with a joke vote.
Gets dodgy when asked about the scum IC.
Side-eyes jc after the latter votes for him with poor reasoning. (Poor reasoning that isn't even in the vote post, I might add.) Twiggie then vanishes, to eventually be replaced by Flandre. First thing Flandre does is
side-eye Urist for jumping on jc immediately on joining, and is kind enough to
clearly explain why it's suspicious. Eventually
drops the issue, though not without explanation.
Brings up a
very telling mistake jc made.
End result: Twiggie is scum, Flandre is town. Yes, I
know that doesn't make sense, I'm still trying to figure it out myself. Considering that Twiggie quit, I see Flandre as more likely playing the true role. I think.
Simple
Starts by poking scriver.
Keeps pressing. Turns around and
pushes Bd.
With about a dozen questions in one post. Big ol wall of responses.
End result: Ugh. I
know this is just me, but I find it really difficult to get a good read off of long posts made sparsely. Leaning town, though.
Bdthemag
Starts off voting Twiggie for
dodginess.
Answers jc's question in a rather... ugh, words fail me, but I don't like it. Then we come to...
this. He informs me that my questions are WIFOM-y. He still hasn't told me why, by the way. But let's move past that. He
gives reasons for disliking my questions... and calls
Simple's quesions WIFOM-y as well. He
explains what WIFOM is for me. Even though
I had clearly demonstrated that I already knew the meaning of WIFOM.
Dropped the argument without a word, though that may have simply been because jc looked like a bigger fish to fry. When I pushed him, he
repeated what he had already said. You know, the answer I was fine with to the question I no longer cared about.
"Oops I maed a mistake sry lol"... and the mistake he made is
still irrelevant to my question. When I realized this and re-asked the question, his response is
"i answered the wrong question" without bothering to address the right one. So, just to be extra-safe, I spelled out the question as clearly as I could. His
next post completely ignored the question.
End result: Before I thought of him as slightly scummy, incredibly aggravating. With a reread, he's very scummy
and very aggravating.
jc6036
Starts off pretty passive. His first real action is
a bit derpy, as he interprets an RV in RVS as scummy. To his credit, he does
stick to Twiggie instead of, say, flailing wildly or immediately backtracking.
Invokes the Noob Shield. Gives
this wishy-washy response to me, though it's kind of expected since I literally just said "If I was scum I would act just like town".
Doesn't seem to get the idea of a "pressure vote". Or pressure, for that matter.
Gives the most obvious answer to UV's question.
Invokes the noob shield again, though less bluntly. As Flandre pointed out,
this, while by no means solid, is very suspicious.
Still doesn't get scumhunting. Considers giving up. Dodges kilakan's question with an incomprehensible reason.
Gratuitously mentions newbhood again. Though I'm not sure that one counts as invoking the noob shield.
Is 0kay with being voted if the voters have good reasons, which just seems
off.
Officially lowers the Noob Shield. That's not something that I can get a read off, I'm just noting it for the record.
Fails at defending against Urist.
Wait no, that's a valid defense, he just failed at getting the point across, so it looked like a fail!defense.
Seems to require certainty in his lynch votes, which is of course not possible.
End result: Big flashing neon sign screaming "NOOB" kinda makes it hard to read anything else. I can't say one way or the other.
Vector
As an IC, starts off... IC-ing, I guess would be the verb.
I don't get this. This explanation is... inadequate.
Explains pressure votes. Up until page 7, she does very little scumhunting. Apparently school is to blame for that, but it didn't stop her from ICing, did it? But
on page 7...
Bam, wall of quotes. Now, this is well after webadict joined and got on her case for not scumhunting. It'd be more conclusive if it had been
before, but I'm still inclined to believe that the change in playstyle was not webadict's doing.
End result: All that activelurking... Only a few good posts to make up for it... I'm leaning scum, but I'm really unsure about it.
IronyOwl
Starts by pushing Twiggie.. Apparently
it was a scumhunting demonstration, though I can't imagine that makes it less... scumhunty? i guess? After that, made very few posts until page 5, and those posts he did make were more as an IC than a player. Gets
back in the game with a wall of questions. Still didn't post
much, but more than he had been.
End result: Not a lot to go off. I pretty much can't tell.
UltraValican -> webadict
UV, not an IC, starts the game
without a vote, which gets him chewed out by Vector. The obvious response to that is to
drop a pressure vote. Shortly thereafter, he decides that
Bd needs the pressure more than jc. And then he drops out, to be replaced by webadict, who
is an IC. Webadict
jumps on Vector for IC-activelurking. Pick pick picks, showing zero mercy.
Explains how jc's cluelessness implies that he's town. Makes
a very bold proclamation, stating with certainty that Vector is scum. I still don't know what
this is, but I've already asked about it, so.
End result: All I can read off this is "Thinks Vector is scum and jc is town" </obvious>. Can't really determine alignment from that. Oh well.
Ultimate Final Result (for now): Huh. I stayed up til 4 in the morning writing this and I'm just going straight back to
bdthemag. Only this time, it's a lynch vote.
