Meet the town: popopopopopopo, midwaybear and NorwegianboyEE. I did not like yesterday's 1v1 and felt the other option was the stronger one, and I did not want a short Day 2, but I realized something in reading back. Lynching Nahdia was thanks to popopopopopopo and farside22 for catching her on Day 1 and pressuring hard on Day 2, and that trumps a lot. Catching scum D1, forcing them to quickhammer, and single-mindedly pushing them on D2 is not clever scumplay, and were he scum, he could have pivoted elsewhere at any time to save a buddy. Back to midwaybear and NorwegianboyEE. Wholly different players, wholly different takes on the game, and only one actually reads town. NorwegianboyEE both makes his own pushes and supports other's, and I feel like there is a hammer in his hand, checking the soundness of everything. He is just too pure. I feel midwaybear is town for entirely opposite reasons. midwaybear was the alternative wagon for Nahdia, no one stood by him when the votes came in, and when no one liked his answers to their questions, he gamely held on. That he lives is suspect, but I choose to believe that is a mafia trap instead of losing more sleep over it.
Nullstreet: word321 and NDMath. I had a case Day 1 on word321, I think he panicked when tagged and was happy to drop off everyone's radars. It is
okay
he did not vote Nahdia D2, but not voting D3 is a mark against him, especially when he came in to waffle about the claims. I still feel like he should be scum, but I had to move him up based on other reads below. NDMath also pings badly in terms of reads, namely his confidence of Nahdia and Albert B. Rampage, but he has not been afraid to vote and seems willing to work with others.
These be scum: Aloratom and votato. Aloratom's content is mainly quotes of other players and short responses that do not develop, and that does not give up much with which to work. I want to say that is null, but his content seems deliberately empty. One of the curious remarks that makes Aloratom feel worse is his [p]1069[/p], that mentions 2 mafia parties, and that pings when also looking at votato, and why I have paired them together. The simpler answer is a vigilante, and I do not see why we would want a more complicated theory based on nothing. votato has gotten worse over time. He has called out literally everyone, looking for anything to stick, and yes, he actually defended both other scum and voted against their wagons. votato also is pushing the 2 mafia theory, and the repeated confidence of this theory makes me think he is mafia that is trying to make sure there is not another mafia group.
