Don't these two things contradict?
If you think there's gonna be a scummer in his (datisi) town reads why is Ico unable to be that? Who among his town reads do you think is the scummer?
Not really. As I said, Ico is kind of special. Last game I played with both Datisi and Ico, Ico was fighting half the playerlist on D1 and Datisi who had him as top townread was basically his life insurance there. I just think if you are scum and you can have a pretty vocal townie who is willing to defend you, who have you as top townread (although by my impression not
that
strong as last time), then you just keep him around as it makes it harder for town to vote you out and if you go down there would at least be damning associations. I have trouble believing Icoscum would let that pass and would instead be super scared as scum to kill Datisi off nonetheless. I mean, of course I can be wrong, but I am not really seeing the motivation here.
If there is scum I think either in NM or Cakez. However NM (or rather skitter) has no real motivation to kill off Datisi either as they were also growing wary of you, so why cutting down a potential ally for a very likely 1v1 with you? And skitter was out for it as she was voting you out of the gate on D2. Besides the Alch fence sit thing that slot never really pinged me in any particular way.
As for Cakez there is wagon analysis and his fos on Una in his disfavour. His progression from Echo not getting better/avoiding scumhunting/just playing due to pressure to "still thinking he is misunderstood town" makes me raise my brows too, because it didn't seemed like he was thinking of Echo as town before. Then again I am scumreading almost everyone voting/suspecting him, besides Una and tris. So the more I do think about this the more I am not so sure about my original assumption tbf.
