Not to kill the funtime vibes, but I went through Dannflor's ISO to scrape for any sort of interactions, and this is what I came away with. My theory is that Dann made a few posts when the ame was in an RVS-ish state, fell behind, and came back realizing he was under pressure and in trouble, and so deliberately started forcing interactions. I also think scum are more likely to have voteparked Dann rather than defend him after FL publicly voiced suspicion, it's too risky to have moved off. I'm not saying Dann interacted with all of his teammates, In fact I'd say for sure there's a scum in the people he didn't really interact with at all, but right now it's easier for me to look at the info on people he DID interact with.
Dannflor/Morning Tweet:
Out of all the votes on him, Dann makes a particular point of calling out Tweet's vote on, asking her to explain it (
1572). He says her posting is "nice, a little fence-sitty, and fairly thorough" but doesn't make a conclusion on her and continues to want to ask her about her vote: "curious to know the thought process behind it" (
1585) and asks her what caused her to unvote gamma (
1631). He later soft defends Tweet, saying "That seems like a strange slot for a top scum read" (
1942) In 1969 he defends her by saying "I'm interested in scum reads on Morning Tweet because I don't really see anything that sticks out as not within town!Tweet's MO" but then votes her with his last post in
2026, in a move that doesn't really make much sense.
This was what grabbed my attention when I looking back at his posts overnight, the way he seemed to particularly put attention on tweet out of the people voting him, but didn't seem to really want to push her, making these small defenses of her even as he was trying to question her. The last minute votepark looks like a desperation move rather than any wago he thought might actually go through.
Dannflor/Venus Mars and Pluto:
Dann banters with Auro a little in
1575, Auro says if he's scum he'll catch him, Dann asks him what's going on. He later asks Auro if he has a read on anyone (
1580). Says Nancy shouldn't be town reading him but doesn't say she's suspicious for it, which is a weird comment to make? But maybe less likely to call a partner's read on him out in this way.
I don't think any of this is inherently clearing but don't think Nancy makes such an impassioned defense of Dann when FL's mind is set, as I said above.
Dannflor/RCEnigma:
Dann asks RCE about his early little readflip on me (
93 107), then says he likes RCE's setup spec theorizing about skitter's claim and scum roles based around positioning (
127). He writes a long post defending RCE as town based on tone and saying his fluff posting isn't scummy (
1586).
I could go either way here. I don't have any strong conclusions to draw based on this.
Dannflor/Gamma:
Dannflor immediately jumping on Gamma's entrance post (241 + 250) and questioning me when I said the speed of the viotes was too fast (277) is way more likely to be non-partner behavior. He later justifies this by saying "his entrance was awkward" and he wanted to see what he'd do after in 1577. He then walks the read back in 1581 by saying Gamma's posting is good and he didn't overreact.
I'm pretty sure Gamma is just town based on this, him giving the townread seems to be bowing to thread consensus as much as anything.
Dannflor/Starcrossed:
Early game Dann asks about why skitter finds pooky scummy, saying he "has not disliked their posting so far" (
83) but then flips it and votes him just a short while later in
102. I don't see what prompted this flip, Starcrossed only made 1 post in between speculating about who Hectic would draft.
This on itself isn't much but it does feel slightly anti-partnery, I don't think he decides to shift his opinion on a teammate so readily in the early game.
Dannflor/unwnd:
Dannflor naked votes unwnd in
1846. He asks him what his read on the Venus/Pluto slot is (
1856) and says the way he's treating the slot isn't genuine (
1874) and that the way he engages with Nancy is LAMIST (
1878). He continues to argue with him about this in
1906, unwnd says Dann is making assumptions based on one or two instances of dialogue when there's more to it, Dann argues with him more about how to read Nancy. He continues to discuss how to read Nancy with unwnd in
1936.
This was probably the most sustained interaction Dann had with anyone, if I squinted really hard I could see it as potential distancing but unwnd was maybe he most viable push of the people voting him, and the way they get sidetracked into debating a read over VMP doesn't feel like the route teammates would take in arguing. I individually townread unwnd overall because I think he wouldn't pull this weird pseudo-jester act as scum so I'd say this reinforces that read.
Dannflor/skitter30:
skitter asks Dann how he's reading her, he says he doesn't have one (
1913). Later he says he had her as possible scum based on her read of RCEnigma (
1934) and then says he went to her iso to "look who to vote for" by sheeping her (
1939). In
1951 he says "I just know you to be skilled as both alignments and I usually treat slots that I view as better than me with more caution than I normally would". Tonally,
1952 doesn't feel like how he talks to a partner, there's a little bit of timidity in how he reacts to her voting him, he doesn't question her or attack her on it, like he's wary of getting on her bad side.
I think from these actions he was trying to subtly get skitter to stop suspecting him, and it worked, which makes me think skitter is unlikely to be a partner.
Dannflor/Titus:
After his extended absence from hyperposting, the first person Dann mentions is Titus, saying "Titus is freaking me out a little bit but that's not quite a read yet" (
1571). He comments on her reads list in
1574, criticizing it and again saying it "freaks him out" and puts suspicion on her for it. Also disputes her saying he had a strong start. Later says he wants to vote Titus (
1969).
There's not a lot to go off here, but similar to Tweet, the attention toward her in particular feels unusual and it could be a desperate attempt to force interaction after he came under pressure, the lack of follow-through makes it suspect, I think.
