upon rereading i like
ivy
a bit less. she is fine with sitting back and siding with the majority opinion, and it's been working out okay for her. as others have mentioned, her openness about not having much to say and her marked frustration in posts like 311 suggest town. she assures us in 339 and 359 that she'll speak when she has something to say, but she's barely given us anything in the 300+ posts since then. the votecount without any further comment could be seen as more of that superficial usefulness that people called her out for after the list of non-normal roles. i didn't agree with it the first time round but the VC is weird. ultimately still probtown but nothing super concrete in either direction.egix
has almost the same number of posts as ivy but it feels like the distribution has been a little more even. posts like 302 and 625 seem earnest enough that i'm okay with him for now. leaning town for what feels like honest (if at times passive) scumhunting and thought progression.bugspray
's iso is pretty barren and though he claims to have been occupied (not going to doubt this because i'm not a dick), he does
keep popping in recently with pretty useless posts, which suggests to me that he's reading the thread and just not bothering to actually write anything of substance. scumlean for this and for his overall refusal to answer questions directed at himthe
choof/humaneatingmonkey
slot is tough. i liked choof initially, but i don't really know that there's anything particularly AI in his pre-replacement posts. regarding monkey, i'm having trouble letting go of my initial suspicions but he is starting to look better. null, but a conflicted null rather than an insufficient information nulli liked
andante
pre-replacement and i think it's kind of hilarious that she burnt herself out so hard writing reads posts that she decided to sub out. VFP
doesn't look any different from my last game with them, and they were town then. into the town pile with this slotif bugspray's iso is an empty cereal box then
dunnstral
's is the stale cheerios you find at the bottom. what posts he does have are pretty surface-level, though a handful of them ask okay questions. he might have been null based on actual content, but i'm starting to lean scum because of the extreme lack thereof.i have seen nothing out of
osuka
that i wouldn't expect from either alignment. he's said himself that he's very difficult to read, though his pompousness in this regard may be something of a tell in its own right. he also doesn't seem to have any interest in responding to my earlier suspicion/pocketing accusation of him. i've been going back and forth with this but i do think scum!osuka is a distinct possibility. null for the time being.umlaut
's early posts such as 127 and 346 feel comfortably town-minded for me, but his activity and engagement have dropped off extremely sharply since then. 586 makes an okay point but recently he seems to be kind of waiting to be questioned, which is not something i'd expect of someone trying to solve the game. still a townlean but i'd like to see a return to his earlier style.T3
has been posting... sparingly, as is his usual fashion. he's a hard one to read for me because he's in so many games at once that his activity and investment per game is very low. that said, his naked acknowledgement of his own inactivity without an attempt at making excuses, along with his confidence in 404 (and overall lack of self-concern) make me think he's probably more likely town than scum. slight townleangerain
still looks like scum to me. i think giving him a pass for being self aware/claiming VT(?) is a bit of a cop out. i didn't notice it at first but 606 contains a dismissive "10 nulls and 2 i don't knows" which equals 12 players, meaning gerain probably isn't actually bothering to even try
and read people or engage with the game. if he were being serious about this, odds are he would at least have bothered to subtract a null read to account for himself as a player whose alignment he knows. i don't like this slot.i think i've said already in this game that
anya
looks basically the same as last game, in which she was scum. however, her meta is pretty consistent overall, and so far i haven't seen anything that i would consider to be outside of her range for either town or scum. null~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
this gives us, in (very) rough order from towniest to scummiest:
town/lean:
Egix96
Andante
/VFPUmlaut
Ivyeo
T3
null:
osuka
choof
/humaneatingmonkeyAnya
scum/lean:
Dunnstral
bugspray
geraintm
some questions:
@bug are you still happy with your vote?
@Anya why are you suspicious enough of monkey's desire to read dunnstral that you're voting him, but didn't bother to comment when i was so desperate for info from T3?
@ivy, i'd be interested to hear how your thoughts have progressed since your initial readlist.
@T3 i would like to know how exactly osuka redeemed himself in your eyes. i kind of doubt this question will get answered because it's buried, and because T3 isn't always in the business of responding to questions at the best of times, but hey, nothing ventured nothing gained.
@Dunnstral, you say in 657 that gerain is "kind of weird" as town. can you elaborate on your experience(s) with him?
