Fair, I guess. I just see their behavior as looking incredibly scummy and it was hard to imagine a world where they're town, even if logically it makes the most sense. I'm having a hard time with this game, it feels like there's not much to work with, and people keep just stating who they're suspicious of or voting them with no reasoning behind it and that makes it extremely hard to determine if their reasoning is scum-motivated or not. Looking at that reasoning is how I tend to hunt scum, and I'm not sure if people just aren't caring about this game or if it's a playstyle thing, but I think it's making it much easier for scum to hide. And hey, maybe it doesn't matter anyway if there are 3 masons and they just vote whoever they want. I feel generally skeptical about the prospect of just handing the reins of the game over to them, though.
Roughly in order of willingness to vote at the moment:
Scorpious
- Townread off early agreement about greeting and off what I thought was scum (fua, geriant, later yeezys) taking advantage of a questionable wagon. Has been coasting/active lurking extremely hard, I think the "boo hoo this game is bad everyone's reasoning is bad get me out of here" approach has outlasted what I would expect from town and has entered into the territory of looking like scum trying to milk it. I agree with the general sentiment, but I think the town response to that is to actually put some effort in and find scum. He has one of the higher post counts but so many of them lack any actual content.
geriantm
- Discussed recently already, still feel pretty much the same. Could be partners with scorpious, actually, now that I think about it, because that would make the belief that ahri did actually have something investigative make more sense -- if he knew the result was true, he wouldn't have much reason to doubt it.
Enchant
- Has done literally nothing yet. Don't know what to make of that. Brazen in a way that I tend to associate with town, but if they play like this often, then it's not very meaningful. Did some research, and attitude looks generally similar in past games, but they tend to actually have content as both alignments. So I dunno.
Hella Jeff
- Seemed towny at first to me, lately seems to be coasting. Similar to scorpious but the coasting is less extreme. Probably should be looking closer.
Nero Cain
- First instinct is seems logical and reasonable in a level-headed towny way, but I should probably also be looking closer here.
Quiet Owl
- The dwlee incident still makes me think town (especially with dwlee confirmed as VT, although I think that was fairly obvious already), but general behavior isn't very towny.
yeezys
- Mason, apparently, despite scummy behavior.
Ahri
- Mason, apparently
