I didn't really understand the wagon on Klick or where it came from, so I took a look through their ISO to see if anything stood out to me.

Oh sweet! I vaguely remember your username as being pleasant to play with? Gonna have to go back and look at the game we were in at some point, a boost of confidence is always nice
catboi's entrance feels very... limp? Make a few small comments, kinda game related but noncommittal, so you can't say he's not talking about the game but he's not actually moving anything forward. It's what I'd post if I wanted to start the game without eyes on me.
PEdit: yes, sorry, posting on phone, it likes to glitch

Which is why it came across as strange that you're accusing me of being "noncommittal" and "not advancing the game", because...I'm not sure what you're expecting on page 1?
When I read your posts it feels like you
want
me to think you're advancing things though.
The early read on catboi seems okay to me. It's not bad reasoning, even though I don't really pick up on the same things that they're noticing. It could be scum looking for an early read that they can sound confident about, but I can believe it being a genuine gutread. In addition, as some people have already pointed out, in multiball scum can be genuinely scumhunting. So, in this case, I find the early read to be fairly null. This post, I think, is where it starts to get a little interesting:
In post 135, Klick wrote:The main impression I get from catboi's latest posts is that he's actually rather uncomfortable with the votes on him
The context here is that catboi had picked up a few very pile-on type votes, following the push that Klick had started. I think this post feels, in a way, like it is just adding fuel to the fire to try to keep the wagon going. What's interesting, then, is how they
vote bnuuy shortly after. I would like to know from Klick: Did something change between
135 and
155 for you, to make you no longer interested in continuing to add pressure onto the catboi wagon?
After that, they had a few small comments, including going somewhat against the grain and saying that they found mastina's entrance to be very suspicious. In summary, I see a player who doesn't seem uncomfortable or awkward, and feels very willing to poke at players who are considered to be strong or well-established in a way that I think can be town-indicative. The plausible counterargument is that a strong scum player may want to avoid hunting the "low hanging fruit" that could be the typical wagons on Day 1 in a larger game like this for the sake of optics, and that pushing at other more challenging targets could give the impression of genuine hunting (which would be fairly successful, since I had that exact response). I still come away from the reread leaning town, though. The one thing I would like clarity on is the switch to bnuuy, as I don't fully understand the timing of it or the reasoning behind it.
Next I want to look at the reasons people gave for voting them.
