(Not signing this because it's a proper hydra post.)
Since we're happy with the CDB wagon (and have actually more or less resigned ourselves to the fact there won't be a meaningful SAD wagon today), we decided to have a second look at some of our weaker reads.
Zoneace
While there isn't anything to look at from ZONEACE yet, the slot inherited the weak town read we had on SafetyDance. This read was based on our impression that Safety's annoyance with Arthur's Roleplaying early on seemed genuine and townish. Further, given Safety's apparent lack of experience with Faraday-modded games, the reasoning he gives to suspect TGAH's claim on
1002 struck us both as more likely to come from town (especially given the later gloating "see, I was right!" in
1129). Obviously the reasoning isn't actually correct, but we can see a town!SafetyDance believing it.
Zar also got a townish impression of SD's attempts to logically analyze the NK in
1127, He thinks that scum wouldn't want to tie themselves to the kill at all, even if were some ploy to mislead.
That said, this remains a very weak town-read. Interested in seeing more from Zoneace as soon as possible.
Camn
Probably should strengthen our town-read on camn.
Don't think absta would have pushed for her in the way he did if she's scum with him. Don't think she'd respond by trying to get a counter-wagon going on him (or, rather, if she did she'd have done so earlier, I think?).
In general, we also feel that scum would work harder to tie their reads into other peoples' thoughts and not make such a point of either pushing unpopular or alternate wagons or coming up with new reasons to suspect people (case in point, her CDB post in
1387).
Kise
BabySpice was a (weak) town-read, though reading back I can't remember why
. Interesting to note that she never gave a read on absta.
Trying not to read too much into the fact she replaced out while remaining active in other games (Zar says BabySpice tends to lurk hard as scum).
Already went into why we didn't like Kise's first few replacement posts. Rather than talking about the claims or the popular wagons, he started FoSing people that weren't really suspected and were in no danger of being lynched. Very easy way to avoid accusations of lurking while not saying anything that really matters.
And he's been essentially awol all of day 2. When he first replaced in, he said he'd be in "active lurk mode" until he got his new laptop. According to
1140, that new laptop arrived on Sunday. And yet his activity hasn't improved at all. He's still just coasting.
Not sure if the slot belongs in the null tier or the weak-scum tier, but it's not great either way.
