Townfeel ranking
Fro > Eye > ffery > Deras > Rev = Mac > GM , Carey
Fropome (Most Town)
I see genuine attempts at bringing his case for his past game experience and the way he received his responses. His direct answers to GM's subtle attack at his overreaction strengthen my townfeel for him(see post
76). In particular, his response to me in post
42 suggests that he is trying to contribute by mentioning something slightly different. The back and forth that keeps taking place between him and GM suggest to me that GM is either trying to take advantage of Fro's unorthodox points about lynching scum/lurkers and rather quick reactions (which indeed can be misrepresented as defensive behaviour), or that there's a bus driving past. More on this below.
Eye Urn (Very Town)
I see his vehement attempts to chase after lurkers as a sign of townie play. He first went after Deras, who hasn't contributed much but had a knee-jerk reaction to Rev's vote. I interpret his WIFOM about Deras "trying to deflect pressure however he can" (see post
68) as a way to pile on pressure, as he also does for Carey, who incidentally already has a bad stink going around. I see pretty consistent behaviour from him so far, so a strong townfeel.
fferylit (Very Town)
I see a very consistent theme hanging around about making alignment indicative posts, right from the first off-hand townfeel GM gave her. However, I also see her paying a lot of attention to GM and Fro. And while she has done ISO and does talk about lurkers, I see that just like GM, she's not giving a lot of pressure to heavy and recalcitrant lurkers esp Carey, who at least as far as my newbie opinion goes, shouldn't be behaving as such in this game. I, however, feel that this may be her having anticipated such play from said players, being more experienced, so the overall read is also very town.
And yes, I would say it is to let you guys anticipate that I sometimes use the whole conspiracy theory to try and associate people. This tends to happen when you want to design setups that are as fool proof as possible, you want to anticipate how people will try to buddy or bus and how that relates to the setup. I think it is a different way to play and I am trying it out, since it has worked in the cases where I see it being used in RL games. If experience tells you guys its bad play, I welcome you guys to show me.
Deras (Leaning Town)
Although content wise I see little contribution and considering the early lurking-like behaviour, I see his attempt to contribute and his acknowledgement that his behaviour has been objectively bad as a sign of town behavior. Keeping a close eye on him.
Revenus (Leaning Town)
Rev has not posted much other than to put pressure on Deras and Carey. He suspecting Deras is objective, but considering the difference in experience levels, there seems to be undue focus, especially since Deras has attempted to contribute while Carey is simply not doing so, and he hasn't commented much on others. I look around and it appears that there is some history about his behaviour in other games, (
45), so he "being in a good mood" may explain a little. His attention appears to be focused on only the lurkers and maybe a bit on fferylit's ISO of GM. Nothing else strongly indicative other than that, so I get a weak townfeel. More reads from him may help.
Mac (Neutral)
Mac has only two posts which provided very brief reads, I have null. I must say, replacing in must be hard, with all that catching up to do.
GM (Manipulative Scummy)
In her posts I see a very selective appeal to reasoning, as Fro's behaviour does not really justify him being voted over Carey. Moreover, when Eye Urn attempted to resolve a possible misunderstanding, she did not respond in time, leading me to suspect that she's deliberately playing on Fro's rather newbie posts. Too focused on the behaviour on one person and not paying attention to another. The back and forth that took place between her and Fro also does not help her case. A very strong association between her and Fro, and fferylit is hot on their tail, and GM's rather flimsy reasoning leads me to believe there's a lot happening there. GM's playing real hard on the manipulation.
Carey (Foolhardy Scummy)
Carey has not posted anything useful, period. His strange attempts to dismiss others also comes across as really foolhardy to me, not making sense both as scum or town. If he does not give a good post the next time we see him, I will put my vote on him.
It's hard for me to pin down whether GM or Carey is "scummier", they're different kinds of scummy IMO.
