All right, I'm back. I see that we are waiting on several people so I will go ahead with a more complete list of reads. Players and categories are listed in ascending order of suspicion. I'm leaving the two non-posters off of the list because I have nothing useful to say about them.
BBT
started the game strongly by building wagons in RVS, which gave us some good information for later analysis. I see evidence that he is sorting the players internally in the series of posts beginning with
102.
Yuriko
appears to be working through reads. I thought that the questions directed at Zero in
21 and
29 were good. I have very complex feelings about
70: I disagree with its content, and continue to find Necargo suspicious. I disagree with BBT that the post itself was suspicious, however, especially because I cannot easily see the rationale for a Mafia player to say this of a Town player. If Yuriko and Necargo are both Mafia then we should lynch Necargo first anyway.
Draynth
is asking many questions, but some of them feel short-sighted. For example, asking Zero why he is opposed to RVS (
17) and asking me about my phrasing (
46) seem unlikely to advance the game or help him discern our alignments. On the other hand, I find his votes well-placed and his case on Necargo (
93) was mostly good.
Zero
is a bit low on content. I'm not bothered by the lack of RVS or the discussion that it engendered, but I think that Zero missed a good opportunity to provide us some thoughts on his wagon in
30. I'd guess that he's reading his entire wagon as Town or Null, but I would have liked some more detailed thoughts.
Necargo
took an approach to Honest's wagon that doesn't make much sense to me. He placed the fourth vote on the wagon in
53 while claiming that Honest's vote was "odd" but did not expound on this. His attitude towards the hammer (
106) was also strange to me, and I could easily see the attitude (automatic suspicion of the hammer vote regardless of the flip) coming from Mafia that placed the fourth vote on a Town player. I was thinking that Honest would have to be Town if Necargo were Mafia based on these factors, but I'm also suspicious of Honest.
Honest
had a bit of a weird entrance. If his initial vote on BBT (
27) was because he found BBT's RVS wagons suspicious, then he should have said so. I found his later positive characterization of Necargo as "vocal" (
91) incongruous with his vote on BBT. His latest series of posts seemed designed to stall, with professions of incompetence that, to me, seemed out of place for someone who has played a few games before (even if he did replace out of those games).
