DV sits out the math/koba fight early, saying in
471 "I townread Math more than I townread Koba", but as the fight goes on, he starts to move toward scumreading koba when koba clearly won't back down, saying "I’m doubting you too right now" in
614. he expands on his defense of math in
697, saying "Math seemed much more focused on game thoughts and sorting things", calls math a strong townread in
789. i don't know if he'd go for such a full-throated defense of his own partner, i think it's possible mathblade is the mafia child for this reason.
mathblade townreads DV early in
419, explained to koba in
421. it feels very...over-explain-y on townreading DV for a post that was just a joke. says he "needs to see more of" DV in
475 but says he has a "strong town read" from "two good posts" in
479, and asks DV is koba is bad town or scum. interstingly, in
510 math says he backs off cakez because DV thought he may be town. despite the aerly townreading aech other, this interaction strikes me as non-partnery in the sense that i would not expect a teammate to just follow the word of a partner like that, it does feel like math was legitimately trusting DV here. when pushing koba, says if they are town they agree on DV being scum in
631, while asking DV's opinion of koba claiming VT and selfvoting in
637. interesting comment of "scum never bus" in
649. shifts to an attitude of "koba or you" in
651. then switches to voting DV in
673 "For shits and giggles". the interaction in
678 definitely doesn't look like teammates talking to each other, i don't think. read of DV has flipped to a scumread in
816. continued scumreading of DV, says he's the proper elim in
970, and moves back in
1012 after titus subs in, when the day is close to ending. it's a bit WIFOM-y, but mathblade saying scum won't bus in this and then going after DV on day 1 seems a pretty unlikely behavior from scum, especially when koba effectively threw in the towel and math could have easily continued to push there. i'm pretty sure mathblade is town
DV/Titus:
interestingly, in
928, DV says he's "defaulting to just scumreading the people who aren't talking much" but doesn't mention the absent galron. he put no pressure there when he easily could have. when titus shows up and pink votes her, DV asks "why Titus and why now?" in
1044, agrees with koba callign the vote garbage in
1045.
I still have a lot of issues with Titus defending DV on replace in because of a "static wagon" in
1017 and stopping me from hammering him, only to sheep math on the scumread in
1072 at the start of day 2. i don't see it as making much sense and it feels like a go with the flow read flip reversal bus.
DV/Cakez:
DV names cakez as possible scum in
827 but says he doesn't have any reasons. he piggybacks onto cakez calling me "defensive" in
945. that's kind of it as far as their interactions seem to go.
cakez did push DV fairly hard as a scumread, he voted him for dv's approach to sitting on the outside of the koba/math fight and taking potshots in
759, something i noticed as well. he'll probably call this a scummy mindmeld fake but whatever. called out DV for IIOA in
766. calls him out again for being noncommittal in
795. leaving his vote on there all day and never moving off. i don't see cakez as very likely to bus here, so i'm inclined to say he's just town.
DV/pooky:
DV votes pooky with a "where did you go" in
471, says "Pookie something seems off to me about you here" in
741. he names pooky as one of 3 possible scum in his pool in
827, saying he comes across different.
pooky replies to DV in
839 about being heartbroken kanna is not in the game, but otherwise doesn't talk to him. there's nothing here i would say that is really clearing, dv's vote could read as weak distancing, but i'd put pooky as a hair less likely to be a partner to DV than titus based on interactions. i have significant issues with pooky's weirdness around koba, reading back, though.
so in terms of likelihood to be scum i'd go titus>pooky>math>cakez
