ISO - HeWhoSwims ((Him In The First 500 Posts))
118 Shows a depth of thought that I don't think comes from scum usually in a game.
-
He explains why he likes
Inferno's
stance in RVS
-
Discusses a reality where
Elbirn's
entrance could give a scum-benefit, something to note
119 Asks a question and
Sky
answers after that, doesn't seem noteworthy imo.
HeWhoSwims
gives a somewhat neutral perspective on
Rask's
entrance
143
But he further iterates how scum would likely JUMP onto
Rask
for his entrance in
163
-
He's aware of scum's potential motives but he doesn't forecast what scum would do in depth
-
With bringing up
Profii
here, it feels like he's also willing to see this from a town perspective because he's not pushing him
HeWhoSwims
post just seems to go against what he believes would be a potential scum-agenda.
173 and 175 is him bringing up
Gustavo
and saying that
TW's
fluffposting isn't really NAI for him, moving on...
193 Is basically trying to get a more articulate response on
TW
from
Brass
in my eyes.
278 This is another post that makes me think
HeWhoSwims
is town, if not a very competent scum.
-
Brings up, probably from his own experience, of how
Gustavo
works D1
-
Tells
Gustavo
upfront about his inconsistency, but doesn't drive that as a central point to call him scum like other people have
HeWhoSwims
here seems like someone who's looking between the lines of conflict in the game and trying to discern what's scum-indicative or not, which I think is a town trait, usually.
279 This mentality is expanded on when he tells
Elbirn
about his own approach to 1v1s. Unlike
Elbirn
, I like that he has his own structured view of how he sees 1v1s, whereas
Elbirn's
question here feels open-ended and geared towards driving a reaction from someone on how they SHOULD feel about a 1v1.
I think
Elbirn-HeWhoSwims
is unlikely at the moment, and in same breath,
Sky-HeWhoSwims
.
283 is when
HeWhoSwims
calls
Inferno
on his unhelpful stance over
Gustavo
, notice how he's not discrediting, dismissing, or shading
Inferno
unlike someone I'm voting right now?
I'm also assuming that his reply to
Brass
indicates that he townreads him to a degree.
287 is yet another post that replies to
Gustavo
about the suspicion on him but isn't jumping on that bandwagon or really buying into it.
343 This post is an agreement with
Ausuka
that involves
HeWhoSwims
stating that neither
profii
or
Rask's
posts/entrances were scummy.
In contrast to
Elbirn-Sky-Xyzzy
taking a disliking for
Rask's
entrance, and
Sky's
longer-term vote on
profii
, I feel like this post shows that
HeWhoSwims
is looking deeper into people's motives for votes and is willing to place a stance that contradicts other players' notion, but in a way that actually outlines his thinking.
This is the opposite trend I'm finding with my scumreads in this game.
I also like that he points out self-votes are bad to
Gustavo
because they are abysmal, and while town or scum can say this, I like that this is brought up.
344 Agrees with
Rask
about
Dram's
posting on
Inferno
being off... I don't think a scumbuddy would do this?
473 Reinforces his stance on
Gustavo
Early Assessment:
Mostly in his earlier posts, I don't see any red flags. I think it's normal for town to take a passive approach earlier in the day. While I don't think this strongly town-indicatives
HeWhoSwims
, he's not scummy to me here. He's also very unlikely to be associated with
Elbirn-Sky
just by his own reads and progression.
Notes-
-
Has had interactions with
Elbirn-Sky
but not
Dram
so far, those interactions don't seem fabricated.
-
HeWhoSwims'
uncertainty on
TW
looks natural considering that it's almost impossible that
TW
is groupscum.
