Prod dodge, since I'm running late for work. I've been busy with work and spread really thin the past few days. Faraday sent me a message saying he thought the DoctorPepper lynch was so-so (it's kind of similar to the Hermy lynch except DoctorPepper hasn't done anything, but his reads WERE terrible), but he also thinks Nero has a higher chance of flipping scum (I was actually starting to warm up to Nero, but his late D1/early D2 stuff was bad), but I frankly don't know why he couldn't have just said that in the thread himself instead of flagellating himself for his "uselessness." Also, we prefer DoctorPepper to Voided, because although I don't like Voided as much as I did yesterday, he's still looked quite genuine at times in response to pressure.
I really want to get actual reads out, so I'd request people wait until I'm around tonight before hammering DoctorPepper UNLESS it's the difference between an extra $5 efficiency bonus. (In that case, it's my own fault for putting it off so long and doing absolutely nothing today.)
I'd started typing this response out to Nacho like a couple of days ago and forgotten to submit it, though, so:
@Nacho: the "reasons" I was referring to re: morph was that Doctor and Watcher both showed up on N1. It led credence to their claim. (If you notice, I said something similar about upside down, since they were the only ones to claim a Cop advertisement before Banakai.)
Reading through their ISO I'm not particularly inclined to do much explaining with this read (because it should be really really obvious to everyone with eyes), but reminding myself of how fucking town they are makes me get weird on LB a little more because honestly the paranoia on Tammy should be pretty much eradicated and turned to ash in a blast oven by now. I don't care how bad you think Tammy's points on you are, do you really think *this* is what her scumgame has become?
Given that we included her as third in our list of six, obviously our paranoia wasn't very serious. morph and upside down had actual hard evidence in their favour (morph is proven to have advertised Watcher, and upside down is proven to have advertised Cop). We were mostly starting to discuss Tammy a lot behind the scenes to double-check that we weren't letting her slip through the cracks. Our main concerns were 1) she didn't seem to be following up on her suspicions of us, 2) we might have been underestimating how well Tammy can play in multiscum (she might have genuinely believed everything she was saying about us), and 3) she'd gone quiet for awhile on D2. I probably shouldn't have even mentioned it, but it was on my mind because I'd just been talking about her to Faraday on AIM.
Edit from the future: her most recent posting does a lot to remove this. She's back to a rock-solid town read.
I also maintain that the wording of that Voidedmafia quote reads as off (although the format of probably made it sound like it played a larger part in my renewed suspicions of him than it actually did).
