- lortaku:Duh. First four posts are wholly without content; to be fair, they're all on the same day. He later tries to claim to Fear that his vote on jon meant something, it wasn't RVS. Then he tries to narrow it down to rmpeacoc and Xiao based on their feud. He unvotes rmpeacoc the following day because of other people's opinions. Then he shows back up on the 3rd and votes me because I've left my vote on Xiao, and because it might say something about jon. He also calls Xiao not-scum now. His last post is actually decent, but it's too little too late, and makes yet another excuse. Lots of small tells here if he flips scum, but the most damning thing is the active lurking. He's posting just enough to avoid replacement, and despite declaring himself too busy to post more often, hasn't asked for replacement.
lortaku: Claim in your next post, please.Jerry has already signaled that he will hammer you, and I will do it to avoid a No Lynch at this point (though I would prefer Jerry put his money where his mouth is). You have GOT to participate more in these games if you don't want to get lynched.
- notquitethere:Gets points from me for using Random Questions, but carries it on way too long; his tenth post is the first one to contain any real game-related substance. Finally hops off the Xiao wagon on June 4th; that was all just a continuation of his RVS vote, though he did put some reasons into it later. Swaps to the lortaku-wagon in the same post based on "earlier" lurking, as if lortaku had not continued to do it. A lot of his posts look like coaching (too many to mention, just read the iso) but that could just be his usual playstyle from Bay12. Null read, which is frustrating.
- JerryArr:First thing that jumps out is that he said we should be getting to serious votes "within 5 days of deadline", but he's posted exactly twice since last Saturday. All the NL-on-D1 stuff is null because of different site meta. RVS is on rmpeacoc, but quickly switches to Xiao, putting him at L-1 and then almost immediately unvoting. I don't like that... why so scared of L-1?? I still feel like a Xiao (or Jerry) lynch would tell us a lot about other players, even on the chance they don't flip scum.
Then Jerry pressure-votes lortaku for not posting, and even admits it later. Without any significant uptick in posting by his vote target, he unvotes a page or two later. Ugh! He switches his vote to jon basically for voting me, but signals that he will hammer lortaku "if there are no objections". This guy isdefinitelytopping my scumlist right now.
- jon_h61:RVS on me, but drops it quickly in favor of taking up Xiao's gauntlet. I like his ideas on participation and wanting to lynch rather than draw the clock out. He's also not intimidated by Fear's bluster. In fact with the exception of the vote for Kattaze for voting me, I can find little to complain about here. I don't usually post my townreads, but there's a nonzero chance I'll die N1 as the IC.
I do want to hear if he can identify what is bothering him about me, though...
- pitoli:First thing of note here is that I thought pitoli had alotless posts than most players, probably because many of them are short. He's got some good instincts and answers though, and I like that he's willing to admit to only drawing scum games here until now. Most scum would be afraid of mentioning that for fear of fallacious logic coming back to bite them. 197 looks like just a pressure vote on lortaku, but later in 205 and 210 he identifies something concrete. pitoli is basically the other vote on lortaku I trust. My 'scum tell' post was mainly for reaction, and the right answer was to be able to identify it himself, which he does.
- rmpeacoc:Anger-reaction stuff is a null tell based on other games. Lots of example of irrelevant emotion being put into her posts (like the tick thing just now), which I'm not thrilled about. Amusingly, her willingness to post drunk seems like a towntell to me. OTOH the "I never said I was town" crap is just disingenuous to say the least. Fully willing to put Xiao at L-1 for a second time, but does have the grace to announce it. Draws a scumpool late in the day of Xiao (despite unvoting and starting the cascade to 0 votes), lortaku, and pitoli. Not really sure why she thinks pitoli is coasting.Can you elaborate, rmp?
- Xiao:To be honest I'm tired of making this case. I've been talking about Xiao for half of my posts, it seems. The uncooperative thing was scummy or at the least anti-town, but he's gotten a little better lately. I still think he's said some things that would earn rope, but we have better targets for D1.
- Fear/Kattaze:Fear's volume of posts rings true, but like I said earlier it could be the "baffle them with bullshit" strategy. I can dig up direct quotes later if needed, but right now I see 0% chance of Kattaze being the D1 lynch, so I'm not going to waste my time with a big case. Slightly town.
