I'm rereading.
The charter lynch:
Megatheory (ac1983fan) looks the cleanest to me. He was the instigator of the wagon and provided reasoning that makes sense to me from a pro-town perspecive at that early stage of the game. He disappeared before the wagon really got afoot, so it's hard to judge him any further. Braeden (DGB) seems like opportunistic scum. He was very
critical of the charter wagon and expressed displeasure with his soft-claim on the grounds that a full claim could "prove his innocence further" (as opposed to thinking it was a scum move). He then made a
complete U-turn and changed his mind on charter for very little reason. Look at this post and you will have the definition of opportunism.
Nightfall doesn't look too bad. I could see his "while I find charter scummy, I would rather look at other people" thing as supporting a band-wagon without being on it, but it also strikes me as something a pro-town player would do in that situation. Yawetag was on the wagon simply because charter suggested name-claiming (
Post 107,
Post 111), which is a weak reason, to say the least. On D2, he claimed that his reason for suspecting charter was actually "his attitude after being denied the nameclaim idea" (
Post 205), which strikes me as inconsistent.
Day 2
:
It should once again be pointed out that Jebus started D2 not only with a vote on yawetag, but also an extensive case on him and the statement that he is "very scummy [and] should be a prime candidate of today". It's virtually impossible that he investigated yawetag the night before.
I'm not impressed with ac1983fan's
entry into the game, but I do like his
first vote.
I don't see much of interest in spoilum's attack against Nightfall, because it's such a non-issue to be arguing about. While it's true that Nightfall was somewhat inconsistent when it came to his "jokewagons can turn into lynches" argument, I don't see what he had to gain as scum. What I do find interesting though was
Grimmy's reaction to it, in which she FoSed Nightfall for no discernable reason at all. It faintly smells of distancing.
Grimmy/ac1983fan interaction gives me wildly mixed signals. Grimmy's
Post 286 strikes me as something scum wouldn't say about their buddy, but then ac§983fan unvotes him while complimenting him on a post that really wasn't all that special in the
very next post. May be distancing after all. This is further impacted by a
follow-up post, in which ac1983fan clearly states that "Grimmy seemed incredibly anti-town", which seems to be a rather strong suspicion to be washed away by such a throw-away post.
I am once again reminded of why I found pacman so incredibly scummy. It's all water under the bridge now, though.
Zilla's
entry into the game strikes me as curious. She ponders whether to examine the charter wagon or the people who are calling to examine the wagon, and concludes that the wagon was mostly town-led. She betrays this thought on the very same page by voting Alabaska J, who was part of the wagon.
I really dislike ac1983fan's
jump on the Alabaska wagon. I also agree with Zilla at the time that ac1983fan's defense of Nightfall made very little sense, particularly considering his criteria for suspecting Alabaska J and Grimmy.
Day 3
:
ac1983fan
backpeddals on his Grimmy vote. Scummy. Also dislike his insistance on suspecting "non-contributors".
Nightfall's list of top-suspects is
terrible. On the flip-side, I like how Zilla is critical of Grimmy even though her reason for being so is backwards. It's internally consistent.
I'm pointing out this
post of Jebus again, because there is no earthly way he investigated Alabaska J on N2.
DGB's entry into the game is really off. She claims to find Alabaska J
totally town based on a read in isolation, but quickly
changes her tune once she's caught up with the gamestate. Note also that all of Grimmy, ac1983fan and Nightfall are in her TOWN collumn. That's one confirmed scum and both potential scum-buddies. Considering how staunchly anti-bussing DGB is, the list is doubly terrible (on top of being wrong pretty much from top to bottom).
I dislike Nightfall's
reaction to my argument with Fonz. He's hedging his bets and playing both sides.
DGB
changes her tune again in regards to Alabaska J once it becomes aparent that he's going to get lynched. This is particularly telling because I don't think there's a lot of difference between the kind of frustration Alabaska displayed at that time and the one he displayed previously.
Day 3
:
I'll try not to repeat myself too much here.
ac1983fan's
first post of the day is slightly puzzling to me. Particularly that he suspects the Fonz and not me, when the last he said about us two was
this.
While I don't agree with Nightfall's analysis of DGB's claim, it has an air of sincere confusion which I've seen from Nightfall in previous games.
I will point out again that DGB has done
nothing
today except claim.
Conclusions:
Braeden did nothing all game except opportunisticly lynch a town player. DGB has been inconsistent when it comes to Alabaska J. Her claim is wildly implausible. She is now hedging her bets instead of trying to solve this game. DGB is scum.
I am leaning towards ac1983fan being the second scum, for weird interaction with Grimmy, inconsistent behavior and driving the Alabaska wagon. The main point in his favor right now is voting DGB, but I can see it as bussing seeing as he's on the spot as well.
Nightfall is a very mixed bag. His suspicions have been horrible all game long and I felt like he spent an inordinate amount of time debating technicalities instead of trying to lynch scum. He was never very forceful about his suspicions and has an air of wishy-washyness. My main reason for suspecting ac1983fan over him is that I am notoriously bad at reading Nightfall, and have falsly suspected him for similar reasons in more than one previous game. I will weigh these two against each other again tomorrow if it comes to that.
I think Zilla has been playing terribly, but I do think she was investigated innocent, so she's off the table.
