The only noticeable difference I see in AV’s scum meta as opposed to town meta (this is from skimming) is post length. As town, he tends to be more descriptive and spend more time making wall posts. As scum, the posts average to be around two paragraphs. That’s same length is being utilized in this game.
However, this is nowhere near enough to warrant a vote.
I’m just going to start at RC’s post, and go from there.

I don’t understand how SP is your STRONGEST town-read. Feels off. Scum-buddy of RC is more likely ML than AV, given the vote choice.
AV wrote:This is precisely what I was thinking when reading that post. AV, my poor AV, has got to eat the first lynch this game, I'm afraid.
…Maybe not. I don’t like this, for it both appeals to a player and suggests that AV is a mislynch waiting (poor AV, I’m afraid, etc.) to happen.
For such a long post, it actually doesn’t have that much content. I didn’t see much of anything about dana, and yet you put it as the second-most favored lynched. Similarly, most of your posts about AV are along the lines of “Awww, poor AV, it’s a shame you muse die today!” He attacks IS more than his actual scumreads.

whelp there are a lot of really long posts atm, its easy to miss things.
MoI wrote:But why aren’t Sociopath, Swift Justice, SDC or any number of normally prolific posters who aren’t lighting up the boards suspect in your eyes? Why is Internet Stranger the only one you mention?
because I already suspect IS. IS had provided the least amount of informative content, which is my main problem with him. Its just been “AMERICA” and not real scumhunting. His newer posts are much better.
RC wrote:@Everyone: If we could make the first lynch a competition between dana and AV, I think we'd be off to such a good start. Both of these lynches are based on very solid ground at this point. Hez, well, not so much.
Its pretty obvious that AV has considerably more suspicion on him. Also, this is the first day. Why in the world would choosing from two suspects only be a good idea? From a numbers perspective, its much better to have a larger lynching pool in this situation.
Also, don’t see any strong connection b/w dana and AV.
What MoI said.
IS wrote:Come DEFCON 1, the socialists will pay.
Do you think EVERYONE is socialist? Also, I’m curious why you focused on Vi’s vote and called it scummy but didn’t even mention mine.
RC wrote:Given the fact that I think both dana and AV have a good chance at being scum, then it's more likely that I'm right about one of those predictions than it is if I advocated, say, Hez, who I do not consider to have a greater chance at being scum (over dana or AV).
This doesn’t make me feel good. Like, I shivered when I read it.
RC wrote:Mmm, this is a bit frustrating now because I see where y'all are coming from. I wasn't intending to pull any sort of trick. I, uh, I think I'm being a little too analytical and distant for my own good here. I think I'll just stop talking for a while.
Sounds like your mocking AV. Didn’t you attack him for his “do you want me to shut-up” post?
OMG that was only like two pages WTF I’m tired.
Ooba’s vote is…random, unexpected.

Orly? ME TOO. Is it strange that I’m getting great town-vibes from Equinox but scum-vibes from Faraday? Torn hydra is torn.

Yeah, I wouldn’t be surprised if everyone was torn.
Toogeloo wrote:Not a single person has even commented on my opinion of SocioPath since I voted him? Is he not worth people's time, and my opinion mean very little, to at least comment on the case I posted? His content is still fluffy. There is nothing there, and I imagine we won't see him again with anything remarkable for some time.
Yeah, its fluffy. I have a null on Sociopath, so its more of an issue of I find many other people scummier. Its also one bad quality when compared to suspects with multiple bad qualities.
Magister Ludi wrote:This is bad reasoning. If you think someone is playing in a scummy manner (as Socio is in fact doing), you don't pass it up or fail to call them out on it. You try and push the wagon. The fact that you also consider him acting in a scummy manner, but not worth lynching, but nukeable, is not a stance I understand or expect to come from a town point of view.
hmm I read MoI’s post differently. I think he was saying that even if SP is scummy, the chance of him getting lynched today is very small because of where the focus is. Similarly, an IS lynch is very unlikely because there were only two votes on him. Also, people who are “in-the-line-of-fire” scummy are much more likely to be lynched than “under-the-radar” scummy. SP is more of a likely nuke target than someone to use up a lynch on.
AV’s hop on the RC wagon is predictable given that he’s very much underpressure.
Swift Justice’s giant post. INSERT URL HERE TOASTIn addition to the funny bird, this post has appeased me for now. I agree with most of his reads (except for Magna and IS, I would switch the two) If it doesn’t keep up, however, my opinions on Faraday will likely take over again. Seriously, I think Swift Justice either as dissociative identity disorder or AGM forgot that they were in the same slot and sent 2 rolePM’s

My one problem. How did you manage to leave out LLD in your reads, then talk about her right after. She didn’t even make it to limbo?
SJ wrote:HezLucky needs nuking, I think, but I'll need to reread him also, particularly his later posts when the momentum moves off him and onto RedCoyote.
You sound unconfident + 5.
I have to pee really bad.
