Right.
Benmage is tunneling on someone with
extra ridiculous piled on, which on some level seems like :benmage:. I don't know if he would be so
terribly blatant about it as scum; I know he's willing to do the outrageous as scum but he tends toward bussing so being ludicrously wrong makes him seem less bad. With that said,
Empire 211 wrote:In contrast, reading through his play in Heroes of Comedy, he's a lot more aggressive (like, A LOT more, the difference is really significant), and he seemed to spend most of the time he was alive deliberately antagonizing MoI and not really giving a shit about his motivations but trying to discredit him as much as possible.
Please double-check now that you have another data point in re: me, please.
CES is still scum until Empire shows me that not only does CES push one person exclusively as Town, but he also does so with transparently bad reasoning. I'd actually like to ask Tierce about Ponies 2 here, since I certainly didn't keep a copy of that game.
Reading CTD shows me that Llamarble, Empire, N, and maybe Nacho are more likely Town, which is a bit unhelpful. I notice that CTD spent a lot of time arguing with Shadoweh without ever voting her.
The wetfox has been doing bothersome things that have had me waffling about his alignment all game. The whole exchange with and about CTD and massclaims early on looks Town-motivated given the way it happened, but then posts like this happen.

but yeah, I'm a bit unsure with the lack of time and everything, but I may actually want to push harder against a N lynch. I don't know what to say though. I think N is less likely scum than I thought before so we should lynch Penguin maybe?
This looks to me like we're dealing with an invertebrate who is putting on a show. I'm not sure if he'd waffle on me so publicly as scum though. I don't know, if I had to put my chips down on green or red I'd call Wetfox Town, but with reservations.
The most striking thing about Empire is his general unwillingness to follow up on his promised wallposts when he's here and what appear to be rolling back-to-back-to-back-to-back V/LAs. On the other hand he's displaying some of the same kind of eagerness Tierce is.
This post looks completely out of character for him;
the last part of this post looks Town. I really don't feel like assuming someone is Town having a bad day because it seems like a bunch of people fall into that category, but given the last link, there it is. Plus it would be a bad thing if he's scum because I've been shamelessly using his meta and reads as a baseline in lieu of actual effort and attention.
Faraday means wagon analysis. The most interesting wagon of the game is this one right here.
Faraday 175 plus one wrote:Llamarble (8) - Benmage, Empire, Deasvail, CrashTextDummie, Vi, penguin_alien, Tierce, Cogito Ergo Sum
This is the first L-1 wagon in a large game, four scum expected, maybe three on the wagon. Where are they?
Llamarble (8) - Benmage, Empire, Deasvail,
CrashTextDummie,
Vi, penguin_alien,
Tierce, Cogito Ergo Sum
I will eat Triple D's hat (actually I may just nibble on it) (he won't actually let me do it, mind) (but he'll fully believe I'll try) (and he should!) if there isn't at least one more scum SOMEWHERE in this quote. The obvious choice is CES, but then, "obvious" isn't really getting through to this crowd.
Konowa's first two pages and interactions with Tierce (e.g. 319) look real. Whole time, I was expecting something worse. The one-liner posting doesn't speak well to his credibility, though, and I really dislike
this post. I would care more about promised effortposts that never actually come if there weren't like five people doing the same thing to be honest.
I know Llamarble is decent as scum but at this juncture I just don't feel the :effort: required to try to envision his posts coming from scum. The wobbly logic/vote progression he has Today doesn't seem very scumsensical, plus his reads have in hindsight not been bad and also a bit against the grain (see: 579).
N was replaced by OGML. I've said all I'm interested in saying about this slot.
Nacho's posting style in general screams scum because the quote stripes don't actually look like they're going anywhere. Yet I continue to be impressed by how Nacho
didn't
take the low-hanging fruit in 703. I wasn't actually intending to discredit Empire with my reference to the Activity Overview - quite the opposite; I was agreeing with him - but etc. Nacho's interactions with me and CES+Vi (in particular 841) look uniformly bad and leave me somewhat confused as to what to think here.
Shadoweh's opening posts, as mentioned before, look fabricated. Post
50 in particular looks like a failed attempt to contribute reads that are supposed to look legitimate. 462 looks pretty nice in hindsight. Shadoweh's willingness to call CES+Vi Town vs. Town looks interesting but so does the throw-out that she'd lynch me even with a trailing note that I'd like elaboration on.
I honestly don't know how to read Tammy; not before looking through her posts, not after.
Tierce is plying generic Tierce Town Tells, but the rest of her play is weak. I would have much more of an issue with this kind of play when and if she actually decides to start putting forth the :effort: to fake what she knows fully well are her Town tells, which I'm pretty sure is not this game.
After looking at Wickedestjr I found the whole thing completely boring. :/
----
tl;dr
CES is scum; after that, one vote for lease to someone who looks like they know what they're doing and have a lot more capacity for paying attention to this game than I do. I'll trade my initial zombie shambling behind Empire for doing the same with Llamarble. I'm most interested in the Llamarble wagon because that doesn't involve extensive reading, seems very likely to have multiple scum on it, and has a fair number of people who are quite likely to be Town on it for some nice PoE action.
Konowa, humor a self-centered meido. Why have you avoided comment on CES vs. me?
Tammy, since your vote isn't really showing it, who do you want lynched right now?
Everything you say and do matters. People will respond in ways you may never see. May those responses be what you intend.
