Damn Damn Damn.
I lost the entire post that I spent ages writing. I'll try to redo it as accurately as possible:
Let's get this deadline retracted. Here are my thoughts on every player, in alpabetical order.
Adele: I like the new avatar. Old one was decent too though. I still lean more towards scum than town. On day 1 she didn't do much, and I didn't like the hop on the voidybunns wagon. She's made one or two decent observations today, after being called out on it. Her last post was strange. I still feel as though sometimes she posts just to appear to be contributing.
ChannelDelibird: Seems more like a spectator than a player. I was going to suggest replacing him, but he just made a post before me. I don't find his post very inspiring though. He hasn't come up with much original content. I'll have to metagame him a bit, as we have little playhistory.
CES: I admit I'm partially relying on others who know him better. Seems bandwagonish. Voted Andrew and voted spectrumvoid, didn't really say why. Not sure how he might play as scum.
Ether: An interesting one. I agreed with most of her day 1 stances. However one or two ppl have posted some things that made me go back and look at her posts again. She somehow managed to put up a strong defence of Andrew while leaving some openings to change her mind. I thought the use of the word loathe was curious. I don't have a problem with what she said about Glork's FoS of IH because I agreed with it. I though IH was sucking up to Thesp, then quickly tried to look like he wasn't sucking up by expressing a really crap suspicion of Thesp. I did find Ether's Nightfall vote strange though. It seemed like she went out of her way to not vote Andrew, and only wanted to be associated with his lynch if she was hammering him to make a deadline. She needs to post today. I think she's on vacation though.
Fritzler: Not sure what to say about him. I noted that he defended Andrew very early on, "Andrew is not the play" then seemingly randomly attacked SV then later decided he was happy to vote Andrew afterall.
Glork: I didn't like his play on day 1. Today he's got his act together. I liked some of the analysis he's done and thing's he's said, they gave me a pro town vibe. Still one or two inconsistencies stick out, mainly the vote on Andrew that I mentioned, for which he has no explanation.
Unvote
though, I don't find him the scummiest.
MgM: I think the day 1 case against him was overstated. However, the defences he's used today for asking spectrumvoid to claim set off alarm bells with me. If you think someone is a powerole, you step up to defend them if needed. I am struggling to reconcile what MgM did with a pro town mindset. Interesting is how Adele said "Someone owes someone an apology, which seemed to be a way of avoiding taking a side. Last thing on Mgm is that his vote for Glork in post 465 felt strangely oppotunistic. More likely than average to be scum.
MBL: Has made some useful observations/analysis. I liked his thoughts on Thesp's playstyle. The only strange thing to me is the overemphasis on the early Thespwagon, which seemed to me nearly irrelevant. I don't think it was part of any special programme.
Nightfall: Earlier in the game I would have lumped him in with the non contributors. Since then he's said some things. I didn't much agree with the hammering down on AndrewS but I don't find Nightfall very scummy. His reasons for absence seemed genuine to me.
Thesp: Interesting. Took almost sadistic pleasure in taking apart some of Andrew's arguments yesterday. Never let up once. I disagree with his philosophy of just lynching the first guy you find scummy really quickly, but I've seen it before so I can't say it's surprising. What I haven't seen before from him, is the relative lameness of his day 2 suspicions. I agree that he seems to be laying low after spearheading the Andrew lynch yesterday.
Zindaras: Interesting also. I still found it strange that he suggested I was laying low on day 1 when he hadn't done much. Heavily attacked spectrumvoid on day 1, still not too sure why. I can actually agree with Thesp that something feels not quite right. It feels odd to accuse him of flying under the radar because he's made quite a few posts, but that's the feeling I get so I'm saying it anyway.
What did you do that for?
I caught CDB as scum via a cop investigation in another game but I sat back and watched his play rather than blurt out that I had a result. He was significantly manipulative in that game, and I see him as significantly passive in this game. My read on him is lazy town. My vote's on you because while you're passive as well, your behavior change indicates a desire for self-preservation rather than town preservation. I suppose CDB's does as well, but your D1-D2 shift is stark and inexplicable. His play is consistently slack.
