OK, generic has returned and generic is going to tell you what generic has analysed... (that better Majiffy?
)
Anyway, to the 5 names left to sift through
Slandaar - First 9 posts are nothing of value. All RVS, fluff and discussion about a past game. Then on post 10 sheeps a vote from garmr with poor reasoning.
2 more posts of nothing, then finally he enters into the game with a question (to grim). But then doesnt follow up on the question before jumping in with a few town reads and an attack on desp and grim.
Presses pie to answer a question yet has not bothered with the one he threw out, but returns to grim with a statement format question.
Does follow up this one at least with grim, but both seem to be happy with pie's list out of the blue yet the arguement is over the number of scum identified...? We can only lynch one person at a time, so even if someone only had a single scum read i dont get the arguement. But i digress.
Post #125 is good pressure on pie, and even though he was protecting pie from grim earlier that felt more defending against the poor point (and in turn putting more pressure back on grim) rather than actively defending pie, who slandaar had pushed to answer the question previously.
Direct answer to majiffy and then more pressure on pie.
The last few posts are much better than the first half of his posting, with strong pressing and questioning, a request to be questioned while he is online due to the deadline (inviting the scrutiny so answers can flow immediately) and then waving away role fishing questions without an overreaction.
Overall a slow burner into the game, but he hit the NOS button after he settled into the race i think
Town for now, and off the list.
And then there were 4...
Marquis - 4 posts, none of which hold any sort of value. 2 in RVS, one fluff comment and a fluff 'catching up' post.
Lurky scum potential.
Grimgroove - Good opening post, opinions on players and although at that stage in the game the reasoning is not as vital he still lays firm reasoning to the opinion.
Presses how a question is being dodged. Again fine.
Oh dear, we have a game mechanics arguement to try and pin accusation on someone. These always end badly. This isnt a scum tell as both alignments can make silly theories like this, but the arguement is awful from grims side of the fence.
Persists with the stupid logic, again its null cos gambiting scum or overeager townie could do the exact same thing.
#87 is troubling. Grim knew about the past game. Even if he hadnt made the connection that the three named scum in pies list were the scum last time he has argued this inside knowledge of the number of scum crap for two posts when he should surely have been aware the last game had 3 scum... meaning logically if someone wants to assume anything 3 scum makes perfect sense. And the nature of the turnaround here is a little bit forced to me.
A good final post, with analysis on players that looking at mine now seem to draw the same conclusions from the same factors. The vote on garmr seems genuine given how his voting has been, and its off a post i also questioned of garmr's (see below).
Town pass for now.
Garmr - First three posts are throwaway (RVS, fluff). Points out someone might have a post restriction... null for the time being. A stupid unvote/revote post which is sold as a conversation igniter but serves as fluff. More fluff in responding to majiffy's joke formatted question about being behind him in a wagon, and then further affirms hes happy with his vote and that im town. No expansion or involement.
References the comments to the previous game and how it alienates those who werent in it. Seems to place doubt in his own point, feels a bit non commital.
Post #130, the post that gives me hope for this player being town. Garmr runs through all the concerns i have just stated above and answers them (spookily as if he knew i would ISO him and build the previious opinions...
) And this post is a very good town cred earning post.
Finishes strong from here with answering questions and applying opinion.
To return to the TFATF analogy Garmr saw slandaar hit his boost but held off his button for those few moments longer to get the kick later for the line.
Town for now.
BigTerp - Scum, he voted for me.
Ok, so seriously, his opening is like a few openings in that he RVS votes, responds to pie's query as to not noticing the reference to the previous game.
Post #8- is good because while still referencing the previous game he makes it relevent to this game for reading others. He offers a couple of opinions on the general play of grim and TSO.
Post #82 is interesting, because he dismissed the pie list as RVS which would make sense if he spotted the reference to the last game, and then makes a different assumption on the team breakdowns (which is strange if the last game had three scum, but that wouldnt make it set in stone either).
Presses AK for more detail on a read, but places no agenda to it (devoid of opinion, just a question). Foes on to defend slandaar to desp.
More positive opinion on players, still no clear cut suspects. Starting to feel a bit like not wanting to rock the boat with anyone.
Post #96, finally commits to a negative read on someone. Based off an attack on grimgroove by TSO. So much wifom here so i wont expand at this time.
Yet another town/positive read.
#116, mindful of the dealine but feels an impulse lynch will not help, which is fair enough. But given the play up to now from him his only suspect is TSO yet he didnt offer this as the best lynch option for the day. Something here is feeling a little... coasting.
Takes issue with AK limiting the pool to choose a lynch from. We all have our ways of doing these things so to question it isnt the problem... the problem is that this statement was made on friday so with only 3 RL days of play in front of us and the need to sleep each night we all have the idea that he wants to stifle someone reducing the pool to focus pressure on a few seems a bit misguided... or has an agenda.
Asks his only scum read up to now why he thinks majiffy is scum... no pressure applied to TSO since his vote nor any follow up and then this remains the only interaction since.
And then finally to the kicker, his last post. After pressing AK regarding not needing to rush a decision, wondering why windblown for lynch and further pressing the point about not limiting options so quickly, just 24 hours later he goes 'Fuck it' and votes windblown, pushing him to L-2?!?
I have a shortlist of three, Bigterp has done the opposite of Garmr and slandaar in that he started well, he was first off the line of these 5 players, yet he wasted that NOS momentum and is now stalling... okay, the analogy is falling on its arse now.
So my big three suspects are (in order):
Bigterp
Telo
Marquis
Based on how it has read to me,
vote big terp
