Deflecting?
Sure, I like lists. Be warned; most of this is based off recent interactions; I don't feel like rereading the entire thread for each player left:
1. Shteven
: His arguments with Glork color my perspective of him, but right now I am feeling townie. I'd like to hear more from him in regards to Kinetic and MBL. I don't particularly like his post #2247; it's too noncommittal and I don't like noncommittal at this stage of the game. Why do you think Kinetic is scummy but not worth "building" a case against? If you find someone scummy you need to be probing for more information from them. I get the tone from his posts that he wants to go after TCS but is afraid to actually step up, make the case, and vote accordingly.
2. MrBuddyLee (MBL)
: I think you're more likely town than SK, and not likely scum at all. Sometimes I get the feeling that you lurk in bigger games until the later stages then come out full-firing, but I haven't played with you enough to know for sure. I do however think that you could be a serious distraction/problem to deal with in the endgame if we don't peg the SK, and soon.
5. The Central Scrutinizer (TCS)
: I'd like clarification on his post about the wagon on Kinetic looking opportunistic. With the exception of maybe MBL, no one else on the wagon or thinking that Kinetic looks scummy was in serious trouble of a lynch today. Couple that with the fact that you think Kinetic looks scummy as well bothers me. Because it was Glork you agreed with (with whom you have made it general policy to disagree with in this game so far) makes me wonder even more. I think TCS might be a good candidate for SK; he's tried to play as low profile as possible, and jumping in with Glork here might be to try and bolster the "MBL is SK" feeling floating around. If MBL is lynched and Glork dies tonight, TCS would probably feel pretty good about his chances as SK, especially since he could fairly easily resurrect a wagon against Kinetic later in the game.
6. Coron 6. inHimshallIbe 6. AlyG
: Not enough relevant, recent info for me to get a read on. I don't like his post #1950
at all
, especially considering he flaked shortly thereafter. He also was adamant about wanting Guardian killed after the Doc claim, which I thought was either really bad play or scummy play; he had to backpedal on that since Guardian effectively hammered Sarc. I think inHim is a more than average chance of being the gf, but there is not anywhere near enough there to throw a vote down on.
9. BattleMage 9. Kinetic
: Scum. Obv.
12. Glork
: 99% believe his claim; the only possibility that I can see is he is the SK, but I don't buy it, as played out above and because his play is consistent with cop-play. If he's trying to run a burn on us then more power to him, it'll be one of the greatest plays I have ever seen if he pulls it off. Unless he manages to live through a couple of nights and we don't get the goon in that timeframe, he's effectively confirmed to me.
16. Jack
: I don't like his play with regards to MBL. I agree with his stance on kinetic, but I can't decide if he's merely following (first Glork, then myself) or if he is convinced kinetic is scum. He might be the goon; no investigation of him yet, and his place against the Sarc wagon could be telling. But then again, he voted YB, who I thought (still think) was the superior play in that situation, so I don't really hold it against him. He defended Guardian (after the *unclaim*) at first and tried to keep the lynch on him from progressing on a LaL front. I've already said that it would have been good for scum to keep Guardian alive in the game, so this is a point against him, in my book.
17. Yogurt Bandit 17. Mole
: Really thought YB was scum day 1; now I don't know. When I brought my initial lengthy attack against him, MoS and Sarc were two of the first to jump on. I don't know if they were bussing or if they thought the case was strong enough to wrangle a mislynch out on a weak player. Since then he's been much, much quieter, but still shown a propensity to jump on the nearest wagon. If Guardian is to be believed, YB played like that as town. A lot of my misgivings about YB centered on his interactions with Guardian, and I thought they had a strong chance of being teamscum together. With Guardan officially town, my feelings about YB are muddled. Regardless, he was completely useless when it came to scumhunting; his vote for Sarc looked like another "save myself" vote, which he also did with Albert on day 1. Someone in the game has stated that there is no way YB is the SK, but I don't remember who. If you think that, why? I don't particularly feel him being the SK either, but I don't really know why I feel that, and I'd like to hear what everyone else thinks. The MoS kill could have easily been YB-SK. The fact that he has survived two near-lynches, and two known scum were on him for a lot of that period, makes the likelihood of his being teamscum go down, in my opinion, and that might be coloring my feel for him being the SK.
18. Nik Zero 18. Yosarian2
: With the exception of lurker hunting I've pretty much agreed with Yos2's play this game. He lurked for a while, but most of us have at some point this game. I think he's raised good questions so far, and I love his initial stance on Guardian's unclaim. He was kind of the first person to really call for a Guardian lynch; since scum would want to keep the confusion Guardian provoked alive as long as possible, I like his play in that instance.
Most scummy to least scummy:
Kinetic
inHIm/AlyG
TCS
YB/Mole
Jack
Shteven
MBL
Yos2
Glork
The only player I feel really good about is Kinetic, everyone else besides Yos2 and Glork is kind of middle of the pack and could move one way or the other depending on night kills, etc.
