Okay, I'm basically reading through the game again, and posting my thoughts as I go.
Posts 15 - 17: J says that he doesn't like meta, which actually supports his read on me later on.
Post 29: I find it curious that Painted fos'd Slandaar but didn't vote him, considering Painted's vote was still there from RVS. Painted, why didn't you vote Slandaar then?
Post 30: I wasn't worried about the vote, I wanted to confirm that you did it for the reasons I suspected. Or are people under suspicion not allowed to scumhunt?
Post 31: Well, we're still quite close to RVS, I guess. The reasons are fairly weak, but valid.
Post 32: Didn't notice this before, but Slandaar's post here in relation to Deasveil is actually fairly similar to Painted's first post in relation to me - he's questioning an attack on someone else before that person has a chance to address it themselves.
Post 33 - 34: That's a fair enough conclusion at that stage of the game.
Post 35: I'm actually not sure about this post...I agree than Painted overreacted, but honestly, most everyone did. If you think your post was just RVS and not worth overreacting to, why didn't you comment on Slandaar's vote as well?
Post 39: Okay, that explains it a little better, but I'm still not sure I agree, because that's without a doubt nitpicking - talking about the format of a case rather than its content.
Post 41: I don't like this post at all. Seems a little too much like subtle buddying.
Okay, something I've just realised. It's almost impossible for me to read Painted clearly - I'm too intertwined in his scumminess/not scumminess. I mean, I just can't get a read on him without my emotions interfering. If someone really wants me to post a case on him, I will, but it'll be completely biased.
Post 46: I'm not sure about this one. I guess town could have very strong reads earlier in the game, but it seems more likely that scum would. I don't know.
Post 47: The thing about this post is that your only vote was from RVS - you obviously felt somewhat suspicious of Slandaar, so wouldn't even slight suspicion be better than a vote for no reason at all?
Post 49: The thing about this, Painted, is that it was a
day one vote
. In most games, that's still RVS (and it was RVS here). You don't need good reasoning in RVS.
End of Page 2. Thoughts so far: Slandaar is looking worse to me on a second readthrough, although I wouldn't vote for him yet. Posting in blocks to avoid a wall post.
PEdit: Yeah, I admit I haven't been scumhunting as much as I could have (which I'm trying to rectify at the moment). This is the first time in a mafia game where I've really been under proper pressure, and since it's been practically from the beginning of the game, I've been less helpful than I could've been. I know it's not much of an excuse, but I
am
trying to scumhunt properly now.
