SO LET'S RUN THROUGH THINGS AGAIN.
1. zipperflesh
^In the suspect pool for the AP push alone, but probably not a good lynch today. We can come back to him another time.
2. Cybertronix
^Cyber's posting started out weak, but it's gotten stronger and stronger as the game has progressed. He's been raising good points and has shown a clear town train of thought. His stances have been strong, and his posts have been transparent. Add to that, he has a town tone to his posts; his way of negotiating with others feels incredibly natural.
3. mastin2 (replacing Leonshade)
^One of few voices of reason at the moment. Seriously, if ever there was a time to listen to me, now would be it.
4. Thor665
^Ambivalent. Not a day two lynch for that alone.
5. kushm4sta
^Townread #2. His posts are confident, but not arrogant. He shows a level of comfort in this game. This is a strong towntell for someone claiming to strongly prefer to be town (especially a newb), since it shows that he's in his element. He's been open and transparent, very willing to explain himself, and even offering up a broadcast of his strategy as scum--a bold move for anyone actually scum, but quite natural as town. In general, I find it easy to sync with his thoughts and I can see where he's coming from more often than not.
6. MaverickMaestro
^You mighta noticed I kinda stopped mentioning him in public. In my QT*, though, it's a different story. Quite frankly, I was hoping to apply pressure to him by day three, but I didn't want to do so while I still had strong leads in kthnx/d3x/Thor. Now that my d3x and Thor reads have weakened, he's definitely worth looking in to.
7. qwints (replacing Devourer359)
^Qwints's posts might not be the strongest in the game, but I still feel as if he's town. AP's town #1, kush is town #2, and qwints is definitely in the running for town spot #3. His hammering on Dave, contrary to what anyone else may have claimed, was town in nature and far,
far
too bold for scum, as getting rid of the cop via hammering them and drawing attention to yourself is not worth it; it'd be pretty suicidal, in fact, and ultimately backfire on them. (Yeah, yeah, *insert "WIFOM!" cries here*, which I DGAF about; that term's way too overused.)
8. Jake from State Farm
^While a solid candidate for scum, he's a claimed PR. Give him one damn day, okay?
9. Kthxbye (replacing SafetyDance)
^This should be our lynch today. Safety Dance's posts are some of the worst I've ever seen in my 100-game career, and are about as blatantly obvious newb-scum as you can get. He was showing all the classic signs of scum not knowing what the heck they were doing; he was on the defensive and was trying to scrape by on a mislynch rather than be lynched himself. He showed no initiative, he showed no original thoughts (his posts were largely fluff), and if that wasn't enough, kthnxbye--his replacement--did much the same.
10. d3x
^Like Thor, ambivalent. Unlike Thor, I actually have a lean on him:
Town.
Just gut, mainly, at the moment, and I'll eventually need to get a stronger read on him, but he's not a lynch for today.
11. AngryPidgeon
^Towniest town player of all towns. Seriously, read his posts at any stage in the game. Early, mid (end of day one), late (current). They show the exact same picture, someone who is scumhunting and doesn't give a damn that people find him suspicious. He's not backing down from the things he believes in, nor is he concerned about how people view him when he sees a new piece of evidence which changes his read.
* *insert "Wait, what?!? YOU HAVE A QT?!?" here*
So there. The clear lynch candidate for today is kthnx.
