Doing this in no particular order because fuck it I don't feel like organizing this well. Also I'm not even gonna attempt a read on the Aeronaut slot. Waiting for the replacement on that one.
TheDudeAbides
: He hasn't been posting much and what he has posted has been mostly needlessly aggressive and somewhat confusing. He's pushing I guess but he's posted very little and so it's impossible to know what he thinks of current events due to the pace of the game. Not inherently scummy but for the most part nothing constructive and fairly anti-town. He's certainly not helping much.
Post 140 especially emphasizes this.
Verdict: Somewhat anti-town.
-----
oddmusic
: He'd been waffling a bit before and still hasn't posted a huge amount but I'm definitely liking his posts more now. He seems more focused and sure of himself, and what he has posted is solid. Not much to go on but I'm liking what I see for the most part, especially his last 3 or 4 posts.
Verdict: Tentative town lean. I hope to see more good things to come from him.
-----
Taly
: Oft panicky under pressure, as I've said before, and while this isn't necessarily a super bad thing I don't like how he's twice now sheeped another player. Once pressured to unvote, and now, three posts after his initial post on RC, he suddenly decides to go for the vote when Metal does. I don't like his play very much up to this point, and while he has done some good work I don't like how wishy washy he's being.
Verdict: Slight to moderate scum lean.
-----
Metalcyanide
: Good head on his shoulders, posts fairly regularly and with substance. Overall fairly good play, I like him a fair deal.
Verdict: Moderate town read. There really isn't much to say, he's a decent player.
-----
mykonian
: I agree with odd's points on mykonian, he hasn't posted much and what he has has been mostly useless and unexplanatory. He's being confusing but ballsy and drawing attention to himself deliberately (
Post 76,
Post 180), which is not typically what scum are wont to do. He's certainly a strange player and he's been fairly unreadable.
Verdict: Slight scum lean.
Question @mykonian
: Did you ever explain your personal reasons for immediately disliking eek's posts?
-----
Aquanim
: Posts often and makes good points, hunting, responding to questions. People, especially RC, are focusing a bit too much on his apparent correlation with oddmusic. I mean yeah sure I get it, they could be buddies, and the wagon jumping points that eektor had made are valid, but it seems more likely to me that Aqua just saw a point he didn't agree with and argued it.
Verdict: Slight town read. Conflicted feelings based on others' reads as well as my own reviewing of his posts.
-----
eektor
: Mixed feelings. Aqua makes a somewhat solid case about superficiality but he's been posting alright since then and I think I like him a little. I don't really know what to make of him overall though, I think I'm going to withhold judgement for a while.
Verdict: Null. No significant lean. Convince me, if anyone would like to try.
-----
toolenduso
: Barely anything to go on here. I'm working with 6 posts, only half of which were in the last two days. I like
260, fairly substantial, he makes good points. I look forward to his hopeful participation.
Verdict: Null, slight town lean.
-----
pisskop
: There's something to be said for brevity, and though kop's posts have almost never been more than one line, as he says, he does take positions and stances on things, pushes people and questions regularly.
Verdict: Moderate town lean. He's done good and certainly isn't doing any harm. In general, I like him.
-----
Elyse
: Elyse is almost boringly town. She's a leader, which scares me a bit as she could just be an extremely competent scum, but when your entire scum case for someone is based on
just how goddamn town
they are, especially on day one, it's a moot point.
Verdict: Town, until if and when evidence suggests otherwise. I'm quite confident in this one.
-----
RadiantCowbells
: She takes after my own heart, taking an unrelated plural noun and adjective and slapping them together to form a name. Perfect. Jokes aside, I don't know if I really like RC or not. Aggressive and headstrong, she's either a pushy towny or a regular scum. Still, she makes good points and drives a hard bargain, and I have to appreciate that.
Verdict: Null. There are scum lean and town lean aspects here so I'm just going to say "Null" rather than "I'm confused as fuck."
Phew. That took longer than expected. I'm pretty sure I've adequately collected my thoughts here, and I've decided I'm happy with a Taly lynch today. Even I was unsure of my exact feelings on everyone until this post forced me to consider every player individually, and I've come to the conclusion that Taly is at the top of my scum list.
VOTE: Taly
