While I do owe Porochaz a due diligence reread, I do think you're town and I doubt that'd change much if I ever got around to rereading.
I still think it's CDB, partly due to PoE and partly because for a while Nexus has done pretty much the opposite of his stated reason for the town read but he hasn't even questioned it. I'm not sure exactly what it means but there's something unnatural about it.
Nexus doesn't look great (his reaction to Prozac's claim is still on my mind), and since he was so focussed on Porochaz I've been waiting on his reread for a while. However, I assume CDB has some skill at reading Nexus since three people seem to acknowledge it (Nexus, CDB, CES?) so he's less likely to be scum unless it's with CDB. The game where CDB bussed him was a 24p large, and I haven't read it closely but it seemed he didn't do a great (or loud) job of spelling out his reasoning; the wagon didn't go anywhere and Nexus only ended up dead due to the vig. I think CDB'd have a harder time getting away with that kind of half-measures play in this game, and it seems a lot riskier to Day 1 bus your only buddy vs one of 4. My gut feeling is that the interactions do seem to feel more like CDB buddying town-Nexus who finds it disconcerting but can't realistically argue against it since his play makes him pretty vulnerable without it. The alternative buddy would be Primate/Tammy, and Primate was pretty much a blank for me - what he posted was pretty unobjectionable but limited, which might otherwise be scummy but seemed fairly well explained by playstyle. I remember thinking it was weird that CDB had a strong town read on Primate - he's actually had quite a few town reads, now I think of it. The one point in Tammy's favour was her replace-in post which I thought was townish.

This is some premium waffle and what tips it towards CDB/Tammy for me. In fact, please nail his ass to the wall on this.
I would say CDB/Tammy > CDB/Nexus >> Tammy/Nexus > Ampersand/anyone. But the first two could switch depending on what Tammy/Nexus post today.
Basically, if Nexus is town, it's CDB/Tammy and if Nexus is scum it's CDB/Nexus.
In post 502, Tammy wrote:You say that you'd take a nexus lynch over a shanba lynch, but you never voted for nexus and in your previous post you're voting for cdb. Do you think they're scum together? (I know you previously thought this), but if so why not push the cdb lynch harder?
I think I'd said everything I had on CDB and it didn't seem to take off. I intended to move my vote if something did, but it didn't and I turned out not to be around in any case. I might have done more cheerleading for CDB if I had.
I think it was Shanba saying some of Primate's posts, plural, pinged for him, but only brought up one post that I could see.
Mod, please replace me
. Sorry folks, I'm enjoying this but it's increasingly clear that I have too much on my plate right now.
