He starts the game off asking harmless-looking questions to keysor, AI, Ircher. Post RVS he votes Ircher for ok reasoning, he didn't like Ircher scumreading him based on the innocuous question to keysor about fakeclaiming.
I think posts like
60 and
61 are rather awkward from town and especially the latter in which he's trying to teach his vote. He talks a lot about theory and what how he plays the game which never gives me a good feeling about someone. He loves to go into meta, which he did for ircher (
118), then later for others in
286 288 and also for me in
412 which he tries to use as justification to vote me. He comes in as the 4th man on my wagon (though sort of 5th as ircher had just switched to droog for a while at the time), which is involved but not a focus point as the l-1 or a later hammer-decider would be. I think it's BS how he tried to twist my intentions (trying to paint my RVS as scummy which is absurd, and also assuming that me not liking the PK wagon = must have strong townread on him despite statements to the contrary) and justifies his vote with meta despite it all being ongoing-game and not much of it either. Overall I hate his primary tool of reading everyone being meta (see: his conclusion on ircher, PK, and me) which isn't something that people can really engage over, and his wishy-washy focus. I feel he's been involved in pretty much every going-on in the thread but his actual actions feel half-hearted and weak. My concern is that the weirdness I feel in his posts is partially from his quirks as a player and I might be going too hard on him for that. Medium Scumlean.
Ircher + AI
My previously made points on Ircher all still stand. What spooked me off the Ircher wagon was the Ircher <-> AI interaction, recently reinforced. Yeah, AI's hard defended Ircher all game from a level of confidence that doesn't match his reasoning (a shared game and no idea of what scumIrcher looks like). But now in addition Ircher is saying he gut-reads AI despite not liking his posts and its based on something that'd be "prob. be best I didn't say.", which is kind of fishy. I don't think being in a scumteam would explain this behaviour, I get the feeling they're in a neighbourhood or something else is going on I can't understand. I don't feel as comfortable with this as before though at this rate I don't think I'll get what I want anyways.

Hasn't changed particularly much from the null-scum earlier (
610). Since then, he admits I wasn't on his reads lists for lack of impression one way or another but soon after states he'd be down joining the wagon on me so that's meh. I haven't looked into the performer case and wagon so I'll reserve judgement on that, but I do remember previous to his scumread him saying everything on the page by performer was town which is funny. Still a weak read to do anything but I'd take this wagon over one on a townread or me.
I'm going to bed now. Keyser if you can summarize your reasons for voting me again it would be appreciated, I know the other people who are voting me thoughts pretty well but I'm thinking you have a decent chance at being town.
