Eddie Deep Dive:
post 136
Eddies first post in the game, and I don't love this post. We have a bunch of hand wave-y bullshit here including "I wouldn't pick scum in this game" which is a meaningless argument along with "mastina is amazing and therefore ... " which also doesn't mean anything. Additionally, this post has one of my favorite, which is an overall struggle to find players to scum read, while throwing out town tells like candy. In this post on page 6 he declares llamarble town and action town with little to no justification, and his attack on lycan is nonsense. He came in and voted? How is that a scum tell. He ignores me and NSG completely.

This is the post that caused NSG to town read eddie, and to be fair I see their point. BUT as I mentioned at the time this is something I often do myself as scum, find a little something to post fluff about that doesn't actually effect the focus of the day and doesn't ruffle any feathers and doesn't put pressure anywhere.

Mastina is referenced several times at the beginning of his iso, but in a very superficial and name-droppy way. We get one further read list from mastina, (here in
post 1343) despite the fact that she's been around and people (like postie) ask Eddie to talk about their thoughts on the game. This reads like there was an initial plan to make it seem like teammates were involved in the game and then it sort of faded away. I would be much more inclined to expect team mates to be helping with town games rather than scum games, with some exceptions. As it turns out, eddie mentions mastina a whole bunch of times and only mentions a single other teammate once. Is there a reason that he thought that none of his teammates besides the one who prides herself on her (admittedly terrible) scum play would be reading this game?
He also has a weird buddy buddy vibe going on with me
post 370 is an example of this. This is not typically how I would expect town players to interact with other town players.
Perhaps the biggest problem with Eddie from the perspective of this game is that he doesn't seem to have done anything. And I don't mean that he hasn't made posts, but rather that he posts huge gigantic walls that don't really seem to accomplish anything.
post 943 is a good example.
It literally takes me 4 mouse wheel scrolls to go through it, so you would expect it to be filled with tons of opinions on the game or maybe a case against a scum read or what not.
No. It contains the following:
1) My schedule is hectic.
2) Answer to the question "should I answer cases against me?" by LQ.
3) I think you are null LQ.
4) Don't be AtE LQ.
5) anger at llamarbles attempt to game solve.
6) Reiteration of mastinas read which was stated in post 1, which was like 30 posts earlier.
7) Calling llamarble correct for saying he was town.
8) "I'm always scummy"
9) Reiteration that he doesn't like how llamarbles reads shift.
10) "I know I'm going to flip town"
11) "Fuck you I'm not voting"
12) 8 gifs/images.
The problem isn't the one post, its that he has posted almost exclusively this and one liner questions which he doesn't follow up on.
He hasn't really "pushed" anyone the whole game. Sure, he's voted, but I don't get the impression he has any desire to push the days lynches to where he thinks they should go.
Tl;dr version:
1) I think hes playing this game by posting massively sized posts to distract from the fact that hes doing NOTHING.
2) I think the fact that mastina specifically is the one teammated he consistently references is telling.
3) I think his interactions with me feel off, and he's interacting with people in a way that does not look designed to find scum.
4) I think postie's meta case is good.
