I think the Transcend wagon is a bad one:
- His claim is not scummy. His stated reason for making the claim is a plausible gambit, and I've not seen one person voting for him giving a better explanation. Yes, the claim ended up being negative for the town, and I happen to agree that it was unwise (though not clearly so). That isn't enough to justify why scum!Transcend would have done it.
- UC's point
here about "random pushes he didn't back up at all" is better. I'm not good at reading a playstyle like Transcend, but his D1 pushes certainly never made me think he was town.
- If we are policy lynching
to win the game
, Transcend is not the best policy lynch. His playstyle is hard to read, but information heavy. You can bet that if he's here on, say, D4, he'll have had enough interactions that we have a good chance at reading him. We'd do better to lynch whoever is least contentful.
- The only reason I see to lynch Transcend is a policy lynch
to have more fun
. And
I'm not here to have fun
I don't think that's the way of dealing with that problem (I also don't find the game less fun with Transcend in it, except in sympathy when other people find it really awful).
Rereading because he's what's hot - I'm kind of torn.
- I agree that he's playing a safe game - Luca puts it well
here.
- In specific posts, nothing makes me think scum and a few things make me think town; that's put him in my townpile until now. I quite like his
big reads post - particularly the reads on Viomi and sheep, which seem very honest.
Post 84 also pinged me as town, though now Luca's got me thinking that it's a weird thing to think, and so maybe that ping was deliberate.
Overall, I think he could be scum who is good at pressing some of my towntell buttons.
VOTE: DV
I think
boring
is pretty likely to be scum given Day 1. The wagons through the day, never quite reaching a lynch, which were full of townie goodness - I don't think scum wanted that lynch. It's a really... er... dull way of thinking someone's scum, because there's no way to respond to it. I've got no strong read on boring's actual play.
There are a few too many people in this game who I can't really think of anything interesting about. I'll be sorting that out soon - this weekend at the latest.

Ha. I was wondering if you were going to start doubting me here after you commented on that one. TBH I have very little reassurance for you - I don't know a reliable way to tell my scum game from my town game.
