as the first vote on meg, i will answer this
i voted them because of post
284. they were v/la, they didn't post pretty much anything, and then they popped in with that post. it gave me the vibe of low-activity scum doing the ~bare minimum~ to appear townie, but not actually solving much of anything, because the post doesn't really say much of anything of value. i've had this "tell" come up in two recent games (can link if necessary) where there was a town player unable to post / low-posting, and they gave zero shits in appearing townie, and there was a scum player low-posting, and they gave an honest effort into doing to minimum to appear townie (i talked about this in
287 and
383).
now, i am fully aware it's possible that a townie vaguely skimmed the game and decided to throw something out, but. eh. to me, the act of "throwing something out after skimming" feels way more likely to come from scum who's more interested in keeping up the appearances of solving / not having the town turn on them while they're not posting, rather than town who's low on time and decided to throw *something* out to help, even though they admit to not being able to read closely. like, makes it feel like they're more concerned with looking like they're solving rather than actually correctly solving.
*however*, all of this may go in the garbage because flubber has been pretty scummy the whole game, and i was willing to write him off as loltownie, especially considering the wagon on him has been the one constant of this game so far. and then titus jumped in from the void to scream how flubber is locktown because she mindmelded with him on this one thing on like page 2 (
420). this uh, made me paranoia a titus/flubber team (
421), so would love your input there
(also while i'm here, something about flubber's "lol why we wagoning the v/la" post (
425) rings very *very* wrong to me, but i can't consciously decide what it is, so idk.)
