I feel like the game is as easy as {Majiffy, Reck, and one of Lovebird/GiF}. Right now, {Majiffy, Reck, Lovebird} is what makes sense for me currently.
Majiffy is a read that has been explained multiple times in thread, I'm not going over that again on why he's scum. His recent posting doesn't really do much to change this. It DOES support my other reads.
Reck I am scumreading based on play AND it makes a lot of sense to be scum with Majiffy actually. I feel like his timing to vote Majiffy is extremely convienent for a bus. And the way he's pushing Majiffy just seems a lot like a bus to me because for the most part, it covers most if not all of the bussing checklist which is:
[X] Have the partner you are bussing distance from you particularly by fos'ing them (IE Majiffy scumreads Reck and Reck is hardpushing Majiffy. Not to mention a lot of how Majiffy is pushing Reck, makes me think that it is scum distancing from each other)
[X] Hard commitment to the push. (When you hardbus, you can't suddenly get off, you have to commit to the bus. And a lot of how Reck is pushing Majiffy comes across like a bus. This especially shows when it comes to his reaction to Majiffy's recent posting)
[X] The timing works as a bus and because of that, it nets Reck cred (Remember the Bambi wagon had just died down. Scum!Reck could have just continued to try to push Bambi, however when it comes to the late game, it wouldn't get him that far. BUT if he pushes Majiffy here, he can potentially try to get bus cred that will help him out for the late game)
Now when it comes to the Lovebird read, I feel like a lot of their reaction to the wagon feels like scum that got cold feet. They can't defend it, because it makes them look bad. They also don't want to bus it for some reason. Like,
528 comes off to me as not really knowing what to do. It also doesn't really come across as a defense that was naturally formed.
GiF is also mostly here because the doublevote seems towny but just don't townread him for that please?
