This is my first chance not phone posting in a while. I'm skimming some ISOs and getting caught up.

I've been flip-flopping on Gyro a lot but ultimately I'm feeling he's probably town and maybe kind of lynchbait? He's contributed (very slightly) more on D2 by actually posting some reads and thoughts, but his behaviour is still pretty consistent with D1:
In post 288, Gyro Zeppeli wrote:VOTE: faustiv

Super sus replace out and voted me instantly
In post 623, Gyro Zeppeli wrote:Shut up bro, ur legit one of my voters
His defensiveness doesn't come off as scum defensiveness to me and more as frustrated town. There's only one thing that makes me pause a bit with him and that was his Thomth vote on D1 coming right after I unvoted him, and then him completely avoiding any kind of Ojoi vote and being very vocal in their Ojoi town read. What's that mean? Either he's town who happened to town read a townie, or he's scum not wanting to be on a town wagon. Imma just Occam's Razor it for now and say that Gyro is probably just town? There's just something rubbing me the wrong way about a Gyro lynch today. I'm happy for someone to try and convince me otherwise though.

I also think Thomth is town. Or he is outplaying me hard.
In post 495, Thomth wrote:Well on page 1 Urist mentions the term "multiball" which on the wiki ks described as a type of game of mafia with more then one informed minority. However this is a newb game, and someone has said that all of Urists posts should not be taken seriously.

More or less I feel this is not multiball given those two points.
I just can't fathom Thomth being scum and posting this and acting the way he is. Unless this is an amazing example of scum playing dumb, I can't see how scum!Thomth carries that random multi-ball comment this far into the game.

JV and TW feel pretty genuinely town in their input, I have a hard time buying either of them as scum. Think Thomth is town as well.
Gyro I think is anti-town. Urist I haven't really sorted and I just feel null every time I look at his posts, but POI would say that he's probably scum? But I should probably do a deeper dive here. I'm just not getting a lot that's strongly alignment indicative. I feel more comfortable with a GJT lynch tbh.
In post 471, Gjt wrote:Been thinking it over, don't wanna run round in circles. It's only that one comment for me with Gyro, I'd rather push the worst. Regardless of flip them and Urist can be reviewed tomorrow. Still very sure there is a scum vote on the Faustiv wagon

VOTE: Ojoi
I just can't let this one go. I keep looking at it and I don't like it. It's this post that's like "I'm leaving all these other options open" and it feels like he's not expecting a scum flip "Regardless of flip". And this explanation:
In post 477, Gjt wrote:
In post 295, ojoi wrote:do yall think there's the possibility that faustiv is vanilla town? if they had an interesting role with actions and stuff they'd probs stick around for more, but being vanilla town is just sort of disinteresting and not worth their time
Because of this, wasn't sitting well with me, it just seemed scummy all round to me and I didn't wanna go round in another circle with another replacement. Unfortunately I was wrong, was just a silly post to make whether they were Town or Scum at the time. I wasn't dissapointed when I thought they were already lynched so went with it
It's so lame. We don't know that Ojoi would have been replaced. There was literally no harm in at least pushing for a claim. I'm trying to buy it, but I can't.

I don't feel Gjt hammering ojoi D1 is all that AI. Chances of town correctly identifying scum is fairly low especially if scum is playing well. Also it was starting to slow down quite alot, like it is now.

I don't really understand your reasoning behind voting Uncrowned D1 either. You were questioning why they did not want a Gyro lynch D1 but I don't understand how that leads to a vote.

Are you voting for Gjt because you think they are scum or because you did not like the ojoi lynch? 4 others voted for ojoi why Gjt and not them?

Hammering makes you Scum in almost everyones eyes, I believe we are all guilty of it which is why no one likes doing it. If you Hammer and they flip Town it's a Scummy Move. If you hammer and they flip Scum it means you only hammered to cover tracks and look like Town.

It's an over thought process which almost all are guilty of Hammering means you Scum. :facepalm:

I wasn't a fan of Uncrowned hard defending Gyro and trying to talk down any wagons on him so quickly. It just struck me as off. Turned out Uncrowned was town though. I also really didn't use my D1 vote very well.

GJT's hammer feels more scum-motivated to me than town-motivated and I don't buy his reasoning. I strongly doubt 5 townies were on that wagon and GJT looks the most suspect of those votes.

Because Gyro's meta this game seems way cockier than their usual meta. There's no way I want Gyro living anywhere close to MyLo/LyLo

Do you think cockiness is a scum trait or town trait?

Generalized it's neither, but their usual town meta is nothing like this game at all.

We were never gonna get a claim, I thought their play was scummy and I didn't want to go round in circles again with a replacement. I was wrong, but from their play yes I would do it again in the same situation. I thought I had hit Scum. I over looked Gyros "I got a town read on Ojoi" once we thought there was already a lynch. Of course he had a town read, he town read him because Gyro is Scum. I believe the worst is his Scum buddy too

I am currently leaning more on them being lynch bait, does anything in particular point you in the direction of them being scum? You said you are going back and forth on them so I thought there might be something they said/did that you are seeing that I am not.

Urist outright voted for him self twice and JV hinted at them self being scum more then once, as a joke. Why point your finger at Gyro for the same reasons, as far as I can tell, but not Urist or JV?
