This is not really in any particular order, so bear with me please <3
@INB: Okay, if you want an analysis of the MC wagon, there's, like a 90% chance or whatever of scum being on the wagon. Except that's assuming it's random, when it probably isn't. Frankly, it's almost exactly as helpful to say that "there is definitely scum
off
the wagon," so I don't see any special reason to focus on people on the wagon vs people off the wagon, or to use it as a reason to SR anyone.
Anyway
In The Beginning:
That vote to, quite deliberately, put MC at E-1 was scummy af. The no-elimination vote is super weird, but doesn't make any sense for scum to do, and I don't he's done anything scummy since. Probably town.
Infinity:
I really think scum would've dropped a baseless read by this point, rather than riding it and risking making themselves look scummier in the process. He's making some effort to generate reads, so I'll say this is probably townie.
Murdercat:
I think everything he said during the exchange with Infinity was reasonable. Accusing Infinity of lying about his read strength... that's a bit scummy, but considering there is no actual logic to the read to start with, it's understandable. Has also raised a couple decent points. Null.
Toogeloo:
Has done basically nothing... although given his RL situation, that might be understandable. I'll need to see more though, and I don't like what I've seen so far.
Aristophanes:
So I agree with MC that the "Good catch" thing felt kinda fake, so when I was writing this post I took a look at Ari's ISO and... holy crap. There are several questions, but no analysis/follow-up on the answers and reads on maybe three people. I think this is all pretty suss.
Flea the Magician:
Well, Titus, since you asked,
here and
here are examples of people overestimating Flea's towniness IMO (yes, the second one is after my post. That's because I misinterpreted #106 as Mara saying Flea was town for #105, rather than the reality that Mara was responding to Italiano's #104)
With that out of the way, I disagree that Flea is nearly as town as some think.
#69 is what Italiano TRed them on, but I think it looks kind of "fake townie" like a little too cutesy "oh ha ha that was close!" (in fact, that's basically what the post says, and it rubs me the wrong way), and I definitely agree with ITB that scum would be glad to not be a townie's turbowagon. #105 has Flea
outright saying that they are going to lurk.
They do have "reads" on a handful of people, but most of the posts even since RVS are just fluff. I think scum!Flea could easily be trying to skate by doing the bare minimum.
The slot's null to me, by the way. Just noting that Flea is definitely not a lock for town.
Gamma Emerald:
Not quite sure what to make of him...
appears
to be trying to make an effort to analyze and question, yet kind of has Ari's problem of lack of follow-up (I don't see any attempt at follow-up to
#176 or
#179 for example). Also was mostly on Ari before switching to Johnny (although for understandable reasons). Null.
ItalianoVD:
I had a sneaking suspicion that Italiano might be scum trying to misdirect town toward MC's wagon, but after reading his ISO I don't really think so now. Scum would probably be trying to push those people regardless of whether any of them had posted or not, as that would give great towncred. That being said, this slot is null.
Titus:
Titus' posts, by and large, don't seem very substantive to me. There's a weak (her word, not mine) read on Murdercat, a naked vote on Infinity that's basically a sheep of Mara, and then a jump onto Johnny (which is very understandable, and which I'm going to be doing at the end of this post, but could also be an easy miselim for scum to push). She does correctly point out why my second post was terrible, but that's it. Scumlean.
Jackson Virgo:
No read, because they've had barely any activity up until now and I'll give them the benefit of the doubt.
Momrangal:
Appears to be making effort to make reads and ask question (but, again, lack of follow-up) and even question her own reads, so seems more town than scum to me. On the MC townread: I don't SR him, but I do think meta is BS.
Why do you think Infinity is scum, by the way?
JohnnyFarrar:
Mostly has fluff posts except for, like, maybe three. Which are mostly terrible anyway;
#161 makes
#203 look ironic af, because 203 calls Gamma lazy for voting Johnny... while 161, as far as I can tell, picks three random names from the MC wagon, which was already looked at with suspicion, and with no reasoning. After 161 is a bunch of fluff, a naked read on Infinity, and an OMGUS on Gamma. I don't see the slightest attempt at questioning or analysis, so there's nothing townie here as far as I can tell.
VOTE: JohnnyFarrar
and who said I'm human!? o.o
I love you didn't link #

Of course if I see something that doesn’t sit right with me I’m gonna push it regardless.
