What do you want to discuss? So far you've said very little beyond that you were scumreading NK15 and townreading your slot before you joined. And you're surprised that Megs was elimmed.

I've done the analysis I wanted to do today, and I'm waffling as to whether to post it because I'd kinda rather starve scum of information until tomorrow.

I think the time to prepare was the most important aspect of waiting to hammer for today. Thinking that you're likely to be the kill tonight but having analysis / info that you really want to be seen is the only reason to post stuff now imo. We want scum to be making a kill fairly blind tonight.
I'm surprised Tejate Raichu got voted. I assumed the last maf would want to leave as many people as possible alive who voted for Meg, since were were naturally the most suspicious

Why did you expect to be the NK?
Tejate has been deeply involved in the game since his replace-in and a town leader, and Binatog's soft claim might still have been a concern/consideration to the scum among us.

I think he has more experience playing with me than anyone else who was in this game, except maybe Prism. Which is not saying a lot, and all his experience has been with me in a town-hydra. I can grasp that I might be paranoia-inducing, though. His stance on me, even when I have agreed with him that I don't belong in elo (and I think I said it first), has a caricature-like simplicity. It seems mostly based on NK15 with not much about my own play and stances aside from my reaction to NK's counterclaim and sudden declaration that I was town.
In general, I feel like I've been set up, though maybe there was no grand scheme involved in how day 1 played out. T3 is the player most taking advantage of the optics to push me.
BUT
There's a huge Town+ for his slot IMO, in Prism's page 1-2 push on his predecessor. As town in newbie games she will often go after the first mild +scum indicator as a sort of demonstration of how to get out of RVS and start looking for real reasons to vote. Scum Prism tends to distance from her partner but not as quickly and emphatically as she did here...in my limited experience. That final phrase is the kicker.

The backbone of this read is really meta from their first MS game where they was scum. They played well as scum against a stacked town, but their play in that game lacked fluidity. They were not reacting to game events in real time for the most part and their reactions were cautious.
In this game, I don't see the same kind of caution and care in taking stances and I see a fluidity that comes off very town. I don't feel like their being on the Megs wagon negates that. All of town were presented with a paradox -- what turned out to be 2 fake claims.
I realize there's something I didn't investigate yesterday, though I'll get to that within 24 hours.
