Summarization
Toro:
I dislike the way Toro hopped on Cain right in the beginning. He continues to push this idea in his (relatively) rare posts. Going for an easy lynch? I really disliked his post 179, he asks for town approval, claims Cain is going for the easy lynch while Toro himself is pushing a noob-lynch. Switches his vote to Saber over little to me, both Zazie had some reasons for voting Saber, Toro had nothing except a 'bad feeling.' I don't like how Toro tries to make something out of the people not on Zazie's huge list, he's trying to make something out of nothing here. Not sure what to make of the buddying between him and Saber. As soon as DTM votes Cain he's quite willing to jump back on the easy wagon, dislike. Later he has to be called out to post his own thoughts before someone elses, I really don't like that.
Nik:
Out of the original spat, I thought he came out scummiest, but only slightly. Since then he has been active(?) but I realized when I was writing this that I've gone an incredibly long period of time without making a note here. He sure held out a long time before making another post and I don't really felt like he made a good catch-up post considering he said he was re-reading like 4 pages. Nik scored some town-points with me concerning peace on page 18, even though Toro also raised a valid point against him.
DTM:
Didn't like his defense of Mastin, if has or him flips scum IGMEO the other one. They did a pretty good job distancing over that issue if that was their plan. 122 AtE, dislike. I also dislike how he clears sabre in 130. Moving on to a bit later in the game, I like that he calls out kill-kill along with Scott. I thought it was worth noting that only after Scott mentioned that Hohum had been MIA for a while that DTM made a similar remark. Joins the attack on Scott, I think he makes some valid points here, I wonder if we caught some scum hammering at each other with saber and peace.
Icanhascow?:
It was nice to see some activity out of that slot, I would've liked to see some defense other then 'just unvote me' but I don't see any defense against Mastin policy votes if you aren't Mastin.... He definitely keeps the pressure up on saber which I like and I agree with his wishy-washy statement about DTM, but I disagree with the reasons for voting Saber. I'm curious why he stayed completely away from the cain/peace discussion and only reappears when someone mentions saber again. He appears again to vote Hohum, but I honestly smelt lurking since he posted almost nothing for the last three pages. Has is correct about ongoing games.
Cain/peace: Cain was worse then useless, nuff said. I think his first vote was helpful at least and the rest was noobishness tbh. As soon as peace replaces in he immediately switches to the other bw, maybe it's self-preservation but I really don't like it. He immediately switches to Scott, better read after he drops the bw vote for some original scum-hunting. I was a bit confused why he didn't do a run-down of everyone, especially since he said he was reading the game in advance. He goes on the attack against Scott, but I felt like his attacks were a weak attempt at best.
Scott: Pops in every now and again with debatably useful posts. I lean more towards his posts being more useful then not, I see the points that he isn't scum-hunting super actively but he is a bar above many others. I like how he keeps the pressure on lumi to keep her posting and that he still kept on track with others that were lurking as well. Once cain is replaced my opinion goes downhill, I don't like why he went after peace and his sudden switch to saber was odd.
Zazie: His first scum list was really useless, with over half the players listed with no particular comments to explain why this was pretty useless. I understand his reasons for voting Saber, but I don't agree with all of them. I think that he was genuinely trying to prevent tunneling rather then stifling discussion. Zazie's walls promote scum-hunting, they're just a pain in the ass to read, so I don't understand saber's policy complaints here.
Kill-kill: Said he thought Cain was inexperienced, didn't really understand how this meshed with his later posts. Woah, another Kill-kill post like 6 pages later, seriously this is a lurker popping in to push the easy lynch on a newb, dislike. The argument he makes toward cain is pretty weak, he's like well I'm voting him because I think he's noob scum what makes you think he isn't? That isn't the way it works, if you're voting you need to justify it, we aren't supposed to justify not voting him to you. He likes Cow arbitrating an argument, so shouldn't he like saber for the same thing? He says Saber is the easy target, but no one is an easier target then the noob that isn't posting.
Saber: I liked how he kept the first page(s) from becoming a bloodbath and I felt that he handled himself well against Zazie's accusations. His OMGUS vote of Zazie however wasn't the greatest, even if he did point out a few things I agree with. Saber also tries to make something out of Zazie's list, Zazie could be misdirecting us to nik or w/e, it just isn't conclusive. Didn't understand how he got an FoS on nik out of his post about lurkers. AtE in 273, bleh. Don't like the fact he even mentioned considering ruining the game because he was mad that he was getting lynched, that's just shitty. Don't understand why he thinks Nik is so scummy in his analysis. Not sure how I feel about the peace vote, still don't get his nik suspicions, he raises some valid points about the catch up post but nothing that is incredibly anti-town. Saber is the second to jump on Hohum, picks up a few scum points here.
Scummy: Hohum, Saber, Kill-Kill, Peace, Toro
Neutral: Hascow, DTM, Nik
Town: Zazie, Scott
No read: ThAdmiral
