ISO on yabba/Q/MS slot:
yabba is posting decent content, which explains why I never put a vote on him. That plus the fact I had stronger suspicions towards others. I hate D1s.
ISO 29 yabba says "Sundy's one of those you just say "ah, yeah, seems Town" and just never bat an eye at. I went through the ISO and couldn't find as great an extent of uselessness from Sundy as I've found from Toasty."
All his D1 votes/suspicions are on townies (now confirmed ones + me). He spends all of D2 on TT.
Questions wagon on cj (started by me) and hates quick votes by DRK and TT on the cj wagon (as most of the players seem to).
ISO 35 he says, "@Sundy: Why are you still sitting on your ass? What's prohibiting you from making a vote?" which is followed 7 posts later by a Sundy vote on Zerofang (who yabba had been criticizing recently.
ISO 41...he says Sundy and TT could be buddys. Can't see it as too much of a negative to link (now confirmed) scum with a (now confirmed) townie.
ISO 50 = yabba requests replacement due to busy RL. Requests replacement in one other game (which he turns out to be town in).
I don't put any suspicions on yabba for replacing out. All his suspicions are on townies and the few times he mentions Sundy are not in any way incrimating.
Q ISO
....nothing said in 2 posts. Not sure why he replaced in. He stayed active in games where he flipped town/werewolf/town mason/TBD.
Null read on q's participation.
MS ISO
....18 posts.
ISO 2 - D3, No suspicions of note towards me and farside. Has this to say about Sundy, "-Sundry is lurky(harhar), but when he comes back into the game, posts pretty well- I'm null leaning scum right now on him."
ISO 3 - D4, He suspects }|{opa and TT but provides no real reasoning. Votes }|{opa.
Has a few posts in error. Makes several posts explaining his absences and defending against }|{opa's and my reads on him as scum.
Also of note...he has posted several times in other threads since stating he has yet to really read this game and that he needs to do a re-read.
Conclusion...I did not like MS's attempt to paint my ignoring of his bussing question (which I deemed as rhetorical and useless) as scummy. On that note...of course, bussing is always an option. His predecessors did not jump out at me as scummy. Of the three players in that slot...MS has given me most cause to suspect the slot.
ISO on Sundy...
ISO 4 - He says "I think DRK's analysis of Toast is wrong in #71" and places an FOS on me.
ISO 7,8,9 - He spends questioning me about my vote on }|{opa despite having made several observations on DRK. (Would he understand a vote on DRK better?)
ISO 18 - Says, "@Yabba: Why praytell is dodging questions not a scum tell?" I have no read on this.
ISO 19 - Calls Jakalope's vote on Yabba weird. Votes ZeroFang.
ISO 21 - Questions Zerofang about a perceived town read on me. (Not sure scum would raise questions about a town read from a townie on their scum partner...translation=I don't think they would which would coincide with the fact I am not)
ISO 22 - Gives his view on several players but does not mention DRK or yabba
Edit...he does question me on the fact he thought my arguements on DRK were more persuasive then my arguments on }|{opa...who I had voted earlier. Not sure he would try to persuade anyone (or me) to resconsider why I had voted }|{opa (a townie) instead of DRK. I do not think scum would push someone from a vote on town to their partner. Ie..I think this supports a case for DRK not being Sundy's partner.
ISO 34 - Quotes yabba and points out the fact that yabba is suspicious of TT and his 64 posts which seems odd given that yabba has only 42 posts. Doesn't follow this up with any hint of suspicion towards yabba. Proceeds to vote DRK.
ISO 35 - Calls DRK out on ignoring the pressure on him (or her?).
ISO 38 - He makes a valiant attempt to present a case on me and places a vote on me.
ISO 39 - Questions }|{opa regarding his [}|{opa's] vote on yabba. Adds a few quotes by me to ~support his vote on me.
ISO 40-43 -Spent in an exchange withg me/supporting his case on me.
ISO 45 - Self hammers.
In my defense...Sundy dedicated a large portion of D3 trying to build a wagon on me. This is on the heels of him having mentioned suspicions towards me throughout a large portion of the game. He also appears to be up for a DRK lynch as evidenced by him trying to persuade me (and perhaps others?) that my case on }|{opa was not as powerful as my suspicions towards DRK. This and the fact he had his vote on DRK for much of D2.
He barely ever mentions Yabba. Conclusion: I think Sundy's ISO supports the yabba/Q/MS slot as scum.
ISO on DRK/izak slot
...
Starts D1 pushing a wagon on Sundy.
ISO 9 - DRK calls out ani for "defending" Sundy. (Would scum call out someone for defending their [DRK's] scumbuddy? I think not.
ISO 12 - Makes a case on }|{opa and unvotes Sundy while voting }|{opa.
ISO 21 - Unvotes }|{opa and votes star(town).
ISO 27 - Places an admitted gut vote down on yabba.
ISO 28 - States s/he hass determined that Sundy and bv310 are scum and votes for Sundy. (Bussing? Perhaps it is MS but I'm not convinced). Vote remains on Sundy the rest of the day.
No real posts worth mentioning the rest of the game. No references to Sundy other than to comment on a gender question.
Conclusion...I really didn't care for DRK's game. Lot's of lurking and questionable votes. With the hindsight of most of the players' flips however I am inclined to think DRK is not paired with Sundy.
ISO on izak
...
ISO 3 - farside and I
could
be town on town.
ISO 5 - States strong feeling that scum could be yabba, TT or }|{opa.
ISO 6 - TT looking really scummy and DRK hass not done him [izak] any favors. This rings a bit scummy to me as distancing from one's predecessor.
ISO 9 - More DRK distancing.
ISO 11 - Requests decent case link for Sundy.
ISO 13 - Says,
"Sundy looks bad, the lurking and stuff, and he really hasn't contributed to the game in any helpful manner. I'd be up for lynching him if it comes to it."
"I really don't like havingfitz. Not in the same way as I think Sundy is scum, but more that many of the things he's said look like they could be from a scum mindset. It seems to me that he's saying a lot of things that I might say, if I were scum. It might mean nothing, but I've got a bad feeling about him."
"Sundy is the biggest scum here."
"VOTE: Sundy"
This puts Sundy at L-1 when he could have easily put me at L-2 (which would have had me in a tie with the Sundy wagon). Why put your partner on the brink of a lynch if you don't have to? If Sundy had avoided the D3 lynch yesterday would have been LYLO. The fact izak did not have a chance to confer with Sundy during the night (due to replacing in the same day Sundy died) makes me think this strong a bus from a ~newer player is unlikely.
ISO 20 - D4 begins and izak laments farside's NK. I hate when people do that.
ISO 27 - States belief that TT is Sundy's partner.
Post 29 - Tells MS that he [izak] does not have a town read on me.
Several posts with lots of drama and angst about hammering TT. Then hammers TT.
D5 - suspects both MS and I but appears to suspect me more.
Conclusion...I don't care for izak's posting either. Lamenting NK's, regretting that he has to hammer toast. No real suspicions provided towards toast that I can see. I really do not like izak's posts. Hammering just to keep the game going, etc. I really do not like this comment, "We're either about to win or go to LyLo, so see you all in the plausible tomorrow."
2izak - What made you so sure you would make it to tomorrow?
tl:dr:
I think both the izak and MS player slots deserve strong consideration as scum. I view comments made by both player slots to be fairly close in terms of suspicion. I think the balance is tipped (not as significantly as I would like) in one direction though when I look at Sundy's ISO, voting patterns, and NK speculation. I'll expand on the votes and NK's in a later post. Right now I maintain my suspicion that MS is the final scum. I'll post voting and NK thoughts in the next day or two and will wait until the two of you have had a chance to do decent assessments before I vote. If I was voting now though it would be on MS.
