Prawneater – Really? #155? Lyserg is the only one you have a read on when West, Ari, Cheet, and Orcinus have talked just as much? I’d say scum but that post was so obviously scummy that it couldn’t be true, it’s hiding in plain sight if it is.
VysePresident – Hasn’t said a lot, but wagoned on Lyserg’s Ari vote; seems like possible Vyse/Lyserg scum team. Lyserg’s somewhat hostile tone in post #44 seems like scum distancing.
West9 – Forgot to mention me when giving the backstory on everyone from D2. Obviously scum. (The fact that I changed my name is irrelevant.) Ari/Metal scumteam was, for some reason, a very striking thought; I don’t know why but I never would have thought of that.
My strongest scumread right now is Orcinus, so I'm going to go with that even though he's nowhere near a lynch, and will change my mind if I'm convinced Ari is scum.

Two I thought? Doesn’t matter, still a noob.

3) i have no clue what a lot of peopel here are saying. Lal's posts don't make sense to me and I hope that I don't have to explain why.
Humor me.

Also, asking for background on people who know each other IRL seemed odd to me, knowing everyone’s meta isn’t really that helpful when people can just lie about other people’s meta and their history in games together.
you are suggesting to me that when i post "hey tell me about your meta" to 8-odd people that they will all lie to me? wouldn't we just lynch the people who are lying? what?
No, not all. Some. One, perhaps. Which would make it, in my book, a less-than-helpful trick. I don’t trust any answers I get from direct lines of questioning, it’s more about how the question is answered than about the answer itself; in this way, a question like this could be helpful, I suppose. It’s just not something I would have done, I saw no point in it. I said it seemed odd, not scummy – my scumlean on you was due to other factors which were outlined in my original post.

Here goes.
Acryon – gains town points for wanting to avoid a quickhammer, and his posts have a general, overall towny feel to them, particularly his responses to my posts. Playing cautiously, does a lot of analysis and asking other people what they think, posing questions, etc. Hasn’t put out a whole lot of his own opinions yet. Taking a sort of Sophocles approach.
Ari – as Acryon pointed out in 181, there is something off about his play in this game. The “I posted a vote on metal just to see what would happen because I didn’t have time for a real post” could be legit, but doesn’t ring true. When he finally came back to the game after being away for a bit, he tunneled in on me, West and Metal, without really saying anything about anyone else until later. That could have just been because he was pressed for time. The stuff West said wasn’t particularly vague, so his point about me leaving a scumtrail also didn’t ring true. Seems like he’s just picking out parts of my meta that will implicate me in this, to plant the seed of doubt with everyone, without creating any real solid tie-ins. Also this:
In post 196, Aristophanes wrote:As for the New Years thing, yeah, I remembered that conversation and was somewhat wary of quicklynching when I came into D1. I wanted to test the waters with this crowd though regardless.
In post 199, Aristophanes wrote:It was a fun time! I have no clue if there was something significant I was supposed to remember though...
Reconcile these two statements, if you can.
Lyserg – Starting to lean more town. His explanation of his scumhunting technique in post 204 was pretty well-thought-out, and therefore struck me as genuine. The rest of what he says is mostly questions directed at other people, so that’s all I really have atm.
Orcinus – Hasn’t posted much, but never answered my question about why he considers Metal an easy lynch. I understand he’s prod-dodging but I’m still not a huge fan of the bare-bones posts and snarky comments, need more meat here to really make an assessment. Would also like to hear an explanation of his “super-fency” assessment of me.
Prawneater – Hasn’t said jack shit so my scumlean hasn’t changed.
Vyse – Waiting to hear what he has to say later.
People need to talk more T-T
