VOTE: lovelygiant
Yup, you caught me hard defending my scummate.
Please, BAG could easily talk themselves out of a lynch and wouldn't need a teammate's defense this early.
Your paranoia is concerning.
Taking exception to a naked vote is i've observed (including from my own instincts) as something that's more likely to come from scum. The italicised feel to me like something scum would say when accused with someone who isn't their partner. I recall
63 pinging me at the time also but I can't quite put my finger on it.
69 strengthens the early read - This post feels really weird to me. It's really out of place for the stage of the game. He received 2 votes on page 3 and offered to be lynched. It reads like it's made with the intention of being townread rather than being genuine. No townie should be offering to be lynched in place of someone else, especially not on page 3. Directing the vig so early is out of place, too.
He later claims this offer was made to an early IC read on BAG, which I found surprising. I certainly hadn't picked up on it. What I will say here, is that it's a lot easier for scum to pick on on power tells (noting also mocking people for not having picked up on it in
281,282). He also mentions planning to use it to clear himself ??? in
279...Which I don't think is a town mindset.
His other posting doesn't ping me but does nothing to redeem the scum feel in my eyes. I'm still feeling like this is our best chance of hitting scum today.
Having lovely as a scumread was also a factor in NM being higher on my list, as I think their interactions are probablyyyy not those of scum partners.
Considering who lovely may be scum with, I guess i'm thinking Kain>Nano/Mae. Kain-lovely is possibly not a plausible team, though. But I certainly haven't had that feeling to the extent that I have with a NM/lovely team.
On Mae, i've had town feels to some degree from his recent posting. Especially
343. It's difficult to shit content as scum when you're at L-1. I find it weird that Kain's reaction to it is definite scum, such stark disagreement is something I take a scumtell. There's also the fact the bomb hasn't gone off, meaning Mae isn't the bomber (i'm aware this is only a 50/50).
I'd also like to see Nino take some hard stances.
Smooth as silk when he's scum, and very much capable of running things from behind the scenes while appearing to be doing minimal effort. - Almost50
Xtoxm is consistently great - Shosin
you were the only wolf i townread at endgame - the worst
