I've only played one game with him before and I don't remember him being quite
this
excitable. I'm reading through the game he linked on the previous page right now though and trying to go through some other past games.
So far, I feel like his thoughts usually seem a little more... straight forward? I mean they're still rambly and a bit incoherent, but this game they seem to be just absolutely all over the place and less focused. Could be paranoid town, but I think I'm starting to lean more towards scum on him. It's just... ugh. Anyone else have past experience with GWS?
I don't typically have very well developed reads this early, but my gut says lovelygiant, Guy, Lowell, and n_n are town right now. Everyone else is null, with GWS being null lean scum.
I'll stop being lazy and ISO some people later.
Inconsistency with town strategy would be more telling to me. He was lynched in that game. Perhaps he changed his scum strategy to prevent getting lynched again and is overcompensating.
I took it to be to not discuss the whole thing. Anyways, it really has nothing to do with this game, so let's wait for the next player to fill in and judge them through their own posts.

It was about the lurker paranoia of Almost50. Nick just lurked till the end game and me and my mafia bretheron play took away the pressure from him , so he just lurked and lurked and lurked and lurked and won...

thats why Almost is telling that thing.
I'm asking about Gale. Fake hasn't had lurker paranoia--he even said he likes to lynch people who want to policy lynch lurkers.
I've read and caught up, though there seems to be a lot of irrelevant noise so far.
Guy is much more likable outside of RVS. Lowell too. I think I got all Bitter Betty about their earlier posts for little reason. I don't see the suspicion on BlueTrin so far. Postie is null. Chilledtea seems town. Pista is null, but their posts have lacked content (Postie too, in that regard.) I don't find FA very memorable so far, may need to ISO them. The terminator/n_n slot is probably town. I've rarely seen mafia drop out, at least compared to VT slots. My vote on GWS stays, and while I can see them being overly paranoid town, I don't have a scummier lead yet. Almost50 is null but seems decently town-motivated. Dierfire reads as pure town (so far).
Most of these are gut/tone reads based on what I've seen. It's just where I stand for now and will probably change a lot.
I'll be back with some questions to help keep circulation pumping. I'll also field any you have for me, as I'm too lazy to go back and check for any I missed.

I dislike Postie for asking about the point of the question before answering, and the way in which she asked. Showed her hand too quickly if she was really trying to reaction test, and ironically it comes off as if she's making a show of scumhunting in that whole exchange.
, :)
Could you weigh in on a few things that has happened though?
This game is suffering from a lack of activity, and Lowell calls me out on being active, why do you guys think that it is not scummy is beyond me. *sigh*
Being correctly id'd as scum sure is annoying when you're trying harder than the town huh?
More seriously, I find you a little slimy for how self-aware/overly explanatory you are about certain things. e.g.
I actually found this post to be insightful. Almost50's immediate shutdown of this player was interesting, too. Combined with their self-lynch, they have been a strange player this game. Scratch my "town motivation" comment about Almost. I'd like a little explanation.
I think that chilledtea is more likely to be Town. His 158 seems like a naturally evolving thought process (not scripted).
I like BlueTrin for Town as already mentioned. Therefore, if I were to vote for someone on the chilledtea wagon, it would be Creature.
I do still think that Gale is Town. I do not have any good reads on those on his wagon, which is concerning and will be my next priority to fix.
I am not moved to vote for any of the players on Gale's wagon (pistachi0n, Lowell, lovelygiant).
I thought that I would have a good idea of what signs would indicate that lovelygiant was Mafia, and I haven't seen any, so I guess that this is a Town read (to the extent that I'm confident in the accuracy of my prediction).
The others haven't done anything that I find particularly suspicious, either.
Any chance you could explain these two things in a bit more detail?
I am almost always suspicious of people voting for the most paranoid/weird/difficult to read guy and also giving a reason for it (that is not something to do with the paranoia or so). To me it seems opportunist.
Dierfire's reads match mine especially regarding gale.

Yes, I think I would be OK with a creature lynch personally. He wanted to share his thoughts sometime back but for some reason my lack of activity created a block for him from expressing himself. I thought it was his way of getting away by lurking a bit more.
