Mush
Spoiler:
This is a slot that didn't really pique my interest until recently and the general feeling I get from him is a presence that wants to be safe. Mush's posts are very generalized and aren't really that full of substance. The pushes he has made aren't very strong and there is a lack of conviction in his words. Mush spends a lot of time speaking of uncertainty or very loosely to the point where a lot of his posts feel incomplete. They're not explicitly hard to follow but it raises the question why some of them exist. A further example made is his #303 in which he chimed in about something but never had it go anywhere. I think that his push on LaLight is decent so I may retract these thoughts if Lalight is scum, and my read on Mush is more-so independent than anything.

MarioManiac4
Spoiler:
I don't really know where to start with Mario and I've been teetering about him for a while. I think he's been taking far too much time defending himself and the steps he's made after his whole debauchery about votes isn't impressive. I mentioned to Sheep how I felt it was losing it's charm but what's more impressive is how willing Mario was to drop it completely. Granted, people try different things all the time in order illicit responses, but why spend all that time building yourself as a proprietor of voting if it wasn't going to go anywhere in terms of scumhunting? There was seemingly no point to it all and I have retracted my feeling on early interaction because of this. I think Mario felt convicted to double-down but then dropped it because he started to get suspicion because of it, which doesn't look good. This is furthered by a generally confusing priority from him such as #368 where he votes lalight and says he doesn't have many scumreads, and then hops off based on a single response from LaLight in #372. This doesn't make sense to me because in #146, he had LaLight as his strongest scumread and seemed to have enough to put players in brackets, though there isn't much to show as far why they are in there. Even now, Mario doesn't make a lot of sense to me and his explanations in #439 have a lot left to be desired, as I don't believe how long he continued to rant about votes was merely for RVS purposes, given he was still doing it by the time I would consider it over with.

Cooperative Sheep
Spoiler:
At a first glance, there's a lot to like about this slot, though I don't know if it's good enough. CooperativeSheep seems reasonable in one regard yet also has a certain vibe in his posts that bother me. Based on purely on what he's done, he spends a lot of time talking
at
people instead of talking with
them, which isn't something I'm too impressed by. I don't think his reasoning on Ingeel was all that great and I am generally cautious of posts like #206 where sheep signals to vote with him without doing the dirty work, if that makes sense. Overall it feels like he is taking a bystander position instead of getting fully involved, and I'm not going to count his interaction with TwoFace because I thought it wasn't beneficial. I need to see more grit from this slot.4.
Mulch
Spoiler:
Oddly enough, I don't have much to say about Mulch that hasn't already been said. I think he's a very eager town who isn't afraid to make stances even if it could invoke criticism, which I like. I believe that scum right now in the chance of LaLight being town would be more favored to push his slot given it hasn't been very strong and has been generating a lot of controversy, but instead Mulch continues to do his own thing and is very genuine about his stances. I agree with Mush's assumption about him in full.
5.
LaLight
Spoiler:
This is a slot that I'm very interested in pushing as I believe he has a lot of connections to him. I originally liked his first impressions but they've faded over time. LaLight's recent postings come off as uppity and quick to jump to conclusions, and not really getting involved. I think that his #348 is especially telling in this sense because I don't believe that LaLight would come after his own partner in the fashion he did. This is the second reason why I am advocating his lynch at this point, as it would clear up Mush more in my head; I don't think Mush/LaLight are a team.

iDanyBoy
Spoiler:
I'm not really paying attention to this slot tbh. I feel like this is someone that will make their alignment evident over time and will spend most of the day playing catch-up and twenty questions, and for that reason I don't believe he's a good push as of now. I'd have to say if I put him on a town-scum scale he'd definitely be the most in the middle as I want to give him a chance to get his footing.

Alisae/TrueGent
Spoiler:
This is again another slot that hasn't really tickled my priorities, though I do like the Mario pressure just for common interests. I'd like to see what he thinks about LaLight and other slots in more detail before I decide where to put him, but right now I can't see him being a lynch possibility nor someone I want gone.

Ingeel
[/color]Spoiler:
Everything I've said about this slot I still hold to. I think this is a very easy slot to push and I feel a lot of the people coming at him are opportunistic just in the fact he has time constraints. Even when I present alternatives, people are really focused on the fact he has no scum-reads, but at the least he has attempted to get himself out there. I hold him to the same standard of others and I won't take inactivity lack of progress of reads for much longer, but I do not think he is the play today.

Syndesis
Spoiler:
This is again a slot I feel will resolve itself over time, so my comments are very limited. I don't know how to feel about her saying that nothing is sticking, but perhaps that will change eventually. Nothing worthwhile to say.
I think that summarizes everything. Right now I am willing to work with Mush on lynching LaLight, however I do forewarn him that I will likely come for his head in the event that he's town.
Vote: LaLight
If you want something further explained, ask me.
