So it looks like a lot of the people I actually want to push - IAI, Scorpious, and to a much lesser extent LUV - are inactive/busy/replacing out/whatever. :/ Io has already explained what I find sketchy about IAI, more or less; the only thing I have to add to
204 is that
116 pings me for putting off a question he has for later so it comes across as more of a threat than an attempt to get a read. That said, rereading his posts, my suspicions are weaker than I remember them being.
Scorpious feels scummy to me I think because of his aggressive tone. I'll have to read some of his other games to see whether he's always like this, but there's some stuff that reads to me more like discrediting than trying to push someone as scum or read them. Notably
266 calls the wagon on Steel scum-motivated but there's not really any follow-up to that? Looking back, I guess he's been busy after that, so maybe he just hasn't had time, I dunno. There's also too much theory-talk for how much he's said, IMO, but that could be style, too.
@Scorpious: Can you look closer at the Steel wagon and tell me which votes/pushes/posts in particular you're reading as scum-motivated?
I guess if LUV is replacing out this doesn't matter as much, but he just hasn't said much relevant to the game at all, sorta what everyone else is already saying. This read is significantly weaker than the others, as I said.
I'm having a really hard time reading the whole Vedith/Carcalilly/Mario thing. Like, there's a lot of joking around and it's really hard for me to tell when they're joking and when they're being serious. It looks like some serious stuff has come up in the last few pages, and I'm tempted to just sheep my town reads and jump on Mario. Really, they're all null for me right now - I feel like they could get away with saying just about anything and then be like "lol, jk" afterwards, which really bothers me. But I've seen something resembling scumhunting from each of them which is why they're not in the same category as LUV. On the other hand, Vedith wouldn't actually expect anyone to believe stuff like the claim in
299, would he? I don't know whether this is town messing around, town legitimately going for reads, or scum looking useful. Or scum messing around, I guess. Sounds like he does this a lot and it's not particularly alignment-indicative? Can someone confirm this?
Anyway, I'll definitely look more into Vedith/Carcalilly/Mario after getting some sleep; I'm too tired to untangle it right now.
UNVOTE: for now.
Oh, also albans gets a town point for getting conversation started again.
