Steel and Lady tiers make up the "null" region.
Why is Fuzzy Town?
Why is fitz Scum?
I got a "too clunky/bad to be scum" feel on Fuzzy early on and I haven't seen a reason to think otherwise since. I haven't seen any great reads or anything else that stands out that makes me feel super confident about that read, which is why he's not in the top tier, but in my judgement his bumbling-but-not-in-an-ingratiating-way play is more likely to come from town than scum. A good example of what I'm talking about is
Post 561. It seems like the really obvious thing for Fuzzy!scum to do here is shut the fuck up on roll over for the claim, why poke the beehive by bringing up something as out-there as scum vig? The only way that makes sense is if Scorpius is actually a scum vig but I'm not really entertaining that right now.
There were a couple posts from Fitz that pinged me. The first was
Post 330 which I read as a filler-y "here's something that looks like an opinion to fill space" post mostly because I can't figure out a reason why the grab ass "mason" claiming at the beginning was particularly bothersome. The post that really bugged me was the most recent,
Post 534. Fitz obviously spent time thinking about this issue of how to deal with a revealed neighborhood, so it's striking to me that he came to the really anti-town conclusion to just brush it off. The mod confirming the alignment of three people is a pretty big boon for town. Why would you throw that away by lynching in the neighborhood? It's a pretty cut and dry deal but I feel like Fitz was trying to add "wifom...fog..." to it by labeling it as such.
