I will be going through the three lynch candidates' ISO's and will condense my thoughts about them into one post for each.
40,
51 etc - I didn't like the early townread for Cy, nor the reasoning for it. I'm wondering if LaserGuy still feels similarly about Cy?
167 - Shortly after saying so confidently Cy was Town, he then links him to being a possible scum partner with Zaraki. Gives me the feeling either LaserGuy decided he wants to keep his options open regarding Cy, or perhaps LaserGuy could be Zaraki's partner but wants others in the frame in case he's lynched. His Luca/Lucky theory is BS, and his point on Comm feels weird - he's posing a half-hearted question that he clearly has no intention of following up on. A lot of general, non-committal reads in this catch-up post in general which does nothing to inspire me.
214 - Explaining his Luca/Lucky theory. LaserGuy seems to disregard most of my posts up until this point, choosing instead to base a read on me solely on the Lucky interaction in such a reachy fashion. He says the debate wasn't genuine as we didn't follow up on Comm's catch-up post, but my issue was clearly with Lucky and never with Comm. It feels like a very lazy theory which he never really pursues fully or shows any sign of reconsidering. I feel like he uses this theory as a platform on which to sit throughout D1 so he doesn't have to take a hard stance on anyone else. Also, did LaserGuy follow up on his Comm question? No.
302 - He sometimes makes big wall posts like these that look busy, but really he's just asking passive question after passive question and not really doing a whole lot. Did he ever take that meta-dive on UCV as promised? There was no further mention of it. He quotes a couple of lines from me and Lucky which he says he doesn't believe (no reasoning given) to keep up the Luca/Lucky scumteam narrative. He votes Lucky based on f*ck all. I feel like his ongoing attack on Lucky/me could be a chainsaw defence of UCV.
307 - He changes his argument about me/Lucky here - he initally said he thought we were scumbuddies because we were arguing about Comm but then didn't follow up on Comm's catch-up post, meaning we weren't really interested in him. He's now saying he never thought I was bothered by Comm, but still thinks we're scum because we had a spurious argument.
426 - Tries to bait Athena into attacking me while saying he doesn't want to join the UCV wagon - I'm sure I don't need to explain why this looks bad. He also said he's happy with his vote where it is, even though, like I said at the time, his vote on Lucky was merely a vanity wagon that he seemed content just to sit on without purpose.
435 - An awkwardly-worded justification of not voting UCV. He's clearly defending UCV here, but at the same time leaving himself open to the option of bussing. His null read on UCV isn't natural at this point, given all the AI information UCV had provided. He criticises my case on UCV, but has no better to offer for his own lynch preference, Lucky.
452 - As I mentioned, this post pinged me because he's scumreading me yet withholds his reasons because he knows UCV will soon be lynched, which he admits would make me almost conf town. This is a resigned-looking post, where he is grudgingly coming to accept that he has to change his stance on me being scum. I feel like Town here would offer up their thoughts without being so aware of the potential upcoming lynch.
562 - Despite having a decent enough case on Impede, LaserGuy abandons it at the drop of a hat and jumps on the lurker wagon instead. Possible Impede/LaserGuy scumteam? Either way, a dubious move.
584 While on the surface LaserGuy appears to be making a valid point, why would we lynch a lurker when there are perfectly good lynch candidates available who have actual evidence against them? The lurker could become a good, pro-town player at some point, or he may not, but rushing such a lynch is ridiculous and scummy, in my opinion.
658 - LaserGuy votes Impede again after my question to him, but it doesn't feel like a lynch he really believes in as he had not mentioned Impede since
511, and his vote feels rather weak with the reasoning 'I prefer him to Zaraki'.
I feel no urgency to find scum in LaserGuy's play, and I feel he is likely to flip red.
