lovebird - I thought the same as transcend w.r.t. lovebird's post 23 and even the second sentence felt off to me, not just the association. I think lovebird talking about the policy lynch like that is something scum has a slightly higher probability of doing than normal to seem town -- so in combo with the association I was on the same page. But I did think 38 was actually pretty insightful around the way the bird comment implied they're probably not buddies so meh. I'm not strong either way on lovebird right now. (as I'm typing this, don't love lovebird answering for transcend). I don't understand the texcat scumread either. Explain it.
transcend - I always hate reading transcend early, but it felt sorta towny to me by pushing that though with *actual reasoning* (I even think admitting he actually had reasons sorta felt town to me), then admitting he was wrong with the misread but still keeping the tone part. I've seen scum clam up when provided with counter-evidence on a read and just sort of drop it, but transcend actually didn't do that completely because of the tone still feeling off. I'm still curious about transcend's reasoning for the day/pregame talk stuff, but I have a town lean here when I hate reading transcend this early. Pedit: thx -- does the answer to 44 change anything for you? Guessing not by the lovebird vote
mulch - feels agreeable, but off as well. Like 40 doesn't even really make sense with the "calm down" because nobody was freaking out. I know several scum on this site that like to smooth out TvTs (notscience is one that comes to mind off the bat, and nachomamma too) so it feels a bit like a scum move. Also, I really don't these two things make sense together:

I’m fairly concerned that your voting them off of something that at its surface is scummy but it’s really not
Maybe we just are anti- mindmelding
Like, gut towny vibes as if they know lovebird is town, but then saying in retrospect that honestly it does look suspicious makes me think Mulch knows lovebird is town but then reading it again it actually could look suspicious. There's also the possibility of mulch/lovebird buddies and maybe it's actually a scum slip in a away where mulch just threw out a blanket townread on lovebird to do so, then re-read it and is telling his buddy it actually does look suspicious. Either way, I really don't like that progression from mulch, and in combo with 40 I'm definitely leaning scum on mulch, which I hate doing because I hate misreading my friends as scum if they're town.In post 35, Mulch wrote:How about this
Lovebird can you explain why you made that association
Because tbh it does look a tad suspicious
rb - is really obviously town to me. I thought the exact same with brassherald and 67 on why. I hope "come in me" was an autocorrect
brassherald - not only did I agree with rb, but I also think the line asking Kokichi if the transcend vote was RVS was just kinda thrown out there to "do something" when there's already plenty of stuff that's happened by post 65, so why focus on that? He follows it up by saying RVS was done, but then gives no thoughts on the game other than his asking Kokichi that Q but digging into NOTHING else. I call BS
jodaxq - going to reserve too much judgement on post 97, but 97 posts didn't feel like that much to me, but I'm also a hyper poster who can sift through this stuff easily.
ane - I'm going to struggle with their posting style and I'll meta-dive the not reading the rules stuff when I have more time. Also I know I come across as hypocritical given I'm sorta wall-posting here, but it's the quote note quote note style that I struggle with. Nothing against ane either, just me being more a hyper poster style.
don't have any strong feelings elsewhere right now.
