I did
not
say that, Anti. Shows how well you listen to me.
I said I have concerns about that slot:
I was already scum reading the
previous occupant of the slot, Nobody Special
. His early posts struck me the same way they struck Antihero, summarized by:
Post 151,
Post 154, and
Post 413.
Leaving Maxous out of the nightkill analysis
. There's a couple possible reasons for the asymmetrical nightkill analysis Lickety's been engaged in. The more generous interpretation of this is that he's simply lost on the Maxous kill and therefore ignores it. I got a similar take-away message from
Post 849. There's some things wrong with this viewpoint. There've been enough people expressing a town read on Maxous so the kill is very far from untraceable. A more paranoid, and more believable, interpretation is that he's hunting for ika's killer because he already knows full well who killed Maxous and tracking down ika's killer is a lot higher priority of his. What makes this worse is that he apparently thinks there's an SK (
Post 982). This leads to believe the night kill speculation is really disguised SK-hunting.
The way he voted Vedith the first time around
. This is in
Post 756. I don't fault him for actually voting Vedith when Antihero asked him to but the accompanying explanation really freaks me out because it's so stilted. The justification feels over-explained and there's this odd favoring of the general ("universally Town read player") over the specific that leads to a weird cognitive disconnect between the reads and vote. It would've felt more natural if he said
he specifically
was town reading us. Antihero picked up on this in
Post 757 and said something. Lickety's joke-y, sarcastic reaction to him in
Post 756 exacerbates my concern.
A few scattered things here and there that didn't deserve their own bullet point
: using OMGUS as a buzzword to push a scum read (
Post 738), saying he'll do a Performer reread in
Post 809 and not following through, and scum reading a soft target while attaching an unnecessary qualifier (
Post 867).
