Trying to squeeze in some quick rereads of some players, whilst baby is bouncing in a chair.
wam:
Spoiler (Show/Hide)
D1
Post 1: Confirmation
Post 2: Confirmation not needed; interesting; warning claiming info might end badly
Post 3: Worst suspicious for voting for day end; knowledge suggests worst is scum; votes wam.
Post 4: Switches vote to Madge for sussing worst
Post 5: Ebwop
Post 6: Restates thoughts on worst in response to BF
Post 7: Corrects the worst
Post 8: Suggests hammering the mod
Post 9: Thinks worst likely scum; mod vote not serious
Post 10: explains attempt at humour
Post 11: Switches vote back to the worst
Post 12: Asks the worst how he knows about N1 issue
Post 13: Asks how knows elimming Madge doesn't count
Post 14: Clarifies earlier comment
Post 15: Pings in response to my post
Post 16: My appearance puzzling; implies can hammer Madge; votes Madge
Post 17: Corrects Madge re. voting twice
Day 2:
Post 1: Back. Welcomes heury.
Post 2: Claims EOD vote was wrong with him voting Madge
Post 3: Thinks Madge set up D1 so not really D1, based on how much she hates D1.
Post 4: Sabrar "dying" N1 explanation for previous post.
Post 5: Work manic; back tomorrow
Post 6: Back, going through questions
Post 7: Forgot voted Madge; claims neighbours with the Worst
Post 8: Head not back in the game yet
Post 9: bessie and somi hitting meta; bessie less tunnelly
Post 10: L-1 asks no hammer
Post 11: Doesn't understand heat on me. Pizzazz win claim real reason for voting Madge - certain captain needs to survive to end game; knew voting Madge was safe! Ordered list - town: worst too open and honest, me trying to solve; somi normal play; BF gut town; bessie gut scum; heury claim is odd and scummy, votes heury.
Post 12: why trust result due to setup; worst might be insane or BF godfather.
Post 13: will be back before deadline
There are a few things that strike me about wam:
1) his substance is light compared to what I would expect of him, even accounting for his absence for the first part of D2.
2) his flip-flopping on Madge. I feel like his justification for it is weak, given in that case, why didn't he stick with it throughout D1. I also find it odd that he managed to forget he switched to Madge given his claim.
As already indicated, I don't believe wam is cleared by the worst's fake claim from the chat. My reread hasn't done anything to dispel my scummy feeling of him,
@wam - if you were trying to avoid elimming a specific character, why did you keep coming back to The Worst D1? Also, what's different about D2 in this sense?
The worst:
Spoiler (Show/Hide)
D1
Post 1: Confirms, votes no elim, claims if elim D1, scum team get two NKs N1. Jokes with wam.
Post 2: Ends day request. Wants to find scum before hammering.
Post 3: wam town
Post 4: comments on Madge sassing him.
Post 5: chat with Madge - perfect and never made a mistake
Post 6: voting anything other than no elim gives game away to scum. Will find scum today. Doesn't think anyone else is going to vote day end, so his vote signal booster only. Asks BF why voting town (wam).
Post 7: Username is inside joke. Evidence of how hard to read him, see previous game.
Post 8: Madge gotta try harder to confuse him.
Post 9: Would vote BF, but no elim more useful.
Post 10: Votes Madge, willing to gamble on it, better off without her.
Post 11: Not budging, continues to defend reason. Has Madge/Sabrar confirmed scum; BF/bessie scummiest, wam/somi towniest.
Post 12: Advocates Madge lim.
Post 13: Will run out of energy.
Post 14: Explains how knows about N1 issue to wam. Willing to gamble on Madge elim not counting.
D2
Post 1: Welcomes heury. Asks somi if he received an extra PM.
Post 2: Explains gets to send cop result, but result inverted. Claimed full cop to wam overnight, wam probably town.
Post 3: wam/me possible team "finessed" by mod
Post 4: Has BF towniest; bessie/wam likely has 1 scum
Post 5: Made up 2x kill thing. Claims third party winning on no elim or no kill. Doesn't think alternating SKs likely.
Post 6: Asks wam why he thinks Madge set up D1 as D0.
Post 7: Somitomi fair to be paranoid about result. Doing whatever can to get their win. NOt sure how winning multiple times works.
Post 8: Thanks BF for gift. Has loose idea where to fire gift. Madge + Sabrar flipping didn't help. Votes bessie, thinks scum there, but happy for no lim.
Post 9: Was hoping Madge lim would work. Probably me/bessie.
Post 10: Can't stop Madge if we tried.
Post 11: Doesn't case. Explains bessie read - trying to disprove them having an innocent result.
Post 12: Scum would have shot claimed alignment cop before they got to act.
Post 13: Thought Sabrar was kill. Doesn't know why scum would shoot Sabrar. Asks who I think they shot, and why I'm asking. Doesn't recognise militant atheist role. somitomi confusion/paranoia makes sense as town. Bessie seems opportunistic.
Post 14: Restates neutral claim. Less sure on wam being non-group scum after Sabrar N1 dying meme - kind nullish. Somi towny.
Post 15: Thinks I decided I disliked his answer before he answered. Trusts me to check bias. Motivated by finding scum than anything else. Thinks I'm not trying to read him.
Post 16: wam should weigh in on things; being unhelpful.
Post 17: Asks somi why he's voting him, with follow up questions and things to consider. Thinks understands paranoia; didn't know whether to trust somi or not; wants further reasoning from him. Doesn't know how to get through to bessie; thinks she's looking for elims, not scum.
Post 18: Asks wam for take on somi and bessie.
Post 19: Checked and aligned with town. Would have played D1 differently otherwise. Votes wam.
Post 20: Finds funny cleared each other (with BF).
Post 21: Always wishes were scum.
The worst's behaviour does all line up with someone who misread their win con somehow, so I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt around that. Given that, I don't actually see anything really objectionable in their content. That's not to say I'm clearing them completely, but I'm willing to say they're reasonably towny.
@the worst, you seem to have changed your mind on me? Is there any particular reason? Also, could you explain a bit more why you think alternating SK is unlikely?
Also, what do you think of wam's D1 claim that claiming information from the spreadsheet is likely bad?
Running out of time for today. Will post this and maybe start on someone else, if I have time. Should be able to post a vote before deadline in my morning.
This is probably risking drawing the wrath of various people for fishing, but my ability is significantly more useful if I know whether my target's colour is a warm or cool colour. I understand wam's claim earlier might put people off or people may be naturally reticent to claim, but anybody willing to claim whether they have a warm or cool colour would be of great benefit.
