Well, looks like Anthony is setting himself up as the obligatory D1 newbie policy lynch. Not that it needs to be said again, but his switch off Pesco and the subsequent reasoning were both bad. It's consistent with newbie kneejerk panicking, but it sure as heck doesn't make him look
more townie. Pretty much everything since then has just been him trying to make himself a less likely lynch, which of course doesn't make me less likely to consider him a viable lynch.
UncertainKitten's clearing of Anthony looks bad because there's really no reasoning behind it. If Anthony is town, then this move could be scum trying to get town cred by saying "I told you so" after his flip. Gut town reads are trash, and gut scum reads aren't much better. Nietz falls into the same fallacy.
The Anthony wagon sucks. It started in what looked a lot like a innocent newb mistake, he got proded for it and reacted pretty much like an innocent newb would.
How would you expect a guilty newb to react differently?
Suwako's flaunting of his lack of contribution is so flagrant that I can see why everyone's hoping it's a post restriction. We'll have to see how it turns out. I also don't like Kilga looking like he's trying to put in the minimal effort possible, then handwaving it by claiming in 148 that he's usually right so he doesn't need to explain his thought process.
VgameT has a lot of words out there now, but most of them are just justifying his own actions along with a few pretty weak prods. There's a lack of solid opinions on other players' scumminess.
It's true that I haven't seriously voted for anyone, but that's how I play. I don't press people with votes, I press with questions, and leave the votes for people I would actually like to see lynched.
This is an anti-town way to play. You might be able to set your thoughts straight on who's scummy and who's not, and then help them get lynched at the end of the day, but it makes it much harder for others to follow your own opinions and get a read on you.
Alright, after my reread, I'm seeing Anthony acting just like Zengar did last game. Make an early faux pas, catch a little heat for it, do some waffling/random suspicion slinging, and then when prodded to place a vote, drop it on some weak throwaway case. If there's no distinguishing it from newbscum, it's probably newbscum.
##Vote: AnthonyVgameT is a close second for squriming around and doing everything but scumhunting. UncertainKitten and Nietz are probably tied for my terciary lynch due to gutclearing Anthony, which looks bad however he flips. I'll blanket cover the other cases by saying that none of them are good enough to earn my vote, nor bad enough to be scummy.
