Eh, I had some case where Affinity probably town-scanned me based on stuff that was said in the Adorable Mafia graveyard, but that was apparently IHNN and not me. I still think I'm probably his N1 clear based on him ignoring me for no apparent reason after ED1, for whatever that's worth coming from me. <_<
Anyway, thoughts on other players.
ShadowehAlready explained read. Doesn't look like she's trying to keep attention off of her, with weird moves like the Affinity gut vote and a general lack of appeasement. Seems more aggressive than reactionary, too, and I don't see her shooting Conq N1 when he had her down as super-town. Bugs me here and there but I guess it's not a scummy sort of bug and if she somehow is maf she's done a good job of abusing her own meta. Though even if she was doing that I'd expect her play here to be more like her scumplay from C7D. Oh wait.
BTDoesn't seem to fit into any scumteams. Consider the following:
BT / Dorian: BT obviously thinks scum can't mislynch the death miller D1 since he doesn't try pushing until other players do... so he lets Dorian do the pushing instead, for a wagon of 2 scum and 1 town when most other players don't want a NNR lynch? Buh? This is beyond stupid given that scum would need a counterwagon for BT at this point.
BT / rawr: D1, rawr has every reason to vote Affinity based on precedent, but swing votes the wagons toward BT anyway. Based on refuge in audacity sheeping, which makes rawr look awful if BT doesn't flip first. Sure, bussing is a thing, but in a BT / rawr / ? scumteam, the policy vig target is prooobably not the one doing the bussing, especially when he could easily push another case and D1 scum wagons tend to fall apart when not solid.
BT / Shadoweh: Shadoweh is town and if she were somehow scum then BT shouldn't be opening up D2 with a bus when his post was late enough in the day to see that nobody really wanted to lynch her. I guess that's not implausible, but again, I feel strongly enough about Shadoweh-town that I'm probably fucking this up if I'm wrong about it anyway.
I GUESS BT / rawr / IHNN could be maaaybe plausible if you want to push the basis that rawr is unpredictable and I'm overthinking bus votes like in adorbs maf? But even then, I haven't had a serious problem with BT's posts all game and his play has seemed mostly solid to me.
Though, while IHNN / BT don't have any strong dissociative tells, IHNN dismissing BT / Conq as town/town without any further thought makes me think he'd be telling the truth as scum based on his general level of scum play.
If I wanted to ask him for clarity about anything, it'd be why he never pushed IHNN after his initial contentpost on D2, and why he wanted to hammer Hero early without a claim.
rawrA comprehensive case on rawr can't really be made because he's done jack shit this game, but, well, he's done jack shit this game. Hasn't seemed to be paying attention either which is seriously rawr's #1 scumtell as far as I'm concerned. From play without flips alone he's probably scummier than IHNN.
Him fishing for whether Dormio gave out a gun or not (which town shouldn't care about) gives me IMP vibes, too.
IHNNAlready explained weird stuff about he and I having the same vanilla claim. IHNN strikes me as the sort of dude who would nitpick at that if he were town but he ignored my action entirely??? Which is tbh more telling than us actually having the same action.
Aside from that, this made me want to lynch him after Shadoweh brought up scum not wanting Affinity to out his reads yesterday:
Guys, we aren't lynching Affinity today.
I dunno how much more blatant you can get. But even if Affinity wasn't the cop, IHNN was defending a lynch target without actually doing anything to move off the lynch. This is how scum buddies mislynch wagons. It's especially weird since Affinity had found IHNN scummy all day but that didn't unnerve IHNN about Affinity at all.
Rest of his play isn't really impressive; I honestly thought it leaned newb!town compared to the rest of the useless fucks in the game but he actually has done scummy shit with flips in mind and I'd lynch him on PoE plus his effortless white knight end-of-D2 post alone. Also his reaction to BT's vote is lmao not a town LYLO post. I'm fine lynching this.
DorianMisc. scummy shit:
D2 - Goes from thinking Shadoweh mildly suspicious at start of day with no comment on Hero to having a vote on Hero's wagon while saying nothing about the booming Shadoweh wagon at the end of the day. ???????
What's actually bugging me a lot:
Okay, so town vigs like shooting their #1 scumreads, that's understandable.
Except Dorian gunned for the lynch of Hero who arguably deserved a vig more immediately after the shot, with no consideration of even shooting a scummy-inactive weak player before the vig. Hell, there wasn't even any mention of Hero until after NNR bit it. It's like he was aiming for one easy kill followed by another. Especially bugs me given the above Shadoweh disconnect.
I have to ask Dorian: what could NNR have really said that would have made you feel better about him? You asked for last reads and a claim, but you seemed intent on killing NNR regardless.
If scum!Dorian just shoots NNR, it's easy for him to justify from town!Dorian's PoV, gives town WIFOM in the form of a death miller flip, and given that Dorian would prooooobably be buddies with one of rawr / IHNN, prevents him from drawing attention to how he shot the weak player that wasn't his buddy, etc.
This is basically one way I see scum handling a dayvig. Compare Dormio shooting Dan over PX in IMP.
