I guess I'll just put down my reads thus far; there's nothing else I feel I can add in right now.
I'm suspicious of Kilg, but not enough to say he's scum yet. I get the general gist of his thinking in his argument with Shalako, but I don't fully agree with it, particularly around his rebuttal to Rei-chan's first argument. Serela was doing the exact same thing with his fakeclaim last game, and while he seemed scummy throughout that game, the same logic applied there as with Rei-chan's apparent attention grab. Serela may have had crappy play that game, but the timing of his fakeclaim wasn't very scummy. It's a null point. Not to mention RP fluff. It was a decent point to at least start up conversation for ED1, but I just generally don't agree with it. Keeping an eye on Kilg for now.
Shalako's play thus far is much easier to read and understand than last game, so I'm feeling a bit more of a town vibe, if only for that much. Then again, he only really got difficult to read over when Rei-chan started up the wagon on him D2, so it's a moot point. Townlean for now, though.
I trust Rei-chan thus far. CF7 made a good analogy to reading a legal document, but I don't see any big problems with his logic as of yet. I'd rather have him hold the TC flag if we're to run on the current "player behaviour" logic we've ranted on. My only question though is why you've got a townread on me with what little information I've been able to bring to the table? It's as you said: mosty of what I've been doing is sheeping and reorganizing arguments, and I haven't put any new arguments out there as of yet. Heck, I'd argue that, up until this post and perhaps even including it, I've kept to a very passive style of play, which is more null as far as alignment goes.
Serela's laissez-faire attitude toward all this bothers me a bit. There's not a lot to run on from what he's been posting thus far, but I know last game, there was mention of him having a poor D1 meta. Hoping to see some improvement when D2 rolls around.
Raitaki's cool. I get his thinking, and while I've made my point on why popular opinion may not be a wise route to go, I feel I'm on the same wavelength on most every point he's presented beyond that, and my gut's giving me a townread thus far.
While I don't feel CF7's behaviour is as lackluster as Serela's, I do want to hear a bit more from him. Something that gives me a bit better an idea of who he thinks is scum beyond "one scum in the fight, one on the sidelines."
Dan, PLEASE POST AND GIVE US SOMETHING TO WORK WITH! Like, if you have some weird quote role that restricts your amount of participation, please quote this section of my message so we at least know that much, because I know your meta involves a lot of lurking, (which is irritating in itself) but it gives us nothing to work off of, and town suffers for it.
