Finally reached day one hammer.
Also, Zakeri, if you're still here.
I was just about to get to that.
I did my usual thing of looking indepth all the people on the wagon (and Schezo since I had thought he moved from Raikaria to CF7... I have a lot of questions but that's for the end of the post.)
BT and BBM both seem natural to me. I was incredibly suspicious of BT at first because I had to make a pressure vote on him, but he was an active participant in discussion and comments a lot. While he had trouble expressing scumreads directly, Nothing in any of his posts jumped out to me as scumreads.
Kilgamayan also reads like I would expect him to, and I agree with a lot of the insights he made at the times he made them. Basically, no reason to press anything, especially considering I'd have to press someone else for them.
NNR is a nullread because my litmus test for sounding townie doesn't work with his posting style.
My biggest beefs from the previous day are (fittingly enough given the past few posts) Dormio and CF7.
Now that I've actually read the cases he made, I have a few complaints
- The only three points he brought up against Raikaria were " I just remembered I already posted this which is why I can't find it in my notes.
To follow up, The Serela case was weak, full of i don't knows and maybes, with nothing to say about his alignment one way or the other. this becomes even more jarring when it comes after HW claims masons with Serela. I'm not sure about the timing but I can see scum intent in doing this, while following up with the claim that he's not accounting for HW's mason claim. It's basically a lot of padding put into being able to cost while having given a full reread.
unfortunately, what detracts from this is his later honesty when discard the case in favor of trusting HW on his word. There's also the CF7 case he made later which I didn't catch anything seemingly scummy in. These don't actually make me think he's town, but it does introduce reasonable doubt into the equation.
I actually agree with Dormio's recent point about the clear on CF7. I backed off and kept onto Dormio because I bought into the clear Conq gave for him, but if you look at his day one record in comparison ... he shows a lot of disinterest in keeping up with the game, and refers to how poor his role is multiple times. I feel like his willingness to sacrifice himself might not actually be based on his alignment at all, but rather his role and it's use to his alignment. if he was a vanilla goon, or if he was beneficial as dead mafia, it wouldn't be a stretch to have him give himself up for additional bussing credit (which would mean the rest of the mafia would be on his wagon if he's scum).
The disinterest in the game is clear from his lack of posting for most of the day, but also in that his first few votes were blanket suspicions on random people posting. I never got the impression that he was scumhunting, and any vote on Raikaria throughout the day was opportunistic (to the point where town seemed to repeatedly try to jump off of the Raikaria wagon)
I also want to bring back the Voting Rai as Serial Killer bit. Again, it's not really scumhunting. Whenever you vote someone and bring up the possibility that they are the SK, what you're really saying is that the person is either both scum and town or neither scum nor town. When asked to explain his reasoning, he actually mentions it's because he notices Raikaria was attempting to form a wagon on someone he thought was scum. The vote was poor because not only was it opportunistic, be he basically admitted that he was voting for Raikaria despite Raikaria being town.
Between these two, I feel less comfortable voting for Dormio because, again, there's some reasonable doubt regarding his actions on day one.
##Unvote: Dormio
##Vote: CF7Cut: By failsafe, I mean my failsafe for making absolutely certain I leave myself with nothing to focus on except for writing stories and mafia. I had originally planned to start reading before a long time before 4a.m.
