The other posts contain nothing of value either.
No reads.
Not a single mention of whether or not I, his big case that he's had for the majority of the game, am still scum to him or not.
Just ambiguity and defending himself.
My entire state of mind contained nothing of value either last night. I already failed at the task of simple observation several times over, so building a case that made any sort of coherent sense was even more out of the question than it usually is for me.
You want to know what I think? I'll tell you. I might not scour the thread for why I think what I do yet, but dang it I am not going to sit idly by and let you guys lynch a townie just because I'm not used to this type of game yet.
Paladin is becoming increasingly suspicious in my eyes. If I wasn't already suspicious of Kilga and Dormio I'd be entirely suspicious of him. In fact, by this point, I'm willing to put aside my doubts about them, because Dormio's recent posts about Paladin have been spot-on. On top of that he's basically seemed to waver while supporting both of the major wagons over the past two days, and I can tell he's preparing to do the same today. In fact, it seems like he beat me to bringing up that particular point:
I panicked before I went to work when I saw two votes for me and thought that everybody else would arbitrarily vote for me while I was away from the computer for a few hours. So I voted Cheez8 because it seemed like the most credible wagon to save my selfish neck.
Voting for an easy wagon while leaving himself an opportunity to bail yet again if he feels like switching stances or going with the "I knew we shouldn't have lynched them!" route. On top of
that I'm starting to suspect that the reason I haven't been able to get a good read on him earlier in the game was because many of his posts either didn't say anything constructive, said constructive things that other people all said first, or said things that only would have been constructive if they made sense.
That leaves me at a bit of a loss concerning my scumreads though. If Paladin is scum, Dormio probably isn't, and Kilga probably isn't either, which means I'd have to overturn a lot of my thinking so far.
I'm still not convinced on Darkie. The nagging possibility that he's scum has been bothering me for a while, and even if he is town, I can't glean anything useful from his posts. It would be bad to mislynch a rolecop but the way things are going I'm doubting whether or not he's going to receive any results this game anyway, so it's not as big of a risk as I thought. I wouldn't be surprised no matter what alignment he ends up.
If Paladin is scum after all... I haven't given it much thought, but the first few scumteams that come to mind are either him, Mitsuki, and NNR, or him, Darkie, and Validon. If Dormio is scum after all, then I think the scumteam is him, Kilga, and either NNR or Mitsuki. There was some logic behind these choices but I can't be bothered to recall what it was at the moment.
Anyway there you go. You wanted opinions, I gave you opinions, and yes, I put absolutely no reasoning behind them since I'm lazy. You'll want reasoning next, and that'll come later. Right now, I know that this is what I believe. In fact, here's a vote for you too.
##Vote: Sky_PaladinLooking back through this post, I'm beginning to worry about whether I have the proper idea of what a read is, but not very much.
