Kanon here. Going to be gone all day again (though will be back in the late evening, and hopefully should be around somewhat more often from that point onwards), so getting this post out now. My other half should still be around to post today, if any questions need immediate answering. Anyway.
First off, answers to Miyako's questions, or at least the ones that might actually still be relevant (there are others that were just silly and what I'm going to chalk up to Miyako being Miyako (i.e. painfully stubborn for no clear reason whatsoever.)):
I actually did start out this reread assuming that Razeluxe Meitzen was likely scum, based on his stunningly
wonderful (read: godawfully terrible) play at the end of D3, but going back through his posts they are on the whole not only surprisingly reasonable, but I actually find myself agreeing with a lot of them during both D1 and D2 (yes, even including his accusation of my other half as scum. It was not the best case in the world, but those posts certainly
were far too wordy in a bad way. Admittedly, this was due to RL factors that are now thankfully resolved) - his claim about voting for the person you consider the scummiest irrespective of the actual trains around is something that both myself and Shannon certainly can agree with, and quite honestly, trying to pin people as scum because they're not around all the time is aggravating to no end (speaking as someone that has a tendency to not always be around himself, due to various circumstances, both online and IRL, mostly due to scheduling/whatnot).
Anyway, he then goes into
what the flying fuck, dude? mode near the end of D3. Apart from posting little (though that is a charge that can be applied to many of us, so it is somewhat excusable, especially considering that Touhou 12.8 ~ Great Fairy Wars came out around the time of D3), his post before the end of the day... it just doesn't fit. Every other one of his posts is reasonable, and considers various rational arguments for townieness/scumminess, and always emphasizes scumhunting over information, and the like, and then out of nowhere he tries to claim that I am scum in need of lynching due to... a role speculation argument. About a role
someone else *might* have (it's certainly not a certainty, unless there's something you're not telling us), and used on me that... doesn't do anything that's blatantly scummy to begin with, really, anyway. It's just so, so
BAD and so out-of-nowhere compared to all the rest of his posts that nothing makes sense about it.
So in the end I'm actually going to consider him as town based off of everything else, because that last post doesn't even make him more likely to be scum as more likely to be clinically schizophrenic or something. Seriously, I'd love an explanation behind why you thought that line of reasoning made any sense at all, and also why you avoided commenting on the Sandor/Saki mess for almost the entirety of the day (admittedly, he did state that he was quite comfortable with a Sandor lynch and was planning to do so in the immediate future if needed, but I'm still curious on what he thinks of the role-related rigmarole, since he seems to like doing that as of very recently
).
To answer Razeluxe, Miyako, and everyone else who keeps asking why I think that Shoe's actions don't imply her being likely to be scum: it's due to meta. I know who is playing that account. In fact, it's practically
painfully obvious as to who is playing behind that account if you've spent any time here playing in MoTK Mafia games or even just reading them, so I'm amazed that some people can't figure out who Unlimited Rage Works is. Oh well.
John McClane is just "what", and also fairly low in content, and also tried to get people away from voting Sandor D3, which is certainly worrying. Will have to reread him when I have more actual time, grumble. Not sure what I make of Evangeline A.K. McDowell, or Mr.Mason, for that matter, at this point. I think that both Saki and Sailor Moon are likely to be town, though that can still change based on their actions today. Anyone I didn't mention I either still haven't gotten a read on, or haven't had time to properly reread their posts and think about what their alignment could be, based off of their actions, yet.
