Notes from re-read (up to page 20):
PJB
#175
#176
Felt these show that PJB may be town, this negates any accusations of him not doing anything. He came in without being called in at this time, to show his thoughts. At this time, the only thing serious was my wagon, and he felt I was town for it. I didn’t think there was anything else that was telling at that time.
Rockin
#202
#205
I think these signal that Rockin is town. He quickly jumps to voting Kary for not doing anything himself, while asking for more. While in doing so, he forgets that he should have waited for Circus to answer so he would not taint the purpose of Kary’s question. This shows that he acted in error due to emotional frustration, and I see it as genuine, and not scummy because he wasn’t trying to paint Kary as scummy, he was just irritated that Kary did that. I also think Rockin realizes that his playstyle and Kary’s are a bit different, and I also find that town.
Soup
He is still a bit confusing to me. Take a look at his
#158. He mentions the error of thinking that Swords was responding to Me, and not Kary. First off, I don’t see how that would change his accusation on Swords. Also notice that recently, J stated dislike of Soup due to his interaction with Swords, and Kuz voting Soup in agreeence with J. Also, Swords really debunked Soup’s reasoning for attacking him, and I feel this was more of a backtrack here. Now what I need to find is if Soup really had a reason to wait for Kuz after this back down.
Nabe asked me about Soup’s interaction with Bardull.
#177. Soup mentions his [Bardull’s] Entry post sucked, but never really gave an alignment tell to it. It was an easy way to phone in content to the thread. He did the same towards me on page 3, in
Post #97. Finally, Soup mentions that Bardull’s post comes off as if he is trying to seem townie and lay his obvtownie vote on me.
#179. Yet, he never gave a read on Bardull for that nor did he push in Bardull’s direction for that. So from that interaction, I would garner that Soup was ‘interacting’ with Bardull there to seem like he was doing something to ‘deal’ with Bardull’s crap play, but not his actions. Further on he digs into Bardull’s stance on me. It gives Bardull a chance to elaborate on his weak stance on me. It’s not really a concern from soup, but a curiosity. “Is there anything else you dislike about him [Ranmaru]?” It’s a bit concerning from Soup. It rings similar to his question of “Do you feel differently then before?” to Swords. In short, Soup thinks Bardull’s entry post is crap but not something worth reading into, and instead of voting/accusing Bardull, he asks him if there are any other reasons to disliking me. I don’t really see this as questions that help find scum. He ended up liking Bardull despite that bad entry.
Soup’s
#336. He mentions he is here after Kata mentions that no one Is in the thread. Soup states that he was just waiting on Kuz, but I’m sure there were plenty of things he could have done before then. For example, he could have done more with his Bardull interaction, but he didn’t.
#434
Here Soup tells Bardull he has 3 votes, and that he [Soup] is thinking where he stands with all this. He doesn’t find anything wrong with Bardull, yet is telling him he’s getting ready to face him if need be.
#534
Here soup mentions he thinking about him getting on Bardull’s wagon, yet he has never acted. Earlier on he wasn’t really attacking bardull, yet trying to help him. He also stated he was thinking of where he stood in all this, but did he state it? I feel he was saying this multiple times as to stall from actually giving a solid stance on Bardull’s play.
#565
Here Soup finally mentions that he feels Bardull is actually being choppy. But he doesn’t push on his wagon, he has Bardull as a compromise. Yet, in the post before him, he singles out Bardull and Kat and is trying to see if one of them is scum.
#603
I don’t know why Soup pits Circus and kat together, instead of Bardull and Kat. Hmm.
#643
I think by this time Soup has totally dropped Bardull, and been focusing more on Circus.
Nabe asks people how they feel about Bardull, and here
#729 he says that he wishes he would respond to him.
Your vote on Hilt is pretty alarming.
..Um, is there a specific reason for your Hlit vote, Rockin?
Notice how he feels Rockin's vote on Hilt is alarming yet... drops the questioning and comes along the ride after Bardull comes in (quote below). But why? I feel it's just to take advantage of a coming lynch. He didn't really care about Rockin's vote.
Vote: Hilt
@Bardull #564 and on.
Circus
Still alarming. Yet this quote had me interested:
"this" is referring to my statement that J having a better laid out stance against Ran than Ran does on Rockin isn't necessarily a good thing
My point was basically just that J's immediate leap to something close to case making against Ran may be indicative of defensiveness—a need to create boogeymen quickly so as to divert attention from the true scum. He lays out a read so thoroughly in his 119, full of quality points, but there's an eagerness to it that feels premature. Of course, Ran beating me to the punch on the Rockin read could be indicative of same, but it feels more genuine to me at least, since he doesn't feel the need to shoot straight to post dissection before there are hardly any posts to dissect.
Short version of that is Ran and J both get my sideways eyes for running headlong at scumreads, but I'm calling Ran the more natural looking runner of the two.
From his
#286
This seemed interesting because the person J was trying to separate my ‘attack’ from was Bardull, and Bardull did flip scum. Something to keep in mind.
His #599 I will leave for later, as I don’t see him as a problem and I can remember most of his play since it wasn’t a big presence.
Kat
#343
Kat mentions that He’s fine with killing off Bardull/Soup for laying low for no good reason. He states he doesn’t see why Soup would just do nothing after his backdown from his Sword push. I don’t see how Kat progressed from this to killing anyone besides him and a few others. Yet I don’t find it suspicious. Just missed.
#403
Here Kat mentions that he didn’t notice Soup’s 348, and he started to see the progression. I don’t know what this means without context, but I assume this may have played a part in his read on Soup getting better? Hmm. He then just starts talking about Bardull about how he wants him.
#423
Here Kat mentions he wants to rally up the troops which includes me/soup/swords and prolly nabe. What this means to me is that Soup may have been better to him from there. Something in between his #423 and #403 made him lean a bit better on Soup.
Nabe
His
#449 seems a little eager. It’s a bit confusing, and I really want to know what set him off, even if gut.
