1.] This slot has 180'd reads wherever it has been convenient. Has made a claim that no Townie has any business making, and after playing this mafia game with Leviathan, I have seen more ****-slinging than a career zookeeper. Now, let's hit the quotes. Keep in mind that literally ALL of the points we brought up yesterday still hold water, but this analysis will be for the NEW things he has shown us this dayphase.
First, let's look at his roleclaim.
2.] If you need an in-depth analysis, please see FF's post. But the highlight here is that it DOES NOT help a Townie. It does nothing but to highlight him as a roleblock target, and possibly preserve his slot for one more dayphase. His role DOES NOT CONFIRM anything if he can claim roleblocked or if the scumteam has any sort of messaging role, as I am pretty sure Monster Mafia included.
3.] This claim only serves to out information about Town PRs. Scum knows if THEY have a roleblocker, and if we confirm/deny the question he asks at us, scum learns more about Town's PRs. I will not be responding to his question directed at us, and would encourage a Town roleblocker not to claim if they targeted him, if he is going to be lynched. It will not save him. His claim does nothing to salvage his play. Again, if you want more, see FF's post on the subject.
Next is my favorite part. Growing up, both of the players in this slot REALLY LOVED Tony Hawk's Pro Skater. It's a really enjoyable timesink. And with all the 180's that Leviathan has pulled this phase, he must be racking up one hell of a combo.
Let's look at where his reads currently stand. The following two posts sum them up very well:
There you have it. I have problems with some of these reads, which I will get into in our next section, but for now, there are three to examine.
4.] First, let's talk about his read on Arcane Inferno. He has held Arcane Inferno at arm's length for the entirety of the phase, claiming a TvS scenario vs. Bardull, as seen above. Note those two posts come with less than a full day between each other. Now, note that the REASON he cited for reading FF as Town is the post where FF claimed that Levi's reason for claiming was bull****.
Compare that to this post, also from Day 2:
"
It all hinges on Bardull".
Look. His read he claims to all hinge on Bardull has COMPLETELY FLIPPED. Sure, he'll claim that it's still SvT, but he's suddenly way more confident, and Bardull hasn't done A THING to change that. Look at what the gamechanger was. We re-iterate that the gamechanger was FF calling his claim bull****.
5.] Now look at the
reason that Arcane Inferno could be scum, in his previously stated SvT read.
"(
Bad push on Leviathan)".
This is what earned him his place on Leviathan's scum radar. He (Frozenflame) is maintaining those so-called bad pushes, by stating that a move (that Leviathan continues to defend as the correct decision), is not Town-motivated. All FF has done is persist in the actions that Leviathan has claimed are scummy. Yet Leviathan's read
changed, without further input from Bardull.
This is not kosher. This is a read changed for convenience's sake in order to appease a slot that he wants off of his back.
6.] And this is not the ONLY change born out of convenience. Look at his read on US. For clarity's sake, we will henceforth refer to Murderbush in the third person.
This is where Murderbush stands on his reads list currently.
Now, let's look at a post earlier in Day 2, once more keeping in mind just how little time has passed, and how little Murderbush has posted. Take a look at this post from earlier in Day 2:
This DOES NOT COMPUTE. What impetus was there for this change? What Murderbush stance caused him to re-think his Townread? Nothing. The answer is that there is nothing.
The Murderbush slot had come under heat from the @
Protean- ghost, @
Gova
, and Zen (who later recanted it), among others.
This change of read is ANOTHER change of convenience. He's seen an opportunity to potentially off a vocal Town slot, and has shifted his readlist accordingly. But that's not all.
7.] Look back to his current read on Murderbush.
First, regarding the red: Where was this hesitancy, where was this waffling when he posted his Town read on Murderbush earlier? It did not exist. Because if you look at the quote, it was convenient to tell off Ran by having a Murderbush Town-read.
Now it is convenient to have a Murderbush scum-read, so he has changed his stance accordingly.
8.] Next, regarding the yellow, we have some of the scummiest business I've seen in a LONG time.
Here, he is absolving himself of ALL responsibility for a Murderbush lynch. Hell, he's absolving himself of responsibility for even being involved with Murderbush PRESSURE.
9.] A slot as headstrong as Leviathan who brazenly calls players "useless, bad, and a detriment to Town" does not simply 'honor a dead man's wish'.
Protean's vote was convenient, and he is trying to take FULL advantage of it.
Finally, we have another stance change. I want to bring your attention to the fact that Leviathan's vote is currently on BARDULL. Where was it before this?
And that's not even TOUCHING his Day 1 play.
10.] And what does he do after Dabuz posts his case on Bardull?
Here he is JOINING A WAGON with the player he has been trying to lynch for more than half of the game, while still holding him as a SCUM READ.
Once again, I assert that this stance change is one born of convenience. He changes wagons because a Bardull is more well-supported, and therefore more likely to bring pressure away from his slot.
11.] Especially with regard to Arcane Inferno, who Leviathan has been pandering to, as we highlighted earlier.
This concludes our MAJOR problems with the slot. We'll wrap it up with a few more problems we have with his reads list, namely his lack of commitment, further setting himself up for convenient stance changes later on.
12.] Kantrip has done enough for him to have SOMETHING on this slot. The lack of ANY elaboration leaves him WIDE open to taking whatever direction he needs.
13.] That read is HARDLY unique, considering Zen and Protean himself had already expressed similar sentiment. Despite how interested he is in Gova's choice and considering his Day 1 completely irrelevant, Leviathan leaves this slot as a pure null, with the same freedom to mold the read at his convenience, similar to the read on the Potassium slot.
14.] Oh BABY, I forgot THIS one. Here's one MORE 180. Leviathan had Werekill as a Town read Day 1 and now that other players are expressing suspicion of the Werekill slot, conveniently cannot remember why. Instead, he puts Werekill in that same null pile, with the same aforementioned freedom to change the read.
TL;DR
Leviathan's claim should in NO WAY merit any bonus time for the slot and on TOP of his play from Day 1, he CHANGES his reads to whatever is convenient and leaves future reads open to the same treatment.
The slot is scum, and needs to die.
Dramatic Flair is that what you think Protean is thinking here?
