I finally finished my readthrough of this game. My goodness that was longer than I expected though I did put it off for quite some time. Plus I doubt people are going to be posting much today considering it is Easter but yeah.
Well I don't have that much enlightening things to say besides one read which is Kafkaesque(I cannot get saying this name enough), so I'll explain that one first. My gut is shouting to me that they are scum because I feel that most of what they have posted have been purely null and I don't like that fact especially when it feels like its the Swords side of the hydra doing a majority of the posting. His picks for vigging were just weird and I don't get why he picked Macman/Marshy, he says because they are unhelpful but what about Orbo or Rajam or even myself for being a non-presence. I also do not care for his voting history this game of the first one being OS for shallow reasoning against him that someone called them out on and then their most current suspicions just line up with popular thought all of a sudden with Chaco/Rockin suspicion. The thing I dislike the most about this slot would be how they have not really gotten their hands dirty yet, but they have said things/done light actions. Nothing from them seem to be "good" enough (if you understand where I coming with that wording) this game. I don't have much to go on to call them scum but I want to. However, there is really not enough time in the day phase to vote them and would be haphazard to do as such so they just get an FoS from me.
FoS: Kafkaesque
Which actually is a perfect way to fit my suspicion on them. Its there but not enough to warrant a vote.
Rockin seems wishy washy this game but I can't say I see the scum-intent in his actions and they just seem more pitiful. However, dislike his almost random Kanty vote because I did not think he was going to be going there plus it does not make sense to introduce another wagon so close to deadline, especially when Kanty even dropped his vote on FF due to it not going anywhere.
Chaco is someone who I am alright with getting rid of toDay because I completely agree with KevinM in the fact that he has just been revolving around mechanics and not doing any scum-hunting. I do, however, want to add on that I disliked Chaco's way of trying to get scumreads in the beginning of the game with Axel's TA where he said, "I see what you did there, everyone who hopped on is now on my radar." which is a terrible statement to make especially considering that no one hopped on but Axel picked those people for a reason (don't ask me cuz I have no clue why Zen did what he did).
Vandy's slot vs. Pink Lemonade seem like a TvT argument gone on for way too long with their walls and I will be honest and say I began to skim them a tad because they seemeed to get repetitive with their points and it didn't seem to go much more anywhere besides stationary and revolving around them. The thing I liked about both of them though is that they did not let the debate between the both of them stop from scum-hunting on others. I didn't really follow that debate to see who would be the winner in the end but because of the debate, I got a better read on both their slots.
As a side-note for the DH portion of that battle: Null on this slot because I don't know where to place him yet, he is a slot that is hardish for me to read because his intent is always out there. Atm if I had to pick a side, I'd probably lean scummy due to the nature of his posts seeming to lack town intent and instead have more of a "me" intent to them.
KevinM would be my strongest town read this game and I have to say I am thoroughly pleased with pretty much everything he has posted. I find him to be scum-hunting and pressuring his scum-reads really well. OS' suspicion of him does not make sense to me, however, OS leans more town for me. I do agree with KevinM though that his vote being on KevinM is useless and kind of a waste.
RR is a lean-town read at the moment, however that's gut because of what he did to my other half of the hydra. I know he loves his gambits but it felt more sincere his reaction to making my other half get out of this game due to his behavior. Problem with him though, he hasn't done much besides ask a few questions here and there and nothing really much else.
Macman/Marshy/Rajam/Orbo are nulls, good with an investigative being on them.
Now onto the final three that have been in a debate that spans so many pages. (FF/Kanty/X1-12) This argument is one I skimmed to be fair because it seemed to develop the same problem with Ran/Joey's debate. The thing about it is though, I get much more of a tunneling vibe from FF and I would like to see him do something that doesn't really revolve around himself and actually get involved with other players besides being engorged in the argument he is having with X1-12/Kanty. Kanty I literally have no read on him at the current time because their are some posts that I like and some I don't. X1-Inferno slot though I have a little clearer read, though, its based on Inferno's beginning posts which I did not care for (@Vandy: Explanation for why you liked Inferno/X1 earlier on will need to be explained, especially with how this game is going) because they were wagony in the beginning and lacked reasoning. Now X1 has just gotten himself into a position that he hasn't really dug himself out of ever since replacing in. Lean scum on that slot and I would be happy with seeing it go because we will get tons of info on the slot because practically everyone has an opinion on this slot.
Something for all three though, I would like to see more from them that doesn't involve the three of them arguing together.
Tl;dr - Here's a reads list that sums up the post.
Town - KevinM, PL, Vandy
Lean Town - RR/OS
Null - Kanty/Rockin/Orbo/Rajam/Marshy/Macman/Frozenflame
Lean Scum - X1-12/DH/Kafkaesque
Scum - Vinyl.
Unvote
Vote: Vinyl.
Anyways now I'm in this game. ^^
