Not a big fan of Chaco's early posts. His #50 (
http://smashboards.com/threads/dc-v...-never-compromise.365288/page-2#post-17393069) has already been questioned by a couple of slots. I personally don't think it's particularly telling on its own (being uncertain of how to best utilize a newly introduced mechanic is entirely conceivable from a townie standpoint). What I DON'T like is his #96 (
http://smashboards.com/threads/dc-v...-never-compromise.365288/page-3#post-17394800) in which he responded to the criticism he received by MB (and to a lesser extent Gorf) by claiming/implying that it was some kind of cleverly planned bait. I don't buy it because A. the timing of him "revealing" this (shortly after being voted on by two slots, and at a point when most players had either not commented on the shield or even gotten a chance to do so) heavily suggests that it was a retroactive justification in an attempt to get rid off pressure and B. there was little follow-up afterwards. I guess you could argue that his subsequent discussion with - and fairly ugly vote on - Gorf qualifies, but then again, he didn't keep his vote there for particularly long before he dropped it and conveniently hopped on the growing KWK wagon.
On the flip side, he's been stepping up his game since then IMO so I feel a little bit better about him at the moment but not enough to entirely compensate for how much I dislike his early game.
Vote: Chaco
Voting a slot which isn't one of the two with five votes each may seem a bit optimistic but the deadline isn't in another 5 days so I'm cool with my vote here for the time being.
Now, to be fair with regards to the point about him voting KWK, that slot's been doing some grimy **** too and I'm okay with it as a secondary lynch. Retracting the stances of your hydra's other head is one thing (tbh I don't see why some of you think it's such a big deal; it's not like you suddenly can't hold the slot accountable for the opinions of one head just because the other disagrees) but claiming that it never happened is another story. Not going to stand in the wagon's way but if KWK flips town, Chaco's one of the first slots I'll be looking at.
