194 –
Mafia - I'm pretty sure everybody in this game thinks he's scum, and it's obvious why. The slot has been completely useless, and the Vinyl/KevinM/Terywj interaction has been talked over enough. If I may bring some meta in, 194 just flipped scum in a game I'm playing (Puzzle Bobble) with a very similar playstyle: lurking/inactivity and sheeped reads. I just can't come up with a single reason to assume that 194 is town.
Kary –
Mafia – I don't like Kary's reads and I don't like Kary's play. As I stated before (even though I totally forgot that Vinyl was a traitor), his Day 1 play seemed really erratic and nonsensical (particularly with regards to Vinyl) which just strikes me as not a pro-town mindset (town has no reason to flip their reads so suddenly and then deny their original reads). I also disagree with most of his reads/play, particularly his pushing/arguments regarding Joker.
Orboknown –
Null/Mafia – Orboknown has been a non-presence in this game. He barely posts, and all of his posts are almost completely forgettable. I can't even come up with anything else to say about him. I'd love to lynch him if we weren't in such a bad situation numbers-wise, there just seem to be better lynches right now.
Joker –
Town/Indie – Joker's role claim and his Day 2 play makes me pretty certain that he isn't mafia. His role strikes me as too unpredictable/weak for indy in a large, power-role heavy game, but I could easily be wrong. Other than his role claim and the daykill fiasco, Joker's play has been pretty boring, but he's done nothing to make me think he's mafia, and differentiating between town and indy players is pretty damn tough.
KevinM –
Null/Town – Kevin's play reads to me just like aggressive scum attempting to gain control of the town. Unfortunately, it also reads just like aggressive town attempting to gain control of the town. I really want to believe that Kevin is town, but I'm not convinced. He hasn't done as much scumhunting as say, No Lynch, as far as I've seen, and I just don't get the “Kevin is obvtown” case. He's fine for now, but I'm uncomfortable with him living to lylo, because KevScum is a hard man to lynch.
Ryker –
Null/Town – Ryker reads very similarly to Kevin, but slightly more town oriented. The aggressive, in your face style has always been tough for me to read and this is no exception. Ryker seems to be more actively scum-hunting than Kevin and less town leading which is a good sign. Like Kary, I disagree with a lot of Ryker's reads, and his play is immensely frustrating, but I'm leaning town for sure.
BSL –
Town – I've liked almost everything that BSL has posted. His scumhunting and questioning is spot-on and I've liked most of his reads as well. I would be very surprised if BSL was scum (don't do it to me, man
).
No Lynch –
Town – If No Lynch were scum, he (they?) would probably still be town MVP. I find it impossible to believe that he's scum for a number of reasons. All of No Lynch's reads are spot-on and his questioning also gives me warm, fuzzy feelings. The only person I'd lynch No Lynch over is myself.
Let me know if you want any clarification on anything.
