Smash Champion
Agreed with Dooms being townOkay here is a little blurb of what I thought while I was reading the game.
I'll explain the town reads quickly.
Joey is one of the people I just know as a player really well so I can read his intent solidly. His intent this game is shining town for me with the way he is pushing his reads and being an active part of the discussion. Although, I disagree with his Auspher push, it seems genuine like he is confident in his read and must push it. The only weird thing is the that he continues to say that he is V/LA but keeps popping back up, though that just seems silly to me. =P
Evil Eye is a little bit of a no brainer for me. I'm not getting any vibes of the scummy guy from PF who beat me out in LyLo. *Mean person ;_;* His activity is a lot more than I have thought from him and he is pushing people he thinks are scum based on good reasoning. It's like night and day from the Evil Eye I learned at first. I just like what he's doing and see his train of thought really well with town intent.
KevinM is an odd one for me to have a town-read on. I've only played with KevinM a couple of times but I'm beginning to learn his playstyle. At first, I wasn't liking KevinM simply because he is a coaster, however, I'm become accustomed to that being the normal him as town. So I took another look at his posts and found that he is actually saying things in his posts that make me see him as town. Like him questioning some of the main talkers and making his reads known a bit in the thread. Not seeing any mal-intent nor really anti-town from KevinM so I'm cool with keeping him
^Those more or less came in order of my town reads' strengths.
I dislike both Gheb and RR for different reasons.
Gheb moreso is that he is merely going after weak players and when EE called him out on that, it was right on the money. He has continued to just float about not doing much of anything yet when provoked he bites back insanely hard. *Confrontation with EE* He's gone after KevinM for not giving a stance list (yet KevinM has been giving stance), Kataefi for a ??? reason, Joey for being Joey, and RR which he just keeps saying. They seem like cop-out scum-picks and he hasn't really done much of anything to push any four of them as the main lynch target.
His non-prescence is something I don't like as well but I'm chalking that up to Christmas since he said he had Christmas johns as of late so I'm cutting him some slack. Gheb just doesn't seem that towny this game to me and reminds me of Higurashi.
RR is just moreso a vibe than anything else. His play is really reminding me of how he played in Higurashi and there was just this one quote that looked too similar too me for marking it up as a coincidence.
This post in Higurashi and This post in Lost Mafia
It reminded me because of the utter appalment RR had in that game combined with the fact of that Vote/Unvote line he did just screamed to me similaritiy. It isn't enough for me, however, to want to lynch Ryu but I do have my eye on his simply because his play is coming off as shady to me.
Rajam, I dislike purely because his posts lack anything with getting his hands dirty. he continues to attack (lightly at that) that he dislikes a certain person's posts. Let's bring up his quoting/questioning of EE. He continued to express concern with EE's posts but never made a move to call him scum for it nor did he call him scummy for said post, merely just said that he disliked the posts. Afterwards when he posted a reads list, EE was founded as null.
With current arguments, he is the ultimate person in the middle of everything which makes me even more wary that he is scum just looking for the best opportunity for him to swoop in and do something that seems towny. His play screams, to me, precautious scum looking for a way to make himself a presence in a game just enough to avoid being called an inactive and just inactive enough to lay low away from fire. He continues to express null things while not necessarily delving into why someone is scum. One sentence really cemented that I want to lynch Rajam the most.
He isn't even offering up any scum-reads that show he wants to lynch them but moreso just stating that lynching inactives would be the best course to "send a clear message". That line just seems really fake to me. =x Plus he doesn't even care to mention other inactives like Soupa/FF/Kata but chooses those three in particular. Why?
My notion is that he choose those three because they were the most talked about and seemed to be the headway for discussion. (Glyph/Circus*now me*) Especially.
Two reads to me that are quite interesting are Ryker/EE. EE because he calls him "too comfortable in the game" which makes him wary. I don't know whether he is calling him scum or he is just stating a fact he dislikes. EE being comfortable doesn't seem really indicative of alignment. How is this a scumtell?
Next is Ryker which is a complete hypocrisy and seems cautious. He says he dislikes Ryker's playstyle and says he dislikes him AND he then gives Ryker this huge paragraph discussing what Ryker should do about certain things and how he expresses concern with his reads, but still calls him town.
Rajam seems to be trying to call Ryker town to get him off his back because iirc, Ryker was disliking Rajam earlier and it seems Rajam is trying to satiate Ryker by trying to help him. I dislike this paragraph because it looks like he is calling Ryker's activities scummy but he has him as a town-read. It seems backwards to me. xD
Rajam also does not seem to care who we lynch toDay as long as it is one of the inactives being Glyph or myself. He continues to press this point on being they need to go because they are inactive. I'm sorry but to me, I just don't like it.
Vote: Rajam
Rajam, I would like scum-picks from you that are outside the inactives.
I would also like you to take a side of what Mentos/Gorf is to you since you have them as null iirc.
What is your opinion of Gheb/RR? Would you lynch them or would you save them if you had the choice?
Where did you get that read on KevM??
Regarding EE, I don't know why it is inconsistent that I found some posts of him weird, and then put him in the null list. You are saying that I never called him scum; that's right, I have a null read on EE.
I did mention those three. Soup was 4th place, I wouldn't lynch FF since we get nothing from his lynch, and I have a slight town read on Kataefi so I also wouldn't lynch him.
I dislike Ryker's playstyle in general in every game. That doesn't mean I can't call him town in some games though. I think he is town but I'm telling him some flaws I think he has in his playstyle.
My rebuttal to all your other points is "No, you're wrong. I'm town". If you put your points in the form "I think ... bla bla" it's not like I can do much more than that rebuttal anyways.
Other than the inactives, Gorf while I was catching up (reasons in my latest posts), and lately KevM for that callout on RR for... asking a claim on the player with the more chances of being lynched? what's wrong with that? oh sorry KevM still falls in the inactives category but he's still scum. I still think you're scum from your previous Circus' slot. My other scum reads are weak and include mentos and probably Evil Eye at this point.
I had a town read on Gheb at the beginning of the game which is now a weak town read since I think several Gheb' reads are wrong. RR I had a slight scum read at the beginning, just pure vibes though and now I don't have anything solid on him to still put him in the scum side. Null. I wouldn't save RR if it becomes a choice between picking him or no lynch; I'd implicitly save them both if I can choose someone scummier.
