TOWN [Z25 > Sabrar > Jack > Wisp > UP | Pokechu | Laser > Boom] SCUM
No Change with Z. I liked his push to lynch Ninja, because it seemed townie to risk his position in the neighborhood. Generally more active than I've seen him in our previous game where he was scum.
Sabrar: His position lowers because of his
#915. He asks me why Boom being scum invalidates my case of Ninja, and how I can resolve my
#405 from Town!Ninja. This doesn't make sense when he believes Ninja is town. He also drops because of his
#524. (Finding Ninja town yet not defending him and trying to convince me why I am wrong) I ask him if he sees my point on Boom likely positioning himself on Ninja's flip, and he states that he can see Boom suggesting slips for Ninja so he can argue as town later, implying Ninja!Scum + Boom!Scum. (When I was arguing Boom!scum > Ninja!Town) Still a town read because he is consistently scumhunting, yet weaker. Upon a Boom scum flip, Sabrar is more likely to be scum. His point on LaserGuy is also weak. ("Feels more invested this game") when he is actually pretty under the radar.
Re-evaluating Jack, I think they are more likely to be slight town. Mostly due to them being present, their
#170, and their intearction with Ninja. At a point, it felt like they were going under the radar, but there are other slots that actually applies to more so than Jack. I think them being willing to follow me, makes them harder to read, but that's just following in general.
I think they also are comfortable with their interactions with Wisp, which I don't think they'd openly do as scum together. Jack has been doing some scum hunting, but less than Sabrar I would say. Still good questions. (For example, his
#910)
Wisp's actions make more sense now as Ninja flipped town. His actions wouldn't make his slot look good upon Ninja's flip, and it does look more un-informed. Yet Wisp is low in my town list because of the lack of vote, and only slight scum hunting / sorting. I think his
#1,057 is due to lack of close reading, but this isn't abnormal for Wisp. I am curious why he changes to Wisp over Boom, though.
UP moves up because as I stated before, his tone is town, and compared to his sorcerer game, this game has more progression of thought than in sorcerers, where he didn't out reads until prompted. His inactivity in EOD made sense in combination with his role, where he can speak at night. It's also a very risky move to make if he were scum. I can say that he should have used his role to make an analysis and full reads list, instead of simply responding to Sabrar's case on him. It would be better used that way. (Since he can re-evaluate with the flip in mind, and still post) Doesn't make him less town, but I think he could have used the role better.
Maven = Pokechu now. As stated before, I don't believe scum in Maven's position calls me out, when it would give me their attention. It would be more beneficial to Maven as scum to lurk to remain under the radar. So I have him as null, but hopefully Pokechu can give us a better read.
Laser is scum for doing a gambit that gives him a good read, and a good appearance, and then being more lack luster than Jack. It was also odd to see Laser not comment on Sabrar v Boom, which I feel would be important for him to do so since he should have meta on Sabrar and Boom. There's no real other posts I can point to that reveals Laser as scum. It's simply that Laser's motivations lean toward a scum motivation of 'appearing town' without doing much else to progress town. Laser's
#1231 also gives me the feeling that he seems to not have an un-informed feeling, not trying to sort or do anything, sort of just sitting there waiting for the flip.
Boom is scum for positioning himself to look good on Ninja's Town Flip, by defending him hard. Yet it's not defending him fairly, but hard past the point of him even believing it. He originally stated in
#173 that he felt Ninja was caught newb scum, but then reversed that due to the claim. Yet in
#350, the perspective that makes more sense, is the scum one. But his points for the town-ninja side, are weak, and aren't enough for him to believe in it. Especially points one and two. Two is the big one, because it's hard to believe he'd confuse the host for Wisp. (Given they have different avatars) Now
#811 is an interesting point which leans scum. He points out that what I was countering with (in theory) was me going into wifom territory. Which implies he hadn't thought of it, which reinforces my point that he was only considering the side where scum wouldn't be coaching Ninja to act as he had, because he had no reason to consider the scum side, he is informed.
#709 is an example of him only focusing on the neighbor claim and not the rest of his play.
His
#1108 is the only push of the game that I can actually believe, and has good points. Everything else seems forced. My general feeling was considering he may have been just a wrong townie, and I would re-evaluate why he was pushing forced reads on (Wisp, Ninja). In his
#1064 he states that wisp is trying to solve, but I don't really see that. He doesn't factor in that Wisp hadn't used his vote for part of the day, and I feel like he's neglecting that to force it. His
#829 is also forced, as I have already explained. His reason for lowering Pythag for not sticking to his own opinion is weak, since he has no prior history with him.
