Responses like this are poking at someone tangential to the actual vote because Thomith feels like he needs to talk down the vote on him, but doesn't actually have anything to say about the votes on himIn post 172, Thomith wrote:

If you're town, I do actually want to work with you, but you spending every waking moment in thread shouting at people about how bad they are and how good you are does nothing to help and actively makes people tune you out-

So at some point Thomith goes from this to being a main reason for the awesomeming flip?In post 869, Thomith wrote:
I was about to dispute this as a harsh read of the situation, as I didn't think Hu Tao strongly scumread Kay and just felt weird about her, and the unvote made sense if she did genuinely think she would feel more confident reading you later.In post 868, Black wrote: Hu's scumread on KJQ feels as fake as her scumread on Dann. I understand the concept of wanting to give a replacement a chance to salvage the slot but she disregarded her KJQ scumread so easily. It doesn't feel like a natural reaction to me
I reread the Kay vote though, and that didn't seem to be the case, that felt like a "I'm pretty sure you're scum" reason for a vote.
I think I'm inclined to agree with you because of that.

I townread Dann.
I townread ming I think because their "OMGUS" suspicion on Rational did seem like he was trying to solve.
I think Rational may be town because of the amount of resistance he is receiving, but that could be a personality thing which makes me less sure.
I disliked Elements early but feel better about them more recently I think.
I dislike CCS and Nick.
Goofball needs to do more.
I think Dann/Gibdo are probably the same alignment based on how they interacted earlier in Day 1 (I'll find the post where I explained this before)
If Hu Tao is scum maybe Salty is town because of the early scum read Hu Tao had there?
These thoughts feel like they were generated upon Black asking for them-

The logical conclusions from this are:
1. I'm wrong about someone in {Elements, Hu Tao, NickRiviera} (this is definitely worth looking into)
2. Scum were incentivised in some way to either bus, or were noncommittal for some reason.-

I think this is a townie pushing something they care about, despite knowing it's wrongIn post 1439, ActionDan wrote: CCS "case":
A swing and a miss on Thomith:
475 is not sufficiently backed up by 609. 225 does nothing to further the claim of "trying to get a vote" on elements. It is on its surface only applying logic to lessen a potential scumread on Thomith by elements. Likewise 630 is neither here nor there in the context of the broader dialogue between Thomith and Elements early game and the question posed is making a comparison between unlike things namely Thomith's treatment of Elements and Elements treatment of RM.
695 is quite bad, even worse now that Awesomeming has flipped scum. First RM's case/read on Awesomeming never had any bite or logic behind it, so "getting behind it" and piggybacking on RM's content already would show a lack of care about the read. If the read was formed independently and didn't hinge on anything RM has said then RM breathing down ming's neck shouldn't come into account regardless.
posts 693 1008 and 1080 taken together do not mesh well if the cynicism for Hu Tao is overridden by Dann's progression on that slot.
Also its been said but calling DGB's reads TMI doesn't follow a logical perspective either.
The only thing that would make me even slightly hesitant is that this slot is so comically linked to Awesomeming's that I'd think scum would be more cautious.
You guys are more than welcome to eat Hu's lunch but flipping this slot has got to be the correct play.-

In hindsight, there's probably a lot to read into when Awesomeming noticeably gave up, and what interactions around him were like at that time-

So I'm effectively caught up
I don't think the timing or execution of the Black or Thomith votes when they happened are clearingIn post 1755, Grovyle in a Fedora wrote: hi i wont be able to post until tomorrow
welcome klick, I personally see gibido as genuinely towny esp with how they shared dann's thoughts putting them firmly into townpile, and wrt KJQ i put that down as someone demotivated by RM's play (which I sympathize with) + black and thomith both effectively swung the momentum towards awesome (away from hu tao i might add while dann was a wagon) which I feel effectively places them as town.
why do you think hu tao is not PoE material?-

Oh yes Gibdo exists
I'd put them like... in between the two middle tiers. I spent most of the readthrough thinking they were super null and very PoE. Their vote on Awesomeming doesn't feel like a natural bus, but I don't think that's super convincing in hindsight compared to what other players have that's towny for them. I am willing to sheep others on them being town but I don't actually have that much conviction in that read myself.-

That's because my intention wasn't to demonstrate to you that Hu Tao is town, my intention was to briefly express my own thoughts on the things I cared about most while readingIn post 1827, Gibdo wrote: - 1774 wouldn't give a decent player enough information at all to read Hu Tao as town, if there's more to your read here Klick then I need to see it.

I'll have to do that this evening, I've not really got time or energy for that on my lunch break
The very tl;dr is that I believe in Hu Tao's perspective of the game - I believe town would behave the way she's behaving, I think there are aspects of it that scum wouldn't intuitively fabricate, as an overall vibe she feels like she's genuinely pushing what she believes.
But people always hate the details of that sort of qualitative analysis-

I contrast it with this, which is a big wall of things that just serve to justify a vote that Gibdo clearly already wants to makeIn post 1827, Gibdo wrote: VOTE: Klick
1793 raises a few big red flags for me.
First, putting Hu Tao in the "Town" category would be a very scary and hasty conclusion for a town-aligned player to reach, especially when you consider the following:
- Dannflor, as the only confirmed town, hard tunneling her in D1 and getting NK'd right after
- She was one of the five players to NOT vote awesomeming after a clear ball drop
- 1774 wouldn't give a decent player enough information at all to read Hu Tao as town, if there's more to your read here Klick then I need to see it.
Second, after Klick replacing camelCasedSnivy (who was heavily scumread by most of us) and reading up on the game, I don't think a good enough case was presented for Thomith to match such a strong scumread on him. I'd have expected something far stronger than "this doesn't feel genuine" in 1777.
Thirdly, the reads on ActionDan are inconsistent between 1786 and 1793, especially for only being a couple hours apart. It gives the impression that town's favor is trying to be gained by agreeing with him while not actually acknowledging that ActionDan has been consistently making incredibly town-aligned posts.
None of this actually says 'this makes Klick scum' and I don't think Gibdo believes in this as much as he wants to present something that looks competent-

It's a nothingness and only serves to keep the status quo of myself and Hu Tao being under suspicion
None of the things you bring up here actually give reasons to... not townread Hu Tao. They're all surface reasons one might consider looking in her direction.

I'd have expected something far stronger than "this doesn't feel genuine" in 1777.

It gives the impression that town's favor is trying to be gained by agreeing with him while not actually acknowledging that ActionDan has been consistently making incredibly town-aligned posts.
Like the reason I'm saying I don't believe you really believe this is because it feels like you're getting to 'I don't understand this' and then stopping all thought and concluding I must be scum. There are absolutely questions you could ask to attempt to understand the things you instead choose to make assumptions about here.-

I don't really know how to definitively answer it because it involves a lot of what I *feel* when I read Hu Tao's posts
When I read Hu Tao's posts in context I believe that what she's saying is coming from someone who is town and trying to solve this game on her level
I could probably towncase Hu Tao but I don't really feel motivated to do so-
