My read on Marci is pretty hard to nail down. Like, I have gone back and forth a lot. So, I guess that she is not the worst elim for the day.
However, I think that basically everything that Kovu said about Marci that kicked off this most recent wagon is basically bullshit.
Marci, after being under heavy fire for a long time, and finally getting the heat off of her literally reaching the point of having zero people voting her and basically no one discussing her being the elim for the day, and her in that moment poking into the thread to mention a scum read one of the most reactionary OMGUSing players I have encountered on site is quite possibly the most town indicative thing that Marci has done in this game. Full stop. And Kovu called it was a scum claim lmao

Like, lets look at what Marci said, and then what Kovu said. Because, Kovu's entire response was fairly unconnected from anything Marci even said. And I hated every word of Kovu's posts.

idk i remember when i was scum with andate in like holiday dance party she got townread for some shit similar to this
i dont see why what shes done is town indicative? like og i saw it but the more i look at it the more its similar vibes yknow?
In post 2106, Kovu wrote:Marci's main point is "I was scum with andante and she played like this" what? the lack of talking I'm doing? I literally have more posts than you. Similar vibes? the vibes are not similar at all. Holiday I was dead lost and didn't read any of the game. I even said that 50 million times in scum chat to yall. Here I'm actively around, sure this week got crazy, but I've still been here and responded to everyone saying Kovu. So what is this main argument you have for me being scum then? Cause I'm not seeing it.
It really feels like you're calling me scum for my "lack of spamming" here on day 2, but when I literally have more posts than you, 10 times more than mala, it's just like, what is the basis to your argument here for me being scum?
> I don't see what she's done that's town indicative
Ok um, didn't realize we were playing "Guilty until proven innocent" but, can you honestly give me towny points for everyone else here that you can't give for me?
So back to the main point, I truly believe this is a scumclaim from marci. she sees that I've been "lurking/coasting" and just goes "oh yeah, when I was scum with you you did that!!" like, why is that anyone's first thought, back to the 1 game you were my scum partner for a game in December... where I was home with family, and not thinking about literally any other game? I think the simple explanation is quite simply marci is just maf, and thinks this is a "good" argument to appear townier, but I quite simply don't buy it, and I don't believe there's good intentions behind it, pretty clearly looks like a scum claim to me.
Now marci, if you wanna back up this claim you're making with specific posts, I'd love to hear more, but if you thought I wasn't gonna stand up for myself, and that I'd be an easy push, you'd be mistaken.
Literally none of what kovu said that marci said, did marci actaully say.
Marci seemed to me to say:
-I think Kovu could be scum
-People seem to be town reading her for reasons that I don't know are town indicative for her
-There are similar vibes in this game to the one where I was scum partners.
Kovu then spirals out guessing all the ways that Marci might maybe think that the vibes were the same, and then saying that marci cannot possibly think those. The response is completely disconnected from anything that Marci actually said.

And frankly, this is not just disconnected from what Marci said. It is disconnected from reality. In what world, does Marci set out to find an easy push, and decide that Kovu is that person. When she could easily have joined in on anything that anyone else was saying about Dwlee, or Dunn, or Me, or Cakez, or call out a lurk slot.
Like Kovu is the exact opposite from an easy push to make in that moment.

Like, we can flip Marci here. I don't actually have a strong enough read to try and stand in the way of it, and if Marci does flip scum obviously she is not partnered with Kovu.
But frankly I can totally see scum Kovu existing, just from the sheer amount of BS that she is spewing from the mere idea that someone could suspect her. My read on Kovu prior has gone back and forth as well. In particular because of her reaction to the suggestion that I might twin with her. But :shrug: there as well.
But frankly, if this is Kovu's town game, I am pretty disappointed. To the point that I kinda hope she is actually scum here, so she at least has a valid motivation to do the things that she is doing.
