The fact that she correctly tracked Iecerint leaves me with 4 choices: a) Haylen lied, but posesses psychic powers (likely scum), b) Haylen is scum and her scumteam does have a tracker/watcher to help her, c) Haylen is scum with Iecerint and d) Haylen did get the power as she described (which still wouldn't imply alignment IMO). a is obviously unlikely, and I think the other ones are perfectly possible.
The fact Haylen flipped scum doesn't nullify any of the options. b and c are somehow more likely (now that we know Haylen was scum).
What Plum wrote on post 1908 was, basically, that the scum would likely have a tracker, mainly due to mothrax's fakeclaim. So, that would mean that choice b) among my choices would be right. So, I think it's now more likely that Iecerint is town, but I don't see it as 100% confirmed.
Humm...
Now, my thoughts on the other players:
Plum: She had been active lurking for most of D4, but she seems to be back. Her posting has improved lately, but what somehow bugs me is the fact she won't take stances on the other players. Indeed, it seems the only player she has posted her instance on lately has been myself, and it seems to be changing like crazy (first obvscum, then not so scummy, then null, then scum again, then VItown,...).
I'd like Plum to post her thoughts on each player, as I'm doing right now. Otherwise, my read is null. Some of her posting has been townish, but her active lurking severely hurt her image.
Furcolow: This player can be described by 2 words: Village Idiot.
Not intended to be an offense, but it is.
His posting is extremely contradictory. I've stated before that I feel his playing style is just one made to provoke other players into providing strong stances, while often contradicting itself. If it was for his posts, I would just have no read. It's just way too confusing.
However, my read on him is strong town, mostly due to his interaction with vezo. The fact they were going so much cutthroat for each other would almost instantly nullify a bussing argument. Also, Furc's playstyle might actually have been going for this, and it would be a set-off vezoScum against a self-sure FurcViTown.
So, I strongly believe Furc is town.
SocioPath: This player can be described by 3 letters and four question marks. WTF????
He's just absolutely unreadable. I'd say that, when the time comes, we will be able to discard out Socio as the last scum (in case he is). I'd leave him alive for now, even with his sheer uselessness.
uhh...
Iecerint: Some of his posting has been poor/useless, and he hasn't taken stances lately (barring the last string of like 8 consecutive posts I've yet to read), other than SocioPath and Haylen being scummy. Also, he has sometimes been active lurking, and mod-speculating. I would like him to provide more content (altough I've yet to read the latest things he said).
I couldn't find whether Haylen's claimed track would imply Iecetown or Iecescum. So, my read is also null, altough I'll have to reread him in ISO (I'll try to improve my formatting and be briefer, as my post about CKD was unreadably huge). I want him to point out stances as well.
AGar: His posting has been somehow good, and his votes have been often reasoned. However, since the start of D5 he would just tunnel on Haylen. Yeah, his cathces were indeed accurate, but Haylen isn't the only other player. This interaction, nonetheless, gives off a town vibe (well, he was one to point out the loopholes in Haylen's claim, and I don't think a scum would make such a thing when many townies are still undecided on the claim. Again, such degree of bussing is unlikely). My read on him is leaning town, altough I'd like he made a list of stances as well.
Chronopie: This player can be described in 2 words: Active lurking. He shamelessly hopped on almost all of the popular wagons with little to no reasons. The only post where he has stated his stances in more than one player was ISO26. As AGar and Plum, I'd like he stated his (updated) stances, with at least some reasoning. Overall, my read is null, with a (very) mild scum lean.
In numbers (10 being obvtown, 0 being obvscum):
Furcolow 8.5
AGar 7
Plum 6
Iecerint 5.5 (pending on reread)
Chronopie 4
SocioPath 3.5
curiouskarmadog 2.5 (pending on last part of reread)
The other question: The lynch on M=W had weak bases. Yes, I was on that wagon. However, the reason I decided to stay on it was because I didn't believe on the case on Iecerint. Some of M=W's posts had been scummy, so I decided M=W's wagon was better than Iec's. Well, he flipped town. Bad thing, but the best is to move on.
I'll go back to the CKD reread tonight (altough the post might come tomorrow morning). I think I might make a VCA as well, but I won't guarantee this one.
