I started writing a list for UK of suspects, but then I realized that maybe four or five players
weren't
on it. But I need to get off the computer now, so this is only a partial catch-up post. I'll give a full list of reads later.
AGM, could you answer this:

Mariyta was the one who voted AKR for having posted only fluff. CooLDoG was the one arguing that it was scummy for Mariyta to vote
because some people hadn't posted at all
. So was AKnottedRope.
Does this change your read on Mariyta, CooLDoG, or AKnottedRope, y/n?
Also, do you believe that posting fluff (as opposed to not posting at all) in the RVS is a scumtell?
==================================
Anyway, my thoughts on the miller fiasco, since I never got them out on Saturday:
AGM earned a few town points for calling SC on his "My reasons are special snowflakes!" defence and for explaining why it's irrelevant that Reck left out the Henri Sardens part of his claim (since he'd already tied himself to a character). But just to debunk the nameclaim argument some more:
StrangerCoug wrote:LynchMePls: His predecessor claimed the Henri Sardis part of his claim after another person brought up the name. Previously, he had claimed only he was the head of the BotW—he did not supply a name.
No, that's only half true. Here's Mariyta's quote:
Alright, I did a little research to refresh my memory of the movie since I haven't seen it in a couple years and all the comments about the main antagonist were confusing me. First, Reck never claimed a name, but I'm assuming they're
Henri, the priest who is the leader of the Brotherhood
. He's psycho, yes, but not the main bad guy. He makes sense as scum, but he also makes sense as a miller. I don't think he knows about the beast or Gypsies, but I may be remembering that wrong.
So Mariyta offered the name "Henri" (which was a bad move on her part, but that's irrelevant). Reckamonic got all pissy that we're such idiots for not figuring out his true role name...but then added the name "Henri
Sardens
." Mariyta didn't offer the Sardens part.
Come on. Someone with no knowledge of the flavour won't be dumb enough to say, "Hey, guys! I'm the leader of the Brotherhood of the Wolf...yeah, no idea who that is, but it's the title of the movie, and I'm totally a miller." Even if he's scum, he's claiming his real role name.
And considering any miller character will be a bit dodgy, anyone voting LMP for
flavour alone
(looking at you, havingfitz and CooLDoG) without having ever seen the movie is being very arrogant and ignorant. I am trusting Mariyta's word that Henri Sardens is plausible as a miller, and leaving it for now.
Furthermore, miller claims in a theme game aren't difficult to verify. Let me give Harry Potter Mafia as an example. Severus Snape was a miller to a cop who detected Dark Marks. So maybe the cop in this game might also fit with a Henri Sardens-miller character.
Therefore, it makes no sense to lynch LMP until:
1) You all see the movie for yourselves instead of making, "He claimed a minor bad guy! Clearly he's evil."
2) We get a cop claim with a flavour.
3) We see at least one scum flip.
Also, AGM, why exactly is "rage-quitting" a scumtell? Why is Reckamonic more likely to replace out when insulted as town? I actually got town vibes from the "lynch us D1 if you're going to lynch the miller at all" post. It struck the right irritated town note with me.

Big words. GhostWriter,
why
are you so against the Untrod Tripod wagon? Admittedly, UT's most recent post had actual effort behind it (although the UncertainKitten vote was like something out of Lalaland--a country whose denizens I have a zero-percent success rate in reading). But the wagon was mostly based on him being lurky and bandwagoning shameless. I can see being lukewarm on UT. But I can't see how someone could have a read on UT more positive than null at this point. Why are you defending him? Do you know something we don't?
Also, GhostWriter, what do you think of Zang, CooLDoG, and StrangerCoug? See if you can guess why I singled out those three players.
Also, my early town read on CooLDoG has been spiraling down the drain. I don't know his town meta, but
ugh
. Most egregious offender:
I'll keep my vote on reck
, but I think now I understand his posting. You should post v/la and take a break, whats the point of playing a game if it isn't fun?
