Hello guys. Just so you know, I have been reading up until page 64 before I got my role pm, as I was in the replacements list but didn't have time when the game just started. Some thoughts from what I read while not being in the game:
-Guardian: when reading the game, I was more or less wrong about Guardian. I didn't think he was acting very protown, but when he said that he was attacked because he posted a lot, I believed him, as I've seen that happen several times with him and with myself too. I do want to point out that we can't take his word that there is another goblin: there might be more, but he might also be the only goblin. I could see Guardian say there is another goblin while he is the only one, as I know him as someone who fakes claims and post restrictions. And, if there's 1 goblin, it would make sense that there is 1 communist and 1 vampire, while there are 2 or more ninjas and pirates. This is all just a theory of course, please tell me what you think of it. Ooba's theory sounds plausible too,
if he didn't invent the italicised text himself
. I first thought he got it from a book or something, but I don't know what to think of it now. But mike's reaction to that is interesting.
-Thesp: while being wrong about Guardian, I was right about Thesp. At the start, when he asked to claim pirate or ninja, I found him scummy, but he looked more protown later, and when MBL was resurrected, I was 80% sure Thesp was a vig or other powerrole that would benefit from cops/finders. It could be interesting to check who's been attacking Thesp a lot before his claim.
-Erg0: come on guys. It was obvious he was scum. While we know nothing about the amount of goblins, I think it was pretty obvious Guardian spoke the truth about Erg0. How he knew that Thok was a threat to the goblins I don't know, but we can see that it was just in his interest to out another scum like Erg0. We should look at the defenders of Erg0 too.
A short summary of what I think about the living players:
-Cicero: appears town to me. Has appeared town to me the whole game, actually. If he's scum, he's good.
-CES: need to hear more from him before I get a read on him.
-Iammars: I think I believe his claim. I don't remember who claimed buffy (erg0?) and who of these 2 claimed first, but if Iammars claimed before buffy then there isn't room for a lot of doubt (although we shouldn't take it for granted).
-Kison: not sure about him. If his playstyle is different than normal, he looks a bit scummy, but maybe he's always like this (and then I mean saying "hi", commenting on a few small things, then disappear). He also said once that he's town, of which I don't think it's a big problem, but I know others see this as a tell, so I thought I'd point it out.
-MBF: scummy, although when I read the game before Guardian was lynched, I thought MBF was town, because he defended Guardian while Guardian was being attacked a lot. Now we know Guardian is scum, we should take a closer look at this guy.
-MBL: just a vig. Very small possibility that he changed alignment, though the ones that suggested this are not more or less scummy than others.
-ooba: He didn't get lynched. I thought of 2 possibilities when this happened: there's a governor, or ooba has lynch-immunity (1-shot or not). I'm not sure, but I think it would be a bit too broken for scum to have a lynch-immunity with this crosskill rule, and a scum governor also doesn't seem likely, so I think I'm leaning towards town for this guy.
-Primate: don't have a good read on him. He does not appear scummy to me though, so I'd say a bit more town than scum.
-Rogueben: acts scummy. I understand the wagon on him, and I'd follow if he was the only scummy person.
-The Fonz: town. Just the vibes, but strong vibes. Who was the one that said something like "I suggest Fonzie" (for a kill or lynch)?. Ah, my memory...
-Thesp: see above. He's a day vig, 1-shot or not.
-UA: got scummy vibes from him. IIRC he was the one who said massclaiming is good D1. Since we now know scum got safeclaims, we should take a closer look at him.
I will vote after I investigate the posts of the players I find scummy. That might take some time though, maybe this weekend I can find the time (I'll still be around though). Please ask me questions if you have them, though FlameAxe's behaviour isn't my cup of tea. And don't abbreviate my name as Lance plz.
