I'm not too fond of the lack of followup on the points made there, but this game is already an excellent example of why lack of followup isn't AI by itself.

The more telling thing IMO is that the slot's overall focus is quite narrow and they seem to be actively avoiding the main controversies in the thread. This suggests trying to fly under the radar. So while the often-referenced 1434 isn't bad in its own right, the overall pattern is scummy.
So... are you going to vote them? Or are you still contemplating other options?

I actually think the opposite though. A narrow focus isn't of itself bad. It's difficult to make broad assessments in a 100 page game in 3 days. I certainly can't, but 1434 is just point-quote-point vomit, if you can stomach calling those "points"

I asked before you provided your readlist actually, so that's unrelated.
I'm feeling super uneasy about their recent posting.

I'm disappointed that there was only one comment to that post, and it came from a null (properly speaking a "no read") instead of a townread. But I guess I'll take what I can get.
Yes, narrow isn't prima facie scummy in a superlarge. I didn't do a good job on putting the emphasis in the right place. They're ignoring controversial topics, the way I see it, and that's the important part as it shows a degree of laying low. More AI than merely lurking.

I have claimed non-human that wins with town, and being in a Neighborhood with other ppl that are either my same race and wincon or scum.
2 People have claimed and i confirmed being part of that Neighborhood, copper and Storm.
Molla has also claimed non-human that wins with town.
A50 has claimed a PGO style role (not exactly a PGO claim, but warning to not be targeted).

I think that's about all.

So the important thing is that there's a Neighborhood with you, Copper, and Stormblade. Almost50 claimed a PGO-variant.

At the moment I'm giving more credence to PR claims than flavor claims like race/nation/etc. Is there any benefit to revealing the flavor details in your role PM?

Flavor text might help us decipher the various wincons/factions, which were left intentionally vague by mastin.

Presuming you are Town, I'm assuming there's no reason not to disclose that. What's your take on that?

There's more than us 3, but i dont think it's particularly important to know those names right now, specially coz they'd also be non-human (either town or scum) and we all know how all the racial claims are bad as of now.

Oh i also claimed to have slipped my role in the neighborhood at start because at first i thought it was a masonry, Storm and copper can attest to that, im not claiming my role here.
