Back in day one I took a look at people who reacted to Dusks plan to lynch Blarg. The list back then was Karkador, *Splinter, Sawneeks, OceanicAir and StarSketch. Who then, I wonder, stayed on the train when Dusk met his demise a day later? Those two would be StarSketch and Karkador. Both thus consistent with their day one thoughts. My current read of the two, ignoring all else about them - only based on all this, is that they are they were townies lynching a townie.
Where do the others spill over then? Splinter and Sawneeks go for dragonz, while OceanicAir does not vote at all during the day. Again, only looking at this behavior, all three look scummy. Splinter has the towny advantage here though as he places his vote on dragonz well before anyone else. Sawneeks on the other hand drops her vote at the final hour, which could be a scum placing a vote against a town lynch, just to say on the following day I told you so!. Oceanic, why no vote?
The third bunch would be the folks who did not react to Dusk on day one, but participated in his lynch. Those would be myself, Stanley, ynnek7, Christina and Corn. Here, Id imagine to see some reasoning with the vote to justify the change from I dont find Dusks plan strange to Dusk should die. I and Stanley mention our suspicions and the information gained from the lynch, ynnek is uncomfortable with the claim (winning the Xbox part I presume?), Christina implies that Dusk did not bid on the Xbox and is lying about everything and Corn does a bit of a drive-by where he puts the two leading candidates in the order he prefers them. Dont like the drive-by but there might be a bigger issue here.
Christina, you imply in #741 in response to ynnek that Dusks explanation about the bidding progress is missing something. You make it look like this is a major part of your vote for Dusk. What part is missing? Did you have other reasons for voting Dusk?
Lets unwrap everything from the vacuum and check how everything matches with everything else. Karkador engages with Sawneeks a bit. Should Sawneeks flip scum, this could be scum buddies throwing things at each other. StarSketch does not trigger the scumdar for now.
On day one Sawneeks speculated about what she felt a Blarg flip would reveal. She reads Dusk as scum. Dusks reveal on day two changes her stance, she does not see any reasoning behind scum Dusk revealing the Xbox. As the stance-switching happens at the start of the day, I am willing to consider this a genuine change of opinion. And there was no I told you so!. Oceanic has been somewhat reserved and I dont think there is enough ground for a vote on him. I think Ill save Splinter for a another post.
Corn, can you explain a bit why you switched from Splinter to Dusk? Christina, the questions above if youd be so kind. Stanleys biggest sins are no vote on day one and an appearance on Dusks scum list. Not voting on purpose is a daring scum strategy because it brings attention to the non-voter and limits scums influence on the vote. For now, I wouldnt place Oceanic and Stanley on the same scum team. ynnek is doing the noob, which I find hard to read if it is genuine or not.
