Notes from an ISO on Fandorin:
Early on he was throwing some suspicion towards Sophia and Ketkat, but others were as well. Felt like he didn't extrapolate on those thoughts much though, just feeding the crowd.
A noticeable amount of mechanics talk about the leader and night modifiers and stuff. Just something that naturally reads scummy to me because like I said before, I really loved mechanics talk as Scum, especially on D1, in Conspiracy because it was something to bring my post count up that had nothing to do with who was Town and who was Scum.
His first thoughts on who should or shouldn't be leader:
Fandorin said:
Based on meta and this day start, I think I can remove a few players for my vote for leader. Right now I'm considering cabot, Giant Panda, Sorian, Monkey and Brazil; not in any order at the moment. I probably won't vote for either Blarg, Terra, Flux, Fran or Faddy.
Ok, so out of that list of "Do Not Wants" we have Terra who we know was Town, Flux who we are almost positive is Town, Fran who we are almost positive is Town. Blarg and Faddy otherwise. Why is Faddy there for supposed meta reasons? I would think Faddy would be a contender since he usually reads so Towny, right? Distancing self from team mate? Also I just find it weird that he would say he wanted Giant Panda as a leader among those other players. GP is a good player, yes, but in my experience he shines a lot more in the later days once there have been some flips, he was my bro in the later days of GoT. He's also usually pretty quiet on D1. So basically, I wouldn't want to give the D1 Leader role to GP based on meta reasons like he supposedly says he does. Sawneeks is who replaced GP just for the record.
Later on he says he'd rather vote for you or Monkey once Fireblend called out the random vote he had dropped on him. #715
He got on Terra about that note that Malus had made about SSM's vote. The weakest shit in the game, and he was a part of it. #772 and #784. Huh, I should have called his ass out instead of Monkey, I'm just too paranoid about Monkey lol.
Gives a bit of a defense of Malus too, #1040, after the whole thing that sparked between Fran and Chuggs about Chugg's read on Malus. He even notes that he doesn't "remember playing with him before". Why hedge on whether or not you've played with someone? Malus is very new the the community, Fandorin doesn't need to pretend he isn't sure if he knows him or not.
*Side note about Faddy: He had made a list of his D1 suspects being within the pool of people who jumped at Sophia early on D1 because he was positive she was Town. He has both Fandorin and Malus in that list, but has Fandorin at the bottom and Malus towards the top. Calls Fandorin townie as well. Post #1042 and he adds Terra to the list in #1043. Other notable people in the list: Geno (Town), You (Town), Terra (Town), Fran (Probably Town), Flux (Probably Town), then Monkey and Sorian, who are naturally townie but Faddy always suspects them.
Fandorin agreed with Faddy's read on the Sophia incident, and then hedges on it once Terra got in on it and disagreed. Post #1066.
* Side Note: I found the spot where I gave my read on Turmoil. Post #1087. Some things of note: Blargonaut, shortly thereafter, gave his first "read list" of the day, which did include Turmoil in it, so I almost wonder if he was agreeing with my read there. Natiko quoted me, said he felt a townie vibe from Turmoil once, but wasn't impressed with him overall. Monkey told me to lay off the meta, which she really likes to tell me to do every time I mention a previous game. Might just be her giving me a hard time for not liking meta discussions when I was a newb in GoT though.
Fandorin's kill list if he were to be elected the leader, post #1202:
Terra (Town), Ketkat (Town), Fran (Probably Town), Flux (Probably Town), Zubz (personally Town Reading now), CeeCee (Not Mafia).
One thing of note, he said earlier he was agreeing with Faddy's read of the Sophia incident, hedges it once Terra (his biggest scum read) disagrees with him. And now he adds CeeCee to his kill list here. That's a lot of waffling.
Gives a Scum read to Fran and a Town read to Chugg, but then hedges it and says he doesn't want to discuss it today. Post #1205. Then in the next post he gives Stan a scum read on Terra. In #1254, he clarifies the anti-Terra stance to Sorian.
Thought: He was really big on Terra being Scum. Was this mind poison that perhaps influenced Brazil's decision to take that shot?
He was pushing for a CeeCee lynch, subtly, but he was, after the murder of Emperor Stan. He made some notes about how we shouldn't keep him around. Then later he showed up and was all "Well, if Brazil and everyone else thinks he should stay alive, I guess that's what we should do yeah". Post #2025
Tells Brazil he wants Terra > Ketkat > Brazil (If Terra is Scum) > Pirate Bae in post #2248. Brazil and Pirate Bae were not on his kill list from earlier, so I'm not sure where those came from. Brazil later town read him for putting him on his list with a weird unexplained connection to Terra. Hmmm... brotherly mind games?
He threw shade at me about me changing my mind on Terra, making me look bad while others were discussing me as being scummy at the time, but not taking a stance on me either way. Post #2288. Definitely part of him trying to set me up for a lynch, along with sheeping Saw's "Fantomas is like me when I'm Scum!" read on D2 while still giving me a Lean Town.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So yeah, that sums up his D1, at least of the stuff that stood out to me. Definitely doesn't look good and I am still suspicious of him. I think I was right when I said he was going unnoticed by the thread, he's made some weird posts that are worthy of suspicion, especially in context with the info that we now have after that shit show at the end of D2.
