Do you have any town leans? Ty being town was a bit gutting because I was really hoping the people voting him could be town leaned but nope. So I'm struggling with that, I think Shirou is likely town but after that I have nothing really, just now suspicions. I wish I stuck with my Nin suspicion now.
I have outright town reads on Neki and Shirou.
It's cheating because I'm friends with them but I really don't think Neki could be townier if he were trying.
Shirou, on the other hand feels like he's trying, but it also feels genuine to me. His questions don't feel as aimless as they did when I criticised him last game, and he
did not want ty4on to give up.
Honestly after our chat tonight I'm pretty much wanting to place you there too, so if you were trying to pocket me, good job.
I have a town lean on Dr. Monkey, it felt like she was getting in the middle of things and trying to solve. She was very much pushing that 7 scum thing at the end which makes me a little wary, but most of what I've read from her feels like it's been thought through.
I've got a town lean on Nin as well. I can see where you're coming from, it does feel like a very different game for him, but he felt sincere to me. I hadn't actually realised he didn't have a vote down though. That is iffy and after all his prodding back and forth all day asking other people where they were planning to look I'm surprised he ended up without something down himself.
I'm less certain about Maol, it still trips me up when he's actually getting along with people, but there were hints of the more brusque Maol I'm more used to seeing in there from time to time.
I absolutely would not have voted for him yesterday because I
do feel he was instrumental in keeping things going, and I want to think that's a towny action, but he's very much much someone I'm going to be watching because I'm not really sure.
In terms of trying to separate out the rest of the pack, I feel pretty good about Stan and SkyOdin, but not really for a defined reason. It might just be because they actually tried to engage with me at various points during the day which is... not the best reason, honestly.
The Ty flip makes me more suspicious of people than increasing possible town lean which sucks. Everyone in this train needs to be treated with suspicion which includes myself, however I feel like the earlier votes are more suspect than the later ones. Why? Because Ty got more suspicious to me the longer the day went on with him not putting up a defence, getting fixated on defending the "like 7 scum" part, which by the way if people were scum reading Ty for should also be scum reading Faddy for? Anyway, the longer he went without a reveal the more suspect he became, by the end of the day I honestly thought at worst he'd be a neutral, with a scum possibility. Therefore I think it was easy for scum to get on this vote, but the earlier ones felt more suspect simply because the argument Ty was having early in the day gave them an easy in.
I'm with you, there are absolutely scum on that train. There practically have to be. I don't necessarily think they were all on there early though, there's probably a point where a train like that feels like a safe option. I'm terrible at working through that sort of vote analysis though, I see people do it in thread every time and I never entirely follow why they're so sure things have to be that way.
The other train on Zeke is interesting.
Honestly a Zeke train on D1 is almost as lazy as a Sparks train on D1. There's rarely anything in it because Zeke just doesn't tend to engage that early.
It might actually be notable that he took enough umbrage to the comments against him to argue against it more seriously. I might have to look back at how he reacted to his D1 train in the Fate game because I really can't recall offhand.
I think I'm going to be interested in seeing what Faddy does today after your comments on him.
