Okay so people on Geno aside from me are VA, Random, Kopite, Bojack, Zook, LP, and Zipped. Wiz, Nat, and Thorny were all there at one point, but hopped off.
VA's vote is placing a vote for Geno just to have a vote down. It's not an amazing vote, but honestly I think all of VA's post catching up with the thread and reacting to stuff have felt pretty townie. He's pretty good at having his townie vibe come across as scum too, so he's someone to keep an eye on, but I'm not worried too much about this slot.
Random seemed to be on the same page as me and Nat in regards to what Geno was posting. I feel like his presence was missed at EoD, but he said he was going to miss it. I think he's come across as mostly townie in the game, and I don't think the vote really changes that for me. I think I'm always going to be a bit paranoid about Random because he's real good at blending as scum, but I don't feel like going down that road.
Kopite's isn't amazing either but honestly, I think this is the best I've felt about Kopite in a game this early on. Like the questions he's been asking, and I like that he's engaging with people. Not a strong town read there for me, but he's not one I'm worried about.
Bojack, Zook, LP, and Zipped are the late voters.
Zook I'm not going to bother with and LP and Zipped seem to be trying to avoid the tie. I think scum LP and Zipped could have found a place to park that didn't tie them to a town flip so I'm not really stressing about those slots too much right now. Bojack is kind of interesting in that his vote pushes Geno back into the lead, but I think he's felt decently townie. Probably worth looking at if Melon or nin flips scum though.
Wiz hops on because he says Geno doesn't seem like he cared that Fate died and this was real early game. Seemed to be convinced by the Geno case later in the day. Hops off near the end stating that it feels town vs. town and then votes melon just to cause a tie which is kind of weak. Doesn't like that, moves back onto Geno saying he could go you but doesn't care, and then makes a post about how he's not going to give town points to Geno for self preserving and votes you. I don't know, I feel like Wiz has come across as pretty townie but this vote movement kind of doesn't look great. Him ending up off wagon with basically no push on you at all just seems convenient although I think me thinking your town now is doing some legwork here. I might try to do an ISO here later.
Nat votes for Geno because he feels like he hasn't been doing much, but later switches to nin. Throws some shade Wiz's way, but there's not really an attempt to get nin going here. Don't really love this much either.
Throny goes Geno, second guesses herself and votes Melon instead. Honestly don't hate this too much. I think Bojack's point about her for being town was pretty spot on. When I was talking to her about the Mary/Gary thing the thought that kept going through my head was that scum wouldn't be this convinced that the mary/gary stuff meant nothing.
Conclusion: I'm not convinced on this and I want to do a deeper dive into both of them but if I had to guess I think Nat and Wiz are the scum here and Nat's softball push on Wiz this whole phase has been a bus. Might try to push Wiz tomorrow while keeping the connection close to my chest to see what happens. Would recommend keeping a look out on if Nat keeps pushing Wiz with no real teeth behind the push.

Melon voters are Sorian, nin, you, and Thorny with Wiz hopping off later. Already talked about Thorny and Wiz and I'm pretty sure you're town so that's not important so we'll look at the other two.
Sorian seems pretty unsure but throws a vote down here anyway. Honestly it's not a bad vote. Feels honest which are the good vibes.
nin locks it in early on Melon because he thought how she was acting earlier was suss. Don't love that he played like this, but it's a pretty nin thing to do so that's NAI. Him not going Geno here is worth noting and I think it makes the early vote look better because he did it on a wagon he wasn't sure was going to take off.
The people on this at the end of the day might be pure. Not really seeing an obvious scum.

nin voters are Malus, Nat, and Fran with LP and Melon hopping off there at some point.
Nat has an earlier vote on nin that I also don't think is all the impressive before ending back up there later.
Malus throws a vote down on nin without much reasoning but he talked about wanting to get there earlier. He lightly defends Geno a bit, but isn't around for EoD so we don't get too much out of him. I could honestly see it going either way of Malus, but nothing is really jumping out as bad for me here.
Fran's vote is good. Feels like he believes it and he sticks to it, and it's pretty consistent with what he's been pushing throughout the day. It's also just a very fran place to end up.
People have been throwing shade LP's way all day phase and I think they're just wrong. I think his votes good here and he goes in a bit why he thinks the Geno vote won't end up great. I've noticed LP seems a lot more tuned into when a town kill isn't going to go our way in recent games and I honestly probably should have listened to him here. He tries to get a Thorny push going when people suggest looking there which tracks for how he seemed to think this was panning out.
Melon ends up voting for nin, but I think the interesting thing is she really REALLY isn't super interested in Geno and doesn't seem to want to vote there even when she's in danger. Ends up going Thorny later instead of Geno even when she's in the danger zone. I already didn't really think she's scum and I think this has her come out looking better.
Again, this kind of points me toward Nat.

Going to just talk about the 4 people I haven't yet here because this is a lot.
Jman is voting for you with Wiz, Wee is off wagon on VA, Darkside and Muffin aren't voting.
Jman is being Jman. Don't know if that's worth getting into.
Wee votes VA. Honestly don't hate this either. Think a lot of people didn't care for that PIK, and I do get why because I didn't really either. Doesn't really take off, but it's around the time people were looking for alt wagons, and I don't think she cared for the current ones so I'll give this a pass for now even though this feels like something I would normally side eye pretty hard.
Darkside has a vote for Wee than an unvote later. If he's town this will be his first time playing town so I want to keep that in mind because the vote for Wee isn't great. Mostly is scum reading her on some knee jerk things she said early day 1. It's one of the few things Nat brings up when he's catching up to thread later in response Darkside unvotes, says he doesn't like the Geno vote, and then he doesn't vote again for the rest of the day. Again, this kind of looks like some softball busing here from Nat.
Muffin doesn't vote but is around and posting near EoD. It's not a great look but honestly not something I'm worried about at the moment. He does feel kind voidish still but I feel more comfortable with these other connections.
So yeah, I think coming out of this Nat, Darkside, and Wiz come out looking the most not great, but I want to look more into them a bit more.
