Okay starting off I think I need to come clean to everyone but especially SK >_>
When I messaged you last night that I was catching up and was on Page 58. Well I lied.... I actually started reading the thread this morning from Page 18 <_<.
So for the past 12 hours I have been catching up with the thread continuously and reading any free time I got.
My reasons I have already stated before in the thread. Up till 15th June I had to complete my research project and that took a lot of my time. Also my wifi was down since 3 days so it took even longer to complete it and made catching up with the thread even harder coz I was on mobile.
Moving on from that. Believe it or not I have actually gone through every single page.. Although I might have skimmed a few posts (From Rej and Toujo). I wanted to post while I was reading the thread but 2 reasons held me back.
1st - If I started quoting posts from the page I was on, SK would have found out I was way behind than I had told him and I did not wanna upset me.
2nd - A lot of events were already pretty old so I didn't wanna dig them up again unnecessarily.
Now to the actual game. I saw a lot of discussion of the setup and how there could be 2 scum teams. I personally think its the 4 scum, 14 town, 2 3rd parties setup.
What I found the most interesting thing reading so far in the game was the event that happened during Day Phase 1 when Poison was in lead and Poison turned out to be scum.
@Just_Red - Agreeing with what she said I think the people that were the first voters for Poison are likely to be town as I don't see any reason why any scum team would wanna shade their own teammate without any pressure right at the beginning of the game. And Poison's role had very strong powers so it would be stupid to waste them like that.
Who caused that explosion has been up for debate. I personally believe it was the Mafia team themselves. I don't see any reason why any 3rd party would be bothered to waste their ability like that.
In the write-up SK wrote everyone's surprise to the explosion except Squad Commander 1's so it could be him that used his power since in the opening of the game he was portrayed as super strong or something. But there was no reaction with him when SC 3 came to thebattlefield either so I could very much be reaching here and be wrong. Still I am gonna stick with the belief that it was a mafia move and not anyone else's.
The Night Phase kill was also interesting. Everyone was roleblocked with only the Mafia leader able to perform a kill. Could be a mafia ability. Could be a town who used it but the Princess was just immune to it. I am not sure about this one since I am not really used to all these complicated powers and roles.
NOW for my reads. I will write my town reads first.
X is my number 1 town read at the moment. Not only because of their vote on Poison from start till end of Day phase but in general with the way they have played.
Just red - I can believe she was busy in the previous phase and I like her posts in this phase.
Tigerr - She has made good posts and played well in this game so far.
As for my scum reads in no specific order.
The first two people that I'd like to mention are the ones that tried to divert attention from the Poison wagon in the previous phase.
That would be
1) Kyte - I just didn't like how they were insistent that Toujo was scum but I can let that slide since you gotta pressure you sus in the game. But what I found the most odd was that post where he mentioned the timing of the event with respect to Ansa's post of how he was logging off. The timing turned out to be way off than he mentioned and I don't think was as relevant at that moment. He's being pressured in this phase so I'd like to his posts addressing these points.
2) Houtarou - I don't know what to think of your plays near the end of last phase.
IIRC you went from not wanting to vote poison to being okay with her getting lynched. You also wanted to lynch glover but at the end settled for Toujo? Idk man seems like you were all over the place and unlike Kyte I didn't even see you try giving good reason to push the wagon on Toujo.
3) Al_Sama - I did not like their giving up attitude when the pressure was on them early in the day phase =. At one point they did say he wasn't gonna defend himself and was okay with getting lynched. I found their posts lacking compared to other people and the fact they decided to abstain from the vote last phase was just odd. I am not too sure on AL but yea. ://
These 4 I don't have much strong reads but if I had to give them an alignment (Not factoring in 3rd party)
Imp - Town
Elmage - Town
Rej - Town ( Idk how this guy always comes off as super scummy but still turns to be town. Its just funny at this point xD)
Ansa - Town
Everyone is welcome to reply to this post and get a discussion going because SK wants a lot of posts from me now and I can't do that if you people don't engage.
Except maybe Rej (coz I just can't read you man) and Toujo ( I do want want to be told the fallacies of my post over and over).
