Ok, after looking at the roleclaims today + my summery from yesterday, I now have a top 3 list for scum and why! Unfortunately for each one I also have a reason why I absolutely don't want to lynch them . Can't have everything I suppose.
1. Lewwyn
I think my thoughts on him in my summery on him adequately sum up my thoughts on his play so far - looking for easy targets rather than scum. However, his roleclaim throws my votes on him up in the air, because if we are wrong about lynching him (and lets face it, based on my lynching record I probably am wrong) we could potentially lose our doctor or our cop, which would be potentially disastrous for town. It could hurt the scum by taking out their role, but given that scum have not won yet the odds are in their favour that it would hurt us more than them.
2. Meiz
Meiz really hasn't made many posts that convince me he is innocent. His posts today don't have many of his own thoughts in them, which is odd as at this point I find it incredibly unlikely that he would have few reads of his own to post. Most of his cases these days revolve around the theories of other people, which is an easy way to separate oneself from a mislynch. My hesitation to vote him is twofold - One, he might be our only doctor and scum probably don't have a strongman based on the night 1 results, and two, my number one suspect is voting for him. Kind of hard to go after a guy with that kind of backup, right?
3. Rowain
Rowain has grown to feel more and more like villager to me. The mass roleclaim has given us more info than I though it would, and his play has involved less mudslinging than it did day 2. However, I still can't get past the PGO claim as something I heavily dislike. In my mind this role is the perfect alibi for scum, no need to explain his night actions and a permeant shield from any and all cops the town might have. The role still feels like too perfect of a scum role, although scum would probably claim it later so that is probably a point in his favour.
Also, on the topic of people being suspicious of me for changing my mind, what exactly do you want me to do? Make reads and stick to them forever no matter how circumstances change? Post a 500 word essay and get approval from 6 confirmed town players before I can make a decision? I find it incredibly annoying how this essentially prevents me from going back on my previous choices if I change my mind, and I hope that the one thing that people get from my posts is that I think a lot about the game between them, and almost every player in the game could be viewed by me as scum or town depending on which I assume they are, I.E. confirmation bias is much stronger than how I feel about anyone's play in a vacuum right now.
