Morning.
I've not read the posts overnight yet, I just want to bring up a couple of points while they are fresh in my head
A) melonrabbit
So I scumread melon yesterday, along with a few others. There are however those who townread her as well (Sorian and Sophia I remember specifically). We now know Sorian is town, so I can trust his read.
Things I don't like
1) The survey she started with, could've been an inventive way she thought would encourage activity, but she never really brought it round to a game-relevant use case. She did it, some people answered then it was sort of forgotten about.
2) She gut read me as scum, but along with Sophia, she ruled out lynching me yesterday completely. Why even bring me up as a scum candidate when you have no intention of targeting me on the day phase? Seems like you're trying to build a case against me out of nothing else than being consistent over a period of time.
3) The acohrs read:
OK, so as a scum I could see myself making a read like this with the fact that acohrs was confirmed scum. You know he's floundering and not doing so well, getting decent heat from others, so I would feel obliged to exclude him from a town section in my read list. I would also be hesitant to put him in a scum read, though I think where this is where I would differ. I'd stick him at the bottom of a scum list with not much explanation. She does the next best thing which is throw appropriate shade, even mentioning a vote on him being possible.
Describing acohrs as neutral is quite interesting because frankly I don't see much logic there as to why. Melon claims she thinks this because he's attracting votes, so I guess she believes he could be a Tanner. So as scum, I see it as a way to throw shade on a team mate without really going all in on him, as neutral...I'm not sure? maybe if you needed acohrs specifically, you'd do something like this or maybe try to divert from you being the genuine neutral article. As town, I really don't think there was much there from acohrs that gave a neutral alignment read.
The other thing about this read is I get the vibe that melon doesn't want to vote him. She mentions it, sure, but it seems just obligatory cause he's getting heat elsewhere and she doesn't want to appear out of the loop.
Last point: She votes CCS for thoughts, but that vote doesn't change before the day ends.
4) The notes. I've covered this but I didn't really see the point apart from trying to show the game how investigative you were being, which is something you'd like to show as scum, it's less important if you're playing Town right.
fun things while searching through posts:
I did chuckle at this. She don't care but cares enough to raise it!
Currently melon is my top scum.
