Cream I’m somewhat familiar with, Psyx I am not. I think they’re not signing their posts, but the early few were all Cream?
I was actually having a conversation with Suit Guy in our chat earlier about this - their early work is very thorough, and I think their bringing up the fact that you used that same JOAT question opener in a previous game is noteworthy (though I never posted it because I got stuck on trying to figure out what the repeated opener said about your alignment).
It’s a slot I’m happy to take as town for now for moving the game forward - they’re reasonable, they reacted to my posts on you with good insight, that sort of thing. I do think they’re potentially aligned with you, especially because of a :crogge: theory in my mind where you provided them that meta, but that would be a bold move that would require you to fear my opening case on you enough to risk exposing a partner, which it doesn’t currently seem like you do.
Jaiden… I’ll never be unbiased on her, for obvious reasons, but I managed to read her as scum pretty well last game around, and she’s very much not falling into those patterns. Obviously, having explained to her exactly what those patterns are negates them a bit, though. Anyway, hedging aside, she feels natural enough and can be towny for now, though my meta on her usually heavily relies on EoD behaviour specifically, and that remains to be seen.
Guava… I don’t know Guava very well, just a chaotic BotF we played, but nothing stands out as something to scumread them on for now. I think not using hydra chat is mildly scummy - it implies a lack of motivation to have… private thoughts, to be doing any deduction beyond what gets you credit in thread, but I recognize it’s also possibly just a playstyle thing. Interesting reaction to my whole case on you, though I try not to fall into my “everyone who agrees with me is scummy” patterns. Too predictable.
Honestly, looking into this slot, I do want a little more scrutiny here, and given my current vote doesn’t serve that much purpose (I was trying to see how SquidSisters would react to me following them [the answer was not at all], and how AerieRaffles would react [the answer was minimally; they went back to the vote I had previously been on, which is Really Making Me Think]).
VOTE: AerieRaffles
I guess it’s more of a nullread but I think a scum player would at least pretend they care about being townread and I don’t even really see that
