Yup, gotta do it in all one tab. Lame.
Did a deep dive into Melkor. I'll begin by saying that a scum census feels weird, but its not necessarily impossible particularly in a game with big third party/second town/second mafia factions (ie purple) and multiple other third party roles (according to his own census).
The gist of this readback is that I just find how Melkor spoke about Pero in the thread pretty weird:
Wants people to know that he voted Pero. Feels like claiming town points early for if/when Pero flips scum.
TMI? Like, this is true, particularly in a Grammaton game, but I don't know why he'd know this or be so staunch on it.
First part is what matters. Again, making it obvious he started the wagon on Pero. He wants to claim it very badly.
Again, focus on Pero, and for someone who has scumread Pero, you'd think he'd have paid enough attention to see whether he'd claimed or not.
Pretty comfortable way to keep clean of being linked to Arp. Asking for Pero claim stuff again. Pero is clearly top of his mind yet he still hasn't gone back and iso'd for the stuff he's looking for? It feels like he's tried to act like he wasn't incredibly aware of Pero to know whether he claimed (distancing) yet simultaneously needs someone to confirm this so he can be like "oh, he should probably do that" and move on.
This was in response to me calling him out for being awkward around pero. Very, very defensive. Immediately accuses me of being coached by scum and votes me. Feels like an easy opportunity to jump off the pero thing (he's got his town points for pero now in his eyes) and move attention away.
This post is just odd in how it lays out exactly why his vote has moved again. Feels like a manufactured post.
Yup, needs to explain why he jumped onto my wagon so eagerly. Conscious that it doesn't look good?
Needs to shake the association with trying to shift the focus onto me. Definitely doesn't want to be linked to it.
Hedging "his claim looked good, but he could still fake it" - doesn't want to show too much support for Pero for when he flips, but trying to rationalise how he could potentially be pro-Pero.
Yup, back onto me. This is the lynch he wants to happen lol.
I also found it weird that his census post was his third post upon the new day - over 30 minutes after he first posted. Why would he not unveil it straight away? Might be reaching here though.
It's also weird that he's seemingly forgotten about me here and is looking elsewhere. Ekko and Kagura.
And now he's brought Dofla in too alongside Pero. I believe at this point Pero was already being discussed as someone we should still be focused on so he couldn't no-sell Pero.
