Crescent-Moon posted... Hiya. 5tar is scum. Let's go over why~ In Phoenix Wright Mafia, his presence on day 1 was clearly on the outside looking in. He spoke more in absolutes to establish his presence and did not push the needle very much. Compare this to the other recent games he's been in, where he was far more effective a presence day 1. In IGCD's game, I got into it with him pretty early, after he went after Aecioo. I never saw any sign of that fire or care reading his day 1 posts this game. He asked one meaningful question of another player the entire time, and made a few hard-read statements on people. Compare this to last game as well, where he notably said late in the day that he had no hard reads at all.
5tar voted for Chris early this game for weak, stretching reasons, then tried to retroactively justify the vote, then quickly removed the vote anyway, to which he drew pressure from Chris. Nothing 5tar said convinced me there was a scumhunting mindset behind this vote. This led to a vote from MZero on 5star, who has done very little himself. Now, while on the surface the vote looks like MZero is probably not scum with him, it brings up another issue. First though, the vote:

I think Scare looked bad but not scum. I think he looks bad to everyone outside of his mind space because Im assuming he had a very specific response he expected from Tange and he got something very different. To me it looked like Range didnt want to do Scares work for him which by itself isnt alignment indicative.
The problem is to everyone else that wasnt that big a deal and Scare could easily have done it himself, but to Scare it ticked a box in his head that nobody else saw.
I think hes probably town.
I think Balla is attempting to look busy.
I think Chris is either scum or not bothered, Corrik could be using this as an opportunity to eliminate Chris early without wasting a kill or he could just think Chris is scum. Chris has town cleared a lot of people so far.
##vote: Chris This to me reads as "Let's throw a vote on Chris to look like I'm being edgy".
The fact that both of them have not made a single meaningful contribution to the game since that vote makes it likelier to me that scum MZero was tossing a vote on his teammate in order to look better later. It's highly curious at best that both of those players just happened to vanish into the ether immediately following the MZero on 5tar vote.
If I had to take a guess, I think scum tried to kill Chris night 1, Chris got saved, and 5tar is an afraid that Chris will murder him the moment he tries to do anything. That part is just speculation of course~
While the initial inclination at the end of day 2 was to think Balla is scum, Balla's level of arrogance worries me into thinking that may have been a town/town lynch. Like... Nobody died night 1, and he openly mocked Chris for not dying night 1. From my admittedly limited experience on the matter, statements like that usually come from arrogant town who don't really care about the game. Scum generally doesn't think about making a post like this:

member when he was supposed to die N1 cause he's such a good player?

Yeah. It was weird.
Balla you should claim if you haven't.
I find this statement to be questionable though. Corrik's response was in a position to be more calculated, and his response was to call Chris not dying, on a night with no deaths, "weird", and to demand Balla's claim. He both provides Balla fuel on Chris and demands his claim. He also ends the day on an obviously meaningless splinter, again. I currently think Corrik is more likely to be scum than Balla. My current theory is that the lynch was town/town, and scum Corrik avoided it. He did nothing to end day 1 or 2 but sit there and demand claims. He did little resembling an attempt to help town lynch scum on either day, and has ended both days on an Hb splinter.
5tar is a dead obvious vote for me. Corrik is probably scum. MZero is probably scum. Chris is probably town. Balla is probably town. Lea's low energy worries me, but she is probably town. I feel like scum Lea would try to manipulate the flow of the game more. This feels like she's town that wants other people to solve the game for her. I would also say it feels consistent with how she was acting near the end of Simpsons Mafia.
I will say though, when reading the end of day 1, I thought Puns and Panthera were both scum. I just don't quite trust Panthera to call him town.
Balla's read is based almost entirely on his end of day 2 arrogance. I don't have any real problem with the way he prodded and eventually voted for Red. I've seen that sequence of posts before. It looks so badly scummy, and half the time it comes from town. One thing here is the vote itself was unnecessary. The only reason Red almost lived is because of how bad that vote looked in the first place and how many votes it drew to Balla.
Anyone I haven't mentioned I either have no definitive read on or did not do a dedicated search of/pay enough attention to. I read the last hours of both days, and various things in between, but I did not read every post in the game because I didn't want to risk overloading myself. I didn't anticipate writing a wall to begin with, and I think there's a chance I might be dead before I even get a chance to talk. There could be something critical I've overlooked (especially regarding Balla), so feel free to point me in a direction on something to read.
##Vote: Star
He is far and above my #1 scum read. Except this part just got messed up, due to that replace.
...##Vote: Plum
Don't care. Replaced my #1 scum read.
I am gonna post all of Crescent's instant walls every day hold up. Let me analyze them.
