Corrik: I don't think he had any reason to do his claim yesterday and make the arguments he did as scum. Very interested to see if he comes in today with a new analysis after seeing that Red was the reason no one claimed Cop when he asked for it.

Isquen: The weakest read of the above. I think Isquen could have taken free dates yesterday like Ulti's. But even at end of day, Isquen was being picky about his date. Maybe there's some scum role that explains this behavior and didn't want to date Vanilla Ulti, but my initial interpretation here is that Isquen was acting in a townie manner. Isquen is maybe bottom of Town/Top of PoE list.

That's the other thing bothering me about Corrik. Corrik's reasoning for believing cop would have come forward was first based upon the assumption that cop would necessarily be single use, an assumption which was false. But second it was predicated on the fact that the cop would definitely have seen his post and agreed that claiming was necessary. This is a bold assumption when he himself missed many hundreds of posts and had to be reminded of many of the basic events of the days discussions. If the roles were reversed and corrik were the cop he wouldn't have even seen the message insisting he come forward and provide info!

Regarding isquen I think it's highly likely that scum will want to give the impression that they are reluctantly pairing up with someone. Either to justify pairing with a scummate in a less scummy way or to prove to a town date that they also have a reasonable amount of doubt. I don't think we ever got to a point day 2 where is was 3 unpaired between isquen, Ulti and 1 other which would have been a more significant test of isquen's resolve. That's partially my fault for putting red back into the dating pool though. I still believe it was correct to do that, but it had a side effect of ensuring everyone would have an out they could take if needed.
