...Yeah, okay, this is taking me too long to explain and summarize and quote and link so I'll just go for a blow-by-blow off what I've been reading thus far. Sorry to disappoint.
Firstly, note for the mods: I unvoted Shale in
this post, but this is not reflected in the end-of-day votecount. Please fix, when you see this.
Shale: Aside from late day 2, is... actually pretty solid, has played effectively, all that. We all know the Yelling Bird moment I/he have over late day 2, so unless someone wants me to reference those (willing to do so on request), I'm just going to say... aside from that, there isn't much going on here, and while I wish he would trust his judgment more... it's... not enough for a vote thus far. Pretty much, a vote early day 1 for EvilTom that stayed on, a vote for CK day 2 that stayed on, and Otter's problem raised earlier with his unvote on EvilTom before the end of day 1... no, not really as applicable; that unvote makes sense to me.
Am I backing off of my aggressive stance? Yes. Why? Because, well, the late day 2 part is the only place I really have problems with him, and while I will remember it... I want to look this over far more carefully and not rush into any of this, and in my suspicions over late day 2 I put aside my sentiments over the rest of his play, which... was not good play on my part. And I forgot about the cop reveal on him today, too, until a refresh showed a post mentioning it, which only assists this sentiment (could it be a trick or something else? Sure. Occam's razor for now, though, applies).
Taishyr: Pass for obvious reasons, though if someone -really- wants me to do this one, I have a thesaurus, a dictionary, and a copy of War and Peace that I can go through to look for adjectives describing how awesome this Taishyr fellow is. </snark>
Strago: Mmm. He was the one that actually -started- the push on EvilTom (Shale had the first vote on, yes. This was a joke vote that stayed on); this being said, the reasoning... eh, it's fine for a day 1 get-out-of-joke-vote-votes. Was one of many calling out Otter (did everyone at one point or another? Probably); also called out Shale for the lack of content early day 1. Defends vote adequately. Day 2, comes out swinging against CK and stuck to his guns on this for most of the day... switched vote to Nitori in the interests of lynching someone (it was unclear whether or not we would need majority to lynch at this point). Posts day 3, comments on the results of the day, notes Yakumo's offense on Bobbin Cranbud, further justifies the Nitori vote, comments on Shale's comments toward Kilga (page 25), makes a general comment toward Mad Fnorder to talk more, then votes for Shale, referencing my post (interesting in this is that what triggered my suspicion was Excal's post at Shale, which was not referenced by Strago. Not sure what this means). After that is Yakko's claim, which Strago goes along with and votes for Bobbin Cranbud on, and made a post today commenting more on the mass of investigative roles.
...The general reading of his actions give me... a null read. I'm really not sure how to approach the Bobbin Cranbud post, which in retrospect kinda says "he has a power I won't say what lololololol." So, discarding that for the present... mmm, the EvilTom and CK push both forced a roleclaim, and CK died as a result, if indirectly. On the other hand, both times, he's stuck to his guns fairly clearly, moving almost on necessity (again, lynch uncertainty) day 2, and day 3 when a better case seemed to pop up. Mmm. Yeah, null read, maybe slight town read but... yeah, I'm just not getting much in terms of read, here.
Give me time to do the rest, but...mmm. Two votes Excal, one vote Mad Fnorder? I was originally just going by the list in the first post, but I can move them to the front of the line, I suppose, though Fnorder by virtue of being a substitute will have less analysis, since I see little point in giving IhatethisCPU's posts more than one quick glanceover.
