I'm re-reading both Kalor and Meatwad now - I think my vote will be between the two of them today. But I'm starting with Kalor because he pushed back and said he townread VA/Zeke until today and that was not the sense that I had throughout the game so I wanted to pursue it a little more.
Kalor starts the game by pushing on VA's "I'm town!" post.
Provided you are telling the truth, how does that benefit town in anyway?
I wasn't saying it would benefit town. Even if it wasn't a joke I was trying to see how they would justify it because I can't think of any reasoning for it. I've played enough games at this point that I don't really take potential claims like that as jokes, especially one worded like that when it could have went both ways, and it creates a potential discussion point either way. I have played with Vincent before but I have 0 memory of them doing that before, though apparently they have.
So Kalor pushed on a little thing and then kinda overexplained it. The second post was after Fran questioned him.
For the other popular lynch votes right now, Meatwad has been lower activity but their Turmoil vote is weird. Unless I missed it I don't believe they had a reason for it. Just sort of happened.
Vincent I see the justification for but don't feel inclined to vote for them myself.
This post strikes me as weird. I keep going back and reading around it because it sounds like it's in conversation or a continuation, right? But it's not. It comes right after a vote count post and all I can think is that suddenly Kalor felt like he needed to justify his vote. But this doesn't strike me as a townread on VA? Just "I'm not voting there right now."
Than on to day 2 - this is him being asked about Fran.
I didn't feel strongly enough to vote for them. That'll be one of my reread areas today.
Thing is, I don't get the sense Kalor has felt strongly about anything at all. Later, Gorlak pushes on Kalor with a reminder that he promised to reread Fran and we get this:
Did I? I have no memory of that or any reminders of it. I'm not sure what to make of Fran. They'd be one of the players that fall into my "No clue" category right now.
So he didn't feel strongly enough about Fran to vote there - then later he has no read on Fran at all. There's a difference there, a shift in language. These are not the same things.
I haven't been on this "tip" for a few days. I was fairly sure they were town prior to today, hence why I didn't vote for them before.
So we're back to this. I do not get the impression Kalor felt particularly strongly about VA/Zeke. There's one post putting them into a town category and then otherwise it's back and forth. And with the justification post to Zeke, this is what we get. But he hasn't voted for Meatwad, either, despite this suspicion.
I'm not trying to intentionally avoid it, just haven't had the time to reread them, but I have now. At the time, I picked you over Meat because you were fresher on my mind. Honestly there was no real reason other than that. My suspicion of Meat rests on a couple of areas, the weird way votes against them on day 1 were treated and the lack of them taking a firm stance on anything, seen in this post as an example.
This is somewhat lacking compared to how long it took me to finally write something but my feelings have shifted enough since the start of the day that I don't feel as willing to vote for you right now
Unvote
But what has Kalor found? Do we know how he feels?
This is why I pointed out his soft vote on Zeke. It's not Kalor's style. He's not using his votes as prods, pressure, or weapons; he's not even really putting them on his scum reads. So that move today came out of nowhere. Certainly there's not a vote on Meatwad. Why not? He's laid the groundwork for it. He seems to scumread Meatwad.
I think they're partners.
