an ISO by Strawsby, Stills, Nash, and Henge
POST-BY-POST NOTES
- An early interaction with a current primary suspect, tedxtr. This would mostly only be noteworthy if ted flipped scum, but as of now it's only noteworthy that one of our primary suspects felt the need to respond to how fingersplints voted for 6PM on D0. Mostly null.
- This post seems like genuine praise and excitement for the propensity of this crew to get right into things on D0, citing a time that D0 scumhunting found a scum on D1. Looks good; hopefully there will be followthrough.
- As a separate note, in the above-linked post ('discussing old rules/etiquette'), she held up well when Long Con got defensive. Side-note: Weird how defensive Long Con got there.
- Another good exchange with Long Con, where she refutes LC's claim that Mafia wouldn't vote for the same person in a situation like that (I believe it was for voting for BoKnows).
- Calls TSP out for being all over the place wrt Marmot. It looks even better considering it's before Marmot's chop. Seems like she genuinely took notice of something strange and based her suspicion off it. In her next post, she names TSP as her primary suspect, then votes for him in the next post. This feels like the aforementioned followthrough I was hoping for on her part.
- It is interesting, though, that in her reads list she lists MacDougall in her POE. When Jay asks for follow-up, she gives a more neutral read. Not sure what to make of that, especially in conjunction with her behavior hitherto. Mostly null, but my eyebrow did its thing.
- Responds well when SPF brings up, in my opinion, a pretty weak case against her. Finger's explanations are very clear and candid and give me vibes of a towny defending themselves.
- Gives kind of a meh reaction when asked how she felt about AL_sama. Oh, and this was an interaction with Marmot. Perhaps her only interaction with Marmot. Since she doesn't have a boatload of posts in this game, not interacting directly with Marmot more than once doesn't really mean anything to me.
- Another sound reaction when called out for pretty much what I just dismissed in the above item. Falcon got on her for her lack of Marmot interactions and finger defended herself well.
- Maybe her towniest post, tone-wise, is this one. Maybe some might disagree, and maybe I'm basing this off of dusty old memories of yesteryear, but this feels like a towny trying to rein everyone in and remind them that we shouldn't outright trust all these roleclaims. Scum tend to glom onto roleclaims because of how the information can be used.
- And another sound reaction when Alison reacts to the post in the above item. It looks to me like two townies with different playstyles clashing for a moment, but it's notable at this point how consistent finger is with how she approaches things.
- Everything else noteworthy in her ISO is repeating herself, very consistently, when people ask her for or challenge her reads, etc.
FINGERSPLINTS + MARMOT
As noted, only interacted directly once and it was null—due mostly in part to finger not having a billion posts with a billion interactions with everyone. She
did, however, and still
does, have a suspicion of TSP regarding how
he interacted with Marmot. I think this looks good.
FINGERSPLINTS + JAGGEDJIMMYJAY
Early on in the thread I noticed that fingersplints almost had a buddying interplay with Jay. She would comment on things he said to other players, and reference his reads. Worth noting, in case something suspicious comes up later. As it looks right now, finger looks like a poster who doesn't have the time to contribute a huge amount of posts, sees an obvious supertown Jay, and is picking up what he's putting down.
FINGERSPLINTS + MACDOUGALL
This is probably the most eyebrow-raising part of fingersplints's ISO. Searching her ISO for 'MacDougall' brings up exactly three posts, where the third is a quote of the first in reference to, incidentally, me. That first post is a reads list where she puts MacDougall in her POE and the second post is where Jay asks her about it, and she says, 'Actually he's more of a neutral read.' Hmm.
LONG STORY SHORT
Overall fingersplints looks townish to me. Not a huge amount of posts to go off of, but the vast majority of them look like an earnest towny who's trying to approach the game as pragmatically as possible.
