Quin I'm looking over some stuff before the infamous day 2 fuzz shakedown. Because we all know that was sketch. Is there anything else?
Day 1:
his major suspicion out the gate is ika, and he votes there early as his "temporary vote". His reasoning is that ika swooped in with an unjustified vote in the midst of a discussion about the Don and traitors, and Quin didn't like that. This ika vote makes sense.
The vote stays on ika until 30 minutes before deadline, when he votes Enrique, after not talking about him at all before then. His next few posts call out Enrique for having gut reads but nothing to back it up. Again, very similar to his ika suspicion. Quin isn't a fan of gut reads. Remind me not to consult him when my stomach hurts.
Night 1:
He launches a case against me concerning Tranq's demise because I was Tranq's only detractor to that point. Planting dat seed.
Day 2:
Fuzz conjectures about the possibility of a different place for those arrested because the Warden oversees the prisoners. Then Quin comes in 2 posts later with:
Quin wrote:I had thought that arrested players get put into another thread which consists of the jailmates and probably the warden. Maybe they have some sort of goal to achieve in there?
He sure called it. Now, a civ could have predicted this sure, but to the T? A goal to achieve?
He votes me out the gate because I didn't justify why I found Tranq suspicious and he's holding on to the link between me and Tranq getting NK'd like a poorly trained puppy that refuses to drop the squeaky toy.
Even after I point him towards the justification that he conveniently missed, he's still harping on the Tranq connection.

WIll try to get why. Personally I'm not feeling it very much.

Ika isn't giving anyone anything to work with. It's pretty much the same thing as I saw in Enrique. I don't like seeing accusations and votes thrown around where there is nothing of value to justify it. I get that he said at one point that he's a 'gut player' but that's not an excuse for not backing up your gut reads with something tangible.
He's made quite a few really arrogant posts that we could do without as well, but I feel like that might be going into a more personal territory.
Again, linking ika and Enrique because of lack of gut read. Vote is still on me for now.

Idk, but for some reason I want to lynch both Ika and Wolf.
Is it too late to start another bandwagon?
I'll be returning to my vote on
ika. I'm still pretty determined for Scotty but nobody seems to agree, so I'll come back to him at another point.
back to ika, because it's gaining traction.

well 3 things (kinda 2):
1) when i point things out they tend to be so weak i get clled scum for it
2) the points are weak so scums can easily look more town in a side by side dicussion, silver can atone to that persoanlly
I'll ignore the whole drama aspect of this because it's not relevant and it's only going to derail things.
If you think your reads are weak, you should think about what gaps are missing in your knowledge. Ask counter-questions, make assumptions. Nobody knows anything for sure, so all reads, really, are weak. It's how you justify it that gives it power.
Calling out ika for not justifying votes. "It's how you justify [reads] that gives [the reads] power."
So essentially, he's justifying his read of ika (and marginally, Enrique) on account of ika not justifying his reads. Got it.

I actually disagree with you on all 3 of these vote prospects.
![Haha :haha:](./images/smilies/hilarious.gif)
I haven't seen anything from SVS yet that reads scummy, Epi's response to my questions has satisfied me for now, and I won't be voting ika because I think it's mean.
I was actually leaning towards perhaps a Matt vote, but then he posted this:
Matt wrote:'Sides Golden, Quin is reading funny to me. Can't put my finger on it. Perhaps an ISO is in order!
![Spacedaisy :daisy:](./images/smilies/SD.gif)
And actually Quin read funny to me too. I just ISO'd (oh man, it feels weird to type that and not say I did a Quin re-read) and something felt funny. He kind of jumped around from suspicion to suspicion, not really holding on to any of them, and deciding to change his vote when his previous suspicion didn't gain any traction. Quin, I'm not sure have a concrete question to ask you, but I'd like to hear anything you can provide as to your thinking or developing of suspicions.
Then as I think about it, I wonder if my weirdness meter is actually tweaked because you changed your vote so many times. And that all goes back to my old school ways - one vote and you're done for the day. And I gather that with changeable votes, it seems to be encouraged to move them as many times as you can, making your first few changes null and void. In that case, my not voting yet may look strange to someone used to changeable votes.
I did notice Quin mentioned Enrique, so I'm happy to check there to see if I see what Quin saw. Ah, there I do have my first concrete question for you - How are you feeling about Enrique now? And what changed/affected your mind?
I also think it's a little strange to see the Tranq NA (Night Arrest) and then immediately assume Scotty did it and is a cop, and try to push that idea. Maybe it seems a little opportunistic? Do you still believe that to be the case Quin? (That Scotty NA'd Tranq, that is.)
Planning to look over Golden's posts now to see if anything feels funny. Also cannot wait to see how much linki there will be...
Yep, tons. Will post then read.
I feel as though all of my votes thus far have been pretty well reasoned. With ika on Day 1, I made it clear that I found the initial vote for Silverwolf was suspicious, given the context of the whole traitor/don situation, but I did take Silverwolfs word for it that it was not atypical behaviour for him. My current vote is all about his tight-lippedness. Withholding information like this isn't a town-move.
I am not entirely sure how I think about Enrique, now. His actions in the thread were very fishy to me, from his vote to his justifications, but the way he responded to me when I questioned him felt good to me. I think if I ran out of options I'd return to him, but there are currently better candidates out there at the moment.
I do still have that suspicion for Scotty. People keep saying they disagree, but nobody is presenting any viable alternatives. I can't agree with things like 'too opportunistic' or 'too convenient'. There is a reason why Tranq was the target over somebody else, y'no? I've changed my vote from him on account of this, but I am still adamant on the fact that I believe him to be a good lynch. If you wonder why I'm voting ika instead of Scotty, I'd answer that it's because I don't support a gleam lynch, and I am sufficiently suspicious of ika to warrant hopping on a bandwagon. Well, since Sloonei jumped off I guess that means I'm leading it?
![Goofy :p :goofp:](./images/smilies/Tongue%20out.gif)
Continues to feel his votes are justified. Backs off on Enrique. See, he came down pretty hard on Enrique at the end of day 1, but here he just slaps him on the back of the wrist, and moves on to his biggest suspicion yet again: me.
--------
If Enrique/Boomslang is bad, Quin is a great candidate. Enrique was in no danger of getting lynched D1, and even though Quin keeps him in the periphery of his suspicions, he doubles back with "I'm feeling better about him" on day 2. How convenient. But no matter what I said or how i justified my Tranq vote, he keeps pushing the envelope. Quin continues to read Enrislang as town to this day.
Ika may very well be an outlier in this argument. Quin has kept ika at the forefront with me and if ika were to turn up bad, I regret to say Quin would look good for it. For Quin to vote ika on multiple days, and out of the gate on day 1, and even *pushing* for an ika train on day 2, that's a pretty ballsy move for a scum to make. I will give him that I wouldn't conceive him railroading ika so early and often if ika was scum. So there's that. I was mistaken in my last post.
But I don't think ika should be lynched right now. There's too many unknowns with ika, when I think Quin looks much more suspicious alongside Enrique going back to the Fuzz lynch.
I would very much not like to mislynch today, but this is the guy I have felt strongest about for a while.
