If you want to save Lunalee you have options. Or are you afraid of over committing to your read?

I cased Lunalee earlier. Responses to that varied. Go take a look. Otherwise I need to take my own look.

This does not look like the same Lunalee who was just mislynched in IASIP. She seems much more nonchalant this time around, which isn't much of a tell in itself. I could see it being a response to a scum rolecard, but I don't need to see it that way. This post raises my eyebrows:

Lunalee wrote: ↑Tue Mar 19, 2019 11:18 am I feel like I need to pick a side to break the Pou/Mac tie. Mac looks pretty good, but he's been silent the past few pages where as pou has been actively defending herself. Regardless of alignment, that always makes someone look worse. But I don't think she's scum for it.

[VOTE: MacDougall] aubergine

There is an expressed sense of obligation to produce a read that doesn't feel natural or necessary. The read itself feels like it sort of stumbles along to an unfinished conclusion ("x always makes someone look worse, but not this time.")

I'd be more inclined to lynch Luna than Quin or Mac. #saveaustralia

are you up to speed with sloonei's latest contributions?

Yes, as I said I had mixed feelings about his exchange with pou but he's still a net negative. His three isos in a row overnight felt a bit like forcing himself to look town/like he's hunting and just showing some busy work.

ooh, you know I sort of thought the same thing when I saw those random ISOs.

"sort of thought" is a pretty timid way to frame this accusation. Care to expand on your sort of read of me, Luna?

Now I'll start trying to actually catch up.

I feel like DF could have given the reason, "Because I'm scum and couldn't care less who gets lynched," and it would read the same way.

Light shade of DF. I don't hate this, but it lacks a definitive stance. @Lunalee GTH read on DF, go.

So relateable. Hit me with your suspicions.

dunya, sloonei, nutella all seem vaguely scummy but I'm missing a lot of context

I noted dunya calling out specifically nutella about their read on jack of hearts when I'm not sure if nutella/jack of hearts has any specific relevance to dunya (or whether it should)

3. followed by this vote:

Calling out people as good or scummy with no real reasons looks like something mafia would do.

Let us review Lunalee's recent entrace in IASIP (in which she was town):

Lunalee wrote: ↑Mon Mar 11, 2019 12:04 pm I think I'll try Jay's "find the town instead of the scum" strategy this game. I think it will be easier for me.

Why is this strategy acceptable for Jay and Luna, but not ts account?

She has since plopped an unexplained vote on DDL and nothing else. I'd like it if Luna came here and explained some things. Are Lunachuck bad again? (congrats again on the big news tho. really happy for you two. scum.)

[VOTE: MacDougall] aubergine

I sense some mental gymnastics happening here to end up with a vote on the lead wagon.

This is my favorite point. I wasn't a fan of that post of hers.

nah, that's one of the towniest posts she has. she's definitely one with experience and it felt like lunalee related with pou. do you know how many times a game lunalee gets to be on the defensive side of a game and everything she says is flipped around? i've never seen a game where it hasn't happened, repeatedly. even after the woman role claims she's still suspected and has to defend her decisions and posts.

if anything, that post made me feel like civ lunalee is feeling sorry for someone who's actively trying to defend herself and falling on deaf ears. macdougall isn't even trying to defend. i like her rationale very much.

Why did she feel obligated to vote for either Mac or poutanko?

Why has anyone ever broken a tie? Maybe she believed they couldn't both be two leading town bandwagons. I dont know. I dont suspect her for it.

I was sort of mystified by that as well. But to answer pou, I'm not sure what more you want from me. I have been posting my thoughts whenever I have been around and responding to anything I feel inspired to respond to.

Anyway my vote should not be on jack anymore lol. I think it is going to one of sloonei, ddl, quin, and speed.
