Title: Lemonfairy's Legacy (draft version 1)
As you all know, I am a lemon. However, many of you may not know that I was organically grown without synthetic fertilizers or pesticides.
Because of this, my lifespan is limited and I am prone to shriveling after Day 1 and growing moldy around Day 3/4.
To combat this phenomenon, I have decided to write a legacy/will both for entertainment and to leave a trace of myself in this cold, unfeeling world.
I will give general thoughts/impressions and an attempt at a read for my fellow colleagues of the East Facility. I will start with a (mostly) unordered list of people who are or were on my wagon and then move on to the remaining people who were in the East Facility. Then I shall attempt to do the same with people who hail from the West Facility, though I doubt this list will be as illuminating since I have not had as much contact with these people. Finally, I shall attempt to make 2 ordered lists of everyone (separated by Facility) for clarity.
Part I: East Facility
People on Lemon's wagon
This feels like something I must talk about not only because they are or were voting me, but because FMPOV the wagon felt abrupt and unsubstantiated. Rather than there being a case against me, as I'd presume would be the case when a lot of people are convinced that a person is scum, I personally think the reasons provided here aren't all that solid. Additionally, rather than being for pressure or exploratory, the wagon has been rather stagnant and has only grown since my last appearance. Despite my sadness and surprise that so many of my East Facility comrades wish to kill me, I do think this wagon has been... illuminating.
The people who are on or were on my wagon are: Sloonei, nutella, WindwardAway, NANOOKTHEGREATANDFEARSOME, Dyslexicon, Davos.
Sloonei is from the West Facility so I will comment on them later.
WindwardAway - Windward would actually be the towniest out of everyone on Lemon's wagon. In my past read lists, I have consistently placed her in the lowest group of reads until I moved her up on Day 2. The initially reason was because she felt awkward and out of place in a thread where most people were vibing and having a good time but in hindsight, that could have been because she just wasn't in the mood. Later on, due to tensions in the thread in the East Facility between Windward/Alison/Sabi, I consciously or unconsciously refrained from progressing with my read on her (it's easy to misread people when they're riled up/emotional). I went back to ISO Windward at a later time and eventually moved her up to townleans.
Now with regard to my wagon, Windward is probably the only person, out of everyone on that wagon, who has actually tried to interact with me. She has quoted and pinged me more than once to ask about my reads. If I think about it, the only other people who have done this are Michelle and Creature, who have both flipped town. Other than these, there is Cape, who I think is one of the few people who actually reads my posts (more on this later). While I do accept that I have been relatively closed off in my own world, I also think it's really easy for scum (and also town) to push me without trying to understand where I'm coming from when I post my reads.
nutella - nutella, nutella, I'm waffling a bit on nutella. Initially, I vibe-read her as town from her relaxed demeanor in thread while dropping reads (I townread a bunch of people for similar reasons to this during Night 0). Later on, I thought her tinfoil of me and Cape being w/w was interesting as it was something no one else brought up before and seemingly came out of nowhere. Although I thought her reasons - that me and Cape vibed together and were mutually townreading each other - were a stretch, I liked that she was looking out for these kind of things. I didn't really re-eval nutella after this until Day 2.
In my latest list, I moved nutella to the very top with Creature and said I wouldn't really change my read there unless something drastic happens. This was because I saw a post from nutella scumreading Rondo (who flipped town) because one of Rondo's post said something along the lines of "no 0-poster has ever been encouraged to post after seeing a ping and vote on them in thread" about Lime Coke. nutella believed this could indicate that Rondo was scum because they had TMI that Lime Coke was town and did not have access to scumchat, where scumpartners could ping them about the vote. Lime Coke later flipped mafia, which showed nutella's lack of TMI, hence my shiny no-take-back TR on her. The only wrench in this that I hadn't considered was if this game is a multiball, which some people from the West Facility have suggested. In that case, nutella would only be unpartnered with Lime Coke, and could still be mafia or some other evil faction.
As I've mentioned before, nutella being on my wagon doesn't really surprise me. What does make me squint is that she initially paired me with Cape and admitted the scumread on me was weaker but now she doesn't scumread Cape but I've been dropped to the bottom. The reason for scumreading me is because I've been "blending in". Rather than blending in, I think it's more like because I have not been very active and not many people have engaged with the read lists I occasionally post, I have not been memorable.
Nanook - I initially vibe townread Nanook in the East Facility (I don't think I had a read on them N0) because he said something about leaving the thread to go play a game but still dropped some town reads. Following that, a few of the reads they called out as the thread progressed, aligned pretty well with what I was thinking while reading/backreading. Of particular note is the one calling Michelle lock town and un-pushable, which was also around where I solidified my TR on Michelle after coming around from a short-lived instinctive OMGUS. I didn't really actively re-eval Nanook after that. I know a few people were surprised that Nanook was so high up on my reads lists but I think I also unconsciously set a pretty low bar for Nanook because I saw him scum once in another game and I don't think he shared any reads the entire time and just muddled along until he got voted out.
Nanook's vote on me was... interesting. It's like he was talking with Dizzy and then their brain waves magically resonated together and they both voted for me. Just check Nanook's relatively short ISO in the East Facility and no mention of scumreading me. IDK, it's a mystery.
Dyslexicon - Dyslexicon was initially a vibe townread for me. Why? Uncaring attitude, alignment with reads, general vibes. I found Dyslexicon to be a level/neutral voice amid the initial tension-filled thread of the East Facility. I thought their posts helped or at least tried to help diffuse the conflict and I found that towny. Because as mafia, it would be too easy to just sit by the side and not intervene. In fact, it would be advantageous for scum to
not intervene because a conflict-filled thread is not conducive to solving. Later on, they dropped a bit in activity and I also noticed their reads didn't change from what I remember their reads were when they first entered the thread (Porscha, Tony, and nutella are towny) so I dropped them in my reads. At this time, I had Alison, Dyslexicon, and DarlingMonroe in the lowest group on my list. Alison (who flipped town) already had 5 votes and between Dyslexicon and Monroe, Dyslexicon felt like the spicier vote so I did vote there Day 2 but no one else did so it didn't do anything and then I thought EOD was 24hrs later so I didn't end up moving either.
Dizzy's vote on me... please see the above commentary on Nanook's vote on me. However, unlike Nanook's vote, Dyslexicon actually talked about me and commented on me (although the comment was a bit waffly) before eventually voting me.
Davos - Is this a player? Isn't it a sock puppet? All it ever did in the East Facility was say "Arrrr". IDK why it's voting for me. High-key kinda sus.
I feel kind of burnt out. You can probably tell from my writing. I'd like to elaborate more on the rest but I don't think I can do it. I'm also coming down with a cold or flu or
something so I might just not do the West Facility
Everyone else from East Facility
Actually, I might not do this one too/might do it later but here's roughly the order I'd put them in from towniest to scummiest.
Cape
Sabi
Master Radishes
DrWilgy
DarlingMonroe
