Human Leans:

Marth - When he was active that one day phase, his posts seemed towny to me; asking people questions and giving his thoughts (albeit in meme format). He also was one of the first votes on the Fox wagon before Kirby claimed cop, which I think is a point for his humanity.

Little Mac - Originally suspected him, but his having voted Fox before Kirby's cop claim reads human to me. I don't think it's very likely that a wolf joined the Fox wagon until afterwards.

Villager - His spontaneity from the beginning of the game and his recent posts where he accused Zelda seem very human to me. His spontaneous posting made his intent transparent in that he was giving a sincere opinion and was legitimately trying to find wolves and his accusation of Zelda just seemed had enough effort that, when coupled with his confidence in his suspicion, read as human to me.

Pit - Knowing who he is, I don't think the posts he made around the time he was being accused by a number of people fits his wolf behavior. I think he's pushing Zelda a bit hard, but things like defending Ike and trying to get people to be active seems rather human.


Weak Human Leans:

Zelda - I'm iffy on her now given that she wanted Megaman lynched so hard, but I think it's understandable; risking a lynch on Bowser, who was at the time a potential special, is something people would treat with caution. I think that her consistency in being suspicious of Megaman as well as her sassy and sarcastic disposition would be a bit bold for a wolf. Keeping her as a weak lean because I wouldn't know where else to look if my wolf leans are wrong.

King Dedede - I feel like how he questioned Meta Knight was good.

This post in response to Megaman's suggested lynch order seems human to me. He disagrees with being lynched, but doesn't put up an over the top defense and seems more or less relaxed (despite the caps, hehe). That his tone is calm and he's confident in town victory is pretty towny, in my opinion. Not much beyond that though, hence why he's a weak lean.


Strong Wolf Leans:

Meta Knight - Charizard brought up good points on Meta Knight regarding his views on Bowser and Pikachu. Likewise, that Donkey Kong held similar views is equally suspicious. Given Meta Knight's reaction to being lynched (e.g. the self-vote), I can't say I've found anything he's done so far to appear human.

Yoshi - When traction was growing for a Yoshi lynch on day 2, Yoshi let it slip that 'for fun' he thought that Peach was the Gunsmith. Based on Yoshi's play and general inactivity, I find it odd for him to have deduced it on his own. And if he did, he should be smart enough to realize that revealing special roles isn't something you should do, even if they're just predictions. I feel like Yoshi was just trying to purposely reveal an aside to cause a ruckus because he felt like he had to do something to help the wolves if he was dying.
He's still posting mostly fluff though. He's just following whatever wagon he can find without ever adding anything to the discussion. I don't like any of Yoshi's post, but this is one I particularly don't like:

The tone of this seems so contrived and forced. He 'locks' Sonic as a wolf and then claims that he can potentially be an unhelpful human. That Sonic turned out to be town fares no better for his case, I feel. Even when there was traction building on Meta Knight, Yoshi completely ignored it and posted about going to bed.


I think, overall, I would most want a Meta Knight lynch, but I almost equally want a Yoshi lynch too. I'll try to look into posts further later today.

Guess I should read this thread more but my overall impression of this reads list is that 1.) he is not genuinely engaged with hunt, overall motivation seems to be a passive "let's lynch them and find out" indicated by building up a strong case for Yoshi and then resting on Meta-Knight. 2.) "fan service" reasoning: "the points brought up by ______" when arguing for meta-knight lynch (try to appeal to others while you seem to not have any strong things to say about meta-knight, who you choose over Yoshi)

The depth of his play, while it was extremely thin here (I'm going to tell everyone I think they are human except these two extremely weak targets who won't defend themselves + the general state of mind that thinks pushing someone passionately is wolfy) has deteriorated as the phases continue.

Calling charizard a good lynch? Empty voting the same damn Yoshi read you've had for days while your reads are consistently wrong? Constantly reminding the thread that you'll come back later?
