Alright, I'll give my thoughts in full on both Thoth and Mag1c, at least to the extent that I have any kind of read on them based on both their posts and those of Awesome and Hyper. I'd also base it on Casey's posts, but looking back, they had barely posted last DP and didn't give any reads. There's not a lot to go off of there, and I think that may have been the point of eliminating them. Or maybe Casey was just that busy and I'm reading into this too deeply.
Anyway, here are my beefier thoughts on both players:
Thoth -
Thoth being absent for long stretches of time is NAI, and not caring about this specific game is just unique to the game, but given it's a test game, fine, whatever. I still don't love the pushback on providing thoughts about the game last DP, but if he was just exhausted, I get it. He called out Mag1c as scummy in , but that was mainly reactive to Mag1c calling him out as scummy, which isn't much use to me. He called out Casey in and as well, giving them a small towntell in , so a bit of waffling there. Doing all this near the end of the DP and then voting Mag1c rather than Casey strikes me as odd. That's the main thing holding me back from just giving a solid read here - I think this could have been a last ditch effort to put some distance between the two of them knowing that Casey was exceedingly unlikely to be the lynch target last DP, but not wanting any chance of it actually happening.
As for DP2, I haven't seen much yet, but his ruminating on the possible reasons why Casey was chosen only to end with a shrug is kind of weird. Trying to push the DP to end faster just tracks with his desire to start his own game. He knows me well enough to know that I won't be pushed into voting without thinking it through, but doesn't want the game to just keep going in circles this DP. I'm waiting for that ISO.
Mag1c -
The back-and-forth of his read on me last DP settled into more of a towntell rhythm from where I was sitting, and not just because he landed on seeing me as town. I think his analysis made sense and that he would have put more focus on where he feels it's uncertain if he was scum. Maybe that assumption was a little too much, though, considering if he is scum, he left Thoth alive and I was already sussing Thoth a great deal last DP. If he was trying to put the focus on me, he would have killed Thoth and left Hyper alive. The reads he left last DP looked OK to me, though in retrospect, the read on Casey was a bit loose. That may just be due to the lack of activity from Casey, there wasn't a whole lot to build a read off of.
Nothing yet from him this DP.
I'd say both have small points in their favor and against, though if I had to pick now, Mag1c does seem like a more likely pairing with Casey than Thoth. That in part comes down to Thoth having more to say about Casey last DP, but it's also down to what we know from the two town-confirmed players who have been eliminated.
Hyper is the more instructive of these. They called out the plausible pairing of Casey and Mag1c multiple times. Admittedly, while they unpaired Thoth and Casey, that was stated to be a pretty weak read. That was, however, before Thoth came back and made a case against Casey. I wouldn't be surprised if that sentiment grew stronger at that point. Hyper did also say that there was some chance I was paired with Casey, but I'll leave that for you two to discuss.
Awesome is comparatively more difficult to read. He sussed me, ignored a lot of my posts by his own admission, and then said we should sheep Mag1c despite him townreading me. So clearly, he townread Mag1c. He didn't give any clear opinion on Thoth, though his position at the end seemed to be that we should all just vote Thoth.
So if they both had a choice and it wasn't informed by Casey's flip, then I'm sure both would advocate lynching Thoth. But with Casey's flip, at least Hyper would almost certainly advocate for Mag1c's lynch. Harder to determine what Awesome would do since we don't know the basis for his townread on Mag1c.
I'll leave it there for now, but those are my mostly complete thoughts. Mag1c, anytime you can, chime in.
