#58 - First interaction. Jack responds to Max's opening claim. "Max gets eliminated Day 1 for being too obtuse."
#93 - Jack +1s Max's post towards Knightwing.
#118 - Jack responds to Max to complain about cults.
#121 - Jack thinks they're meshing really well with Max this game and is inclined to townread Max.
#123 - Jack gives a reads list and puts Max right at the top alongside Knightwing and NQT.
Jim questions Jack's read of Max a bit later. (
#284)
#248 - Tric is the current leading wagon with Max just leaving second thanks to Egan's unvote. Jack joins Knightwing and places a vote on 4mask.
Maybe Jack is trying to steer people away from Max here? He could just join the Tric wagon though.
#261 - Max tells Toony that him and Jack actually get along pretty well, like in the Mostly Vanilla Mafia round they were neighbors in.
I can confirm this as Jack let me join their neighborhood and I got to see them being chums.
It also didn't go well for them because I was mafia in that game.
#285 - Max tells Jim that Jack is incredibly readable. "I think Jack is incredibly readable, but look, if this is something we're just going to have to push past, I'll vote him if you want, okay? At some point you people are going to have to accept that I'll vote for anyone because I am not on a scumteam.
"
This looks sincere to me.
#288 - Max votes Jack with Jim's goading. "Of course it isn't anti-town. A member of a scumteam has at least one other player he would specifically prefer not to lynch if at all possible (especially on d1, certainly!), while town (with no specific confirmations) is willing to be convinced to vote for anyone."
#292 - Max responds to Lenglon. "Look, Jack isn't my top pick for a lynch, but certainly, if he flips, I will know things about the other players tomorrow that I did not know today. I never go into a d1 lynch expecting to lynch scum, because that rarely happens. I go into a d1 lynch hoping to find out who scum are and aren't so the d2 lynch is better informed." They also unvote Jack.
I don't know, this doesn't look like Max is teamed with Jack to me.
I realize that the outcome of this game may come down to my ability to read Max here.
#313 - Max explains to Knightwing their vote and unvote of Jack alongside other stuff.
#360 &
#364 - Jack and Max vote NQT in quick succession, with Lenglon in the middle.
#375 - NQT and Max are tied in votes. "I think I'm cool with this tie. The only reason mafia would choose to lynch easy scapegoat me over NQT is if NQT actually is scum, so it should be obvious what to do tomorrow. Long ToonyMan post, not reading it yet."
I like this post.
#387 - Jack +1s Max again when he says Tric is town and Toony is suspicious for saying otherwise. "But seriously, I originally was suspicious of Max for joining my NQT vote so quickly, but Max is looking better."
Meh. I don't know.
#388 - Max banters with Jack.
Looks natural.
#395 - Jack thinks Max is town, but then backpedals "maybe Max could be that self-aware..." which Hector teasingly replies to.
#401 - Max thinks Tric, Jack, Knightwing, and Jim are probably town.
#431 - Jack gut reads Max as town.
I have no idea why I said Jack doesn't like Max at
#441. Jack has liked Max since the start of the game.
At this point Max is the leading wagon at 5 votes with 4mask in second at 3 votes. Jack isn't voting anybody since they just unvoted me.
#458 - Jack talks about the Max wagon, "Not sure how I feel about the Max Lynch. Max has admitted in the past that his scum strategy is to tell 90% of the truth. So it's entirely possible he claimed his scum role in such a way as to look town. Max also engages more before Day 2 as scum than as town.
Max unfortunately just looks scummy as town, however. So I'm waffling. I also have not had time to actually talk to Max. Now that I'm available, Max goes dark.
The end of day looks interesting. The coalition against Max is not exactly strong, unlike the block voting 4mask."
Jack could vote 4mask or NQT here to try to help Max, but doesn't.
Jack goes on to analyze Vector's posts and declares that they despise the 4mask wagon (which is the next best wagon after Max). I don't see why Jack even cares to do this if Max is their partner, it's self-sabotage that even takes effort to do.
#464 - Jack continues to dig into past posts and tries to convince people that the 4mask wagon is incorrect. Votes NQT right after.
Literally galaxybrain play by Evil!Jack if they're with Max. NQT is the third wagon, behind 4mask. Jack is sabotaging the second leading wagon of 4mask and jumps to third leading wagon NQT.
Meanwhile Hector and NQT are both voting Max at this point.
#477 - Jack still isn't buying the Max wagon and is worried they're being sold the 4mask wagon. Unvotes NQT after NQT gives a smart rebuttal. Goes "fuck it" and joins Persus voting Hector.
Again, Jack goes after the harder wagon of Hector now instead of 4mask. Joining the 4mask wagon would be the easiest out to possibly saving Max.
Also I mentioned this myself at the time, but Max never even votes to save himself on D1, just like Good!Egan on D2.
#509 - Max returns to the thread and sees he's still alive. Jack asks Max who they're going to vote to save themselves.
#543 - Jack says he has an ability to steal a player's action and wants to use it on Tric. Max tells Jack he has a good action for Jack to steal, but is worried about Jack up and dying with it. Jack later clarifies that it's a copy.
Looks natural to me.
#556 - Max isn't comfortable voting to save themselves after everything that has happened.
This feels really townie to me. I did the same thing as town in Supernatural 10 where I refused to vote to save myself.
#558 - After learning Jack's ability is a copy, Max says: "You should totally take this then. It'll be good to have two of it. I plan to use it tonight if I don't get, you know, strung up."
This would be the roleblock we've seen put to use on NQT.
#562 - Jack tells Max and Toony to vote Hector. Lenglon votes Hector right after.
Lenglon voting Hector creates a three-way tie between Tric/Max/Hector with Tric voting Max, Max abstaining, and Hector just unvoting Max earlier. Very weird scenario. I think Max is town since they aren't voting to save themselves and ask Hector what they're going to do, but they don't budge. I break the tie by voting Tric.
A tie is decided by Evil, so I guess Evil usually never has to worry about being in a tie.
