Day 1-3 Dating Action analysis:

Mzero: Has had next to no Date actions every day. It makes sense in some respect because so far at least he's never had to worry about the 6 hour mutual breakup zone due to time zones. Rather than be negatively impacted by that it almost seems to play into his favor. For example on day 2 there were probably a couple of players I would have been willing to break up with MZero to save if it came down to it, but there is no way to know what the final 30-60 minutes is going to break when you're still 6 hours out, and it would have felt wrong to SoloBreakup with him while he was set to be gone until EoD.

Lopen: Had a ton of actions on day 1 and just the one on day 2. All day 2 though lopen was saving himself to be used as a weapon, so that fits, but I still maintain that we'd be better served by having the town-ier players pair off and leave it to the POE to decide amongst themselves. By inserting yourself into the final decision you are indirectly absolving others of the the end of day choices.

JC: Notably confirmed a breakup with Lea both day 1 and day 2. Day 1 it may have contributed to the death of Peaf and day 2 it led to Lea's death, but iirc it was at her insistence so :shrug: on that. No dating actions yet today.

Isquen: Has mostly offered dates to the same few people each day, though the addition of JC date offers is new today. Will have to see if that was explained/justified.

FD: I felt like death was imminent day 1 when I was still on the chopping block after the final 6 hours began. I felt lucky to get a Lopen date, and then I at least partially caused the day 1 chaos that left Peaf out in the cold. Day 2 I ended up with MZero, but it was mostly to prevent MZero from taking Red's spam date offer. I wanted to keep red on the table and I stand by that decision. Day 3? Who knows. I have a short list of people I do NOT want to pair with today, but otherwise I'm flexible. I'd prefer to just to take Lopen or Chris out of the pool and see how the remainders figure it out.

Ulti: Perhaps the worst #Datal track record of them all. Paired with red immediately day 1, gave red a full and complete pass. Was paired with Kirby for most of day 2 I believe until Kirby broke it off, and then he did the confirm/breakup dance with Dumey before leaving his fate "in dumey's hands". Cut to today where he became the new red, spamming date requests, got accepted by MZero, who he's shown no signs of being willing to break it off with. On track for a repeat performance of day 1.

Dumey: Still looks good for day 1 imo. He started the breakup with Peaf and imo, if they are scummates he did not expect Peaf to confirm the breakup. It would require a miscommunication of some magnitude, which is possible, but not likely. Did the Ulti dance on day 2 which I'm still not a fan off, and ultimately decided not to trade Ulti in for Lea. There were definitely some moments where I think it would have been fine to put ulti back in the pool and take red out of the pool, especially after red claimed and Kirby indicated he still wanted red to die. But I guess he was on the road or something at that point? I seem to recall that being mentioned today at least, don't know if it was stated in the moment day 2.

Corrik: Seems to be trying to treat this like a normal game of mafia and has basically not engaged with the mechanics in the slightest. If he wasn't claiming backup cop I would feel significantly worse about him. Not simply for disengaging with the core mechanics, but also for being gone for significant chunks of time and just asking people what happened rather than reading the game his own damn self. He had ONE stretch during day 2 where it actually felt like he was playing/solving, but that's all the good I can say about him for 3 days now.

Sultan: The other half of one of the "day 1 early pairs" that I did not care for. Paired with MZero almost immediately and only showed a willingness to breakup when MZero had already gone to bed for EoD. Day 2 wasn't much better, finding safety with Sir Chris and standing behind him for the majority. To his credit he did temporarily break up with sir chris day 2, showing a willingness to play the field, but that didn't last long. Day 3 he has joined Ulti as one of the new reds. The only reason he doesn't currently have a date invite sent to everyone is the fact that Lopen dated him for more than an hour before breaking up.

Kirby: Dated and broke up with red day 1 immediately for the lulz, which prompted an immediate rule change/clarification. Broke up later that day which put him in the position as being the presumptive lynch for a majority of the end of day 1. Was preparing to date Lea before I stole the date. I'm still surprised by how many people think that Kirby and Lea actually had a confirmed date. I feel like we've clarified the EoD1 actions multiple times now. Day 2 followed a similar trajectory to day 1. Had multiple dates and initiated multiple solo breakups before landing himself in the final 3 once more. Reluctantly dated our claimed cop at the very end. Has thrown some date requests around a bit more for day 3.

Sir Chris: Never seemed to be in much danger of not having a date, even before claiming confirmable/prosty. Got dumped by Lopen shortly before the 6 hour window day 1, and found Death shortly thereafter. Decided to pick up Sultan pretty early day 2 and stuck with him despite a temporary breakup initiated by Sultan. Confirmed a Kirby date (which Kirby ended) on day 3, and hasn't done anything else yet.

.

That is my impression looking at these columns anyways. I'm not sure if there is anything truly damning in here yet, but I'd like to believe that with the format of this game it's going to make it difficult for scum to hide forever if I continue to view the game from this lens.
