Sandroba. Why are people voting for this guy?



Let us work our way backwards in his filter, starting from this post, where he advocates against electing Kita because Kita has not provided his reads or opinions on subjects being discussed.



The first mention of any kind of read he has (remember, we're working backwards), it's on me, he found me scum but now he doesn't know. Null.
Why did he used to find me scum? Not sure, the only other mention of me is the reason he had to make the above post, that mention being this:


So we never got to know why I was scum to him, but that's okay because he's no longer sure, right? I don't think so.
To me this seems like jumping on the (at the time) easy "lynch" I'd make. But then backing off because it was hard to pin me on something.

Next up, we have this:


I'm fairly certain he's town, is his entire read. Only when asked does he explain why.


This boils down to a meta read. If you take away the meta, all that is left is him saying: "He said he'd be lazy but he isn't"
Meta reads aren't always bad, of course, but it should never be the crux of your argument unless someone is WAY off their town meta.



"I don't know, you're null. Here's a list of slight townreads with no explanation."
Moving further back.



His very first strong read, yet somehow it is much earlier in the thread than the stuff covered above. This post is referring to Dieno.
There's not much reasoning to it, the only being that scum wouldn't enter into the game like that.
I think this is fair and not alignment indicative, but since we're pointing out all the reads I think it's only fair to point out his only strong read thus far.

This is also where the reads end, because we are in the early earlygame at this point. There is some setup speculation, which makes sense given we're in a heavily themed game.

My point to all of this, is this:
Sand has not had any strong reads, and the reads he has had have had bad or no reasoning.
He's is currently trying to get elected, and has had some backing.
Why are people not demanding stronger reads from him? Especially when he is demanding them from others?

Why is sand not working harder at making reads, when he is running for the election?

Wanting to get elected is not alignment indicative. His reads or logic isn't alignment indicative. Why does he not look/try to look townie when he is running for the election?

In my eyes, this makes him badly played scum or a third party role because a townie who is running for election would be trying harder to get elected, or at the very least to get strong reads out there.
