@ Chihuahua0 case
I think we shouldn't use any 'newbie passes' at all. This basically allows any possible slips in the future to be covered with more newbies card. However, I don't find Chihuahua0's posts that remarkable at all. I'm more interested in the wagon that has been formed. In particular Taska's response. A 'very big FoS'. I don't know what that is, but I assume it has near the same weight as a vote. Taska, at the start of the game you said you would stop your wishy-washy voting once decent discussion has started. But here I see you voting RetroAudio for ignoring questions and just one post later you give your very big FoS. I don't like it one bit.

I'd rather people vote for someone because they think they're scum than because they want to follow a trend.
Cool. But the question is what you think of bandwagons, not what you think is optimal play.
chihuahua0 wrote:2> How do you hope to find scums?
The moment someone slips up and everyone piles onto him/her.
So you're just going to sit back and hope the scum present themselves to you? No. Scumhunting is about taking initiative.

This is a test question, and almost any answer I use here will be used against me. No answer.
This is not the Weakest Link. We are trying to figure out your alignment here. Always answer questions.
Tasky wrote:I don't really agree with that... e.g. I think that someone is more likely to be passive if they are playing a role they dislike...
knowing ones favorite role can turn useful later on... see it as a kind of investment, everybody invests 10 seconds of their time to tell us their favorite role and maybe we get to use that information later in the game... it's probable that it won't serve any purpose, but it could be helpful later, so it's definitely an investment that's somehow favorable
That's a good thought actually. But why did you explain that before everyone had claimed? Now it's useless.
Equinox wrote:From a skim, the wagon and the suspicions I see being flung around are mostly on active players -- chihuahua0, RetroAudio, Tasky -- with little to no attention to lurkers or active lurkers. Active players say more things than lurkers, which makes it easier for everyone else to pick apart posts. Don't forget the lurkers or the people riding coattails.
You do realise you're a lurker yourself right? And in literary every post you're talking about needing a catchup or running short on time. Take your own advice to heart.

I played over 9000 marathon games with Youngminii yesterday and I've noticed that he likes to joke around when he's town and he's usually serious when he's scum. So far Youngminii has posted in a pretty serious manner. Marathon games aren't regular games but it's worth a mention.
From what I've seen from MagnaofIllusion so far, I think he's town. He's agressive, asks questions and forces people to take positions. I like it.
