Catch up time, PBPA style (where P = Player).
al_kohaulec: Having brought him up on the by-player filter, I now feel like he has said a lot less than I had thought. Most of his posts have been focused on defending attacks against him (attacks based on him being strangely defensive earlier in the game). No votes other than the early random one.
al, who do you consider the two most suspicious people right now, and why?
Ameliaslay: Didn't set off any alarm bells when she was playing, and has since asked for a replacement (she hasn't been replaced yet, has she?). Given that a month has passed since her last post, I don't have much to say here (though I'll make a mental note to re-read her posts when she's replaced and/or when we have some deaths to correlate things with).
Cogito Ergo Sum: Easily the most annoying player, and probably needs to be replaced. Little to point to as scummy beyond the non-participation though; he hasn't avoided giving his opinion on who the scum are.
CES, Post, if you're still playing. 59 words or more, please.
CrashTextDummie (replaced Tyfo): Tyfo posted once, and CTD has posted three times. Great. Seems somewhat defensive of Rosso (though I can't decide if it's scummy; I know I was on the other side of that particular argument, so I may be noticing it more due to disagreement). Need more data. CTD needs prodding, if not replacing.
CTD, Post, if you're still playing.
lordy: Clearly scum.
Mod, only joking. A vote count would be nice, as well as some prods.
M4yhem (replacing Seol): I'm back and forth on him. On one hand, since he took over, he has been one of the most consistently active players. He has not shied away from arguments, and most of his arguments have at least been coherent and rational, whether I agree with them or not. On the other hand, I still don't feel like he is actually trying to catch scum. This could just be his playstyle, but it's something to keep an eye on.
M4yhem, ignore for a moment the goal of getting people to talk and so on. If you had to pick one player and if they are scum you win instantly and if they are town you lose instantly, who would you pick?
Machiavellian-Mafia: Huh, skipped him initially because I thought he had already been replaced. I am still suspicious of him, though that has cooled somewhat due to the whole not-posting thing. Replace, please. [Insert last bit of Ameliaslay paragraph here.]
mith: Obviously the most innocent player in the game.
mith, do an awesome PBPA and catch us some scum.
petroleumjelly: Gah, what is this, Verbose Mafia 2.5? I am going to have to go through his posts in detail when I have a lot more time. I still find him most likely innocent for the most part, but the big blue question bothers me a bit. I do think the answers/reactions could be helpful, but I am always wary of comments like "when you learn that I am town". Scum seem to make them more often.
pj, 2.1 people will vote for Thok. (But if you want to know whether
I
will vote for him, that obviously depends on what happens between now and then.) You've said an awful lot, so I'm digging pretty deep for a question here: Do you really think that Relyte and M4yhem are... [good isn't quite the right word here, but something along those lines] enough players to pull off that type of argument if they are scum together?
PookyTheMagicalBear: Disappointing. I like playing with Pooky when he's on his game, and he's not here. This is
mostly
a null tell, since he's not the type of player to let his interest be dictated by his role, but I'd lean in the scummy direction because it does seem he's stalling. Depressed or not, he should have posted something content-wise by now.
Pooky, given that your little quiz was supposedly to give "us" a better idea regarding whether M4yhem is "flailing scum" or making newbie mistakes, I find your refusal to discuss what you think about the answers very odd. What are your reasons?
Relyte (replacing LoudmouthLee): Still the scummiest, IMO. His behavior regarding M4yhem was amazing, and he seems much more concerned with his own skin than catching scum.
Relyte, I would like you to give us your top two suspects, and three scummy things each has done (with quotes and reasoning following the quotes, please).
Rosso Carne: Not quite as frustrating as CES, but pretty close. When Rosso does make an argument, I have a lot of trouble making sense of it. Something doesn't feel right to me, but it's mostly hunch.
Rosso, what Day 1 topic of discussion have you found most interesting so far? Why?
Thok: Whew, nearly there. Playstyle-wise, Thok has been fairly consistent with what I've seen of him as protown... but there's not a lot of differences between that and his scum play. The breadcrumb thing... well, see below.
Thok, you seemed awfully concerned with what pj thought about my response. What did
you
think about it?
Right, that'll do for tonight. Probably back to daily concise posts Wednesday, rather than infrequent longish ones.
