Bad idea, Echo. Looks like you are stalling.
Still, I really want to know what Rathyr has to say for himself. He hasn't posted much, but every post he has made lights little flames of doubt in my mind. C'mon guys, you get what I'm saying, don't you? This guy needs some serious pressure on him. Don't make me do a PBPA. I will if I have to.
Spectrumvoid- Thank you. 'Doing a m4yhem', heh.
Rathyr, if you are reading, defend yourself. I'm not going to go away because you don't post. I want to know why you are so hesitant to give your opinions, so early in the game.
Echo- your list of suspects contains a lot of 'could bes'. To me, not making a commitment to one side or the other is a bit of a tell- scum like to hedge their bets.
I also disagree with this:

Seol- . Leaning towards scum because he appears to me to be getting in a lot of fights- not neccessarily scummy, but perhaps unhealthy for the game.
I think fights are

for the game. When people get emotional, they tend to slip up more, which can be useful for finding scum. Forcing people to defend themselves can tell you a huge amount about what they are really thinking. Plus I find them fun to read
I agree Seol's experience is scary, but I see no reason yet to think he's scum.
As for you, Echo, would it be true to say you are a fairly nervous player?
Since everyone else is doing it, my thoughts on Luckay's 'townie tells':
LuckayLuck wrote:
Townie Tell #1: Does not end up attacking anybody while worsening their relationship with people.
I just don't understand what is meant by this at all. If you mean that townies are afraid to attack people for fear of making enemies, my answer to that is 'hell, no'.
But maybe you meant something else, Luckay?
LuckayLuck wrote:Townie Tell #2: I misread this post. I thought Echo was voting for me and admitting "it's aggravating, as it's such an easy excuse [to vote LL]". Now that I re-look at it, it's actually sort of a scummy post.
Why would that have been townlike?
LuckayLuck wrote:Townie Tell #2 (Real): A scum does not have this soliloquy with himself. This is a VERY strong tell.
I sort of agree with this. I think Echo was being very honest about his thinking, which is not, IMO, a scummy trait.
LuckayLuck wrote:Townie Tell #3: Calls himself a hypocrite. Yes, scum can do this to WIFOM, but the context of this means he is not WIFOMing. It ends up that this is a really strong townie tell too.
Again, I agree, It's the 'honesty factor.' But this can be faked very easily.
Also, Luckay, you realise that the scum can read these tells and then adjust their behaviour accordingly? What's your success rate with this strategy? How many games have you won?
