I was on the verge of taking Shotty off the scum when I hit page 23. Reading him in iso, nothing negative really stands out. I got a negative feeling in my stomach somewhere, but maybe I just wasn't crazy about his avatar. <_<
Reading Hayker in iso now, he should probably be off the town list. It looks like his only significant posts have been the huge (but very entertaining!) IIOA on the KH flavor and a couple of posts discrediting ModVoice. I guess I just enjoyed reading his flavorposts.
Cobalt definitely rubs me the wrong way, though. His early play was aimless, and then he responded to pressure to contribute by pressure-voting my predecessor, another lurker. Then he voted ace without explanation. When that didn't catch on, he voted zwet, yet another lurker. Then he switched to voting Deathnote, then back to zwets, which had become somewhat popular on the back of testimony from other players. His play all game has involved moving from target to target without significant explanation until he found a cause that other players would champion for him. It doesn't help that I know he's played with DeathNote at least once, but he feigned ignorance of his meta.
I feel naked not having a vote somewhere, so I'll go ahead and
Vote: Cobalt
on this basis. I'm not certain whether he's my favorite candidate, but it's certainly enough to keep myself from being a non-voter.
