Just to chip in on the 'buddying up to caf' issue, I immediately saw the initial comment as this:
dejkha wrote:Because I've played with him before and he was useful and logical player, so I figured if anyone would understand, it would be him.
which is what dej explained it as. Not that I'm trying to big myself up as being amazing and logical or anything, but I ICed a newbie game that had him in, and tried to fulfil my IC role of being helpful/objective, etc. So I assumed that's what dej was referring to. That doesn't form a part of my suspicions of dej. I, however, was not compelled by his 'praise' of me to show more sympathy towards his position (as my posting at the time showed).
Anyway...

^Doesn't that also seem like something she would think from reading "the post" the first time, rather than waiting until someone else found the question scummy? If she thought "the post" was as scummy as she made it look, she would not have waited until someone else brought it up.
This is intriguing, because I had a similar opinion - but on nico, who in my opinion is worse for doing this. In post 78, when the argument over "the post" had been going for some time, she says

Dej, what makes you think it's not a big deal?
which is a point that had been made many times in the thread - not only made, but built upon, with other arguments developing around it (what your intentions were in the first sentence of "the post", what your reactions to the suspicion of you signified etc). This very basic point seems to be committing the crime of following others' suspicions, in a more obvious and in my opinion suspicious way than nonny did. Nonny developed her own ideas on you subsequently; nico is yet to substantially do this. What do you think of that?
@ GhostWriter: despite dej being your top suspect, you haven't voted for him at any point. Why not? Fair enough, he was at L-2 some of the time, but not all the time.
@ EsoMonty and Rest: please come back? (

, is it time for prods on these two yet?)

This leads me to worry... the dej/Spolium/nonny battle dominates the thread. Some of the less frequent posters have contributed their opinions properly, but others seem happy to sit back and watch a dej lynch succeed solely through its own inertia. We have a week (ish) to deadline, and need to hear from everyone, not just a few. It is also not particularly healthy if 100% of our discussion involves or is about dejkha, so I suggest everyone posts a scumlist of the top 3 or so players.
