I'm not sure what I think of Pablo yet. My read so far is that he is very actively scumhunting. On the other hand, he is an IC and having played one game with him, I know he is a good player and would be good scum as well.
The thing I am watching is that he sometimes seems to be setting little traps with the questions he asks and I wonder in a newbie game like this whether that's likely to catch scum, or just as likely to catch out a new player who isn't familiar with the game yet. I also think he knows that, so I'm watching to see if he takes that into account or he just piles onto whomever falls into his trap.
The one thing he's done that I really didn't like was voting for Kirb and then saying:
Finishing up my paper. Hopefully I can post later today and explain, but DAMN has Kirbyoshi rocketed to my #1. In the meantime, think about it yourselves.
Clearly he was in a rush, but I would find it more town had he given a hasty reasoning and said "I'll explain in more depth later" rather than urging everyone else to find the reasons for it while he was gone. That part strikes me as a little scummy, but not enough to put him to the top.
@Adamrights, maybe I'm misunderstanding you then. I'm aware that in your main post you gave Kirb's role talk as one reason you found suspicious, but the post in which you vote, you say:
Who to vote for? I like that Kirb is adding to discussion, but my reason for actually questioning his scummyness now is that if he knows I’m not scum and he came hard against me – isn’t that going to attract the town’s attention? Perhaps, but I was acting scummy enough that he could maybe blame it on that…so:
VOTE KIRB
It appears that this is the reason you are giving for your actual vote. It wasn't until Mitey Mouse threw another vote on that the "slip" turned into your main point of attack.
It's not that part of it that bothers me though--you're allowed to refine your argument and change focus, after all--it's the part where you turned around and said "Hey guys let's capitalize on this and get him!" which is no more than what Kirb did with you earlier and which was previously your main reason for your vote.
Right now my top two would be Adamrights and Deep Blue. Deep Blue seems to have been trying to go as long as he could without posting and when he did it was usually in a manner that seemed to avoid explanation. A lot of "I'll explain later" posts for someone who was barely posting in the first place. This was my impression without having done a detailed reread yet. Since it appears we're getting a replacement I'll go back and do that now and try to post my thoughts on his iso sometime tonight probably.
