Bleh. Tried to post this way earlier, and mafiascum was being slow as fuck and I couldn't get it through. Anyway.

Wow, looks like a lot's happened in a short period of time. I'm not crazy about the idea of a self-proclaimed VI being a power role, but the role and flavour appear to check out, so what else is there to do?

And now, here's something that's
really
throwing me for a loop: Fate's last few posts seem, like, ridiculously townie to me. I'm still not a fan of his playstyle, and I haven't forgotten nor entirely dismissed his manner of attack on me and how anti-town parts of it were, but the jumping on Seven's case for not having any suspects other than obvious easy ones thing combined with spearheading the jump to Jeromus while all the while waving his arms like crazy going "LOOK AT HOW QUICKLY THE PWNMAN LYNCH BUILT UP, THIS IS NOT A WAGON ON SCUM" really give me some pause. These things read townie to me because, this close to deadline, Fate could probably just coast along if he was scum, safe in the knowledge that the bandwagon on him dissipated. But no, he's as active as ever, trying to push new leads at the last minute, and, well... I just can't see scum going that far out of their way. I may need to do some re-reading of him now, to see if I can see his previous posts in this different light at all.
Jeromus... a lot of things bothered me about Jeromus' post before I even saw it bothered anyone else. The last minute declaration of, "hey, everyone needs to post their thoughts!" bothers me because this late in the day it's just going to tell scum who is viewed as the most obvtown, aka who they need to kill (if they're going to wifom against shooting pwn by assuming there's another protective role somewhere in the mix). He finds way too many people neutral, -- and here's the thing that really put up a red flag for me -- he says Azh is "aggressive and obnoxious".
What?
I did a quick iso of Azh to see if there was anything that struck me this way even remotely, and really, other than the whole personal attack on Fate thing, I didn't see anything I would define as such. But what I
have
seen is what seems to me like a fairly obvtown player. So jeromus saying his close irl friend is being aggressive and obnoxious tells the amateur psychologist in me that Jeromus sees Azh as a threat.
I could go on, dissecting his views on every player, but that was what bothered me most and bothered me before I could be influenced by anyone else's reaction to him, so that's what I'm sticking to for the sake of (relative) brevity.
Bv310's distrust of pwnman's claim even with the easily wikipediable name along with it bothers me. The claim seems rock solid to me, why the doubt casting?
Jeromus' 305 seems like he's throwing in the towel.
iam wins townpoints for digging up and exposing the latter Jeromus quote as evidence. Also, more okay with iam/fate connections now that I'm more okay with Fate in general.
vote: jeromus
upon refreshing the thread (YAY! it's up again) I believe this is
L-2
. Just so no one can say they didn't realize how close he was to hammer or anything. <_<
(btw, also upon refresh, Seven just kind of regurgitated the last two pages, didn't he? don't like his "hmm, fate, pwn or jer" thing like the fate or pwn wagons are exactly going anywhere. Smells like he's trying too hard to make his vote look more thought out than the rest of his post shows it is -- one sentence on Jer's much-discussed 294 from otherwise fairly wordy Seven? For shame!)
