It's somewhat of a scumtell to play an entire game without ever accusing someone innocent or getting under anyone's skin.
You know, it amazes me that SC says something like that and no one even bats an eye. You may not believe in scum-slips, but that's some very,
very
flawed logic at the very least. He considers it a scum-tell that Limerickx has never accused someone innocent when he himself is the person Limerickx
has been
accusing for a good while now. What kind of pro-town person thinks like that?

Can you elaborate on what these instances were?

This quote resonates with me, because the fact that scum can day-talk wasn't on my mind either for most of the time I spent on this game. I think it takes a sophisticated scum to make a comment like that, and while it's possible that Pug was just being good-scum (I'm not familiar with his capabilites as a scum-player), I think it's more likely to come from a pro-town player.

In unrelated news, I've made a decision not to wait with imprinting/voting until I've analysed everyone anymore. I find myself fairly strapped for time in the new year, and I'm not sure I can do it in a timely fashion.
I've reread Limerickx just now, and I still think he's one of our best shots at imprinting town. I liked his early strategy discussion, I liked his latest list of suspicion and I didn't spot anything that made me worry or doubt myself too much. There's no one else in the game I can say that about.

I've liked Socrates' entry into the game. He's inquisitive and asking the right questions. While I disagree with him on SC, he's mostly in-tune with me on everything else. I don't give him much credit for the xRECKx hate, as he's part of a large crowd in that boat and if xRECKx is scum, I think it's safe to assume that he is being bussed. But I
do
give him credit for the VMD/KoC hate. He's next in line when it comes to people I would be willing to imprint, pendind a reread of Plum.
At some point, I decided that Elvis is probably town, but I don't remember exactly what prompted this. It's been a consistent gut-feeling I've been having towards her for a while now, but I don't think I'd risk imprinting her based on that.
Farside22 is my biggest blind-spot for me in the game at this point, I don't have a feel for her at all. I will reread her next instead of Buttonmen (mostly since his imprint is a done deal and there's time to evaluate him tomorrow). So yes, the big posts will continue, but I won't be stalling the game over them anymore. Expect larger contributions over the weekends from now on.
