Not much to say here except that the seeds are sown for the whole Glork-role-fishing debacle which I don't really agree with. I think part of the problem here, as shown by Glork's #24, is that since most of us already know each other and have played together, we are automatically suspicious of each other above and beyond what we normally would be and what is necessarily healthy.
Page 2:
I don't want to say too much about the whole "Glork was rolefishing" thing because it's already been beaten to death and I don't want to start that up again, however I did want to mention that Ether showed her normal over-the-top self that I met in Pick Your Poison in #47. I don't find what she was doing as scummy, just reaching, which is what prompted me to mention that I thought her pro-town at the time.

I find it interesting that we have a couple different flavors of attempts at aiding discussion here. Patrick is acting questions related to conversations he isn't in but seems interested in, Glork is being a sarcastic bugger, and Cow is asking questions with a slight accusatory tone. I also find it interesting that Glork didn't find Cow's explanation satisfactory and yet he wasn't pushing for a better one.
Page 4:
Tar opens with a good point about Ether's posting, which in retrospect does look like some veiled attacking, though again, it's not enough for me to find her suspicious yet. Patrick for some reason is beginning to bother me. He seems to be inserting his two-cents everywhere, though he doesn't seem to be doing much scumhunting on his own. It looks like he's trying to look contributive without actually adding content of his own.
I do wish that Glork had explained his "early pro-town indicators" but I don't think he did.
Now comes that post of mine that everyone shat themselves over, and while I suppose I can understand why, I think people are looking for scumtells around corners that they'll never find them around. What I mean by that is that I feel that everyone is being far too over-sensitive about scumhunting here. It makes me worry that the moment a townie makes a mistake, they'll be railroaded even if it's something as trivial as a spelling error.
I also notice that Glork and Ether went from distancing to agreeing in one page and all it took was one post by me with lots of qualifiers.
Page 5:
I don't agree with Scot's interpretation of Tar, especially since it's kind of hidden in his post #105 and there's not even any Tar quote in there. It also interests me that Glork forgot who he was voting...unless he doesn't care much at this point, then it could be an indication of his vote being a weak one and perhaps he knew that. Maybe he wanted an excuse to vote someone else? Not sure. Also, not sure how someone who has barely posted can feel sinister (Ether's #108.) Patrick points out Glork's hypocritical mindset. I don't like Ether's unexplained unvote/vote in her #121.

Patrick's #125 feels very pot-kettle to me, and I don't agree with his interpretations of Poker, either. I don't think Poker was trying to blend in, but I do think Patrick was doing that in some of his previous posting. Unexplained unvote/vote on me from Incognito, ugh, this is becoming a trend. Glork is reaching for something to be bitchy about in his #130. Later, finally an explanation from Incognito, but I'd much rather have seen it in the vote post rather than having to ask for it.
I think Ergo's Glork vote in #140 probably should have been an FoS and not a vote because his reason for the vote is pretty weak. MafiaSSK does his unexplained pro-town vibes post, and gain Patrick asks a ton of questions but I can't tell if it's from scumhunting or from wanting to appear like he is scumhunting.
Page 7:
Poker's #158 makes me feel pretty good about him now, mainly because he really seems to have done some good thinking and seems to be honestly scumhunting. Oh look, yet more answer-prompting from Patrick.
Page 8:
Please don't anyone feel bad about attacking me just because I'm a new mother, but do keep in mind that my time and energy is very limited. I am not up to my playing standards at the moment, so you all will need to bear with me.
Okay now I can see some of why people are attacking cow, though I can't say I'm convinced that he's a good lynch yet.
Page 9:
I think that most of Glork's posting in this game have been sarcastic and tongue-in-cheek, and I would like to see more actual content from him.
Conclusion:
I feel like everyone is nitpicking the crap out of everything, whether it deserves it or not. People need to take this game seriously, sure, but going overboard on every little thing will make it easy for scum to make crap cases and mislynch if we're not careful.
Also,
Unvote. Vote: Patrick
for all aforementioned dislike of his posting.
