Right, so I've been going through my fellow low posters to see if I can root out anything interesting, in part because the cases for the major players (ie. Rashan, Shadow, Anomandaris, Silannah & Liosan) have been made already and in part because I'm too lazy to wade through all their posts right now. So here goes:
Thyrllan - hasn't posted anything of substance yet, probably due to being online during the spam portion and consequently not having anything of substance to say. No alarm bells there just yet, I'll wait and see if he says something more interesting tomorrow before I jump to the conclusion he's scum trying to hide behind a low post count.
Gamelon - apart from his joke vote on D'riss to begin with (and that was tenuous, even for a joke vote), all he's really done is vote on Thyrllan, apparently because of low post count & not having voted. I'd have liked to have seen him discuss some of the others a bit more before singling someone out like that - there were, after all, several other people with low post counts who hadn't voted at the time.
Korlat - arrived late, but has since made a point that it is his (or given the alt, her?) style to be a quiet poster. This caught my eye - I can excuse Thyrllan because it seems like he hasn't had a chance to post yet, but actually saying "I don't post very often" implies a stylistic choice, which could indicate scum. I also noted that Korlat picked up on a Shadow post regarding how scum play in the same way that Kessobahn did. Just making an early connection between the two, may be useful later.
Kessobahn - apart from the possible link with Korlat (note that Kessobahn made the point first, so Korlat was possibly copying), what I notice is that he seemed to be defending Silannah a fair bit. First of all he acted vaguely annoyed when Shadow voted for Silannah promising a case to follow (#291), and then later:
Kessobahn said:
Shadow said:
Again for when you get here -
I said Sil was at the top of my list, next post is the case, if I wanted to re-direct attention I would have voted for Rashan, for symping me. I didn't because I think Sil is scummy. I am answering you as you go, because I don't want to miss a point and be accused of ignoring anything.
Your case is basically that he took the first thing he coud and ran with it. It is true to an extent, but I think you make more of it that it was. You accused him of wanting a quicklynch. I never got that impression from him.
His sudden change of tact means I have my eye on him, but he hasn't done anything particularly scummy so far as I can see.
Which is further defence of Sil. Now I know not all defence is symping, I just got a vibe from this one. IGMEOY, either as a possible Master to Korlat or as a Symp to Silannah.
Kaschan - I made an observation about Kaschan earlier regarding his willingness to switch stances on Rashan's joking around so quickly (see #382). All he's done apart from some early spam jokes is say he has a funny feeling about myself and D'riss. Fair enough, although obviously I don't agree
. I still find him suspicious based on my earlier point though.
Fener - Fener has been active since the Fake Ninja and has talked a fair amount of sense without actually making any concrete accusations/attacks. He also seems to agree with me in being suspicious about Kaschan, although his rationale seems a little hypocritical to me. Gut feeling, fair enough, but backing it up with low post count when he hasn't exactly said much himself? Yeah, not the strongest of points.
D'riss - I thought his vote for Liosan was a bit premature, to be honest. Hasn't done too much apart from that, although I was struck by his latest post:
D'riss said:
Right then
with the Liosan thing out of the way (and I know how you feel,. Silanah. and the fact that he's probably a fellow inno's pissing me off as well). I'm inclined to trust Ano
which brings us back to Shadow with Rash as symp
or could be one of the quieter players (Kaschan, Thyrlan, Fener, or Korlat)
really don't know
bottom line, tons of time left.
I've got the night shift today (lousyy mondays), so i'm gone for the next 5-6 hours.
later, y'all.
EDIT: cross-post with Rashan
forgot Gamelon as one of the quieter players. and Tennes, for that matter.
He seems to have completely ignored Silannah on his list of suspects for some reason, as well as Kessobahn. I can kind of understand Kessobahn, as he hasn't posted all that much, but to leave out one of the top posters in his analysis? That seems a little suspicious.
So there's my rundown of the low posters (myself excluded, obviously, someone else can do that one
). I'll post my thoughts on the Fake Ninja in a bit.
EDIT: Cross post with Korlat and Rashan.
