Ok I think that I am mostly caught up. Unfortunately I don't have 5 hours and 30 minutes to do a total reread.

Now while I think that there might be something to the Amp case. I think that Tennes miscues are a little bigger in my mind.

Caught up on the past 3-5 pages. First time back in ~20 hours and I have to say I'm surprised to see that all 3 slain last night were townies.. I thought for sure that one of them was scum trying to put on a show as cover.
I've been suspicious of Ampelas since early on and have considered trying to put a case together on him. There is something about the tone of his posts that is a very skillful way of commenting without saying much that has caused me to be unable to gather any info, however. Due to this, I think he is a safe vote for someone to remove.
Vote Ampelas
That is a scummy sentence and when it gets pointed out.

@ Tennes
you have no idea how scummy that sounds, do you?
"safe vote"--what the hell does that even mean to an inno?
I am liking you less and less, Tennes.
Yeah, it sounded stranger than hell the first time I read it too. But, after giving it a couple reads, I think what he might be saying is "it's a safe lynch because they are probable scum." Yeah, lots of translation there, and I would have liked him to confirm it before I had to go, but... he isn't exactly high poster. And coming from me? Lol.
Alright, I'm boldly going where no Malazan has gone before! Out.
Hmm.. looks like I need to consider how the communications I type are going to sound to ensure I don't get stamped as scum simply by not explaining myself in complete thoughts.... I must be getting old!
Fener nailed my reasoning. I believe Ampelas is probable scum due to his style of play so far. It isn't a strong case and is based on a gut feel after reviewing his posts.
People are quick to point it out but rather then be wtf and vote for him they just give him an excuse and let him slide. WTF is up with that. Tennes jumps in and makes yet another weird post and vote.

Caught up and it seems there's alot of bullshitting going on. I've read through the supposed cases on me, I still don't have a clue why there are even one vote on me, so if anyone understands what the fuck is going in, would you mind explaining.
Serc is still being jumpy and I don't like that. I was fine with letting his mistake go for the good of the game, but I definitely don't like his play and wouldn't mind lynching him if necessary. My best bet for today is Korvalain, who has been trying to screw this game up, it seems. Spreading confusion and trying to dig out power roles are classic scum tactics. I might as well
vote Korvalain
sigh
will you please think a bit for yourself, and start looking for easy lynches?
i'll explain, one more time
if korv comes up inno, we'll have to lynch tellan.
if he ALSO comes up inno, with 2 NKs per lynch, we'd be another 6 people down.
please stop getting tunneled on the clusterfuck, if you are inno.
or, if you are scum, continue in the same vein,
Interesting advice. I'll keep it in mind as we move forward.
??? That is a weird response, Tennes when Kesso isn't even addressing you or talking about you?
Then there is this his second weird post in a couple of posts. This is also the second time that people have pointed out his weirdness. Is it scummy yes does it mean that he is scum. Possibly. I have been watching Tennes for the last 2 days and he has all of one post with any sort of content. Even then it is just a list of players and their posts and who is a high poster and a mid poster. Which to me just looks like someone who has been called out on his lack of content and is posting some crap to make it look like content.
This is what I am refering to

Only time to check out a few folks.. so I looked up Fener and Hood's Path (hope I didn't miss 1 of them getting killed). Neither have committed to anything or made any cases so far and both have low post-counts.
And.. looks like a few folks noticed I'm just voting early to stir people up. Sadly, random early votes are being construed as unhelpful. :-( /sigh
Remove vote
Now all this adds up to me to a low posting scum.
Vote Tennes
I am going to be around for a bit if people want to talk then I will probably be off for a while. I should check back in a couple of hours after that.
