But I have more. Yesterday was so full of connections that it was actually a joy to read. There was the Barghast - Rashan defence

Barghast is one of the highest contributors, at least in my notes. (I don't have notes, except in my brain).

yeah, it's a bit rich saying I haven't said anything all game, tbh.
Whilst I may not have been as earnest in the case-making as some, I certrainly believe I was fairly consistent yesterday. I disliked the case on Rashan from the beginning and after the joke vote on Fener fizzled out, I switched to Karosis, whom I mentioned as worth keeping an eye out early on due to his vote hopping antics.
I've provided steady cvommentary on most of Day 1, it's not my fault most of it revolved around Rashan, whom I figured as likely town early on,

I especially like it when in a recruiting game when one player calls another player obviously town.
There were also some other intesting interactions between . Tennes - Olar Ethil

Mockra, that's a great summary.
No, it isn't.
Vote Mockra
For repeating almost exactly the analysis of the lynch train which Karosis made just before he was lynched, down to exactly who he found the most suspicious, and then passing it off as his own analysis.
I'm also happy to vote Tennes for the stupidity/scumminess of the Silanah reasoning for a vote on Karosis, as no one seems willing to lay their cads on the table regarding Rashan, despite quite a few of you going 'ooh, that's another suspicious thing you've done, Rashan.'
Yes, all that has really been added to what Karosis said are the quotes there.
I agree that Tennes comes across quite suspicious there and the 'following sil, he's innocent' thing could be a very clumsy attempt by scum to appear innocent, either way it is pretty lazy. I understand time constraints but it doesn't sit well.
Rashan I was feeling was less scummy again, maybe because Karosis felt more so at that point, though reading over his last few posts I was really impressed he didn't have a fit and was helpful to town and his thought son the possible recruiting mechanic were interesting, though personally I think it might be impractical. The better you than me comment really struck me as scummy though. While most players understand the sentiment town players are supposed to play as a collective to help each other and that kind of attitude is usually counter-productive and can be damaging in the long run. Checking it against Karosis' exit when it became inevitable it is quite a contrast.

In a lot of my notes so far Atrahal has been the aggressor, attacking quite a few people. You see this first with Rashan on post number 68. Number 142 he agrees with Karosis about Korvalian and then has a pissing match with tellan. I haven't went further than this in my notes yet but I think Atrahal is more than likely town, I cannot see scum being that "out there". I asked you about him because something seemed off about him but over a re read i'm not sure at all. I am going to have a look through and see what I can find
edit, spelling
I've had a similar feeling in regards to Atrahal, there was a point, especially after his exchanges and agreements with Karosis that I felt suspicious of him but re-reading his posts he doesn't strike me as very scummy, this is quite a gut feeling though. I honestly don't think scum if they were a certain type of player would always keep quiet and be non-confrontational, so it is not even this angle that gives me that feeling. Of course Karosis showed up as inno and so maybe this is effecting my judgement in Atrahals favour since I see to have the two linked in my mind.
Barghasts list of low posters struck me as scummy though. Yes, low posters can be concerning as the game goes on but it is better to have a post with content, discussion and opinions rather than have a high number of posts in which little is being said.
I am still interested in Tellan and Rashan, Rashan was very opposed to the possible symping tellan seemed to be doing for him and Tellan said this was not the case and after this was picked up by a few people became suspicious of Rashan. Tellan said it was less a defence and more an attack against Atrahal and I though yesterday it could be a case of fake symping but the whole thing leaves me unsure. I can't see Tellan taking that long to pick up Rashan's hints and then turning suspicion on him so fast, it is just so clumsy. That is what makes me think that it could be a case of fake symping, I was wrong about it being fake symping on behalf of Karosis but there were few other players getting heat around the time, Fener had a couple of casual votes but there is little to go off there since he has said little and it was mainly based on the history of the avatar so I can't see it having become such a great threat.
Both of these interactions were fairly early in the day. Just when I would expect for recruits to be interacting with recruiters. There was also some vote following. Which always makes for decent signalling.

Also,
vote liosan
for now. yeah yeah yeah, i'm being a sour puss, but your RP isn't helping us in any way and is incredibly distracting. This vote is subject to change upon Liosan actually becoming useful.

I'm going to have a read up over the next few hours too. I was thinking overnight how scum might play this game and I think it is in their best interest not to lynch. If there is no lynch it gives them more of a pool of people to recruit from. You could argue that they may want to eliminate the opposing scum but the chances are that they'll hit town more than scum this early in the game. [thoughts] We cannot allow them a free ride, so before reading the thread I suppose i'm looking for someone who is avoiding confrontation and laying low [/thoughts]It also makes me suspicious of people who want to wait until Friday to play, or cannot participate but will at a "later" date, this kind of talk makes me think that they are waiting to build up their numbers so that they have symps and people who agree with them. I'll have a proper read up today
Well I posted in the sign up that I couldn't play until I had the time off. As is I didn't expect the game to start until next week.
But at present I am going to put my, and keep my vote on Liosan until he stops posting like a twat.
vote Liosan
Then there is this to go with the defending from above

hey, peoples, been hella busy today. Meant to get caught up at lunch, but other things came up., right now I got about an hour and a half to dedicate to the game (and homework) before I have to rush off to work.
I see Okaros is trying to raise some suspicions about me,basing it off my attempt to get lo-posters to contribute. Hrm, not much to add to that. some of the people on my list Fener, Emu, Ruse, Omtose) have contributed basically nothign so far. A few (Okaros, Tennes) have had a few posts but tried to make them meaningful, and Liosan continues to RP, successfully making sure that whatever points he's trying to get across
whan all is said and done, i will
vote emurlahn
because it's the oddest vote on the train.
Rashan, on 16 March 2012 - 12:23 PM, said:
Oh. Yes, actually. Could we get a ruling on that, PS?
Next is Ruse with 5, Emurlahn with 9, and Omtose with 11.
Even with only 11 posts, Omtose is interacting, so I have no worries there.
Ruse and Emurlahn, I think, are slightly more worrying. Ruse had a family emergency. I will not lynch him for that. If it was a lie, I'm going to be dissapointed, but if it is the truth I don't think we should lynch him right now.
So Emurlahn is the lowest poster who is suspicious, at least. Someone already had a case on him that holds true. Strange vote, little interaction until he was called out. '
Remove Vote
Vote Emurlahn
Tennes, on 16 March 2012 - 12:59 PM, said:
Even if all 6 anom's voted for Lio we won't have enough for a lynch

I am around and can change my vote. I don't like Ruse' excuse of RP, he had time to contribute whilst doing that, he could have also posted more which goes in his favour somewhat, his coming on after my case goes against him as well as people brushing off his absence like it didn't matter, so I will keep my eye on Ruse but
Remove Vote
Vote Fener
I can add it to the Liosan train if and when needed. Fener needs to talk more.

I'm back,
Willing to go for a low post lynch, though I think scum wouldn't be quite so low as some of these, nevertheless getting ride of non contributing town is probably for the best.
I'd like to see if Lio will stop the RP, since they seem to be around regulary, and once they drop the convoluted language they may be of more use to town. Similarly, I'd like like give Ruse a chance to start playing now that RL issues are sorted. Fener on the other hand simply hasn't been around at all with no explanation or anything, which is a shame but it's also frustrating.
Vote Fener
I am willing to switch to Lio to get a lynch for the day
Now just because someone votes for the same person that another person votes for doesn't make them on the same team. However any of these could easily be early signalling. I think that I will read over this some more and see if I can see any more connections as we do have a full day remaining.
