Rather than covering what most people have covered so far I want to mention Serc. My initial read through a few players stood out for different reasons. One of those that stood out to me was Serc

I'm here

This seems to be against the grain to what is on thread. Reading through the first few posts it appears out of context. Like he is trying but failing to fit in.
This isn't against the grain - everybody else is checking in, high 5s, bowing to Emperor - Your opinion that I fail to fit in is unjustified.
Post number 80/81 something like that

It looks like two people firing lasers out of their asses at a discombobulated garden gnome.
Quickly, we must steal his technology!

Really? Because on my screen its still the grumpy Chinese man
EDIT: fixed now
The discussion on thread at the time was about Rashan. Silanah had just voted for him. Atrahal had just made a case on Rashan (which resonated with me). Karosis had mentioned voted off "coasters" or those trying to keep a low profile. Following this case on Rashan by Atrahal both kalse and Korv immdeiately agree. serc agrees but doesn't add any of his own thoughts, he just posts those two posts about avatars.
I am reflecting the posts that I noticed and am following along the general thread here. There was no need to embellish things beyond what the others were asking. IT's only a short time into the game, too soon for conflict because very little has happened.
I cannot remember these post numbers as i'm half way through but these last two posts show one liners against Tellan. It is like he wants to avoid confrontation and conflict but add to the amounting pressure on Rashan.

People seem quick to hop on the bandwagon with Rashan.
It's possible I suppose, but seems just like setting RP to me...
discussing mechanics is not RP, imo

Steve? No, Silanah is Go-Kashiwabara, our Emperor.
I highly doubt my fellow Ministers would be so ignorant as all previous posters seem. Too many to vote now, I will sulk in my own despair.
What manner of recruiter will attempt to bribe us, I wonder. Certainly nothing civil so far.
Rashan, on 13 March 2012 - 02:31 PM, said:
I, for one, consider it interesting that there may be more than one lowly briber. A single entity taking advantage of our temporary lack of funds does not surprise me, but multiple? Perhaps we will be able to play them against each other.
This is what is being referred to, previously quoted by someone else, Atrahal maybe
I would like clarification on the underlined part

I can't really see anything in his posts that I would describe as properly discussing mechanics though.
discussing mechanic = vague Maybe role speculation would be more accurate
I am going to have another look to see if there is anything else added by Serc but I don't think there is. My point is that Serc seems to want to avoid notice.
He stands out from the thread because he does not participate with what is being said.
That being said I have only had one full read through the thread.
I asked a question I felt needed an answer. I'm just now getting back to try to play some more. If I tryly wanted to avoid notice, I would not have asked for more info, nor voiced an opinion about RP. Underlined last part simply not true.
Posts 15 and 17 between D'riss and Barghast could be just banter but it could also be looked at as signalling as they talk about food. Karosis votes for D'riss then Serc then Kalse then Okaros. Is that them all? His plays screams that any body will do as long as it isn't him. His vote becomes less strong due to this fact. Rashan mentioned the recruiter and also a killing pair under silanah's leadership which came out of no where, rashan also mentioned in one of his posts, in fact, post 94 that there may only be one scum and a symp whereas it states in the OP that there are multiple scum. Korv mentioned multiple scum and how he thinks they would play in post number 131.
That is all I have at the moment. My top 3 for scum today would be Rashan, Serc and Karosis. Karosis seems to have his fingers in the most pies at the moment. If he is scum we could look at who he hasn't voted. His first vote on Serc though smacked of a hello.
For now I am going to
Vote Serc
I should be back later to change my vote if needed.
