So, Mockra has been on my radar since day two, and while Rashan made a case for his lynch it was somewhat overshadowed by the train on Korvalain, so I thought it was worth going back to.
Day one he signs in late, doesn't have time to read through fully, so follows the train on Sorrit.
Day two he is rather more active. he starts with a discussion of mechanics, before beginning his attack on Serc. At the time, Serc was suggesting the lynch of Galain. This was generally opposed because at the time general consensus was that Galain was human, but Mockra was the first and most vehement of Serc's attackers, which suggests to me that Mockra knew Galain was a zombie and was using the belief that Galain was human to direct attention elsewhere. Mockra spends the rest of the day trying to achieve Serc's lynch. He stresses the importance of going after zombies when defending Galain, but advocates Serc's lynch on the basis that he is probably either a zombie or an independent, despite the fact that Serc at the time s hinting that he is the priest, and it would be detrimental to lynch him. Mockra completely ignores all other cases (there were suspicions of Korbas, Ampelas and Kaschan at the time), and deviates from his fixation on Serc only to answer questions levelled at him by Rashan. However, instead of answering the accusations put forward, he tries to discredit Rashan by accusing him of quoting the wrong post, backtracking, and defending Serc:

This post below has the smell of Zombie trying to steer us towards a human lynch. In fact, I have noticed quite a few posts where people voting Serc concede that he is likely a human, but then vote him anyway. Are you people frigging dense??? The Zombies are the tthreat. Not an independant with his own win condition. Not a dog, not any of the human faction. Zombies.
They can Kill, they can recruit and they are 10 strong right now. Anyone on Serc's train that has admitted he may be independant is instantly suspect to me right now. This includes Mockra in the post below.

No, I agree completely to the importance of taking out Zombies. And if we can somehow be sure as to someone we think IS or at least have a pretty high suspicion, then we should take them out. But they seem to be laying low, in my opinion. So if by the end of day two if we can't isolate a zombie target I would suggest taking out another member of a faction who is already down two. Seems a safe kill to me. But I was also wondering if you are suggesting that we spend all our time taking out zombies until they are all dead before targeting anyone or anything else? Human Faction VCs: To be the last faction standing. I'm not saying this suggests that you're not part of a faction, or maybe you're just part of the BBs, I dont know. That's not where Im going with this. Im just wondering if it wouldnt be a quicker way to victory by taking out the other factions as quickly as possible. But to be honest, its hard to say at this point.I suggest we go for what seems to be the most SURE target. If we are more sure weve found a zombie, we take it out. If not we can take down each others factions in the stead, especially if we have a really strong suspicion like Galain's seeming connection to Sorrit, who might also be a Faction Leader. Because you said it could be either Sergeant Daniel Jackson - Sergeant of the squad BurnBridgers OR Corporal Mike Horvath - second in command of the BurnBridgers that Sorrit knew as part of his faction. But seeing as he was a dog, a PET, to the Sergeant, I'd say odds are if he knew someone he'd HAVE to know his master, who is also the man who found him (Benny - a border-collie who Sergeant Jackson found after becoming stranded, and decided to bring with him because of his sense of smell.) If Galain IS a Faction Leader for BBs, then everyone from both other factions, zombies, The Lone Avenger, Survivor, and even the Voodoo Master would all benefit from this.But I'm more willing to see where everyone else stands before I commit to anything just yet.
I think we can safely conclude that Serc is NOT in the BurnBridgers....I really don't like the way he's trying to coax us towards a possible human faction lynch already. Serc knows full well that unless a finder comes out and reveals themselves to say that they've found a zombie, there is hardly any possible way we'll be "SURE" (capital letters SURE) of a zombie lynch. In effect, that 'suggestion' is pretty much unworkable from the beginning - which of course automatically leads us back to the thought of lynching Galain. Notice that we can't be SURE of Galain's affiliation either, and yet Serc is pretty much taking that for granted.
Nowhere in the post of mine which you quote, Rashan, do I say that I believe that Serc is not a zombie but an independent. I do elsewhere put forward the possibility that Serc could be EITHER a zombie OR an independent, but please get your quotes right before the accusations start flying. And it's really weird that you defend Serc like this when Serc was the first person to start suggesting we go after someone who most of us are reasonably sure is NOT a zombie. As you yourself realise later on and try to backtrack a little bit.
Day three he is around very little. There is this post bringing up Serc AGAIN:

Yes, I know, I've been missing for ages. I don't even really have an excuse, aside from work during the day, and then just too sleepy in the evening. So, have I missed anything?No, don't worry, I've read up

I'm very glad to see we're getting somewhere, albeit at the loss of all healers. I have to say I immediately liked Anomandaris' theory, but then I have been suspicious of Serc from day 1. At the moment I have to admit that I think Rashan's theory on Korvalain is stronger, but I don't want us to suddenly discount Serc either.
and another responding to questions over his use of 'horde'. Nothing further on day 4 so far.
Add to all of this that he has been a relatively low poster and was very late signing in. While these are not enough to be suspicious on their own, it is all adding up to make me think Mockra is a zombie.
Vote Mockra.
