I am going to respond to several posts over my next few posts. Then I will post a conclusion.

If ampelas had of posted it with some reasoning like above we might have taken a different view, the fact that he comes up with a good reasoning a day late when the number of people questioning it has gone from two to four is more than a little odd and makes the complete lack of content on day 1 all the more striking.
vote ampelas
You know i didnt like the way you were playing on day 1, and this response proves to my mind that it was a deliberate attempt at not posting rather than having nothing to say.
First and most importantly 'had of' is gramatically incorrect. There is no need for the 'of' in that sentence.
So Liosan, what exactly is odd? That I came back and gave more reasoning for my Anomandaris vote after people had asked for it? Would it not have been more odd/more annoying had I said nothing more at all on the subject?
You did not like the way I played on day 1? If this was because of my low number of posts, that's fine, I get that. However, your wording suggests you actually didn't like the way I was playing from the content of my 4 or 5 posts, which is strange. How can one be rubbed the wrong way from so few posts? If that is really your viewpoint, then I suggest you have some sensitivity issues.
Yeah, i am sensitive because you posted nothing, no i think you understand perfectly well that i didnt like your contribution saying that i flat out state you made none. Frankly yeah, it is odd that you come back on with a reasonable statement about your voting hours later when people start questioning it. Day 1 you could say more than a couple of words and once the finders dead you have turned into a rather talkative and bolchy player, throwing your weight around the thread. Reading through your defence of my case, it seems you spent more time complaining about my grammar and tone than actually addressing the points brought up. You seem to deliberately not want to get involved on day 1, your posting times are fairly irregular which makes me suspect you spend a lot of time lurking.

In fact given that we have lost the finder it looks like both ampelas and korvalain have changed their playstyle slightly (though given ampelas barely posted yesterday it wouldnt take much. I definitely think ampelas is a low posting scum, but i can see where driss is coming from with the korvalain case too, and we also might get more info from a korvalain lynch as they were central to the behaviour of a few players yesterday, and have garnered enough attention today to give us a lot of links to other players through voting and thread activity if we get a scum result off their lynch.
Thoughts?
How have I changed my posting style. Day 1 I posted little and I responded when asked directly. Day 2 I have done the same. Where is this change? Instead of saying it arbitrarily, back up your assertion please.
Well lets see, you went from saying "Here" or "here again" to

What would you like me to comment on?
If it's who I find the most scummy right now, it's you Fener, for so quickly following
If it's on what I make of the game so far - I have no comment for the moment.

Scum or lazy townie, you've got to do better than that. ^^

Point me towards your contribution if you may be so kind. I keep looking, but I can't seem to find it.

Right, I've just realised I'm not going to be around at all for the next 22 hours or so, so I'm placing my vote now.
Vote Anomandaris
Because he's the killer. Duh.
That was pretty much your day 1 contribution. You make no effort to participate on thread, you made one vote which you explain by simply saying he is a killer, duh. The supposed response to direct queries is a basic OMGUS response of "its not me its you".
Now your day 2 responses which as anyone can see show a distinct change in volume if nothing else, though you still arent really saying anything just becoming more verbose in your defence of doing nothing on day 1.

I've cut and clumped some of Ano's comments in one here.
First, NO case had picked up steam yet. The votes were only trickling in. It would be hours yet before any individuals started having votes poured on them. So no, there were no other more useful places to put my vote, particularly as I didn't agree with any of the cases put forward at that point. I should vote for something I don't agree with? Sure, if we need to get a lynch and time is running out. But this was still very early in the day, with many many hours left. So no, I don't agree with just piling on my vote on whoever had the most at the time. Now that would have been stupid of me.
Was my vote useful? No.
But then neither were the votes that led to the lynch of Korbas.
Should I have given my reasoning then and there for the Ano vote? Maybe.
But my reasoning, which I belatedly gave to you, was weak and arbitrary in any case. So would it have made a difference? Probably not.
Was my vote a 'lazy' vote? Decidedly not.
The lazy thing to do would have been to vote for the person/s with the most votes at the time, especially when I didn't agree with it.
So far, the only true points you guys have made against me is that I have been a low contributor. This is true. Time constraints etc. The rest about my vote and supposed changes in patterns of play are ridiculous fictitions which have been made up in order to add more 'meat' to any case on me. But they don't hold up.

Yep, that's what I'm saying. I had little time and that was the option left to me. I would do it again in the same situation, with nothing that had been said at that point sticking out for me.
Sure I can contribute, I'm not a moron. But I am also not someone who spams the thread. If I see something worth commenting on, I'll do it. Speaking of which, I have to say you guys have posted some great stuff this day, and I'll be commenting on it just as soon as I finish responding to all this fan mail

You can contribute, but your yet to contribute, at all.

So is that a Korvalain lynch or not?
Anyways, what I get from the comments/cases made on me is that people have seen a low poster who has after all said just enough for them to make a case out of it. Some think me an easy target for a lynch, others are just following. Some of you might be scum, others just not thinking straight. There is no valid argument against me except for the one that I am a low contributor, which, on a day like today when so much good stuff has been posted, is one of the weaker arguments to pursue. But I guess I'm biased in that regard.
I still like Eloth's (and now Atrahal's) arguments for an Omtose vote. I would in fact go so far as to say that that has been my one truly contributing post so far, where I commented on exactly why I personally found Omtose suspicious.
Now because I disagree with a player not participating I am trying for an easy lynch, despite the fact that the korvalain lynch seemed to have already reached critical mass and was about to go off, and no one else seemed willing to committ to lynching you. I voted you on day 1 for not playing, and no one followed up, then on day 2 when you made a cursorer effort then disappeared again and no one followed up. For an easy lynch, ampelas your still here.
Finally you actually discuss something about the thread, with no evidence to back anything up and just an arbitrary grouping of pretty much every other player.

Mostly what I like about today is how a couple of sides have been drawn, a few seeming alliances made. There's Liosan, Anomandaris, Karosis and perhaps D'riss. There's Eloth and Atrahal and possibly Anthras (sigh, I already see I'm going to have to read through again).
A productive lynch would be to lynch one of these, see how the trains develop, see how these semi-alliances hold up, see the CF, and then analyse accordingly. Now that would be fruitful.
So where do omtose and yourself fit in to this grand scheme, now you followed them on a vote should we group the two of you as well? Also kinda rich saying we should analyse the trains and the cf when you have done none of that throughout the game.
