What's up, everyone? It looks like we don't have that many new posts since last I checked in, and very little to go on in general. I'm thinking I'll read the thread again real quick, then maybe there will be enough of us around to find some things worth seriously discussing.

Jesus! Lunch break you know. I am not going to be glued to my computer all day long. My read ups take quite a while as I try and get a feel for the thread at the time of posting. Like that one from Mockra you quoted, that was day one, about four or five posts in or something. Then nothing since. Then you got Osseric posting like 4 posts in a row to just become a higher poster. How is that helpful to town? In my opinion Osseric looks more suspicious for doing just that.

You got Olar who is bat shit crazy but makes some good points then gets defensive then flies off the wall. Why is he so jumpy and nervous?

I vaguely remember seeing somewhere that depending on whether you have an odd or even number of players left that its sometimes better to go to night and wait for the next day. I cant remember which way round it was though as this was a while back

!

Subtle suggestion of going to night here?!?!? WTF

[Korvalain]

What are we going to look for in our killers this game? A low poster day one seems unlikely in my opinion as that would garner attention. Lots of posts day one then drift away throughout the game. Likely. Middle of the road, posting content but not too much more than likely, partner either also being middle of the road or one high and one low?

For me Liosan is in a good position as scum. Not one of the highest posters but just above middle. He has also pointed towards the low poster route as a good idea when we are only midway through day one.

Another one is Emurlahn, he doesn't say much that we could pounce on but he says enough to not look dodgy. I mean look at his posts so far...

Good evening, everyone. I just got home from work, and I had to sit in traffic forever. Anyway, it looks like you guys have dived right in, and the game is running along at full speed. This looks like it might turn out to be a very entertaining game.

I'm glad you are entertained

Thank you, mate, but you made it sound like you're not being entertained yourself. What's wrong ?

 Emurlahn, on 04 September 2012 - 10:52 PM, said:

At the very least, we seem to be having a much more interesting day 1 than in the past. I like the idea of skipping the usual sex talk and light banter, and moving straight into trying to decipher just exactly what we're dealing with.

 Emurlahn, on 05 September 2012 - 02:10 AM, said:

I'm back. I had to cook dinner and do some work that I failed to finish at the office. I took a shower, put on my mafia clothes(sweat pants and t-shirt), and I'm ready to rock and roll. I just cracked a nice cold one, and I'll be around for 3 or 4 hours if anyone wants to discuss specifics. If not, we can pass the time waiting for interesting content.

So who all is here at the moment?

 Emurlahn, on 05 September 2012 - 02:33 AM, said:

I'm not sure, but I think everyone but Korvalain has posted.

I still like the low poster route. This is a tried and true method for finding scum, and when we have strayed from it, we have often let scum win. One may argue that you might be symping dear Ossy or Mockra in your defense against low posters in general, and offerring me a (mid-high poster) as an alternative.

X post with Korv. I agree with you that Emur has posted nothing while appearing to have been participating. That is worth consideration.

That's kind of the point though, isn't it? We've found enough scum lurking in the low posters that it almost makes sense for them to start posting higher, just to allay suspicion. I think Emur, smack bang in the middle of the posters but with practically no content to speak of, is probably a good bet.

Or Fener is reacting strongly to an Emur suggestion?

[Korvalain]

Mockra being a low poster is more valid than say me being a low poster as he was around at the beginning of the game whereas I was not. I also pointed out that Osseric increased her post count the minute she was mentioned. So I don't see how I could be detracting away from either of these two. I think Emur is a good bet to be scum.

[Fener]

Emur's posts have been pretty worthless, just like a lot of people in this game. After getting boned by low posters in recent m&p minis I am not gonna let it happen again. Fool me once, shame on me. Fool me twice...yada yada yada

Sure it's wifom. Doesn't mean it's not also a valid argument.

I'm not defending anything. I said before all of the low poster arguments that Emur was suspicious. I think he's a good pick for scum. My point was that I think Emur is a better bet than Mockra, not that I didn't think Mockra was scum. And I'm the second lowest poster, so I'm not sure what you mean by that last bit.

I'll vote Mockra if that's where the voting goes. I just get bored by low poster hunts.

[Emurlahn]

Guys, I can understand where you're coming from by looking at me, but we still have plenty of time, and I just haven't see a great deal to latch onto, yet. I'm here, I'm willing to discuss, but you're looking in the wrong area if you think that you'll find a killer in me. It's day 1, and we still have plenty of time. Most people tend to grow more aggressive as the hours until time out get lower. I was hoping for more content before trying to make some flimsy case just yet. We have time. We may end up having to Lynch someone who is either low posting or seems to be middle of the road, but I can assure you that neither of those descriptions fit me. In summary, if my post content continues to stay as it was, then yes, maybe a case could be made for me not being helpful, but that would the only viable case. Voting for me for not getting deep into the discussions as of yet, with still plenty of time left in the day is not viable, in my opinion. Like I said, I'm here, and plan to be here, and WILL be an active, helpful force in finding these killers. Don't count me out without further scrutiny.

Meh, I don't like Emur's posts either, especially his last post that reads like someone giving a really awkward public statement after being charged with a crime. But any case against him about how he has no content applies to most of the players since we're so early in the game.

Re: the second point, if you keep posting, soon you won't be a low poster. Funny how that works, huh.

[Emurlahn]

Korvalain added me as a friend. Just figured it was proper to make that known, probably an accident?

[Emurlahn]

@Fener, I was just trying to explain why I felt like waiting for more posts before diving in, that's all. I don't see much wrong in your logic about your suspicions, but I am wary of those few who are just tossing a few names out there, and hoping something sticks. I know we need a lynch on day 1, but we need a useful lynch, of someone who will hopefully provide us with SOMETHING, and hopefully someone who is a better target than something based purely on early day 1, getting started posts.
