Ok, finally got some weekend time, so here are my thoughts on Emur...
So, Emur's interest in Omtose starts fairly early, when they single Omtose out for low posting:

Vote Kadagar Fant
Because I've got a suspicion and I want to see where it goes.
tempting to join to see where hanas experiment will go.
That being said in all the drama that happened in the previous day Omtose didn't really make any points just drove by lynching. Strikes me as the kind of behavior where you're trying to fly under the radar.
Im hoping to be on for the next little while. If not its good night for now.
Im curious what Hanas got here.
About Omtose I agree, apparently time is not excuse and I think they have not posted any thoughts at all.
OE hasn't either,but oh well
vote Omtose
Where are y'all anyway? Time's running
What interests me is that Emur completely ignores four of the five people who hadn't voted at all on the previous day, and only mentions Olar in passing. No explanation for why OE is dismissed in favour of Omtose, despite OE only having one post and not voting at all.
Also interesting is the "time's running" comment. Considering there were about 26 hours left in the day at this point, it stands out. It's not the last time Emur makes this sort of comment either.

only did a really quick read through
I see pressuring Gait didn't give us any info afaik
remove vote
I don't have a case so with Ultama being at L-2 you won't need my vote today
this is moving really slow(I'm not certainly helping)
I don't really like Ult saying their name was mentioned, the names mentioned there have high ranks. And I would need a reread to sort my thoughts about them and people voting
I should have more time tommorow
This is the first post of Emur's that really stood out to me. They say the thread doesn't need their vote today, then says the game is moving slowly, then says they don't like Ultama's actions. It reads like someone being very reluctant to vote, but not wanting to say why.
Later, Emur returns and it looks like they provide the hammer to Ultama's lynch, but in actual fact it's Aparal Forge who hammers. Why is it important for Emur to look like they're on the train?

I'm here and not really up-to-date
I'm not personally convinced about Ultama's alignment too much, but I'm more inclined he's on the other fatcion. People who voted doesn't really make it easier for me. But I don't want no lynch so I'll take it
vote Ultama
will come back later today
Day five, Emur returns to voting Omtose:

I've got a pretty good idea on what's happening on thread. I'm wondering how much it actually plays into the scenes though. If we lynch a player, do his forces then disappear from whatever map Shin has drawn up? Thus, we have to tactically identify where we are on the map, where our teammates and enemies are, and then somehow manage to turn that into a useful lynch for our team.... This doesn't really seem like a faction game other than there are teams.
Seems like a stalemate now unless someone votes for their own team members on accident and we manage a lynch that way.
Which is still quite likely I'd say, I'm ceratinly not confident with people here, lot of them are still question marks for me and last lynch left some confusion in me too, I'm personally not really reluctant to vote those as not doing so would be kinda lame for me...
Trying to sort my mind after Ultama lynch. Also regarding to Telas's post about tactics.
vote Omtose
About the last day or when I posted that, I thought we have roughly 2 hours to timeout. I was really in rush, must've terribly misread soemthing.
We're now into day six, and Emur is voting Omtose yet again, despite consistent lack of interest from the rest of the thread:

Back at last.
I didn't drive by vote, I though KF had the right idea about Fanderay. I didn't give a reason as that would just be parroting KF's post
Hanas is who interests me. He intentionally gave wrong info about the scenes, and now wants us to follow him, with no valid or verifiable reason
It started because of this, they say they're interested in Hanas, yet then they confidently claim Hanas gave wrong info intentionally (whole the idea seems dumb to me, just why would they?) and the post doesn't lead to further discussion. Denul's countervote did ask for info and proved to be useful. They got some thoughts in later on the other hand. They kept confusing me with their faction allingment, but now I think they're not in my faction.
I had this gut feeling they're important, although we all feel important don't we, for some reason I chose them for my vote from low posters on D1, and now when I think I figured it I want to have some use of it. I'd certainly be willing to vote elsewhere but I've put some effort here already and they strike me as someone I don't want to stand against me and my faction, so once again
vote Omtose
This whole post is rubbish, quite frankly. Demonstrably, Emur's interest in Omtose started before Omtose made any mention of Hanas, because their first post about Omtose is in relation to the Fanderay lynch. Emur started voting for Omtose on day two, how would they have had any information on Omtose's alignment at that early point? "Gut feeling"s and "for some reason"s don't explain anything about why Emur is really voting Omtose, especially with the kind of consistency we've seen from Emur so far.
And I wonder if Emur is pushing Omtose as a safe bet, to make it look like Emur is doing something useful, without revealing anything about themselves. The flip-flopping on the Ultama lynch, the fixation on Omtose, and a brief interest in Gait, all seem to point to someone who is trying very hard to fly under the radar, without getting called on it.
If this were a town game, I'd be jumping up and down screaming SCUM right now, which is probably why Emur stands out so much to me in the first place. But everything I've seen from him suggests he's not in my faction, and his squirrellyness is ringing some alarm bells.
Vote Emurlahn.
