[QUOTE=Gadarene] Spontaneous comments and visible frustration are very strong town tells, in my estimation. And an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope. [/QUOTE] But with _my_ usual level of visible frustration, I’m liable to get lynched anyway. On Day One. ---

Apparently all I need to do to get lynched is to say something. Or not say something. Is it my cologne? ---

Odd how several of the people I suspect currently have said something similar to “I’m going to _have to_ vote for **fluiddruid** ” Italicizing mine. Me thinks the mafia are piling on one of their own. Well, of course some of them are voting for her, but you see what I mean.

Thank God they got one! If **fluid** hadn’t been scum, I would have… well, thrown up my hands in dismay and disbelief, at the very least. Scum predictions: Fluid, Idle Thoughts, Lemur, and either Hal or Diggit. Or course, these are based completely and totally on Idle Thoughts and dnooman’s lists and Gadarene’s comments about them, so they are massively cheating and irrelevant to actual gameplay. As far as actual gameplay goes, Lightnin’, Omi, and tirial all scream Town to me. SnakescatLady, Come to the Dark Side, and Blaster Master are more problematic but I lean Town. I would be wildly suspicious of Caerie D and Millit, except that I know they aren’t possible. Nesta, Lemur, Rachm Qoch, Hal, Diggit, and Idle are all on the “mild suspicion” list. I post this only so that I can look back on it objectively, because otherwise I WILL end up going “tirial… yeah, I knew that all along!” 'cause there’s nothing like hindsight and delusion. And no, I won’t outline the specific reasons for all of those, because I’m not a player, I don’t have to, and what are you gonna do, lynch me for it? 😃 But tommorow, chances are about 90% that Caerie will swing without Town seriously considering other prospects… so sad. ---

Yay town! I have to admit that I didn’t have a strong scum read on fluiddruid, but I didn’t offer an opinion either way. Could someone sum up for me the points against fluiddruid that brought the conclusion that she’s scum? The only things I can remember was the discussion long ago about her being a mod and therefore entitled to a juicy role and the fact that she’s voted for town outright thoughtout the game. Oh yeah, Wasn’t fluiddruid as Kyrie’s breadcrumb a substantial part of the case against fluiddruid? **Kyrie** , Did you investigate fluiddruid? Now that they finally got a scum, there should be good information to be had from previous posts (Not that I’m rereading all that stuff). As for lightnin’, I have him on my ‘town’ list from Day 2, which of course should warrant re-evaluation, but I’m not actually playing the game so I’ll stick with what I got. I also had CaerieD as scum based on her ridiculous assertions of not wanting to get into the town’s sticky mess and voting no lynch. CaerieD and fluiddruid were in the same Idle Thoughts category that Gadarene tipped us off with, so presumably CaerieD, Millet the Frail, and tirial are town. I guess CaerieD’s actions really were clueless town actions and not scum intransigence. Bad me. I will stick with DiggitCamara as scum based on flimsy evidence: his not voting for his top scum candidate on day one. I was kind of hoping the town would lynch town on day 4, just to see the reaction. ---

[QUOTE=sachertorte] **Kyrie** , Did you investigate fluiddruid? [/QUOTE] As much as I’d like to, I think I still can’t answer this without possibly providing too much information to any active players who may be inappropriately visiting this thread. Now that she’s dead, though, there are two things that made me very suspicious of **fluiddruid** that I can point out: When fluid cast her vote for **percypercy** , **Lightnin’** was the current vote leader. She explained that she was voting for percy because she thought Lightnin’ might have a power role. She very much made it seem as if she thought Lightnin’ was in danger of being lynched. However, when she explained her vote the next day, she said that at the time she cast it, she assumed that **Projammer** was going to be lynched regardless of her vote. Her statements, both quoted in [#813](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=8514719&postcount=813), are not consistent. She was, at best, casual with the truth. Lynch all liars, as they say over at mafiascum. I found it interesting that the next day, the town repeatedly bickered about whether it was Lightnin’ or Projammer who was saved by the switch to percy, without ever tracking down the source of their confusion. The second thing that made me very suspicious, although it happened after I had voted for her, was fluid’s [claim to have voted for me twice](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=8515549&postcount=831). She voted for me only once in the game thread – I suspect that she also voted for me once as night kill in the mafia discussion area and accidentally referenced both votes. However, I can’t imagine any reason I would be a contender for day one’s night kill, so maybe it was just an honest mistake. Neither of these points were discussed much on day three, though, so I can’t say that they were significantly contributing factors in her eventual lynch. ---

[/QUOTE] I should have mentioned that **tirial** touched on both of these points, although she got the voting thing backwards (she thought that fluid had claimed that I voted for her twice,) and tirial was definitely a contributing factor.
