Peeker burning your dog!
The magic rock!
…anyways…
I’m stuck between a couple of choices. Peeker is up there for going back and forth on some things (from what I can tell, anyway), such as lynching BlaM for lurking. And the metagaming and constantly throwing out what appears to be random thought–it feels like he’s trying to put on a persona for the game. Which is annoying, but not damning…shifty at worst. Why create a smokescreen around yourself if you’re pro-town?
Looking at the votes gives me some other good candidates. The people who voted after macey started getting votes but who did NOT vote for macey are:
zeriel (one jokey post voting and un-voting dotchan)
NAF (voted chucara–that vote still stands)
buffy (SCUM–voted cookies)
Pleonast (Mason–voted JSexton, unvoted JSexton, then voted Thing Fish)
Diggit (voted chucara–that vote still stands)
Cookies (unvoted JSexton, voted BlaM, but currently voting for Hawkeyeop)
amrussell (unvoted peekercpa, voted Rapier, currently voting dotchan)
Natlaw (unvoted Diggit, voted peekercpa, has since unvoted)
chucara (voted Thing Fish, unvoted during Night, sounding almost like he knew his vote might have immediate consequences)
Almost Human (voted Millit the Frail, then quickly unvoted)
I would expect to find more scum in here and in the pool of never-voters (MHaye, BlaM, Nanook, Hal).
I can give the second-listers some leeway, as they weren’t around to make votes or got caught in the board outage. Lynching the lurkers is a gamble, and I want to hear more from all of them before I throw out an actual vote. (Despite my belief that, statistically speaking, there’s probably at least one scum among them.)
It’s the first-listers that I want to focus on. There are potentially a few scum diversion attempts in there, none of which really went anywhere, possibly due to the board outage, but more likely due to the fact that they couldn’t herd enough townies toward any other candidate without being extremely obvious.
More analysis to follow, stay tuned.
