> [@Prof.Pepperwinkle](#): > > So, yes, my last post was a paraphrasing of Tom Joad’s speech at the end of Grapes of Wrath. It was his **goodbye** speech, and that’s the only relevance. No claim for me except Vanilla Town. **Prof. Pepperwinkle** , I think you are scum. No offense and all. Even though I voted for **TexCat** I think you are the best lynch today, and I would have voted for you if your lynch was in question. Why do I think you’re scum? You posted a lot, but with no scum hunting. LtL doesn’t count. You had Days of chances to come around but you didn’t. I’ll be surprised if you don’t flip scum. ---

I touched base with Ulla, she’s sick. Hopefully she’ll come by and post. I’m torn between speeding up the game with reveals of low posters and my belief that the longer a game goes on the more it benefits town. This game becomes more manageable with each Day, I’m hoping low posters will participate more as the game gets smaller. Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk ---

Hoopy did a WoW on TexCat earlier in [#260](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=19990011&postcount=260) and brought up some good points about her vote history and some inconsistencies - might save you some time. I can see a case on her, hadn’t noticed jsgoddess defending her, texcat called out her reason for voting lakai. I also hadn’t noticed Scathach calling her out for knowing Colby’s meta yet voting him anyway - that’s a result of not doing the legwork myself. ---

Having read the Day, I’m still comfortable with my vote on the Professor. His early efforts to persuade people to follow a course which later evidence was adduced to show he himself had abandoned, his willingness to advocate that unspecified third parties study people he claimed to be suspicious of on those spurious grounds, and the fact that a known Seer claimed two Days in a row that Prof was advocating pro-Scum actions are good enough for me. ---

The number of inactive players in this game is highly frustrating. Let’s look at some of them. **Lakai**. Came in to drop the easy Prof P vote. Contributed absolutely nothing. One post. \*\*Total \*\ ***Lost**. Came in to avoid the modkill. Sick. **Khameleon**. Came in for the easy vote. Suggests that lurking is a valid town tactic. One post. \*\*Crys75. \*\*Complained that playing 3P is hard because everyone wants her dead. No vote. One post. **Hal Briston.** Popped by to congratulate town on a good night. No vote. One post. That’s all of the one-posters. I could do **everyone** with low post counts but that would be another nine posters just to analyze those with five posts or less. I do want to point out Inner Stickler. **First Post** : Congratulating town on the previous night. \*\*Second \*\ ***Post** : Voting for me with no justification. \*\*Third Post: \*\*Justifies vote only because I called it out as being lazy. Says " And I will be whatever I want and you will simply have to deal." **This post was edited.** **Fourth Post** : Refuses to read any of my post history for the purpose of making a stronger case against me. \*\*Fifth Post: \*\*Something about cultist handshaking. So, let’s cross-reference this against my analysis in D1#152 Hal Briston, Crys, and Khameleon show up on both. Nesta deserves to be on here as well, with only one substantive post and three total. But at least one of them was substantive. And, of course, Scathath and Enderw are on the “to be modkilled” list. In other words, the folks who didn’t play yesterDay are, by and large, still not playing. **If you are town and you are lurking, you are badly hurting your teammates. Please play more. The post counts are slowing down, and the commitment is not as large as it was in the first few Days.** \*\*Khameleon \*\*is still scummy in my book. **Inner Stickler** is on there, too, for putting down a weak vote and saying that there’s no reason to read a player’s post history to back a suspicion. \*\*Sachertorte \*\*may be scum or may be third party, but I feel that he is actively anti-town. I don’t trust him father than I can throw him, and since we’re on the internet that means I can’t throw him at all. ---

My list from D1#152 was players who didn’t vote on any given day. Not necessarily players who specifically lurked yesterday. The point still stands, though - people need to play more. ---

I don’t know how I feel about the Prof. I do know that every one of my votes in this game have been on town. Which is disheartening. I had hoped I’d be able to analyze more this Day, but that hasn’t happened. I don’t get a scum vibe from the Prof, and I want a vote down. Something about Khameleon is pinging, so… \*\*Vote Khameleon. \*\* ---
