Ed’s behavior is odd and his votes have been random at best.
I am starting to think the scum have got us, folks. They are, perhaps, just sitting on their hands and waiting for this thing to play out. Get involved, place votes, and at least say something!
It’s not looking good, to say the least. Very poorly played game by town at this point.
Current vote tallies (with voter(s), in chronological order):
special ed: 2 (Pleonast, Mahaloth)
Red Skeezix: 1 (Hirka T’Bawa)
Votes will be final when Day Three ends tomorrow, on Thursday, 5/5 at 11am CST.
Votes cast today, by player (in post number):
24 hours to go and only 3 votes in?
Nice, town. Nice.
So, okay, the obvious vote at the moment is Ed; he didn’t explain his votes very well, his attention-seeking behavior in the middle of Day 2 wasn’t particularly geared towards hunting Scum, and he’s the only guy who’s really had a case made against him. If we stay apathetic today, Town players will probably end up on the ed wagon by default; we could be looking at drift to an ed lynch or else a last-minute switch tomorrow morning followed by a scum victory.
What makes me uncomfortable about an ed lynch is, what is his scum motivation for making that noise on day 2? As we can see, scum are perfectly happy to remain 100% radio silent if it helps their cause.
So that leaves me thinking about the radio-silent ones: Hirka, red, Inner. Not really a hell of a lot to choose from among them. Red has been in on both lynch votes; Inner placed a fairly safe third vote on an investigated Town; Hirka has been on minimal participation and carries on from Zeriel, about whom I have an OMGUS-y suspicion.
Adding in some privileged information, because what the hell:
Astral and I are masons
Zeriel’s other contribution on Day 1 was to cast suspicion on Astral; on the other hand, Red’s sole post To-Day was to declare that he was casting a hairy eyeball at Astral.
Hrm. Red, Hirka, Red, Hirka:
Vote Hirka
And what the hell another vote chart:

Red and SpEd both kinda stand out in those final votes, don’t they? ponders shifting vote
Today is extra busy for me, so I don’t expect to be able to post much, if at all. I’m going to leave my vote on ed for now, but with the new info I’ll have to relook.
Town:
Mahaloth
Jimmy Chitwood
Tom Scud
Astral
Everyone else:
Pleonast
Hirka T’Bawa
Normal Phase
special ed
Red Skeezix
Inner Stickler
Tom, if we want to get quiet one, I suggest Inner Stickler.
Unvote Ed
Vote Stickler
Any particular reason for the preference?
(I’m ready to line up behind you on this, since a split Town creates the possibility of a last-minute Scum switch, especially if there are 4 Scum. But I’d like to hear your reasoning.)
Stickler, to me, is the more dangerous scum. Perhaps I’m wrong, but that is my reasoning.
Fair enough.
unvote
vote Stickler
Here’s Red:
post 41 – proposing plans isn’t a scum tell; day one is not the time for plans because we have no information; glowacks is half smudge/half fishing; vote glowacks
I had minor problems with this post on day one; namely the dismissal of the idea of trying to make plans on day one due to lack of information. I thought it avoided touching on the merits or lack thereof of the plan itself – potentially avoidant behavior due to an uncomfortable topic. I also didn’t see any fishing in glowacks’ post.
84 – (after astral chides everyone for not participating) gives astral the stinky eye. likes his vote against glowacks well enough for day one and astral’s post looks like someone trying to pull off a late-day swing. if glowacks is scum, astral might be too. Bad idea to follow astral’s suggestion of giving opinions about everyone else.
I can see the late-day swing logic if I squint.
One post about the “pornsite” issue, then
317 – vote giraffe, with no comment (other than lack of time/best I can do), putting him up by two votes.
How did I miss this post?
362 –
OK, Red, you can’t deflect your own behavior by saying someone else (who happens to be dead and a townie) was even worse. That’s beside the point of the accusation and looks like you’re just hiding behind townie cover. Second, the same issue here as with Inner as regards Mahaloth and Jimmy – your last suspicion seemed to be Astral, you reiterate that in this post, and yet you vote Giraffe never having so much as responded to a post of his previously. There’s lack of time, and then there’s just completely coming out of left field.
Well, he’s apparently a mason. But that aside, I don’t think Astral was a good target for a vote because of the Wolverine thing, and I’d expect Red to have acknowledged it.
vote: Tom Scud
Zeriel, I don’t know, but the Hirka incarnation is fine.
Huh?
unvote
vote: Red Skeezix
Yeah, I don’t even. Sorry about that.
I think I just made it a three way tie. That’s kinda really not good. I’m willing to go along with you and Mahaloth on Inner if you want it.
My personal order of preference is Hirka > Red > Inner.
Me Red > Inner > Hirka.
Current vote tallies (with voter(s), in chronological order):
Inner Stickler: 2 (Mahaloth, Tom Scud)
Red Skeezix: 2 (Hirka T’Bawa, Normal Phase)
special ed: 1 (Pleonast)

I like the Inner lynch. On my phone, so bigger post coming later.
Vote Inner Stickler.
Vote Inner Stickler.
Hey, sorry I haven’t been posting much, hard to get into the habit. I’ve always been more of a lurker then poster (one reason it took me 10 years to get 1,000 posts 
)
I’m really most suspicions of Red and Ed, I especially didn’t like how they both piled on Giraffe after there was a 3 way tie yesterday… Plus, they have both voted for the person getting lynched on days one and two.
I am a little less suspicious of Ed, just because he claimed and there was no counter claim, however, as was mentioned, it could have been a ruse, so that is why I didn’t change my vote yesterday after the claim… though, this is my first game, so I’m sure I’m easier to fool then some of y’all are.
So, right now, my suspicions are Red > Ed > and no idea after that…
People not on my radar: Astral: mainly due to his mind blank on day two. Mahaloth: Claimed, but even before that didn’t seem scummy to me. Tom: Nothing I can really articulate, but I just don’t get a “scum” vibe from him… But then, I’m probably easy to fool.
Besides that, I have no current opinion on the remaining people.
I’m keeping my vote on Red for now, but have no problems changing it to Ed.
