I think I'm fairly caught up. The votes on mantis are strange to me. Mantis is a very careful scum player, and her vote is sloppy and not like her at all. I do agree it looks bad but oblivion and irre jumping her for it when they know her scum game is making me more suspicious. Denny doing an incomplete analysis also looks fairly odd, and i've noticed that scum have been going out of their way to look helpful lately.

Also callans, gib and MZ's little spat really doesn't help anything.
Votes on mantis (plural) ? IIRC only oblivion put a vote down. You're not whiteknighting, are you?

what is up with callan? normally I'd think scummates would reign this kind of thing in or try but I think I shouldn't let the odd posting go by
vote callan

love ob's comment about my absence when she is in and out and then just drops the odd wot in the thread.

Nope, for some reason i thought you had voted for her. Which kind of begs the question, why haven't you? Do you believe what you posted or don't you?

It was irre that I called out for a cheap vote on Mono in the McDonalds game, not Mantis. And Irre was scum, damn it.

I can't see a good townish rationale or the vote that Mantis has on Nelli, so I'm leaving my vote on her.

Gib was pinging early on, but he started scumhunting the last few hours. I'd still keep a close eye on him. The Gib/Callan kerfuffle seems like town-Gib.

Callan seems a little less high strung about it all than in the last game. Her digs seem calculated, not spontaneous.

Denny and Higgs both look iffy so far.

Irre's being agreeable. that worries me.

whiteknighting irre? that's a bit of a stretch is it not? Although I always think mantis is scum the first days of the game so I'm not a great observer I guess.

Er, I have voted for callan. I can only vote for one person at a time, sadly. I am free to comment on other posts that ping, though.

Have you put a vote down yet? Why haven't you (see where I'm going with this) ?

Maybe it was a sloppy, not thought out too much vote. But, if she is scum - then it's not.

I'm going to look at her posts again.

I don't think Adem looks scummy either - even though he voted Irre because she was the current bw.

MZ not posting as much -- well, I can understand that. He might just be trying out a new style. I know he's mentioned that in the past.


gib - not too sure what to make of him. There seems to be a healthy dose of paranoia there, so that could be town paranoia.


Feck, I am curious about.

I don't think it's a stretch. If UT was scum, it'd give him nice townie points to defend mantis' lynch vote.

Can't help you with that. It takes a lot of energy to be a bitch, so I need down-time occasionally.

I would like mantis to explain her vote because it doesn't seem to make much sense from my point of view.

Oblivion, that last post I totally agree with. Especially about callan, something seems staged in those outbursts, especially the ones with gib, it was like she was aiming for a fight.

Irre. you're acting very different from past games, so of course people are going to be looking at you. If you want a vote right now, it would probably be on callan, but i just got here and want to reread and think a bit first.

That's a stretch irre, i'd only get those town points if she were in fact lynched and even then day one votes are so scattered no one would care.

hm ok, nelli was probably a poor choice.

She mayor voted Charlou, and then defended herself in later posts as to why she voted her.


I'm thinking DennyB as well. The typical - hi, I'm at work post. And then one asking about timezones, and another post agrees that he'd also like to know if Adem is new to mafia.

unvote
vote DennyB

So far there hasn't been anything overly alarming to me, but some of Callan's posts directed at Gib pinged, but mostly because of the game theme and this bit of flavor in the OP:
Ratz has been invaded by evil ratskeppers looking for a flame war.
I'm comfortable with my vote on nelli until I hear more from her. No major suspicions against anyone else yet.

Wow - this is a big game. Hard to keep track of everything, and I'm finding it all confusing with the new members (what's up with Gonzo who still has a vote on me?). Anyway - people have different styles hohum. I don't know what to make of any of it. Anyway, since Charlou isn't around

unvote Charlou

vote Gonzo

who I don't know a thing about but seems suss (gut feeling, probably only 'cause of his vote on me) and could be checked. Mind you, last game I played the mayor didn't even get checked on night one and was don :o !

Player|~Post Count
Oblivion| 24
Gib| 23
Irre| 19
Callan| 14
Gonzo| 12
M| 11
Mantis| 11
Higgs| 8
DennyB| 8
Don't Panic| 7
Zigmen| 7
Feck| 5
Azathoth| 5
Magicziggy| 4
Nellikin| 5
Adem| 4
Uselesstwit| 3
Ani| 2
Gallstones| 2
Contra| 2
Jerome| 0
OVERALL| 195

I should voice further suspicion of people not posting much or any at all. As has been said already, it's too easy for scum to lay low and not post early on. Besides that, we have 19 players at the moment.

Quick meta:
In Adem's defense I've seen him play this way on Day One before, both as scum and town, so it doesn't say much about him to me. He isn't lying about his style, at least.
Jerome should show up soon, he's poking around FF right now.
Contra is on his usual speculation about game set-up. This could be both good and bad.
