Wow. Twice.
When you look Drifter game from the beginning to the end you can see clear pattern in one thing - he is a newbie in this game (at least online game). Asking about the game concept, making not so clever statements (whet
h
er he is a scum or not!), and not really contributing to the game that much.
Lot of talk have been going on about Drifter's townie/vanilla townie/I might be cop/doc -claim.
Why would scum claim vanilla townie in the early stage of the game?
No real reason, only if you aren't clear of the game concept you might do that.
Um, what if they aren't clear that this will do something for them and think it will?
Why would townie claim vanilla townie in the early stage of the game?
No real reason neither, only if you aren't clear of the game concept.
They could be over reactive.
You can make your own decision which one do you think the reason is, but making the lynching decision based on this is like flipping a coin - pure luck.
Yes, true, but we're on day one.
Again people bring up the case of Drifter bringing up this deadline thingy. For my eye that also strikes as newbieness. One question was okay, but asking it twice got other players on their toes. Again a stupid thing to do, but can you really say it was because Drifter is a newbie scum or newbie townie? For my eye Drifter actions strike as him not knowing what is proper to ask, just because he is new to this game.
Yeah, sure, I didn't really think much on that either
To answer Fenchurch's (only FC now on) question would I had voted for Drifter? I can say that I would have given him a vote to pressure him to explain his actions, just like some players have made also. But I wouldn't be into lynching him, because the accusations made against him aren't really waterproof and there are other more suspicious players that have had the opportunity to slip under the radar and people who's statements should be looked more closely.
I personally think he's a good candidate for d1 lynch.
The best example is Chapter 5 (only C5 now on). If you look as his contribution into the game you see what I mean. He accuses FC of making fluffy posts and the same time he makes posts (rare posts I would say) that make now sense or are there to just that he can say I have posted something. First he went after FC with accusations that had really no more or less than zero base. He saw bandwagon rising after Drifter and saw it best to put his vote somewhere before people would wonder why isn't he voting no-one. This was one of those fluffy votes that I consider even worse that fluffy posts.
I hear you, but problems have occured, as C5 (blatantly stolen) doesn't really respond too much to anything, not even questions directed at him.

I found interesting that C5 finds ShadowLurker the most scummy in the moment but don't have anything to back it up. I trust also my guts, but really C5 should have something to back his actions. I still think this is again this 'Whoo look I'm here, not voting the townie who's gonna get lynched' -kind of posts.
FOS Chapter 5
Yeh, I think he backed it up later with a small summary of SL's posts. I should prolly read up the page again (aaargh).
Then when I was going trough the game the second time some odd posts hit me from FC.
In below situation Drafter was L-1.

Artem: Hmm... could you answer the same two questions as above, please?
This sounds very badly of scum to fishing who to NOT nightkill. "Tell me who you find suspicious so I can leave him alive to be hanged next day."
Wow, I actually have to agree with this. I didn't see it at all. Do you think there's a specific reason she's only asking TGJ & Artem?
And other one after ShadowLurker (SL) unvoting:
That said, I still think Drifter is probably the best lynch we have at the moment, and I'm not sure why ShadowLurker is backing off now. I don't see the benefit in waiting for a replacement: either we think what Drifter has done already is scummy enough to lynch him, or we don't.
And still no vote from FC to Drifter! It really looks that FC waits people to do all work for her that she can say next day: "I didn't vote for the townie. Look no vote from me to him! Look I defended him!" Bullshit FC bullshit!
Such language. Okay, I can agree with this too. Except I don't wanna vote for FC! He's the most postyness person we have!
And again same situation in the following quote:
A Drifter lynch is still appealing because so many players have given their opinions about him. If he flipped scum, that would pretty much clear some of the players who were on his wagon. But if he flipped town, I don't think that would clear or condemn anybody, and I can see that happening too.
Again implying it would be good to lynch Drifter to get some knowledge and again she doesn’t herself give a vote. Strange, very strange.
FOS Fenchurhc
Okay, then we come to thegeckoj. He replaces into the game and what is the first thing he does? He puts Drifter in L-1 situation! Two posts from him and second he puts player hanging in the edge of lynching. Not really a great fan of this move. I hate it! If someone would have dropped the hammer thegeckkoj could have gone into the day 2 just posting two posts. Viuuuh, scummy move at is best.
FOS thegeckoj
Yes, but I think this could be used with both scum and town.
lifeofpie - Man with lazy attitude. Trying people to cast their votes which could be seen as trying to hurry the lynch without giving proper reason why they should do so. Not liking his playing style and he doesn't pop out very protown in my eye. Have to look more carefully his posts after this one. I have some hunch that there were something suspicious about his posts. Coming back to you later.
OMGUS!
Vote: Petunho
Wait...
Anyway, it's a contest between laziness and Real Life (TM) (I'm having difficulty beating the fourth boss), so... yeah.
Anyway, you should know that I can be tongue-in-cheek.
Petunho wrote:Yep, cannot argue with that. Behind my argunment there is a thought that if you give a vote for someone and he gets lynched you cannot back up by saying "It was only for pressure". Quite confusing theory all in all from me.
I got it, I think.
Thass all fo noww.
