Which that much to analyze, it was fairly easy for the scum to just ride along for the win (and I don't say that to take away from mafia, that's a valid strategy).
I actually disagree - except for the last phase and some Day 1 lethargy I found the posting to be generally in line with scumhunting and game progression.
There is a difference between a thread bloated by info and one bloated by fluff.
If you get "lost" because of too much info, then you have deeper problems beyond people posting too much.
As an example, my reads in this game were pretty solid - I didn't even read most of Day 1.
That's because you don't need to read every post to scumhunt, you just need to read the posts that matter.

Remember Day 1 when I said that there wasn't a Thor case nor a Ploben case - and you disagreed?
That's what I would point to.
There never was a case on either of us - there just wasn't, yet people kept pretending there was.
You need to get better at honestly assessing cases. I think you get lost in the leaves and stop looking at the trees, if you get my meaning.
I'll happily expand on this more if you don't grok me.
