Unlike Lubabah, I found Chococid completely scummy in my readthrough, to the point, in fact, that I was thinking "Scummy, scummy scummy!" while reading through his numerous Day 1 posts. I cannot dismiss that while discussing strategies (which I'm admittedly not the best at) he attempted to turn away from any strategies that included vocalizing votes in order to work together. He explained this away with 'It's not in the spirit of the game.' If these type of strategies weren't in spirit of the game, I'm quite positive that the mod would've said it's not allowed, or put in ways to stop it from happening, but he didn't. I agreed as well with Astronaut's reaction to Choco's post containing the theories on mass claiming, no lynching, and whatnot. I had the same reaction. Yes, Choco might've just been discussing things, and not 'trying' to get any of these strategies adopted, but something about it really screamed scum to me. Also, I found his 'vote now' yesterday entirely premature and thought it came out of nowhere. Overeager? Maybe. Scummy? Definately, at least to me. Obviously raj's vote now was premature as well and he turned out to be innocent, but that really doesn't clear Chococid, does it?
KE seems weird, yes. Does he seem scummy to me? Not really. Perhaps this is because I think that his behavior is just his playstyle (this is kinda how he is in chat). The primary thing I found suspicious was when he admittedly refused to go with the vote of the town, which wasn't a very pro-town thing to do considering the nature of this particular game. As it turns out though, a townie was lynched, and my number one suspicion is the same as KE's. HMMMM!
My only other suspicion was minor, but it was with Pariah, who has been replaced. I found it a bit suspect that he brought up the SK thing with really no reasoning behind it. He's now been replaced by Speedy, who doesn't seem too suspicious to me at this point, although I disagree with his strategy of going to a vote now once choose counts have reached a majority. I'm not too good at math, but I think to ensure that it's truly the town voting for a lynch, yesterday's strategy was much better. A majority can contain however many scum and I just don't trust it.
On the subject of WIFOM. Blatant WIFOM such as "If I was scum why would I do (enter whatever here)." is obviously scummy, but asking questions and theorizing things that could contain a bit of WIFOM isn't. In my opinion, there's no way one can play mafia without running into some WIFOM here and there.
(Oh and KE, I'm a big fan of parenthesis too!)
And are you going to go around speaking my thoughts before I have a chance to say them in this game too? I need to do a reread of the game, but right now both mathcam and Speedy are sticking out to me. Speedy, based on Choco's 'investigation', KE's observation of that, and also the proposal he put forward at the beginning of yesterday, which I found somewhat suspect. mathcam ... primarily his defense of Choco day 1, and then whatever it is that's not sitting right with me, and no, it's not because he likes math. (Although that's nearly reason enough!)
