I concur, but if the discussion is just about you its harder for scum to screw up then if its about everyone.
this is not necessarily the case.

Also, that last post by whome is almost enough to make me want to shift my vote. Not quite enough, but almost. Enough to put whome second on my list.

Not saying them messing up is impossible, its just easier for them not to do one of many stupid things they could be doing otherwise.

Don't be pissy because I wish the discussion to end and to move on. Reminder 3 days and 99 pages. I would hate to have more replacements.
Thank you Thank you Thank you.

Lets complete the TS lynch, see who does and doesnb't die durign the night, and we have enough posts for 6 data minign companies come tomorrow.
this post actually STINKS of scum. Im starting to wonder about whether i was hasty to put off your lynch earlier today. I mean, you want a hasty lynch on someone you havent even given a detailed case on, and you want to base our play during the day, on who gets killed at night? 0.o
I think the fact you comment on the quantity of data we have is nice, but it doesnt take a genius to see that, regardless of affiliation, there is NO WAY you are actually going to use any of it. Reading the game isnt going to get any easier, and the amount of pages wont decrease.

Also, i'd like to declare myself
Officially AGAINST a TS lynch today
. No, thats not just that she isnt my first choice. Posts like Whome's, and the way in which most of the pressure on her seems to be ill-contrived, and simply an attempt to get an easy, but satisfying mislynch.

I cant really see the attacks on TS as protown (although a TS lynch is a great compromise when we have NO info), so for the moment, i reccommend those on her wagon either unvote, and hide in the corner, or prepare to face my wrath.

I saw TS as doing the same thing when she was attacking you, though. I'll keep my vote where it is for now, but I'd be willing to switch.

I think a lot of this game is just going towards mislynches. I think a lot of it has to do with complacency in following the major wagons (usually the ones you start) and the fact that pretty much the only opinion not made by you so far has been by those attacking you, and 1 person scum hunting usually has some issues.

I'm going to do a review of everyone right now and post what I find, most likely in segments.

OK, I'm half way through, here's how I'm seeing things

Scummy:
Imat (lots of FOSes w/ little vote movement, wagoned TLP, sounds very opportunistic)
WhoMe? (Voting nemesis early, Tlp wagon, pushing deadline, pushing TS wagon who I now think is obv town)
killa 7 (all the things i said about antithesis lurking in plain sight)
dahill (realized why I thought =! town dahill, posts are generally lacking, town dahill makes a fair amount of contributions)

???:
skitzer (more posting plz)
Tarhalidur (more posting plz)
Surye (waiting for him to say something)
xtoxm (I default to BM on this one, he prob has a better read on him)
Matt_s (I got nothing here, all his posts are pretty neutral tell-wise IMO)
Kscope (is Kscope, not getting much from GSgold either)
Peers (is being Peers I guess, slightly better default then Scope IMO)

Town:
Andycyca (seems conservative yet willing to do stuff, townish)
TS (actually trying to help, Incog is obv town on review for same reason)
BM (obv reasons for now)
Pie (not really seeing VD scum right now)
mnowax (a lot of QuickBen's posts seem pro-town to me, could be wrong here, mno seems on par)
farside (obv)
TSN (retract earlier statements, unsure, sounds like him + matt_s fighting for no reason, null argument on both, leaning town as his scum list over Rosso is looking a lot like mine AKA he was actually reading the game at that time)
andersonw (not a lot of posts, comes off as pro-town. Could be wrong again)

Will figure out later:

Anyway, dahill might be scum, but I think there's a much better case for Toaster Strudel. Its time to lynch.

Unvote, vote Toaster Strudel.
I think I've used the last lines of the above post before when I was scum. It feels like TSN is trying to say, "Yes, of course dahill is my scum buddy, but let's lead the town to a mislynch and vote Toaster Strudel! Of course, I could be very wrong.

Not really, you have attacked scummy players, my point is simply that very rarely does one person just Rambo through the game and lead town to every correct lynch because each individual person is usually wrong about at least 1 person.

Disagree with this...Found her scummy and would still be happy with her lynch...

Yay, 100 pages..Lol.

I'm not seeing Whome as scum. I've found myself quite likeing most of what he's been saying.
Smooth as silk when he's scum, and very much capable of running things from behind the scenes while appearing to be doing minimal effort. - Almost50
Xtoxm is consistently great - Shosin
you were the only wolf i townread at endgame - the worst

I'm still for a dahill lynch, but a TS lynch doesn't seem like a bad alternative.

Bolding and Underlining mine. I HATE it when people do that. You were making so much sense until you decided to undermine everything you had said with something so stupid as "I think this...but there again, maybe i dont". Have some fricking conviction. Otherwise you look like you are simply covering all your bases and half-heartedly scumhunting.

Just makes no sense.
I'll buy that.

Anyways, the whole farside-wasting-a-kill-would-be-scummy point is secondary to the whole it's-a-dumb-idea-to-waste-a-kill point.

I concur. Now that I actually have a good list of scummy people, I think our vig would be better off shooting some of them and if it comes up later on BM can be dealt with.

After review, CKD is in my ??? category. He's definitely been logical, but he's not done anything the says especially pro-town to me. Rather wait to see how other people turn up before deciding here.

Also, in case he missed it, I want BM's thoughts on xtoxm to finish my list, as I have no good read on him.

Your lazy has been especially concentrated into this game however. Any reason?
