Okay, I'm sick of studying, so I'm taking a break to do a PBPA on Nightson. Posting thoughts as they come to me, then I'll reflect in a subsequent section/post.
Nightson evidently didn't have much grounding in his initial posts. His first post was part of the Page 1 MBL-wagon. His next several posts came a few days later, and none of them seemed very serious. He voted Phoebus, called Glork/Phoebus scum, switched to StD, then spammed "OMG SCUMZORZ" at me.
Post 120 is the first post of interest to me; he tells MBL that "jokes aren't scummy" after MBL had accused him of being scum for accusing me of being scum. I actually find MBL's stance more strange than Nightson's. I am a jokester, and I certainly do not find them to be scummy. Furthermore, I always thought of MBL as a mild prankster himself, so when he says "one joke is ignorable, two is significant," I don't put much weight into that.
Post 124 == red flag. Nightson seems to go beyond just "what, I was making harmless spam" to insinuating that he was trying to get discussion going. Nine out of ten times, I hate that kind of attitdue, and this is no exception. The "it's not my fault nobody commented on my StD vote" is also a bit odd.
After like 10 days of forum downtime, Nightson seems to shape up. I don't think this indicative of anything except possibly that he was just feeling spammy earlier
Post 176, he pressures Bird for not defending himself and instead choosing to defend me. States he doesn't think inHim is scum, and holds a mild suspicion of StD. Reasons would have been nice, but long-winded explanations have never been Nightson's MO.
Raises suspicion level of inHim, but maintains that he wants to keep pressure on Bird.
Post 244: Unexplained jump to MBL. Whatever happened to pressuring Bird until he moved his vote?
...and
Post 260 provides an answer. Can't really argue with Nightson's stance there... still doesn't explain why he's voting MBL, though
Post 291 seems quite "meh," as Nightson offers a very weak defense for himself.
Hammers Bird in 308 about 12 hours before deadline. I guess Lynch > No Lynch...
Post 367: Doesn't like wagons on PJ, inHim.
No other posts on D2. No posts on D3.
Pops in early in D4 to say he understands the revelation in
Post 529.
Post 603, votes for MC after MC claims to be a Space Monkey, saying he did something similar in Dr. Who Mafia.
Remind me to go check Dr. Who to see what exactly Nightson did.
...and once again, Nightson provides in his next post (
622. Okay, so what I'm getting from this is that Nightson did in fact do the *EXACT* same thing when confused about alignments. He claimed to be a "good guy" character, not realizing that everybody knew that "good guys" were scum. Oops.
Post 645, "I was gone and couldn't log on."
Cross-referencing Nightson's posting habits (
All on-site posts by Nightson) with the time period during which D3 lasted (Dec 28 to Jan 03), I see that Nightson didn't make a single post on MS during that time. So that seems to check out.
And then Nightson is sick, which I absolutely won't doubt.
One more relevant post,
Post 749. He basically says that he thinks Glork did one thing scummy by casting suspicion on PJ. He says he's bad at number-crunching, and he says he finds Fritzler to be most suspicious.
One more "I'll try to post" post, and then boom. He's gone.
