There are way too many inactive players, who barely do anything but the bare minimum not to get mod killed. Given the size of this group, it makes perfect sense for the mafia to hide in that bunch, as Ser Aspi said already. I say in the future we pick some people in that inactive group, based on whatever clues we can gather.

I still like Hobbes and keit for example. They are the best fit for the night 1 killed 1, and they certainly don't seem interested in solving this thing or contributing. When accused, they quickly sprung to action, then faded back into the crowd.

Just my 2c.

I have a feeling we're going to lose a lot of townies to mod killing.

I have 20something posts on this thread, most of which are clue analysis

Im definitely not up there with DrH's 200, but to say I haven't been contributing or trying to solve this is blatantly incorrect

Lol irony.
I'm not saying you don't help - I'd have to review your posts first. But I find it funny 10 minutes after you were accused of popping out only when accused you popped out. The timing is hilarious.

The timing is funny... but you've been wayy more active than a bunch of members on here. Activity isn't the only thing once should consider though.

The 20 posts were primarily defensive, no? I did not see a concerted effort to "solve" the mysteries. As you mention, you are not alone, but that would be the whole idea...

My posts were entirely analytical until I became a large suspect, then some became defensive, and then the last two days there were less of them because I had to play a gig this weekend...

I mean, if you read the thread regularly and generally reply promptly, I would think there would be... more.

I don't mean to single you out, keit, hyperbola, free and a few others are in the same boat.

There are plenty of others who are less active than him... not everyone has this kind of free time

My only point is that I have been a lot more active than the other players you mention, and I feel like quite a few people on the thread would vouch for that

Of course it isn't. I just feel that at least 5/7 Mafia will hide with the inactives. So before we go on lynching active posters, who at least leave a paper trail, I would suggest focusing on these guys.

Ok, so what I just did was compare postcounts vs post on the site in the last week in general. The high post count on the site in general gets rid of the "don't have time" issue.

Mystlord
JohannesH
skronch

These are the three names that stood out on that cross check. Skronch especially ... with almost 100 posts in the last week and only 1 here.

citi.zen... once again, FLAME.
Man if I'm going to be singled out at least it should be done correctly

789's post is interesting though, the part about Skronch...

You weren't "singled out" - it was a bunch of names listed in no particular order. The strategy behind picking them was the more important idea, not the names.

789 - interesting find!

It is too far out to say, the deadline for the next lynch vote is a little over 2 days away still. A lot can still happen. I was just throwing the facts out for now.
