Thank you for posting exactly what I expected out of you.
The issue of Tk Hawkins and janaan are linked, Tk has been tunnelling janaan for a while now and I think his case has some basis, but only if your scum. You accuse Tk of buddying despite the fact that you have had what I consider one of the most notable buddyings with Janaan, plus while Hawk has stuck by his opinions so far janaan began distancing himself from you( though without condemning you) a while back when you first became suspicious.
its really very simple, if you flip red we lynch Janaan, if you flip green we lynch Hawk, because the only thing hawk has done is really tunnel Janaan and I consider you and janaan linked so if you come up green then I support Janaan your opinion here on Janaan and I will suspect Hawk. i just wanted you to say Hawk was bad which would imply you think janaan is good. I appreciate you making things simpler for me.
After DYH has been lynched I will provide an in depth case on why I think we should lynch janaan if DYH was red or hawk if DYH was green.
One thing though, Hawk has had little to do with DYH just like Janaan, so this post by DYH may be an elaborate scheme to make us lynch janaan when DYH flips scum because he supported Janaan with this post and turned out to be scum, however I do not think there is even a remote chance that neither of these players are mafia.

But even beyond that, he provides some WIFOM reasoning as to why we should not go after lurkers which, as a number of you have pointed out, the scum could easily just read and act differently if we were to ever adopt this reasoning.
He lurks for about 26hrs, then provides this weak analysis of Janaan+ Show Spoiler +
1. That list accused exactly who it said it would be accusing, the people who only had a couple of posts in the game so far and had yet to really get past the fluffy policy talk at the start of the game. It doesn't make sense that gumshoe would be on that list, he had posted frequently, and even if those posts were lacking merit, he was a center of conflict in the thread.
2. He is trying to frame Janaan as someone who was letting Alderan doing his thinking for him. But that is clearly not the case if you read Janaan's posts relating to Dimmuklok.
3. I also think he is saying the right things, and I think it is because he is Town.
+ Show Spoiler +
Hawk presents a similar reasoning to Midnight's regarding gumshoe then comes that underlined section. That first sentence is valueless. Then we get to his summary of the reasons that gumshoe could be town. Did anyone expect Hawk to decide gum's innocence or guilt based just on that? I certainly didn't, that wasn't my case.
Now we get to his list of reads post, as I mentioned previously it is difficult to draw meaningful analysis out of a post like this, but I do have 2 thoughts. + Show Spoiler +
Every single one of us has earned a town/suspicious/null read from TKHawkins at this point, EXCEPT Midnight. He has since made the point that he is not the only person who had a hard time reading Midnight, which is true, I was one of them. However, I find it strange for 2 reasons. The first is that he managed to pull together a read on every other person, strange to me since I was having trouble with multiple persons. The second is that TKHawkins clearly had put a fair bit of thought into gumshoe, but didn't have an opinion on Midnight, who was highly involved with gum. Even I had at least looked at Midnight long enough to identify a few suspicious things in his play while I was preoccupied with slOosh.
This is supposition, but I think there is a chance that TKHawkins tried to buddy trackd00r early. + Show Spoiler +
Deferential tone.
Agreement.
Strong pro-town read.
Hawk's next 3 actions are to illicit blae's opinion on Midnight, defend Midnight by questioning jaj22's intentions, and vote ET, giving 1 weak reason of his own, and citing the reasoning that Midnight was using to put suspicion on ET.
For someone who has no opinion on Midnight, I think TKHawkins has spent far to much time defending him and working towards the same ends as him.
As for Janaan My opinion on him is pretty obvious if you read my points on TKHawkins. Janaan has been contributing, trying to pull information out of people, he pointed out that he made a mistake with his vote on ET instead of trying sweep it under the rug. And unlike a few of you, even though he is currently convinced enough to vote for me, he seems to be holding himself apart from the situation a bit to avoid tunneling, something that I appreciate.

Welcome.
First game on this forum. Anyway, I don't think Gumshoes poll is scummy. It's more likely he just thought "he I wonder if this idea would work." Clearly the answer is no and he didn't really think it through. Seems like more of newbie attempt at something more then anything else. I'm sure the obsever quick thread is already LOLing hard at us. I laughed too (and didn't vote since I hadn't known the game had started).
As for the policy on Lurker hunting, it's obviously a bit early to call people lurkers since many people might not even know the game has started yet (though definately not too early to discuss how to handle lurkers). It is best not to go after lurkers right away. The mafia generally aren't going to be completely inactive at the start. Rather, they are going to try to blend in. Scum post a reasonable amount, but don't contribute.
And finally, the Sl0osh vs Ech thing, I do think it's suspicious for Sl0osh to be acting defensive already.

@Trackdoor, just a question. I seem to recall you being one of the few who didn't want to lynch lurkers. But your analysis seems to be mostly, this guy is posting a lot so he's town. Have you changed your policy on lynching lurkers or is this just your way to make them post?

I understand if they didn't have the time to do more than just check in at the start of the game, but still, for so many people to just put out one or two fairly useless posts is overall not a good pro-town atmosphere. We HAVE to find some way to get people involved and posting.
One player that concerns me right now is MannerKiss. First he gets called out to provide some decent content by DoYouHas, then he posts a single sentence acknowledging DoYouHas's post, but doesn't post any content. I'm getting slightly scummy vibes from his play right now. It's worth looking into as we go forward.

He's definitely giving noob vibes. But a noob could be town or a noob could be mafia. The moderators assigning roles randomly don't care who gets what role. The idea of "he's acting too noob so he must be town because mafia would stop him" is a flimsy argument because he could just be a noob. I don't see how we are supposed to decide his innocence or guilty solely based on that.

Well, you have posted much more content than you did it on your previous post, but I insist, I disagree with a no-lynch.
Gumshoe, sometimes I think that you are going more pro-town, but in some other instances I just don't understand your intentions. Even you manage to contradict your self:
With this, I really want to make you think more carefully about you post. You say that Steveling has contributed to the discussion, when he actually didn't really at that point (he even loled at your poll) and then you suddenly realize deeper into the game that he hasn't commented much?
I'm letting of the suspicion of you but please, please, think carefully every post you make. Instead of replaying to every post, try to start a case or at least draw your lynch candidates in a clear way. I swear that I can't even understand some of your posts, and not only to me, but all the town right here.

So, my view on the whole thing is that we should push for a no lynch day 1.
The reasoning: We are close to the night, very close actually and we have zero solid cases on anyone.
Yes mannerkiss's weird 1 liner is scummy, also both eche and sloosh became defensive too fast and yes there are some lurkers as well. Nothing we can make a strong case on.
But chanses are that we are probably gonna misslynch day1 with the current situation.
So the way I see it, we either push for a lurker lynch or a no lynch. And with a no lynch we promote more discussion without losing an unlucky towny, more discussion always benefits the town.
What do you guys think?

Hawk's next 3 actions are to illicit blae's opinion on Midnight, defend Midnight by questioning jaj22's intentions, and vote ET, giving 1 weak reason of his own, and citing the reasoning that Midnight was using to put suspicion on ET.

Janaan has been contributing, trying to pull information out of people, he pointed out that he made a mistake with his vote on ET instead of trying sweep it under the rug. And unlike a few of you, even though he is currently convinced enough to vote for me, he seems to be holding himself apart from the situation a bit to avoid tunneling, something that I appreciate.
Thank you for posting exactly what I expected out of you.
The issue of Tk Hawkins and janaan are linked, Tk has been tunnelling janaan for a while now and I think his case has some basis, but only if your scum. You accuse Tk of buddying despite the fact that you have had what I consider one of the most notable buddyings with Janaan, plus while Hawk has stuck by his opinions so far janaan began distancing himself from you( though without condemning you) a while back when you first became suspicious.
its really very simple, if you flip red we lynch Janaan, if you flip green we lynch Hawk, because the only thing hawk has done is really tunnel Janaan and I consider you and janaan linked so if you come up green then I support Janaan your opinion here on Janaan and I will suspect Hawk. i just wanted you to say Hawk was bad which would imply you think janaan is good. I appreciate you making things simpler for me.
After DYH has been lynched I will provide an in depth case on why I think we should lynch janaan if DYH was red or hawk if DYH was green.
One thing though, Hawk has had little to do with DYH just like Janaan, so this post by DYH may be an elaborate scheme to make us lynch janaan when DYH flips scum because he supported Janaan with this post and turned out to be scum, however I do not think there is even a remote chance that neither of these players are mafia.
Just got back from class and read through everything. Gumshoe, just as a reminder, you can't lynch someone just because you think that they can be connected to an already-flipped mafia. If you have an actual case on either me or Hawkins, fine! Present the case, just make sure it's not based in assuming that one of us is scum because of DYH's reads.
