EPTSo,
enter Therapist
Therapist, in this game, is the ultimate slip-byer.
So, in total, Therapist has 18 ingame posts. compare this to Lazins approximate 51, my approximate 99. Therapist has the smallest filter out of anyone. i checked all of ours just to make sure. he hasnt even broken the 1 page mark yet.
however, this wouldnt be a problem if there was original content and analysis. lets take a look into his filter.
Therapist starts with 2 nonposts, so 1/9 of his posts are already wasted for nothing.
then he says that he has no suspicions so far. helpful. Maybe had he tried to post something original for discussion he could have had suspicions.
Then he decides to make a post where he says that we dont all need to bandwagon lyter, so he wont.
Then he does. cool, wasting space and contradicting.
He informs us he will be there for deadline. this is 1/3 of his posts. in over 1 and a half days, Therapist has 1. Posted no content, 2. bandwagoned after saying he didnt!
oh, now, gossemerr contradicted himself, so vote goes to him. but you also contradicted yourself. meh.
Then he says that i'm probably right, and proceeds to let a probably right lynch go ahead without removing a vote.
Lyter dies, and theres a bit of WIFOM about gossemerr being more suspicious because of it. Also, he does this OH MAYBE we can get information from somebody but never does anything. at all.
Now, all of his posts are either from necessity or from direct pressure. so never contributing willfully. he contradicts himself by saying that there was a reason at that point to go Gossemerr instead of Lyter, whereas earlier he had said there was no reason to do one over the other.
one thing that bugs me is
DId you guys really jump on the Lyter bandwagon intending to go all the way and lynch him no matter what? I don't see what the advantage of doing that could possibly be. There's a difference between pressure moves and kill moves.
Okay, so apparently we were the ones who jumped on the bandwagon intending to kill somebody. whereas you jumped between two, contradict yourself while doing it, try to lynch someone who has posted much more content than the other. lol. Then what did you say? You dont see what the advantage could possibly be? well, its certainly no less advantageous than saying you have no reads, jumping on 2 different bandwagons and settling on someone that you dont really think is scum. now is he trying to set the blame on us?

Sorry about the delay on this post. My local Verizon decided to give out last night and put a damper on my plans for the evening. Anyway, my analysis thus far is as follows.
4. Gossemerr
Gossemerr started out not wanting to lynch a lurker. But as the inactivity of the day went on, he felt a need to get some activity going, so he voted for a lurker. I now see this not as a contradiction, but just as annoyance that no one was posting anything. This has been a rather lurky bunch, so I don't blame him. It is confusing however that he didn't change his vote once Lyter replied, but he claims being unavailable. I agree with his decision to apply some pressure... and it is even more understandable that he didn't change his vote since now that I remember it would have made him get voted off. I am leaning towards Townie for Gossemerr.

5. BlueyD
BlueyD is really going after Gossemerr for no particular reason. I personally voted Gossemerr day one because of the mild contradiction he made and Lyter's defense of himself. It was the only other place I could really go. But then after that and rethinking about it, Gossemerr made a lot more sense to me and there was no major contradiction in his decision making. BlueyD has no such opinion and immediately sets his sights on Gossemerr, writing out an attack against him. I'm not sure why this attack is necessary, because there was really no scum behavior from Gossemerr. You seem awfully focused on someone who took the lead in getting information for us. You poke in at me for changing my vote on day one. Doesn't really make sense for you to be suspicious of me for it, but I guess that's the nature of the game. I feel like your posts are over accusatory at this point with very little information to go by. This makes me suspicious of you.

6.LazinCajun
I can't get too much of a read on LazinCajun because he came late to the game and has a very short filter. At the same time, he's mostly staying out of things. He's making some posts here and there replying to things, but none of them have any real content. He's basically just saying over and over again that he has no opinion. I would really like to hear what he has to say based on looking through peoples' filters. As such, I can just say that I think he is suspiciously laying low.
------
7. Era
Era posts very little content for awhile, and then goes into what is in my opinion a shoddy argument against BlueyD. I think that you can make an argument against BlueyD, but I don't think his post really has anything meaningful to say. I agree that it's strange to be joking and such like he is, but I dont' see why he shouldn't. People can have whatever flavor they want really and we can't really get a read from the fact that he's having a little fun with his posts. Most of the argument has to do with his flavor, but he also claims a contradiction when BlueyD talks about threatening based on meta being difficult in a newbie game. It makes sense because there's either 1. No history to work with, or 2. Not enough experience to recognize behaviors as they apply to the game. I don't think era is necessarily scummy, but his posts really don't seem to have too much meaning outside of some little tidbits here and there.

8. Bocki
He was practically completely silent day one, letting people find their own way to a green and then jumping on the bandwagon as it came up. Everything is "okay, I agree" for whatever case people are making up until it's against him. If he continues to mostly just jump on bandwagons, I will get more suspicious. As of right now, I am in the middle on Bocky.

9. Nova_Terra
By far the most active poster who seems to spend a bit too much time critisizing the style of responses rather than providing meaningful analysis of the responses. At the same time, he does provide lots of analysis and keeps the conversation going quite effectively. I would be sad to see him lynched purely on the basis that he keeps things moving. Plus, I don't think his efforts to draw attention to himself and expose so many other people are very scummy. I think Nova is pretty town at this point.

So, this type of post is what i talked about earlier. This is Therapists only analysis in the game. And, its a scummy one at that. why? because it is not filter based, it goes shortly over multiple people and doesnt get a very good read, and allows the person if mafia to cleverly locate their mafia teammates suspicionwise, so if they die later they can say OH I SAID HE WAS SCUM EARLIER. Its the same as what i did last game as Scum. Here, he notes BlueyD as scummy.
Next post is a bit of WIFOM and a vote on BlueyD,because he is his strongest read. no problem right there.
2 posts on "well i hope this doesnt happen" and "this looks bad for town" mentality.
and suddenly...... with no other information.......

I don't believe BlueyD to be mafia. I strongly disagree with bandwagoning onto him immediately. Instead, I would question the motives behind Bocki and LazinCajun INSTANTLY throwing down votes on BlueyD. For the time being I am going to focus my analysis on the two of them and see what I can come up with. AT LEAST one of them is 100% mafia in my opinion. I'll post more details later, but I really wanted to get this out there that I think those two should be the focus of our investigation for day 3.

DONT BANDWAGON BLUEYD! Its scummy if anyone votes him now! why would you vote so early? A chainsaw defense of someone you literally just voted as scum, and said was your scummiest read, but suddenly without any analysis regarding him at all, everyone voting him is scummy. just, what?
So theres many contradictions, no content posted that isnt scummy, and strange changes. And my scummiest read.
##Vote: Therapist
), you, or therapist. If my decision is between you and therapist, then therapist is by far the better lynch. You could be playing a mafia role very well, but as you correctly noted Therapist has contributed basically nothing to gain the town any information.
