Pretty sure I'm overvaluing LIX in being willing to lynch him, because there I didn't put enough stock in his activity. Here, he was momentarily Gonzaw after being called out, and then went back to being nothing. That's the same pattern that I didn't value enough in LIX, but the circumstances are also different in that he had a red check there and no red check here. What I would really like is for Sylencia or Cheesecake to show up and be able to chat with them for like 20 minutes. I could possibly get behind gonzaw. At first I was against it, but I went back and read Aperture 2 compared to WLIIA. In Aperture, he was thinking about everyone, giving thoughts about everyone, hopping around all over the place. In WLIIA, he focused in on one person (me), and spent the entirety of his time alive talking about me and why I was scum, with very few references towards questioning or commenting on other people. | ||

I'd like to discuss him, but I've been less active here so I'll give my thoughts first and see where you're at. I don't really know how to read him. But, his opening play this game has been fairly similar to his opening posting in Parallel. Some blendy policy talk, into an OMGUS vote on the first person the call him out. Not really much to go on, and I thought he was scum in Parallel for quite a while. | ||

When I read over people that are on the periphery of this game, he sticks out to me. I actually agreed with Gonzaw's statement that randombum's posts were "neutral." This bit of his post on Oats/BH - If you read Oats statement from the point of view where its already decided by town to pick instant majority, (which I think this town has.) then his reasoning makes sense is pretty much the most unique thing I've seen out of his posts. Granted, I liked the thought, but the rest is mush.He has scumreads on oats and gonzaw, his only real reads given, but this is at a time where oats has already been called out and gonzaw has as well. To some extent, he admits as much, noting that others have pointed out his Oats issues. At the end of his filter he's on stutters, who everyone has the same thoughts about because there aren't any other thoughts to be had. It just reads like empty space except for the one line about oats's thoughts and one response to some gonzaw pressure. But even the gonzaw defense is like..."i didn't call you scum, just said you weren't contributing" and things like that. It's his biggest post, but yet doesn't say anything, and reinforces the mush because in some cases he's actively defending himself against gonzaw by saying "No, I said something much more bland than the interpretation you're taking." I will go check parallel. | ||

Then once the early stuff was over he poofed away, and chimed in to talk about how/why he voted sylencia and about stutters lurking. I get a BIG disconnect between his entrance and the rest of his play this day, and it worries me. He's also in the "do not want to lynch right now" area for me, but I would really like it if the insightful and well-thought-out posts weren't all concerning early stuff and setup, and some of them applied to actual reads or pushed discussion forward during the times we've been stalled. We've all sucked at pushing thing forward during the stall  | ||

I will go check parallel. Right, I agree with your sentiments. But he also did the same things in Parallel. He was very much a non-factor for most of the game, but people just kept calling town because it was Palmar (and marv, too?) he was OMGUS'ing and sticking his neck out against. | ||

The toughest part for me is that I have no access to TL during the 9 hours of the day at work, so I'm limited to posting at certain times of the day and last night things were really slow. I have about 20 minutes left on my lunch break so hopefully I'll be able to decide by then. | ||

This defense post, against Foolishness's case on him, looks similar to his defense post against Gonzaw this game, but it feels different. The structure is similar - break the accusation up and respond to pieces. But the responses are different - little one-liner question responses to Gonzaw, more...quippy. Whereas his response to foolishness looks meaty and like he's refuting things a little deeper/more seriously. I would totes <3 marv, iamperfection, dandel ion looking at those posts and seeing if they find them similar, different. Bonus points if they use that to try and read randombum this game. | ||

There really isn't much to go by with him, but so far Sylencia has only responded to people who have placed a vote on him, indicating that his prime concern is survival. He hasn't made any posts that show he cares about town or hasn't come up with any sort of plan that could benefit us. Even his comment about the PYP is a one liner that doesn't show very strong resolve. On February 14 2013 09:48 Sylencia wrote: Mainly because I don't understand what is even happening in this game O_O He also shows a lack of confidence or aggressiveness, which is generally a mafia trait. Even if he is overwhelmed by the setup, there are still plenty of player interactions to comment on. When I asked him if he had any suspicions, he said no and promised to catch up, but never did so. If this was his first game, maybe I'd understand, but looking through his old games, he has like 4-5 under his belt. By now he should be able to know what kind of things to look for and comment without being prompted. For now, I'll keep my vote on Sylencia. Unfortunately, I have to head out yet. Hopefully by the time I get home I'll have time to look at the rest of the candidates. | ||

I'm not sure what merit there is in comparing only 2 posts, and nothing else about his play. Context is important too. From glancing over them, they look relatively similar, but different in parts. To say more on them, I do not really feel qualified. @Kita: If your read is "newbie lurker", but you want to lynch him for that,does that mean you have no scumreads at all? | ||

By induction (maybe) Town wants to find scum Town wants to look town Town needs to post in order to do those things You making yourself available for a window of time allows you to comment on things, be asked questions, post and contribute Therefore, IF you are town, you should be amenable to a window of posting/QnA. If nothing else, it can focus what you need to look over and at least give you some minor stuff in thread. IF you are scum, I would imagine that you'd prefer to prepare a post or two, drop them, and scuttle away (scum scuttle, it is how they move). + Show Spoiler + Not relevant to this post: QED PYTHAGORAS ARCHIMEDES SOME OTHER STUFF? e=mc squared? | ||
