EPTHe is a very scummy person indeed, and him being lynched today would certainly assuage my appetite for destruction. Let us begin.

You think that if I was hiding something I would make it so blatantly obvious that I was nervous? This isn't a real time conversation where I have 10 seconds to come up with a response. Anyone can take time to craft a response that makes them seem like whatever they want to, so trying to read into someone's emotions based on their response (unless it's in the middle of some heated argument) isn't going to get you anywhere.
So to answer your questions, no I'm not, and at the time there was less than 1 page of discussion, of course there wasn't any idea as to what was going on yet. Won't be diving into reading people deeply until I get home tonight. If you think that's scummy you can look at my past games and look at every other game I've played in recent times and compare posting times.
(In any case I'm only on page 25 or so and I don't think I'll get much further while here)

This is Sylencia's first lengthy post. His first action of the game is to defend himself against some accusations of being nervous.
The post in question in which he"seemed nervous" is thus:

He completely chastises anyone who would analyze his first post. Is this not the intention of the game? Similar to myself (I suppose) In Noir mini, Sylencia wants to shut down discussion -- but this is discussion about him. DON'T TALK ABOUT ME, HOW DARE YOU COMMENT ON MY FIRST POST. He does seem nervous and guilty about something.
First "Analysis" post
How did nobody rip Syl apart for this earlier? Was it buried in the annals of discussion or something?

Ok, I'm back, and going back to the start to see what I can gather:
Notes:
- I don't care about meta reads very much. It's easy to manipulate, especially when people outright say 'based on X's meta, he is acting like his town self'. Unless it's obvious, I generally disregard meta arguments.
Comments / Observations:
- Oats v Palmar early on. The way I read it, Oats seemingly made a joke statement about Palmar, yet the response was ever so serious.
Palmar: Is your vote just parked on Oats while you look for actual suspicious people or do you seriously believe that Oats was calling you out there? Since it's instant majority lynch, a single vote doesn't really matter until we get to 10+ votes, but I'm just interested if your read on Oats has changed since the initial accusation.
- I was actually suspicious of gemoript due to the super weak town reads / don't kill these guys yet post until the hydra cut occurred, and valid points have been raised about that action, but I don't really want to talk about that any further.
Based on one statement I make which isn't indicative of anything whatsoever makes you think I'm scummy? It's fine if you're accusing me if you have a case but casual accusations with no followups don't sit well with me since it ends up being bait for people to jump on.
So other than the lack of activity which I have shown thus far, are there any other points you'd like to make?
Trying. Not easy though, 20 pages of catchup doesn't make it easy to digest the content.
From the pages regarding TRN and Rayn, both have been hard at work defending each other, though I don't really understand the point being raised about why Rayn isn't scum.
Was he scum when he tunneled or was he town? Rayn has shown tendencies in other games to shotgun vote and accuse others, and it's seen here and from your games he can tunnel too. His behaviour is erratic and so unless there's points regarding the content being townie, I don't think anything can be said about the way he plays.
You dislike Sharrant, so does that mean you suspect him or are you just putting it out there? Does Rayn's activity put him in the town books for you, because while it can be used as a basis for a case when none others appear, it's pretty alignment indicitive. If it's not part of your reasoning behind it, why is rayn already town in your eyes?
(Okay, seems like this is asked later on, but I'm leaving it here as per OO's request)
I'm somewhat doing the same, so I'm wondering how you can see someone as town without looking at the whole picture. I haven't really got any town reads due to this, but the fact you're able to either means you're doing something wrong, or you know something we don't.
- Following from this there's a clear TRN-Sharrant-Rayn argument breaking out, with Sharrant backtracking on past accusations and rayn aggressively defending while accusing Sharrant as well.
Rayn: Pushing for all millers to die (and voting on it) on day 1 honestly doesn't sound like a great plan. It wastes days where there's actually stuff to analyse, it creates a lazy town atmosphere which only helps scum, and with that comes a lot less conversation. You said you thought that BM was scum but what makes him so much more scummy at the time than someone else with low number of posts and providing just words and not content (eg. me)?
In any case:
This looks so dumb honestly.
Ok, I'm done for now, ##vote rayn at the moment because of the weirdest irregularities in posts.

Take a long hard look at this post. Does Sylencia try to figure things out? Where? It's a LOT of summary. Synopsis. Rehashing of past events. Call it how you will, but 'tis what it be.
Look at the number of questions directed at tons of people in this post. There are no intention with these questions -- you can just feel it. None of them get answered (or very few, at least). Syl doesn't care to follow up on anything, just gives a giant post to appear to be doing something. He proceeds to plop down a vote on Rayn, who we now know is town, for wanting to lynch BM for his miller claim (easy reasoning, nothing too intricate about it).

I'd like to preface this paragraph by saying that I love joking around and adore the trolling that goes on in TL mafia. Syl attempts to give a light-hearted joke, and succeeds. Cool. But then.. (relax, I'm joking) right at the end... Does this not come off extremely paranoid to you? Sylencia is already afraid that people will attack him for it. He feels the need to explicitly state that it is a joke, defending himself in the process. Town aren't this cautious with jokes, this feels fabricated and icky.
Oats Vote

Oats is the vote for me. Case from Vivax + aftermath between yamato vs Oats has convinced me more to taking down Oats. The thing that was holding me back most was that my primary scum suspect (rayn) was on Oats fairly early on. However:
Given that Oats never actually provided anything for us in terms of reads afterwards and posted crap about being green and telling people to push others. If he has nothing to say either:
a) He's playing as the bad townie
b) He's withholding that info from us to stop us from gaining more than we need from the lynch.
Either case is bad for town, so that's why I'm willing to go down on Oats.

##Vote Oats
Voted Oats, blatant sheep. Not entirely scum indicative, I will say that. But it goes along with Ace's theory. Some scum had to be on the Oats wagon, and Syl is one of them. He also promises to go down on Oats, but as far as I know the act of fellatio never occurred.

Switches to yamato a few hours later without ever mentioning BM again, despite already getting a response from him and being responded to with a request for an explanation.
Says he can get behind an Oats lynch.
Only now does he decide to actually read yamato's filter. (Vote was originally pure omgus)
switches to oats for original suspicion of oats (2 points above)
Note: Reading the filter and looking at some of the points in context such as the argument for BM has made me feel rather suspicious towards VE.
Now, I will continue going through everyone's filters for their suspicions and other points tomorrow if I am still alive (public holiday hooray), but from what I have seen as of so far, I would like opinions on VE and grush (am I missing something about grush gameplay here?)
Also, I fully know well that filter dive posts doesn't show anything about alignment, so no need to mention that too thx

Do I even need to say that this post is worthless to town? Summary summary summary, no conclusions. He even STATES that this doesn't show anything alignment indicative at the end. IF IT IS NOT USEFUL TO TOWN, WHY ARE YOU POSTING IT SYLENCIA? Scum.

##Vote ShiaoPi
Votes ShiaoPi. Same reasons as everyone else, not entirely alignment indicative. Fits with Ace's theory -- and scum were definitely trying to not lynch Clarity yesterday. He just sits with his vote on him. Barely even mentions Clarity in his posts.
SYNOPSIS
- Sylencia is overly defensive at every turn, comes off paranoid and nervous about the game.
- Produces summary, useless posts that are engineered to look useful, but in reality are not.
- Voted Oats / Shaio.
- Lurking.
- Keeps telling us that he is home now or cant post now or is busy or that he is doing something else. More Paranoia.
Let's all lynch us a Sylencia!
