I need a little clarification on the bolded point Umasi. You are calling iV's play emotional, yet he seems to be keeping a pretty level head in this shit storm that's started up. The only emotional vibes I'm getting are from you. Are you meaning to be contradicting?

I dig this a lot. Way to man up. I respect that. I can understand why he was egging you on though. It did help to start some discussion. Sorry you had to be "that guy". lol. Are you at a null read on iV? I'm really feeling him as uber town, but its so early in the game and so many people haven't posted shit its hard to have a conclusive read on anyone. Or maybe that's just my inexperience talking.

Ok, well town's opinion aside, go with your gut here. Besides his overall abrasive attitude and the fact that he basically poked you with a stick, what is it that gives you a scum vibe from him? I feel like if he were scum he wouldn't be so in your face with it. I could be terribly wrong though.

I read what you wrote on Umasi. There’s a few things I’d add after taking a closer look at his filter


The early vote stuck in my mind too. It looked really self-conscious. If you are voting to raise discussion, why does it get removed as soon as someone mentions it? It looks like he had no goal at all with the early vote, as pretty much no positive discussion has been generated by it. The guides said look for both town and scum motivation behind postings, and I am having trouble seeing the town motivation behind a 5 second vote.

The rest of his votes too seem like he is playing to some agenda, not earnestly trying to lynch scummy people.

This quote too raised my eyebrows:

Pointing out the possibility of being blue doesn’t sit right with me. We are not blue-hunting. I’m worried that it’s on his mind and so easily popped out because he actually IS blue-hunting in the scum QT. What does everyone make of this?

There’s also a lot to be said for the benefit of the scum team in regards to getting into a shitfest. From the games I’ve read, it causes town to lose focus, and can be a tactic to misdirect town. It makes me nervous that he was so willing to dive in. He has since addressed it, but it doesn't take away from the fact that it cluttered the thread up at the time of the argument. Combined with the stuff you spoke about fferyl, and the stuff I pointed out, I’m very suspicious of Umasi.

If the day ended now, I’d be down with lynching him or Firere. I want to hear what both of them have to say to the accusations against them though, specifically the blue thing (Umasi)

Why does the OP say Yavanna was Vanilla Townie?

If we have investigative roles I think Umasi is the perfect target since he is now highest on people's list. If we can clear him/ condemn him at night, itll free up the day to look at another.

I would say forget Umasi, for investigation given Yavanna's interactions with/about him that I posted earlier.

What do you think, Spicydinosaur?

I tend to agree given the quote you brought up though I'm hesitant to completely give him a pass since Yavanna never did actually put a vote down. Who do you think invests should focus on them?

I think her posts, which all put him in a bad light even before that final post where she built on my comments, make him a lower priority than some others.

Do you think her posts sucking up to Xzav semi-clear him as well?

She made one comment to Onagu, and that's the level of interaction that I tend to find associative, but aside from that one hellaciously defensive post he made, he hasn't pinged much.

I should look over Onagu's day 2 posts again.

I don't think she would have interacted with me at all if I hadn't written a wall to/about her.

There was a comment she made about iV as well.

I like this a lot. Spicy, you said to pressure lurkers. This is where I’d want to put some pressure. Where you at Firere? There are a couple other lurky fuckers still, but this guy shows up, randomly agrees with Umasi’s post but he never follows up, in fact he doesn’t explain anything. At all. That bugs me.
