I went back and read Squibb's posts and one line stuck out to me. This seems overly defensive. Slam passively called him a lurker but did not pursue it. There was not any real suspicion on Squibbs, yet he felt it necessary to defend himself. Squibb's could you elaborate on why you felt it was necessary to preemptively defend yourself, please.

Last thing before I go to bed.
I thought I would post my thoughts on day 1 so far.
I peg iV for town because he seems aggressive, and antagonistic at times, and to me these are definitely town traits. In addition, I believe Slam is town because he is trying to promote dialog and cut down on spam.
For example,

Ivlosk: I said earlier I liked his first posts. There isn't anything else to say for me right now. No idea about his alignment.
LoneMeow: Sounds reasonable to me. He brought up the policy thing but someone has to start discussion somehow. K look at this- What are your reads JAT?!? Holyflare has asked you for your reads, this isn't the clearest thing in the world and seems pretty reserved. I mean, I understand, I can be reserved, but make a stand- if you are wrong, or someone points out it doesn't make sense, admit it and move on- But don't sheep! Make a position and defense it.

That is the easies thing for scum to do to try and look town, 1, and 2, if we have vigs, they can shoot into lurkers and we lynch other lurkers till there are none. So it is established that you can't lurk and get by this game. Stating their scumminess other than to explain a vote on them is now irrelevant, lets stick to discussion about actives.

And finally, I like Holy for town, only slightly, because he was the first one to get some solid discussion going, other than the policy chat.
That leaves 5 other people. Of which my favorite targets for scum and lynching day 1 are xzavier, reps, and squibbs. These lurkers on hindering discussion, they are not putting forth new ideas, and they are not scum hunting. I will continue my firm stance on this, lurking is scummy.
Reps why did you poke in today but not really contribute? Xzavier why are you not posting?

Interesting to note. I do want to see his reply, Squibbles also what are you doing of late, are you afk, reading the thread, filter diving? This game is a lot of time investment be aware.

That being said yes he could go about it differently. But iVLosk is not aLaKaSLaM or Umasi or Hurricane sponge or Hzflank, he is iVLosk!
The butt doctor
And discrediting a player's statements can be a good thing to do. (Eg HolyFlare being scum- haven't ruled that out). If the statement hasn't got merit it should be discredited, right?
Disclaimer: do I agree with iVLosk? Possibly. I need to weigh it all.
Why are you softly defending (and buddying up to) another player again? Didn't you learn from what happened in the last game with Umasi? Please keep an open mind, so far anyone in this game could be scum.
I still think you're town though. Who's your current best scum read?

I really need reps)squishy and Squibbles to start participating more and that has to happen right now, otherwise I might have to start driving for lynching one of you. Post your top 2 scum reads with some reasoning, thanks.

So do you think he's scum? Why so non-committal? Your filter is worrying, low activity and I get a feel that you're just trying to find a target to latch on rather than trying to find scum.

I am just pointing out things that other people may find important. I have not voted for anyone. Day 1 is really hard I die night 1 every time .

Partly because you like to point out things but not take harder stances, which looks scummy. So who's your best scum read right now?

My Suspicious list.
1. justanothertownie He seems to be posting enough to stay under the radar. Posts like this "I'm around." make the suspicion flair.
2.Squibbles Makes the IRL excuse. Then says he reads the messages all day long but does not post.
People I am not suspicious of.
DeusX super agressive as a townie last game XLV and is playing somewhat the same.

It is day 1 there is very little evidence currently I am comparing the differences between XLV players to now seeing how they are playing. Making a hard stance is digging a grave.

Ok, that's better. Careful with meta in newbie games though.
Now, Squibbles needs to start posting. Or I'll have him hung.

My burning question is, why aren't you playing like you did in XLII? I remember you being far more aggressive and attacking people, now you seem to be content to just drop remarks from the sidelines...

Maybe you should read the context of my post? Alakaslam asked who was around and I answered so he could ask me questions or whatever he had in mind.
Would you mind explaining why doing this instead of lurking is a scumtell to you?
I will be here most of the time until the deadline btw. so if anyone wants to discuss something with me go ahead. I will read some filters right now because I think I caught something on the last pages (have to make sure).
