Spoilered road to enlightenment.

I thought to myself "why are you wrong so many times on D1 Vivax?Why?".
The answer is that mafia is a hard game, best played after carefully finding out how mafia plays in finished games.
So I went ahead and read a bit of Who needs 72 hours anyway mafia with the Rels Grack and TUmble scum team.
Rels entered the thread with a qt joke and talking about mechanics.
Grack was the most interesting cause I found someone to compare him to in this game.
Tumble was mostly lazily throwing around reads.
So I'll go right ahead and tell you who our D1 lynch is. It's scott.
What I noticed in Grack in the other game was that he tended to attach to a lot of issues simultaneously by posting semi contributive posts that tended to end with questions , then he would jump to other issues the actual townies were talking about without pursuing the previously happened discussion. He would also occasionally post jokish stuff.
So if I had to make a summary of how mafia played:
- no own agenda, just reacting to townies and their topics.
- no committment to what he said.
- liked opportunities to start talking about hogwash.
- + one could go on about finding similarities.
Anyway, let me proceed with formulating how all of this actually makes scott mafia.
THE CASE ON SCOTT

Hmmmm- would Trfel be this bold? Or a big bag of WIFOM? Question that doesn't show any own opinion and is left unattended for the rest of his posts. It was just the hot topic at the time so he drops it to appear invested.
Random reactive question that seems irrelevant even to himself. Check.

doesn't make a whole lot of sense that trfel would jokingly claim scum and then shift right into serious mode. well, maybe a little. I still don't like it.
vivax is also probably town for getting pissed at that.
Or he is mafia with him!
2 found?
More of what I was thinking
Simply mirrors what Koshi said in his next post. Apparently thinks I'm mafia with Trfel but so far he didn't even spell it out once.
Low committment to his declared opinion. Check.

This is not a joke btw. Rels is probably mafia.
please enlighten me.
for instantly disappearing after posting a 2 character post? Is that a meta thing for him?
Ah fantastic.
No, it's absolutely not a meta thing.
You see, one of the most underrated difficult things to do in mafia is to "enter" the thread. Rels' entrance was, unlike just about everyone else on the frontpage, completely unattached to the game or to anything else going on in it. If he was in the thread at the time, he definitely had the time to read the like... 5? posts that had been posted, or at least stuck around to say one or two more things.
But no, he came into the thread, because there is an inherent pressure on people to actually participate in threads, especially mafia feel like "I must post". Yet he clearly had no real will or intention to stay in the thread, as his silence since that one greeting proves.
He is, of the people that posted early, by far the most likely to be mafia.
So just for fun, I checked Rel's two last games as Mafia that are in the database -http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=494436&user=Rels&view=all
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=494873&user=Rels&view=allSo one was Palmar's witch game where he comes in and starts talking about game setup crap for an entrance (well can't really do that here)
and the other he starts just talking shit
Rels doesn't enter games with any information, he usually just talks.
This could be a good idea. Just for fun he checks Rels last two games.
He comes to a completely different conclusion than Palmar. Bolded.
"Wait, Rels actually just talks about unimportant stuff as mafia early".BUT
"Palmar could have a good idea" even though what Palmar is saying is that Rels doesn't talk.
Appeasing and weak opinion that isn't in line with his findings. Check.

Eh, what do you think of Trfel?
Am I going full OMGUS on a town here, cause he is pushing me over nothing, or is he scum pushing me over nothing?
Would actually like some pressure on Rels, so he comes back and actually plays.
He saw how townie you played in the last game, did he build a lot of respect from you of it, because I would think he would find easier targets, you know what I mean?
I have trouble understanding this but I think what scott is saying here is that Trfel would find easier targets as mafia. Anyway this is his chance to get back to talk about Trfel's entrance but he doesn't take it even though he appeared to be interested into it earlier.
Another reactionary post to (what I think) a townie said. Check.

This post doesn't make any sense. It's in the OP.
Did you roll mafia again?
Not "This post doesn't make any sense, you are mafia!", but "are you mafia again?". Hiding behind questions to not have to do anything even with a good reason to. Check.

Umm, I think the game has been going decently well. Every body has posted at least once, and I started my spreadsheet and have notes for everybody.
Could you tell me more?

Back to the earlier posts, don't you think he should have me and Trfel as scummy? Do you see anything of the sort in his later posts? Nope .
Rest of his filter is short enough that you can go through it by yourself, but
scott is mafiAAAAAAAA and we have to lynch him. Pls help me lynch him town
