Goddamit, I'll just finish reading and make sense of it later.
Regarding stuff that makes Zepphirds post scummy:(reference:
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=415738¤tpage=25#487 )
It's entirely possible (maybe likely) that BC is town.
I get the feeling that if that's so, then some if not most of scum will just come out and flat out say "BC is town" in their posts.
Why? Goes with the flow (general consensus is both confusion about BC's alignment/actions but thinking he's stupid town as well), fake contributions, etc.
Zepphird made that kind of post, and I think kita and others made that kind of post as well
That kind of post bothers me.
I'm not too interested in lynching geript based on that. It'd be way easier for scum geript to do the same thing and sweep any pressure off him (as he's having now)

gonzaw,
my Xata and SnB reads have your panties in a bunch? nothing has changed, suspicions are definitely still there. The only thing of note with my scumreads that has happened between then and now is Xata's response, and I'm still considering it. I said I will update, and I will, but not before I'm ready.
You just made a "case" against 2 dudes and then conveniently ignored it until I asked you about them (you were supposed to...you know...either vote them, ask people for opinions, etc)
Anyways, I finished reading so I'll just post my thoughts about you now, and reread and shit later:
Here's the thing solstice.
You started "fine" I'd say. You started joking, jumped to the lovetap thing. Normal early-game-derp. Not super townie, but well you weren't scummy or anything.
You made sense with some comments you made, and I had similar thoughts about you Acro had (that you were making comments that seemingly reflected that of his own, etc)
But then came this post:

No trolling for me I guess.
We're running the classic lynch, so the most votes person dies?
LOL. This post *would* be scummy if it showed any actual effort to be safe from lynching. Now, it seems more like a clueless town post. On the other hand, might be 100% clueless Mafia...
Take your stance, boy. I've been around here for quite some time.
Also, putting my vote on Dandel for creating a terrible, spammy atmosphere and not trying to change that.
Hm yeah, looking at your history, I doubt that you would start like that as Mafia. Too effortless and careless IMO. But really, voting for Dandel Ion because of spam? Granted it's not impossible that he's Mafia and spamming to "ruin the atmosphere".. I think it's safe to say that's not a typical way to play scum, especially this actively. And do you even think he's Mafia or just voting because he annoys you?
To what history are you referring? Kurumi has never started out as 'effortless and careless' as mafia?
I'm actually fairly suspicious of you. Since your entrance into the thread, you've posted some very wordy entries that don't really say much of anything, and contain a few 'wtf' moments, like:

I'm home! Haven't read anything yet, but after umpteen scumgames and a fairly longish break, I finally rolled town!
Also, in case this plan hasn't been proposed yet, I think everybody should say what character they made the role for. That way, if someone claims, someone else can back that shit up, or act as a lie detector.
Or the scum can pick off the players that created their roles and they are free to use it as they wish or modify it with a fake claim. That's silly.
So what? That limits them in who they can kill. Restricting scum is a good thing. You scum yourself?
lol it doesn't limit who the scum can kill. Scum can kill whoever they want, but with your plan, they're not shooting blind. I don't even understand how your plan makes sense. Why can't we server as lie detectors after the claim, without all sharing who we made the role for?
They're still shooting blind. They don't know what role they're shooting nor what the role actually is other than the name (and they still don't know who that is).
But I do get your point that if claims happen we can verify. Just run the risk of this only happening after people are dead and the mafia covering for each other (if someone claims and nobody pipes up that they made the role, a mafia member can "come into the thread late" and claim making the role)
Hmm. This plan has far more negatives than positives IMO. Mafia are basically in the dark only about one thing: blue powers. If they know who created which role, it becomes easier to snipe players if the need appears to fakeclaim (just snipe the player who created a specific role). On the other hand, it becomes impossible for them to act until a certain player has been eliminated. This might be useful in the early game, but come late game, every has-to-be-eliminated player should already be eliminated. This just makes it easier for them to plan their shots. In addition, isn't it more advantegeous to keep Mafia completely in the dark? "Fear of the unknown is the greatest fear." That should apply to Mafia as well.
Btw, is that Lovetap thing just a joke or an actual power?
Who could possibly know the answer to the bolded other than skater guy? Why are you even asking this? Also your input on the claim discussion was wholly unnecessary, as the side you were arguing for was already well represented.
S&B-
This is ridiculous

Cool story, but the town side of that story seems just as likely. I agree with Acro that this is a weak FoS.
Man, so many lurky folks. Kurumi is not reading the thread:

Yadda yadda
What could I do couple of hours into the game? Voted the most malicious player, remarked on bad atmosphere and moved on.
I am not going to post stuff that makes no sense just to look like I do stuff, I do stuff because I do stuff, not because I want to look like I do stuff.
Why did you claim who you made role for? You know that we are likely to have Assassin-type role, right?

Easiest explanation is: he is playing around or has a role revolving around voting people. Keep that somewhere when we have more evidence pointing at sk8r (if any).
For some reason geript taunts me with his posts so I am not going to quote him ever, sorry guys.
This after Acro explained tirelessly why he likes the claim idea. I could kill Kurumi and feel ok about it.
Skater guy-
You really need to clear up your thoughts on BC more. Why is BC scum? Like, I think I know what you are thinking...but these whole 'I voted to gauge reactions' and 'normal people would see my vote as just trolling' things muddy the waters a lot.
BC-
Looking better with his recent posts. Back to null for me.
That's me being caught up. Gonna go back and dig more to refresh my scum reads.
This striked me as a "antagonist scum" kind of post.
It's not the aggressiveness itself, but also the contrast.
Like, it's odd to me you'd go from this:

There's also the fact that your sk8/BC comments seem like filler
Also your Xatalos thing makes very very little sense:

I can't understand how Xata's question can make you suspicious of him like you make it out to be.
How about this for a response:
1)Xata was DIRECTLY asking sk8 if his lovetap is a joke or serious
2)Xata wanted other people to chime in on that thing to make more sense of it
Your "case" doesn't convince me at all, and it doesn't convince me YOU are convinced he's scum (or you are suspicious of him) either.
After that you make "usual" posts, but sparse in between.
Different than WOS's interaction with people and activity in discussions, I just see you make ocassional posts arguing with WOS, or making some comments about some stuff other people said, etc.
And you ignore your own FoS on Xata and S&B, in the sense that it seems you don't care about it.
You ask nobody what they think of Xata/S&B. You make no effort whatsoever to either:
-Get them lynched
-Convince people they are scum/suspicious
-Get more thoughts about them to get better reads on people or drive discussion forward
-Get thoughts about them to convince yourself if they are scum or you are looking at the wrong direction
Instead of doing stuff like that, I see you have a pointless discussion about BC's meta, and you just appear to be in the "sidelines" of the BC discussion, appearing that you are contributing about it, but I just don't get the feeling you actually are.
That's what makes me suspicious of you.
....meh, I'll let you guys post your thoughts and shit, I'll take a closer look at Zepphird, and maybe reread Xata (I thought he was fairly town before he arrived here, another reason I didn't really understand solstice's FoS on him....nor WOS's either to be honest).
Again, tell me if I'm wrong with my approach to the Xata stuff. I thought he seemed fairly townie, for his initial "get ball rolling" case on WOS (I certainly got that feeling from it at least), his continued activity, his behaviour, etc.
