Man, can you guys like post more on weekends and less on weekdays or something?
1.
gkrieg - Slow starter, but has really got going after that. His first bigger post,
236, is one I get good vibes from: very stream-of-consciousness.
2.
Roadrunner - His early posts in response to the two votes (
114, 115) read town - not seeing anything wrong with his post and responding in kind. He's been under-the-radar since then. His post
311 reads super-townie, actually. Super-dumb, but super-townie. Actually, that whole post is pretty interesting. It reads like suspicion of Joseph (otherwise why would he ask for scumreads here rather than in the qt), but he's maybe too unsure to make a direct accusation. This is really backed up by the "is it scummy to claim town X times", which is naive for sure, but the thought process leading him to the question is there (well I presume it's there in their qt I guess). The doc question is really the super-dumb part, but I think you have to be really gutsy to make that post as scum.
As an aside: I hear that RR gets mislynched a lot. What does he get mislynched for?
A further aside to RR: Did Joseph say he's town multiple times to you in your qt?

Joseph - People are casing him for empty, safe posting as far as I can tell. I've never really been of the opinion we should lynch people for that alone on day one (on later days with some wagon analysis perhaps). It's more interesting to see what they've chosen to post. In Joseph's case, I'd look at
222, where he suggests we shouldn't "leverage info" off the mods as it "feels kind of dirty". This bit is like he's trying to undermine faust's guess, and reads like he has an ulterior motive.
EWP: Following on from my analysis of RR's post 311, I noticed that Joseph responded to it in
315. I don't feel good about that response at all. His answer really misreps the question, which begs an explanation of why he tried to answer the question in the first place. Assuming that the question is relating to RR's/Joseph's chat, it's a very defensive answer, like he's self-conscious about it.

Jimmmmm - Interesting that Jimmmmm's vote on Roadrunner is for the "empty, safe" thing, since he's been even more lurky. Though this vote isn't necessarily non-sequitur, and Jimmmmm has a reputation as a lurker from what I've heard. Going "I need to interact with people to form reads" and then not really interacting with people though - what's up with that?
5.
ADK - I like his lead-in with the faust vote, looking back. Reminds me of me playing mafia 5-6 years ago. Into the game from the get-go, thinks he's found a scum, wants to keep the game moving.
275 reads like genuine frustration that he thinks he was wrong.
6.
Awaclus - Is beyond frustrating. Like, do you understand that nobody's going to listen to you ever if you never post anything for people to listen to? Meh. I can see someone settling into this playstyle as a townie (maybe until they get mislynched enough to snap them out of it), but at the same time it's pretty ezmode to post like this as scum. Well, for at least day one. I'll revisit Awaclus later, I expect.
7.
Haddock - His initial content post was phoneposting, so whatever. Man his iguana case is bad though. It's like he goes into it without an understanding of what a scumtell is. Though I don't think this is necessarily scummy either. Then his frustrations over getting wagoned could also go either way - but I did like his defense of himself from faust. His opinion on the Joseph wagon, though - there's two different comments in favour of it (
363,
414) but he's unwilling to vote. Like, either of those comments would make much more sense if they ended with a vote. It's not like Haddock really has a vote elsewhere (since he said he'd move his vote from iguana). So why does he say "I could get behind that" and not move his vote?
