...reading from the beginning, Part I...
Well, I didn't have time to read everyone's Day 1 posts yet, but here's the first two people I looked at: CF and Robz. (I'm going down the list of players in the intro post in order, skipping myself, conf-towns, and the deceased.)
Captain_Frisk - posts that jumped out at me:
- opens the game by voting Morgrim (#22)
- #131, about shark_bait/Grujah: "So you are admitting that you're going to play scum differently here. Got it."
- #308, votes Robz for backing off of Abirds too quickly
- #339, notes that Insom claiming day 1 bad play is a "cop out"
- #426, defends Morgrim-hunting, defends Robz vote, gives post count
- #531, challenges Grujah's theory that Morgrim should be vigged, not lynched
- #536, suggests forcing Axxle to claim and monitoring him; comments that "f we don't lynch power roles - then it is likely that we won't lynch today"
- #601, bemoans not having a candidate at 50% votes (though ehunt was already there), says he won't vote ehunt, asks for prod on Grujah, asks for input from Galz
...and that's pretty much it. CF does not post at all for the rest of Day 1. So we have absolutely nothing from him dealing with the double-doctor-debate. His vote was left parked on Robz even well after the Robz-Abirds issue had died down.
Interesting factoid: after the mod's revealing at least one serial killer exists (#62), O's next post is to cite CF as obv-SK (#66). CF never responds to that or even acknowledges it.
In fact, CF never mentions, addresses, or even acknowledges O once in any of his posts. Despite O's throwing suspicion at him - not just #62, but also #848 (for ignoring the double-doctor-debate). And CF only mentions Insom the one time, at #339.
CF's general lurking, plus studious avoidance of anything O-related and pretty much anything Insom-related, plus the complete disengagement from the double-doctor-debate, all add up to quite a bit of suspicion in my eyes. Which is why I listed CF as the person whose alignment I was most interested to know.
Turning to Robz888, key posts:
- #168, questions case against Insom
- #261, votes Abirds to get him to post
- #291, unvotes Abirds, defends "a little jumpy" comment
- #295, comments Axxle isn't paying very good attention to the Robz-Abirds events
- #300, continued Abirds discussion - questions Axxle's and ftl's voting for him as a result
- #329, defends self further in response to growing wagon
- #364, votes Axxle (to L-2) while his own wagon is at L-4
- #372, defends vote on Axxle, contrasting Axxle's behavior to that of others on the Robzwagon; also comments about how "no Day 1 lynch is ever correct" and "Day 1 with so many people is tough stuff"
- #463, notes Axxle hasn't been lurky, but doesn't want to unvote because he doesn't want No Lynch and "I don't know what other direction we could go (other than me)"; suggests pressuring a lurker
- #470, unvotes Axxle in response to softclaim
- #483, comments scum are probably lurkers - notes Morgrim, Eevee, ehunt, Insom, Abirds
- #488, removes Insom from lurker list
- #578, votes ehunt for going after Frisk for going after Morgrim
- #662, unvotes ehunt after doctor claim, votes Axxle
- #707, revotes ehunt after Insom's doctor claim
- #719, comments Insom's claim seemed more genuine, and that one would probably be lynched and the other nightkilled
...hmm. I'm not seeing a tremendous amount here to raise my suspicions. Robz's actions read to me more like a town player trying to come out of lurk mode (and I recall he had V/LA and/or illness issues over the course of Day 1) and then having to unexpectedly defend himself from a lot of suspicion over something that STILL seems to me to be rather innocent exchange (Robz/Abirds). I can't fault his thinking re: ehunt/Insom as it was generally in line with my own. Given the presence of other more likely scum options around, I'm not seeing myself voting for Robz today.
Will move on to yuma and ftl in my next post. May not complete it tonight; if not, will likely post in the morning.
