I'm going to compile all of Insom's posts:
Normally you aren't allowed to do anything veritably random in these.
So anyways the one thing that is interesting about the setup is we could disclose how much we explored. At first I thought this favoured mafia as it would let them know who has the most money/power role. BUT the better power roles are found by exploring so it could save our weak PRs at the cost of ones that could be stronger later. I don't know, food for thought.
Vote: Ashersky
Making sure you say something is an X-Tell in every post is not the way I've ever seen you play town.
Then he starts arguing with xeiron about no lynch:
We are 16 player right now.
As far as I understand, a odd number of living players is better for town.
Furthermore, chances that a cop will pop up will increase every night, so it appears to me that we want this game to carry on as many days as possible.
So isn't it best to no Lynch the first day?
Its never better to no lynch. Ever.
Its never better to no lynch. Ever.
Yes it is.
As explained in these links there are scenarioes where no lynch is optimal for town.

I'm inclined to think this is such a situation, but I am not completly sure.
I disagree with the parity argument and Happily ever after is a scum win.
That's all the arguing.
Alright. Weekend over. I'm back and caught up. Am now firmly against claimin unless you have something worth claiming.
Re: Insom votes. I'm actually a bit torn on this one. I 100% like Ozle's vote. That one is legit. Ash and sudgy just posted a vote for me without backing it up because I was an easy vote at the time. Now here's my issue. I already found ash scummy. But sudgy? That guy decided to defend his vote on me after the fact which is way more scummy than I feel about ash right now so I will be putting my vote there for now. Vote: sudgy
I have no strong feelings on liopoli vs kooshie right now as I don't have a ton of back data on these players.
Eevee lurking is probably the most bothersome to me of their post CPU gets. Though I put far less into that stat since I have lurked as town and its just because I'm busy in RL (talking about masons vs monks right now)
It's funny how everyone's saying about yuma, "I don't have a Townread on you, therefore you must be Town."
Yuma is my strongest town read right now but I have a habit of reading him wrong lately. In games where he is scum though I tend to read his posts and think he has a strong point but expresses it in a way that is non confrontational and often forgettable. Here he has been much more confrontational and is one of the people I remember is playing this game the most
Then in #447 he says he had an auto correct mistake.
From Eevee: ins, do you then disagree with robz in that lurking is what I'd do as scum?
With Robz?
I think you'd lurk as scum or be active as scum, I don't think you have a set meta for how you play scum.
#567 complains about Xeiron's quickhammer
Defending his lurkiness:
Ok so yea I'm lurky but as I've said before this is my last mafia game for a long while, and I've been lurky in non mafia games too. Anyways meta aside, do any of you think I would let a team I'm scum with kill Xeiron, I mean really? No, no, no, Scum Insom would have let Xeiron lived and DEFENDED him the next day. Yes I play every game different and am not above lurking as scum (Ozle's game, when I failed to convince people to lynch scum!Eevee) or lurking as town (Masons and Monks). But I'm town here.
Ozle, I did not start in a hallway.
#637 compliments sudgy's vote on him...
#640-642 starts to get frustrated, says that people aren't reading his posts.
Asks me if he is being sincere angry, asks why anger is scummy:
From mail-mi: Whoa, Insomniac, getting a little angry? Lurk and then come back super mad is scummy to me. vote: insom
I get angry as town all the time, but yes I can also fake angry as scum, so am I being sincere this game or not. Also why is anger scummy?
#708 votes for Sudgy again, says he is being "just as active as everyone else."
#825 defends himself from mcmc's post about him being lurky
Again with the sudgy case:
Alright, so you won't be getting it today (it's my birthday just logged on quick to check on this game). But I still think Sudgy is very scummy and I will compile my case on the matter tomorrow. If Jimmmmm get's lynched today I'll have it prepared for Day 3. Please EVERYONE note the bold section, we can infer mafia will, so you may be able to derive information from that on Day 3 in the unlikely case I am the night kill.
Then in #1080 we finally have the case on sudgy. I hope you all remember that, cuz it would be confusing to copy and paste it.
Next post explains why the first quote is empty in post #1080.
Gives kooshie-sudgy interactions:
Kooshie Sudgy interactions.
From Sudgy there is two times that he mentions Kooshie after RVS, one actually neutral to me, the other looks scummy. (Neutral->Day 1, Scummy->Day 2)From sudgy: This is turning into MXXI... I'm starting to think either liopoil or kooshie is scum... Right after liopoil makes a big case on kooshie...
This is before there is TOO much heat on kooshie and initially seems townie, but he could just be placing himself on the psuedo wagon in case kooshie did get lynched, I probably lean a bit of a townie read from this post, although I'm still fairly confident that sudgy is scum. After this he becomes the 4th vote on the wagon however two of the votes for kooshie came AFTER he voiced his pseudo support (there was only one vote liopoli at the time of this post).
From Sudgy: Looking at you quote, I see Kooshie (a townie) gave Jimmmmm a townread. When I don't think many people could give him a townread. This is enough to push me over to Vote: Jimmmmm. This is L-1, nobody else vote until he's said some things.
This is the one on day 2 where he gives Kooshie town status.
I was surprised to notice that Kooshie DIDN'T MENTION SUDGY AT ALL. However she didn't mention most players, here is a list of players she does mention.
Liopoli
Ashersky
Patpatpat
Jimmmmm
Yuma
Raerae
Jorbles
Mail-mi
Lekkit
many of them just in passing.
I suspect there is at least 3 scum in a game this size so I suspect one of them would have been mentioned and the other not mentioned but this is more of a hunch then anything really concrete.
Gives reads:
I lean town on Jimmm. He doesn't have much content despite his larger post count than me but I lean town because he map claimed and stated he would self hammer (though he didn't)
Aside from Sudgy as scum and Yuma as town I don't have a strong read on many people right now and as such most of you are "slightly scummy"
Yuma is town because there is no way scum yuma would have on numerous occasions stood against my lynch when it would have been so easy to just let it happen.
And his last post is...
Ash Jimm already claimed pages back
Other than the sudgy case, there is not much content. Where are you man!
Vote: InsomniacI don't think that Ozle is scum, he's beenn very townie in his defense.
