That's pretty rich coming from you, don't you think?Information Instead of Analysis. Instead of actually scumhunting, Fegelein instead chooses to talk theory instead. Therefore, he can say that he's actually done something while instead he's just blending in the background.

@Antagon:
Keep us updated when you're done and please don't focus exclusively on Fegelein. I'd appreciate a T/S list.
@Feel It:
I know what makes you uncomfortable about James May and I certainly don't trust him yet, but for now it looks like he's doing *something* productive, albeit very timid, which is more than what can be said about the gentlemen Fegelein, Antagon and Nachomamma8.
Thanks! I'm halfway through already! Fathers amongst you can probably imagine what I'm being through right nowIn post 148, Feel It wrote:I know what you mean, congratz on your pregnancy btw- Miss Stranger

I can't sleep... here's my brief T/S list for the moment.
- Antagon (SE):he's participating very little and his participation is involved with very odd, isolated posts with little actual content. Seems focused on Fegelein a lot. I definitely don't trust this person. Either apathetic town or very cautious scum, and both are bad.
- champinoman:extremely paranoid and aggressive, and somewhat OMGUS-y. Doesn't hesitate to point tiniest details and flail hands in suspicion. Very bombastic words and direct accusations ("are you covering up for your scum buddy", "are you trying to avoid an obvious lynch", "you clearly don't play this for the town"). I'm not sure if that is meant to intimidate or incriminate. I don't think he's "subtly buddying" with Gen_Wolf, but rather finds his attackers scummier. If I'm entirely correct about his paranoia, he shapes up as a "Mad-eye Moody" townie. He finds pretty much everyone scummy which is little better than blind shooting and relying on mathematical odds when it comes to a lynch. In that case I hope in time his paranoia will settle or at least become less diffused. On the other hand, his paranoia could be a scum paranoia of being uncovered, and he's aggressively pushing on people who attack him to bully them into defending themselves so he can step away from the spotlight. He earns town points for calling out on lurkers however and if I have to decide, I'd put him into my town zone.
- Feel It:I've been uncertain about him for a while. He earned scum credit for pulling up the "vote hopping" thing and for immediately polarly changing his attitude a few posts later, but has been lately accumulating town credit by trying to scumhunt outside of Gen_Wolf and broadening his view point. I'm stiiilll not entirely certain, so for now I'm putting him on hold.
- Fegelein (SE):earlier on I had a minor town read on him, but since he's diminished his activity, and his posts all look like haiku statements. He seems pretty certain that James May and Nachomamma are scum, but has offered little insight into why. He's insanely fast to get reads on people, but offers no argumentation on them. Either he already knows everything, or prefers not to say anything, or he's too busy. Upon inspection of his other ongoing games, I think I'm going with the latter, just to give him the benefit of doubt, but that's not to say I think he's town (scum can also be busy). Null.
- Gen_Wolf (SE):my "favourite player" to discuss - my thoughts on him are scattered all over the game, and I don't think I need repeat myself. He's very much stepping on the town/scum line, and I'm going to put him slightly into the town direction for now.
- Generic:almost certainly town. Consistent and insightful analysis and good reaction to pressure from Nacho. Doesn't seem to care about compressing his posts content or rewording them, which is good. Excellent response to paranoid attacks from Champ. I don't think I can find something suspicious.
- James May:he made an odd waltz-in in the middle of the game and got immediately picked on this line: "I'm trying to be a bit more cautious this time", pointed as a heavy scumtell by Fegelein and Champ and apparently Feel It. Afraid to jump to conclusions because last game he was wrong and lost (isn't that what happens everytime when town loses?). He currently has no scumreads on anyone and plans on relying on meta once he has more time. Why meta and not the current game? (I admit I use meta a little, but only to see if a certain Mr. Busy is really busy or just bluffing). I think his cautiousness is more about the (newbie / just-hammered-bad-and-still-sore?) fear of lynching the wrong person rather than fear of getting more involved, and I currently don't think he's as scummy as people make him seem to be. He admits to being busy, but did a little bit of reads, which IMO speaks more good than bad about him and I'm interested to see what more he has to say once he finishes his finals. What I personally don't like is the fact I notice a very subtle reliance on my trust in him and that in post#141he explained his reads on everybody except on me. It makes me uncomfortable and I feel at a future point he might try to talk me into/lean on me for defence should he become more heavily suspected. For now I'd say he's more likely town than scum, but can easily go the other way around.
- Nachomamma8 (IC):he arrived on stage with thunder and lightning and vanished just as quickly. He shares Antagon's selective reading, who just happens to be my current strongest suspect. Fegelein mentioned he's playing his scum meta, and from the newbie game he referenced I'd say he's right (although I'm still asking what is his town meta and how is it different). He questions a lot and demands excessive explanation, but he himself has provided little of it, best example being post#91. I'd really like a broader #91-style analysis from him, because I'm not particularly satisfied with his present lack of involvement. I hope it's due to being overburdened with games. In either case, I'm going to go with null.

It's always annoying when almost the entire game reads you as town and you ARE town :p my chances if survival tonight just took a major dip.
At least when you are under suspicion you might be kept alive for the potential mislynch, this is why I don't like a lot if positive feedback.
If I spot a scum player today though at least that works in my favour.
I will do another assessment sweep when I get time, still not a huge amount from some, has everyone at least offered early analysis on the rest of the players? Always useful if someone flips scum to see who they read as what.- Generic

Generating content early game can either be through broad stroke analysis or early game questioning. I'm more of the questioning type as opposed to the broad stroke analysis type; my thoughts on who is scum/town bounces around a lot early game unless I get lucky and pick up on a smoking gun. Although, I'll admit that I picked up on you as a player with a similar playstyle, so I found the "no content" charge a bit strange.

I did vote, I think Vel overlooked it. I just PM'd him, no worries.
Got it, thanks.
I missed it for two reasons:
The walls of text - you're going to need to learn to be more succinct. I was going to wait to say something after the game but this is a good opportunity. The other players (and the Mod) get tired of swimming through walls of text.
The vote buried in the post instead of on it's own line - self explanatory (and it's in the rules that votes should be on their own line).- Miss Stranger

Reason why I'm relying on meta is to get a general idea of everyone that's playing in this game, of course I'm looking into the nulls since I'm uncertain on how their town/scum gameplays are since for me just basing it on the first phase of this game doesn't suffice enough to get solid reads. But once it gets onto the later phases (mainly after Day 2) I can get better info on the players in this current game rather than relying on past games. Luckily, today's my last final so I'll be able to have a bit more free time afterward (still gotta finish up two more classes, yay for summer terms being ridiculously wonky @_@). Also, on post 141, I was more inclined on explaining the players in the null area (with the exception of Generic) and to be quite honest, I haven't spotted on anything really suspecting about you so far in this game.In post 153, Miss Stranger wrote:James May:he made an odd waltz-in in the middle of the game and got immediately picked on this line: "I'm trying to be a bit more cautious this time", pointed as a heavy scumtell by Fegelein and Champ and apparently Feel It.

Hi All, Just a quick contribution from what I have read over. From what I can see the game is still focused heavily on that one post of mine. Classic. I was a bit weary of Champ buddying up a bit but reading over it again, like it has been mentioned, it is not as much buddying up as he is asking a simple question, which I obviously agree with his opinion on.
Taken from one of MS's wall of posts:
Surely this is a good thing? If he trusts no one it would indicate that he is swaying towards town than scum.He finds pretty much everyone scummy which is little better than blind shooting and relying on mathematical odds when it comes to a lynch.
Taken from one of MS's wall of posts:
Ah, don't flatter meGen_Wolf (SE): my "favourite player" to discuss
I think to center a game around this one post, made on day 1 is silly. I don't feel that there is much of a case against me but rather a few opportunists. They speak of how I didn't respond well under pressure yet I was frustrated by how they failed to see the joke in it all. Simple logic denotes that you do not lynch someone 2 pages in. Now, it is not the type of environment to say it in but I would feel saying it on page 1 would create the benefit of the doubt.In post 100, Gen_Wolf wrote:
The only thing I ask that as townie players please do not lynch me anytime soon. We have 12 days to lynch someone. Within those 12 days if you still feel the need to lynch me that is mellow but at least take the other 12 days for scum to talk there way into trouble.
There's no reason to get fatalistic 4 pages into the game. What do you think of the case against you?
Sorry, that is all for now. Will be back on the weekend- Fegelein

I suppose you're right. While your behavior and reaction was odd, it's not as alarming as Gene_Wolf suggesting to lynch you already.In post 46, Feel It wrote:VOTE: Gen_Wolf
I'm not satisfied with his explanation that he wasn't serious, it was an odd and anti-town comment. I looked at some of his other games and I didn't seem him act like that.
OK, Feel It is leaning Town atm, I like his case against Gen_Wolf, although his tone fluctuates from slightly callous to cheery and merry, which is a little inconsistent. His motives are pretty Towny too, backseat scumhunting a little now, but justifiable by the fact that he has a solid scumread on Gen_Wolf.In post 56, Feel It wrote:Are you serious? I'm one the more involved posters so far, and retorting my scum claim with an accusation against me only makes you look even worse, look how quickly and desperate you latched on to champinoman backing you up before you accuse me of buddying.
