Here’s a few thoughts on some of those still in the game. For those not listed, I’m not necessarily saying that I have them leaning innocent, I just haven’t seen anything really scummy yet.
Ice – while we don’t know his status fully, I’m leaning him innocent right now. The fact that he was willing to sit on Andi (known mafia) makes me think he might be innocent. Had he stayed on Andi until the end, I would have felt a little more sure, though.
I pretty much agree with this. I don't think he's off the hook, but there seem to be other's to target today.
LChap – I strongly believe that he’s scum. Alot of general observations (scenarios, post counts, etc.) on Day 1, without really pointing out anything useful. Late in the day pulls out his cutlass and mounts a heroic swashbuckling effort to save Ice. The thing that bugs me here though is that when he made his intentions to save Ice known, he then put his vote on Emo (known innocent) instead of Andi (known mafia). Keep in mind that Ice was parked on Andi at the time, so to me, it would have made more sense for LChap to stand shoulder to shoulder with Ice as opposed to trying to pull Ice off of Andi. He didn't move onto Andi until I wondered (in the thread) if there was a reason that he didn't hop onto Andi with Ice.
I really don't know what to do with LChap. Half the time he seems innocent, half the time he seems mafia. If there's a big pile on him, I would probably join in, but I think I'll rattle some bushes first.
Beth – a lot of general observations on Day 1 without pointing out anything useful. Committed what I consider to be a major blunder with regard to claiming which posts may have influenced her vote. I think she’s probably scum.
agreed
Ogre – not a strong feeling here, but I don’t necessarily follow the thought process regarding his vote for Ice. I understand the logic, but the process as to how he eventually brought himself to vote for Ice is of interest…
In post #77 Ogre expresses concern that the quiet mafia players are getting the more vocal townie posters to cut each other’s throats. He goes on to vote RB (a pretty quiet poster at the time). When RB posts a little, Ogre removes his vote and the next day votes for Ice (a more vocal poster). Kind of a complete 180 from his earlier position.
Yes, I'm still expressing concern that quiet people are slipping by. That's a huge concern every game. How many times do we all go after a heavy poster because of something they said and how many times have we been right. All a mafia has to do is sit back and wait for a heavy poster to slip up (Emo anyone?) and then jump on them with both feet.
At the time, I felt there was a concerted effort to safe Ice. I still think that way more and more. He's a prime suspect for me.
Chas – what the heck is up there? Charlie has to know that his play style this game is not helping the town at all. As I think that Charlie is generally more conscientious when a townie, I think that he’s quite possibly scum.
He's my current suspect. Charlie is better than this as a townie. He almost always got nailed because of his aggressive approach. So, this new, quiet charlie just may be mafia.
BKW - late jump onto Ice is worth noting, not sure that it makes him scum, though. One to watch.
If Emo was mafia, then I would have said that bkw AND Ice were mafia. Now, I just don't know.
