Alright, here's my quick notes from my overnight analysis without quotes:
Beth: She's jumping around, appeals to emotion, OMGUS vote, lots of "flip-flopping" with other players, though it could be just running with day 1 jokes...I know I've been jumping back and forth as well with the jokes and sarcasm, so I can't weigh that too heavily. She's also denying the obvious. I feel she's one to watch this game.
JL: Quick to jump on the "accuse Beth" bandwagon, but didn't actually place his vote there. Maybe he was just trying to keep the post-count up, maybe he was trying to do some misdirect...does something similar but lower-key against Ice in post 128.
Ice: He looks like he's having fun harrassing everyone. Can't really get a read on him, and haven't read any of his past games.
Madcrawdad: His first post jumps on the accuse-Beth bandwagon. Perhaps he's a pirate and they've chosen to accept Beth's loss right off the bat. Still, he hasn't added his vote against her.
HN: I don't know what to read from him. Lots of general banter and picking at random posts. I'll be watching him, hoping to get a better read.
MG: Can't say anything other's having said. He's voting without saying why, he alludes to a hidden reason, yet won't share it. Very suspicious.
JM: She's always trying to turn the attention back on me. I find it amusing and concerning, but then again, aren't I doing the same thing? Watch us, see who's helping, and who's just trying to get the attention off them.
DD: She does a quick slam on myself then goes on to quote and make a bigger deal out of beth, jumping on the accusing bandwagon. Still didn't lay a vote down though. She does some accusations of others as well.
Grin: An even smathering of everyone, accusations and questions all around. I like this, not jumping on anyone in particular, but not letting anyone go either.
LG: Completely ignored the Beth-bashing...and adds a bit to mine and HN's posts in her first couple posts. Finally on 244 she jumps on the pirate...I mean Beth bandwagon.
Here's what I think is going on, and what I was talking about earlier: All the pirates can talk, and I suspected the'd start a train and hope that the 5-7 of them could pull together enough opinion to make the rest of us suspect their accused and join them to "plank" an innocent, or a sacrifice. Right now they're not voting, but there is a bandwagon of accusations on one player particularly...A good majority of the players seem to be going after Beth.
I don't think everone going after Beth is a pirate, nor can I say if the accusations are based on Beth slipping about being a pirate, or just a case being made against an innocent...but I believe the bandwagon is the act of pirates. So far the players on the bandwagon are: JL, Madcrawdad, DD, then LG. I don't know if they're all pirates, but I strongly suspect from their actions that most of them are.
So, a random vote from the list, I vote to make Madcrawdad walk the plank
