Alright, as promised here are some of Fire's posts.
Nothing particularly interesting about this post except for the fact that it establishes that FD knows how to play the game. Here she mentions that 'the game is played by bringing people over to your way of thinking, through reasoning and persuasion.' The interesting thing when looking at FD's posts throughout the game, though, that's not how she played. She admittedly follows others through most of the game, and even when she votes piggy she throws out little comments that may actually dissuade others to vote piggy.
This is FD's first list. Seems innocent enough. Lots of VERY minor differentiation in numbers assigned, though... intead of giving everyone 5s to say 'I can't really say at this point,' Brandy is giving 3s, 4s, 5s, etc. to make it look like she's analyzing each person with a magnifying glass. The '?!?! Gah!' rating for eddie is particularly nice, as it shows that Brandy is actually anguishing over which ratings to give. Sploke apparently gave her goose bumps and got a 7.
The thing is, alot of the ratings for players are inconsistent... HN gets a 5 and a smilie because Brandy missed him. Dawg gets a 5 for 'no read'. Cat gets a 4 for not sticking out... So why didn't Dawg get a 4? Apparently he's not sticking out as FD has no read on him. Plantling gets a 6 for 'no really good reason'. It's weird. What she's said about people and how she so carefully rated them seems inconsistent across players. Looks like she's working pretty hard, though.
Here she's voting piggy, admittedly following Cat. Voting piggy, but not really saying anything that would persuade anyone else to...actually warning that Cat could be mafia, which may actually dissuade others from casting a vote for piggy.
A couple of interesting things here... votes piggy, yet in the same post says, 'I can honestly say that I am lost as to a good vote.' Also says that Cat may be mafia and leading FD down a not so rosy path. Once again, while voting piggy, FD sure doesn't seem to be trying to get others to. Actually said things that could keep folks away. But if the Grinch ever goes down, FD looks good, right?
After Cat comes out, FD willing to follow Cat's vote (with no 'he may be leading me astray' banter) and comes a little harder at piggy to look good.
In this post, after the Grinch is lynched. FD gives the 'I knew piggy was evil!!' If you look at some of the things she said when she voted on the previous days before Cat came out, you'd never think that she was so sure. Would you?
This post is in response to my case on Dawg. Even though FD herself has recently been saying that she thought Dawg was mafia, she now makes it look like she may be being pulled on board by me. Her problem, though, is that Dawg and I might BOTH be mafia. And HN might be innocent... a couple of things here: a) if she's worried that Dawg AND I are mafia, why worried about getting on board? Even if I'm tossing Dawg under the bus, she still believes the case on Dawg, right? b) sure looks like a possible attempt to cover for HN.
In digging through FD's posts, that's what I was able to find. While she did vote for the grinch, which should apparently make her 'good to go,' she sure said things that would probably keep others from doing so. Also, admittedly followed Cat through the ENTIRE game. Doesn't leave much of a trail when you do that.

Something to look at.....
10, mafia --- 1, innocent
Madcrawdad - 3 - feeling ok about him right now
jpappy789 - 6 - the digging through past games thing nudged you up from a 5
noodles62 - 7 - maybe I just have to get used to your play style, but there's been an awful lot of confusion in such a small amount of time -
Hooked Newbie - 5 - missed you, too
Dangerdoll - 4 - seems to me to be playing like DD, guns blazing no matter the role - not comfortable with a higher or lower rating yet
johnlarson66 - 7 - for trying to predict rb's behavior in terms of roles
dirtydawg10 - 5 - no read
Eddiecorrea - ?!?! - Gah! I think he is innocent. I keep flashing back to lasbianchap's first game, and catfish's first game, and how being a vocal newb, talking in the game like the "vets" do (in terms of joking around, etc), got them lynched, though they were innocent........ i just don't know
catfish69hunter - 4 - for no good reason other than you don't stick out
TH3RD_LEG - ?
plantling - 6 - no really good reason, sorry
FireDancer7905 -
piggy67 - 6 - kinda a bad feeling, but that's all I got
sploke - 7 - ok, there was a moment when you called a theory ridiculous and declared te opposite to be more likely (about the late-comer being an innocent or mafia). It screamed mafia to me, and just gave me goose bumps,
Virtuoso2K12- 5- for the same reasons as eddie above
...FWIW.....
Now, completely off-topic: I am getting kittens tomorrow!!!!! My dear Charlotte has been gone for 2 months, and I am ready to have some fluffy friends around again. I will be sure to post pics as soon as I get good ones!

We are down 2 innocents, and that sucks. I can honestly say that I am lost as to a good vote. I liked cat's logic for voting piggy, and so voted piggy, thinking mafia. No good, the 3-- person came in all weird-like and was killed. I totally understand why he got the votes he did, but I wish we had voted on someone who could have shown us something. By voting him out, we learned nothing via interactions with other people, which is unfortunate. Then the mafia take out Eddie, for which I don't blame them. His posts were driving me nuts, and he was giving off an odd vibe. The big question is, did the mafia take him out because he was picking on one of them, or to totally screw up the town's plan of grilling him before night "tonight"? Back to where I started, I voted piggy, feeling good about it, but my feelings about cat are currently up in the air, leaving me stuck. I would like to vote for piggy still, but if Cat is mafia, I don't want to be led around by him. *sigh*
John, I am about to post a list...just wanted to give you a heads up. I do promise to include a vote, if that helps.
An incomplete list, with only pertinent thoughts....
10, mafia --- 1, innocent
johnlarson66 - 4 - I know, a surprise turnaround. But we are of like minds on a few players, and as I know I am not psychic, either you are and are sending good-jl-vibes, or you are not evil elf scum.
dirtydawg10 - 3 - I find myself agreeing with at least part of what he says about DD and the Eddie hit -
Dangerdoll - 8 - following Dawg's post mentioned above, she jumps all over the whole "off course I was being set up" angle. This seems to be a very convenient way to shift blame away from herself, without having to be the one to bring it up. If she is evil, this was exactly the out she needs....
catfish69hunter - 6 - nudged up from innocent, not sure he's mafia, but also not feeling trusting of him
piggy67 - 8 - Still not feeling happy elf vibes from him. I don't like the tone of his posts, or how he still seems to be leaving his thoughts out of his posts. Also, statistically speaking, one of the newbs should be mafia. After last night, piggy and virt are the only ones left.
Virtuoso2K12- still not feeling too hot about him. Same stats reason given above in "piggy."
I vote to lynch Piggy.
I work late tomorrow, then am going to visit my friend and her new baby in the hospital. If I get back in time, I am willing to swtich my vote to one of my higher numbers above to help the town.
G'Nite!
