Posted July 04, 2015
I'm going to put together a large post with most of my thoughts so far, in order of their related posts.
Vitek: Recently there was minor drama involving one long-time resident of town insulting everyone around, saying he can't put up with local bullies anymore and moving out to some unkown location. There is something about this line that makes me uncomfortable, but I can't put my finger on it. Is this just Vitek creating flavour, or does it have significance. I'll try to keep this line in mind as events unfold. I love how these lines say the exact same thing, just in case you missed it the first time. Just had to point that out. This line is also very interesting. It could be dramatic phrasing, or it could be an indicator of multiple factions that are threatening the town.
This is where yogsloth brings in his PM, blatantly, and apparently because he has no other information. I can see the danger of talking about PMs, but yogsloth seems to have done a good job of vaguely paraphrasing. Unfortunately, he also has basically no real analysis, just a few feelings and impressions.
Of course, trentonlf jumps on him in the very next post, as I would have expected from their behaviour last game.
Here we have yogsloth beginning to call names. "completely reactive player", "shut down brain and walk away", "like Hijack". I would take these seriously if he hadn't done the exact same thing last game. I do think trentonlf is too quick to attack for bringing up roles and PMs, but he is always the same, so I'm trying to read between the lines on his posts.
Amusing because this is post 63, but anyway.
"need hand fed information", "weak player", "lost cause". Of course, trentonlf can't accept that yogsloth plays differently.
OK, forget them.
I find it interesting that CSPVG would post his PM, or something that he wants us to think is his PM. It doesn't seem like normal behaviour, and he seems to say that in his post as well. The actual words he posted aren't very helpful, as they could be either anti-town or pro-town.
Here is the mod's first post in-game, at post #100. I find it suspicious the number of people that have made no positive contributions in the first hundred posts. Krypsyn has managed a lot of posts, all of which contain nothing but YouTube clips. Leonard03 has said nothing of importance, Cristigale has only asked about gender clarifications (That sounds really wrong), and Sage has really only reluctantly shared a six-word caption of her PM.
I have to admit that I haven't posted anything really relevant in here either, but I'm ignoring myself, for obvious reasons.
Bookwyrm627: I'd decided half way through last game to jump on the first vote someone else made and add to it. By the time I posted in this thread, Krypsyn voted himself and someone else added to that, so I decided to join that instead. I figure Krypsyn will jump off his own wagon before the suicide, so I'm only counting his wagon as two votes. Naturally, you'll get alcohol poisoning if you start circling around this logic of mine too much. I LOVE this paragraph. A beautiful example of deliberate WIFOM.
Bookwyrm627: Speaking of which: I am SO very town. I definitely am not here to kill as many people as possible so I can make a bouncy castle from your bones before I move to the big city. Nope, not me. trentonlf picked up on this in a small way, but I think Bookwyrm is saying more than that he has a death wish. Obviously, it's partly sarcasm, but it does sound like his PM might have him trying as hard as possible to get out of this town. Not a scum-tell, but an interesting point that sounds like it's paraphrased from a PM.
Leonard03: It does feel like Bookwyrm is deliberately trying to arouse suspicion. Could be a godfather looking for a cop investigation? Leonard03 brings up a good point here. Is Bookwyrm a godfather, looking for investigation, or is he feinting, trying to lure out the mafia with the prospect of an easy target?
It seems to me that too many people are saying too much. Somewhere, something is going to drop, and when it does, I'll be watching for it.
cristigale, sage, and flubbucket, just so you know, I AM NOT an experienced player. I read through the last game as it played out, and I'm reading in between the lines on trentonlf and yogsloth. I'm not sure if I should be happy that I seem experienced.
And there're now a ton more posts. I'll come back in a bit and go over them.
