Alright, let's do this! I'm going to try and put up a separate post on each of the other players, in no particular order. I'm going to start with Bookwyrm627, as perhaps the most suspected player so far. I'm also going to experiment with some different methods for linking to each of the sections I looked at. (It's probably going to end up looking ridiculous. C'est la vie.)
As I see it, his 'trap' or 'gambit' or whatever you want to call it, happened in and, to a lesser degree, .
Reading back over his RVS vote, I see three possibilities.
1) It actually was an RVS vote, in which case it really doesn't matter who he voted for. I would consider doing this myself, jokingly helping Krypsyn lynch himself.
2) He was doing it as a gambit, to draw attention to himself and Krypsyn and see what reactions he got. Bookwyrm knows that he could never get a real wagon going during the RVS, no matter how hard he tried.
3) Yogsloth suggested that he was doing it in order to give himself some distance from Krypsyn when he removed it. I don't see this as a reasonable possibility, because the very act of putting a 3rd vote in RVS draws attention, which won't disappear when he changes his vote.
In the end, I feel like it doesn't actually matter what he intended with his vote. I've discounted the scummy possibility, and the other two could come from either (any) faction.
His second gambit, the line is a much more ?obvious? trap. He got a lot of reactions from this line. (Sorry for doubting you, Bookwyrm. Reading again I see that your trap worked wonderfully well.)
And there seem to be several different opinions, which might be helpful in the future.
And Bookwyrm seems to lay out his reasons quite clearly in , , , etc.
He votes yogsloth without explicit reasoning, but when you go back and read,
Post 105 , Post 138 , Post 166 , and
Post 197 .
Since then, he has kept something of a low profile, defending himself, rather verbosely from death. My problem is that I don't think he's scum. He seems to think he's going to be lynched, and it does seem like a possibility, but I'm not going to be on his wagon today, because I read him as a townie who made a gambit that worked a little too well.
