I was asked to explain my thoughts and I did. I'm not trying to convince anyone. I don't expect anyone to agree. If anything I expect you (or perhaps The Town?) to disagree. A fortunate side effect of disagreeing with something is that you find yourself thinking.

I'ld be happy if it got you thinking for yourselves.

Yes. JMich and mostly because 1) he is incredibly inscrutable and 2) he is lurking until someone mentions his name and viola he appears in a puff of smoke to say nothing of substance.

I don't like this for the obvious reason it allows him to skirt any suspicion and yet remain above reproach.

what's he got to do with this?

Some of Joes more recent posts are rubbing me up the wrong way - plus he did the same thing right at the start of the day, but it's not a major concern at the moment. beady eye is upon him though

SPF - nothing concrete except a tendency to flit around with his vote, backing whatever seems most likely at the time to get a bandwagon going.

There's been plenty of quiet people as well - stands to reason one of the quiet ones is probably mafia, it's very rare in a game where all mafia players are vocal...

We have ten days to pull together - most voting seems to be scattered right now.

Can i repeat CSPVG's question to everyone - can we have your main suspects and why please?

Soitantly. Ordered from least to most suspect:

gkaiser – a bit quiet, but I have no ill feelings. Most posts seems very innocent. Good singer after all. A bit quiet.

amok - Can’t sing at all. Did some sort of very super soft claim, but seem to be town. Did mention ‘family’ to start, which is a bit suspect. What family did he mean indeed? The mafia is sometimes referred to as “the family”. But still, think he is town.

CSPVG, Darko, Robbeasy, – non-entities… could turn either way. Nice barbershop, nice harmonies, but to quiet.

Vitek – Does not quite hit the low notes, but a nice enough tenor. Comes a bit strongly, but did the same in last game where he was town. Still undecided, but not on the bottom of my list.

SirPrimalform, JoeSaphire – good duet, mostly instrumental, can hold a tune. Not sure about them at all.

QuadrAlien – suspected kkreo to be mafia, thereby Alien is suspected by extension. Prefers acapella, which is fine, but it is a bit quiet.

JMich – plays exactly the same way as previous game, where he was scum. Lurks too much in the shadows, and do not commit. Prefers to whistle old country tunes, it grates a bit in the ear.

Flubbucket – Made too much out of the Zombie remark, went too strongly out and tried to make a case out of nothing. Tries to mix House and Gospel, but it does not quite work - it is out of tune and do not harmonize.

Isn't "too quiet" quieter that "a bit quiet"?

Indeed it is.

So you think I'm quieter than gkaiser? Who seems innocent in most posts? (a bit of paraphrasing, hope I got the gist of that)

No, it is the barbershop.... it could be louder, I like a good harmony.

Anyway, the feeling I got from the posts, that even if gkaiser has posted more he has revealed more also. So it is not just a matter of speaking the most...

@gkaiser: While I'm not convinced about your target (:P), but this is good! Seems like you're getting into the swing of things.

@Joe: I miss Viola Torx. =<

@Rob: Since starting work I've been checking the game a few times a day and finding myself frustrated with the lack of activity. At least I don't seem to be at risk of lurking any more.

@amok: Stalker! Joe and I are both musicians and have on occasion played as a duo.

You say stalker, I say psychic. Poteito, Potato.

Argh! you confound my head!

My list of suspects will include those whom I think have done little to no scum hunting.

In no particular order...

JMich
CSPVG
QuadrAlien (I know he's a late comer)
gkaiser

Where is everybody?

I still like gkaiser the most for scum for the reasons I've mentioned.
From the top 3 contenders I prefer SPF. He seems a bit too eager to jump on things, no matter how insignificant they seem. Could be simple boredom and nothing nefarious of course, but who knows.
I could accuse flubbucket of the same thing, but he seems to have an OCD style of posting which makes me think he's just being extremely literal and not necessarily evil.
Vitek... I don't know. I do believe the case against him was exaggerated, but then I look his 268 post, addressed to SPF (I think).
"I am done here. You won't hear single word about this from me anymore because...
No, I am not rude enough to finish that sentence."
Was he seriously that mad at that point? Still, he's probably my least favorite of the 3.
Robbeasy, JMich, amok and JoeSapphire are all wildcards as far as I'm concerned. I need more info. Is JoeSapphire the kind of person that will go live as a hermit in the forest once we reach the shore or will he turn into a Pesci-type Goodfella?
I still think CSPVG is suspicious, but I need more info to reach a certain conclusion. Quad is only suspicious to me due to his relation to kkreo.
Some initial thoughts on the players, hope I didn't forget anyone. Obviously I could be wrong about everything, it's still day 1.

Hmm, was actually fairly busy at work today so haven't checked since last night. Disappointed in the lack of posts. On the bus posting from my phone right now so just a brief run down of my suspects.


V-Tech - Two "weird things". A possible claim and a possible slip. Both have reasonable explanations and I mostly believed he was town until "sucker paranoia" kicked in. Not really sure, but he's definitely something.

Flubacinth Bouquet - Was tunnelvising at Vitek so badly that he was beginning to make things up, maybe an overzealous townie? Seems to have calmed down now anyway.

Kaiser Gilhelm - Made some kind of unprompted softclaim that sounds fairly 'un-town'. Might be neutral or might be a beginners false claim. A first time scum who's never been town might not know that it would come across as sounding survivorish.
