Affinity: Uh... I'm sorry I missed a post? No need to develop an attitude about it. I've been focusing a bit on the current cases, and thus managed to forget the questions you asked earlier. A simple reminder would suffice. :p
To address your questions...
On the subject of lacking, Version Bardiche: Fairly intense on a single case and relatively reactive posting. Not so much scum hunting as sitting back and watching cases develop. Not even really defending himself or scumhunting with that much fervor. The most damning part about it is the relative passiveness that is bothering me here.
Version Affinity: Generally speaking, you haven't contributed that much. You've added an okay thing here or there, but most of your posts have been spent either asking questions or bringing up singular points and never really striving to develop a real case. While this is... okay, it isn't bringing what I would consider much real content to the game. Suffice it to say, I really had to go back and review all your posts to remember anything you've brought up.
Version Kiro: The end of day 1 shenanigans (including his relative indecision going into the end of the day) is a large part of it. Add in the lack of a really strong vote record and a method of discussion similar to Bardiche (although, admittedly on a reread, better) in which he just sort of posts observations and breaks down either cases, rather than really building up on any other ones. I might be misinterpreting him slightly, but it really seems like he isn't building up any real cases of his own either.
On the subject of the Framer logic: Alex as town => Xanth as town could be refuted by the presence of a framer disrupting Alex's apparent sanity. Tom gets framed night 1, Alex investigates and gets scum result. Flips as town, so everyone assumes Alex must be an insane cop, when, in truth, he's a sane cop. Night 2, he investigates Xanth and gets scum as a result. Due to presumed insanity, we assume he must be town. However, since Alex is actually a sane cop who hit a framed target, he could actually be real scum.
In other words, if Alex's target was framed, all our assumptions about Alex's role would be wrong. So, a framer opens the potential for Sane Cop Alex and Scum Xanth.
On giving him one more day: Actually, the reason for giving him one more day is to get one more potential result out of Alex and see how the night unfolds. It could help with his alignment, but the main reason is to see who scum try to kill/do whatever else they can do. There are a few different options they have, and seeing which one/s they take might be an educational experience. The off-chance of better information and perhaps another confirmed alignment stemming from Alex's death would be great before he dies.
On the subject of Bardiche: There is a problem with him sticking to his vote. Presuming that Bardiche IS town, he is the only one who is 100% aware of his own alignment. As such, lynching ANYONE ELSE is a statistical improvement for hitting scum. Thus, in most situations, I feel that a townie who is in danger of being lynched should, in almost every circumstance, be trying to move to another active lynch train. It really does boil down to simple statistics. Bardiche staying on Excal at this point is doing nothing for him. If he wants to live (which, really, a townie should), he should be working to find some way to do this.
The most obvious way is moving to another building lynch train if you have no reason to believe this is an absolutely awful idea. Again, if you are town, lynching you has a 100% chance of hitting town. Anyone else could POTENTIALLY be scum. So, when push comes to shove and your current main candidate is not working, I see no reason not to try something else. This, of course, doesn't mean you should abandon your previous case. It simply means you need to prioritize based on the situation. I'm certainly not advocating that he start randomly voting until a lynch sticks, I'm advocating that he keep his Excal case on the sidelines and pursue another avenue of attack.
So, essentially, I'm criticizing him for complaining that we aren't the ones trying to save his hide, when he himself isn't trying as hard as he could either.
Ninja'd: Kilga explained the Alex thing more succintly!
