Alright... I was hoping to see if we could figure out if there were any other people who were role blocked before OK was, for all that the discovery of Cor did paint him in a very flattering light. That said, I'll put the call out again. Are any of the remaining people here role blocked before night three?
Alright, it's a shame to see those two gone. They were two of the few people on my probably town list (Ciato may be controversial, but she's insightful, and I'd like to think I could catch it if she tried to fake one of her rants).
Alright, since I caught up this morning (but you all decided to rush hammer so I couldn't post these thoughts fresh) my impressions aren't going to be as sharp as they could have been. However, general impressions, in order of how towny I feel they are at present.
5. Excal - Sakuya Izayoi
I think this is the one time I can readily say I can see the arguments against myself. Heck, I'd probably be willing to join in the lynch if I hadn't of gotten the word of Mod as to his alignment. Regardless to say, Sakuya is under new management, and our 100% Town affiliation should soon become apparent.
6. Taishyr - Marisa Kirisame
Second on the list only by virtue of not being me. Barring some serious shenanigans, I think we can safely say he's town.
17. Halbarad - Yukari Yakumo
Sure, it's possible that he's not town. But from what I recall, both of our esteemed scum took their share of shots at him. However, it was most notably the way Alex went after him that convinced me. Alex contradicted a few key points that he says are fairly good scum tells to nag on Hal. The most notable is a fixation on post count instead of content. There was also the way he took a couple of jabs trying to remind us about how long it'd been since Hal posted last, and named him as a high profile lurker when a LaL wind was blowing through the air. Simply put, it was a hard press, and I can't see a scum bus going that hard for no reason, especially when neither Alex nor Hal were in any danger.
13. El Cideon - Remilia Scarlet
Generally quiet, but when he does talk, he tends to go on at length about the issues, and chips in where he can. I think he's trustworthy. I especially agree with the points he was making during the Tai/QR dispute.
3. Carthrat - Fujiwara no Mokou
Rat... he always throws me for a bit of a loop. That said, my impression on him is vaguely town, as he's been coming in, generally been good at keeping the discussion flowing, and not harping on any point after there's no reason in continueing on with it so that a fresh flow of ideas can keep going.
8. Gatewalker - Hong Meiling
A solid neutral read here. Despite reading through everything, I can't remember any strong points you made, nor any time when conversation has centered around you. As such, you really do come across as someone who's simply dropping in, tossing in your two cents, and then hanging around the lobby some more. That said, it doesn't feel too much like you're just parrotting everyone else, so I'm not too worried about you.
10. Shale - Yuka Kazami
He's also part of this crowd that generally seems to be on the fringes, looking in, staying silent for a while, and then jumping in for short bursts of activity that leave you with... again, not much.
15. Otter - Reimu Hakurei
Otter... Now, he's an interesting case in that I do have thoughts on him, though apparently some of the particulars have slipped my mind which is frustrating. Anyways, I note one or two of his positions being odd, and specifically something about his interaction with Alex. I dunno... I know he was one of the two lurkers named by Alex, but looking at that, I just have this nagging suspicion that Alex might have been trying to use that to help clear one of his buddies or himself if they were caught. So, why Otter and not Hal? Because Alex kept on going after Hal, and because Hal was the one that everyone felt the comment was unfair to. Again, this isn't the only thing that's bugging me about Otter, but I'll need to topic dive again to get the full impression.
Aside from that, though... he looks clean, plays clean. He'd be a lot higher if it weren't for the fact that something in the back of my head says to look at him more closely.
14. Yakumo - Flandre Scarlet
So, Yakko's basically been doing the same thing as Shale and Gate, so why is he down here? Simple, I can remember even less of his commentary. At least those two drop in, make their small comments, and generally try to get a lot of thoughts out when they do post. Yakko, it feels like he's making a lot of small meaningless posts around the periphery of important happenings so that it looks like he's a part of everything, despite not actually being a part of anything.
19. Smodge13 - Komachi Onozuka
See Yakko, only less so. Of course, part of this is simply that Smodge doesn't have much presence in general. So I tend to give him so added leeway.
7. Tonfa - Yuyuko Saigyouji
Which brings us to Tonfa. Perhaps it's the fact that Hal's been making a good, and consistant, case here. Or the fact that you seem to combine Yakko's general periphery hanging with Shale's level of posting. Either way, you're not looking terribly good.
Now, this reminds me of one other thing. Alex, at one point, decided that we needed to focus on the lurkers. He did this by trying to get us going after two people who were not, in fact, lurking. He also did this at around the same time as some other people were trying to steer us towards lynching the lurkers. I believe it was one of Ciato's few bursts of activity that Alex derailed. This leads me to suspect that there may well be scum hiding in one of the lower posting members of our game.
