Okay. Reread the topic. GOD THIS IS THE WORST COMPUTER OF ALL TIME.
Essentially I caught on Day 2 being really freaking weird, two scum being dead, and yar.
Excal:
-votes against Andrew as a jokevote
-tries to justify a Corwin vote with Day 1 nonsense
-unvotes Corwin to vote for Alex
-talks a -lot- about his strategies as scum
http://www.rpgdl.com/forums/index.php?topic=362.msg7302#msg7302Interesting postage here, he does pretty long paragraphs and synopses on El-Cid, Shale, and Alex. However, he doesn't mention anyone else... except smodge, who he makes more or less a one-line bit regarding his existence.
Why do I think this is odd? Mostly because smodge is covering Excal's story about being a cop and investigating Andrew. More to the point, the cursory bit of just random regarding might be a product of him trying to get something out there regarding his buddy so he's not accused of not saying something about him.
-disappears for a chunk of time (wasn't keeping track) and then comes out embracing the proving of El-Cid's power.
-votes to "Rat" Otter
-votes for Drac after Yakko in Day 1-2, which doesn't seem like a good time for such a thing for scum?
-I'm not sure what VSM was talking about in the "Excal didn't have this issue before the Govenor thing", just a really weird exchange overall
-claims cop, which I definitely agree with Alex on being a really bizarre claim ibn conjunction with the Govenor pushing to not lynch
-investigates Andrew, who seems to be the same person Alex is already pointing fingers at. Perhaps scum know Andrew is busted by the Prince and try to bail via having Excal vote him?
Corwin:
-first post, he immediately attacks Otter for questioning the Prince because he needed -two- posts to have things explained
-more weirdness regarding Otter showing up early
-taking Rat's side in the Rat vs. VSM debate
-votes for CPU/Drac in the middle of Day 1-1
-argues with Rat about counting the anon vote, which I just find... really really weird, especially since I strongly suspect it is a scum vote
-embraces, much like Andrew, this stance: On Cid and the roleclaim. "I agree with Otter that letting go of the end-of-day lurker lynch to test Cid's claim is the better option for us."

-votes for Alex in ths post too
-attacks Excal for talking in scum POV, and then votes for him for the reason of "I don't like how he votes for CPU's replacement.". He seems to be trying to put heat on Yakko instead.

http://www.rpgdl.com/forums/index.php?topic=362.msg7811#msg7811 <-- Not a Corwin post, but a very interesting post by El-Cid regarding Corwin. El--Cid makes some good points here, and I agree that he's flailing.
-At the beginning of Day 2-2, he talks about Shale being a weird scum kill. Maybe trying to cover up the actual kill being eliminated? I'm not sure on this one at all.
-quizzes Alex a bit on the confirmation
-votes to Daykill Andrew after several others do
Corwin Votes for CPU for Voting then Unvoting and apparently wins the "lurker vote" when Andrew hasn't posted anything at all except an announcement that he's here, Corwin doesn't even bring up Andrew at this point despite going after hte lurker.
A valid point also about Corwin, I will need to research this on a computer that isn't really really really shitty.
smodge:
-says that VSM "lacks a sense of self-preservation"
-says Otter and El-Cid are 'ringing his scum bells' and then proceeds to accuse Cid of provoking him
-votes for CPU/Drac early, changes for no apparent reason other than HI, HE EXISTS. Okay.
-talks about Alex and VSM situation, laying a vote on VSM for making a mistake about Alex's playstyle
-regards a few people, including myself, Lady Door, and VSM, pointing fingers at all three of us. He makes (what I consider) a ridiculous statement trying to make me look bad, but I am biased because I am me.
http://www.rpgdl.com/forums/index.php?topic=362.msg7396#msg7396 <-- post in question
-votes for Drac at the end of Day 2
-*claims tracker, says that Excal is cleareed due to this... did you target *Excal* with your ability or Andy?*
-votes for VSM after Andrew dies as scum for a reason I do not understand, since Andy was trying to, uh, get him killed?
-accuses Corwin of a few things, including "being sparing with his votes"
I don't think smodge is scum for now, I was thinking about some of the things he said earlier but they feel more just weird than MALICIOUSLY intended.
Scum!points
-Andrew votes for OK/Yakumo, feels like an attempt to get attention away from CPU
-CPU does the weird vote/unvote for Cid
-Drac votes for VSM, trying to train him? Also talks about smodge's arguments on him having merits
-Andrew argues pro-Governor
-Andrew argues against smodge for OMGUS
-Andrew votes for VSM instead of voting for the logical choice of Excal, the cop who fingered him. Odd.
Currently entertaining the chance that one of Corwin and Excal is scum along with El-Cid. If two of the scum are pushing to confirm Cid so hard as well as losing the lynch for town, I think there might be a chance that they want said ability to be used to confirm Cid because he's scumbuddies with them. Cid being fully willing to start a train on me, along with LD, is something I find bothersome. Also entertaining that Corwin and QR are scumbuddies due to the anon vote thing? Iif one flipped scum I think the other would be pretty suspect to me due to his odd stance on the anonvote.
LD: I was taking a nap during when Otter was vigged and talking. If there was a post by me during that time, it would have been right before my nap, which meant I probably didn't want to deal with a GIANT OTTER RANT.
Three votes in a row on me! Scaaaary stuff, but I forgive y'all for now.
I don't find anything horribly scummy in anyone really.
...wait, what am I saying? I generally don't like replacing idle role pondering with good ol' fashioned scum-hunting, and his obsessive dwelling over one or two subjects while seeing to pass through all the rest. approve of aggressive play, but I don't approve at all of focus.
Not really a lot of time to do anything regardless; I hate this lynch, I think there are better suspects than lurkers, but if we want a lynch by deadline, I'll take it.
See and compare the underlined and bolded snippets. In the parts of the posts not quoted, she talked about maybe possibly voting for vsm (based on ... not liking his attitude?) but decided not to
Ciatos simply don't like frivilously voting on people. I think it undermines the value of your vote. So when I do vote for someone, I mean business. Disagree with this philosophy if you like, but I can't say I have any inclination to change it.
VSM was acting like a paranoid crazy man. I find this behavior to be innately suspect because it feels like flailing and reaching for things out of thin air. Why didn't I vote for him? Because I know VSM very well, and being really paranoid is, well, what VSM does sometimes. Applying universal rules of voting to people who aren't similar is something I do not consider to be a great idea. I didn't like VSM's actions, but I regarded them as what I believe they were; random paranoia.
Ciato on the other hand seems to have stood back a fair bit. Far too many of her posts are quick comments and "Oops, gotta go/out of time/more later." I understand IRL issues limiting her time - but on the occasions she has been here she's not really contributed much, throwing around a few comments and opinions but never taking hard stances on anyone. The lone exception is her defense of me, which, while I definitely agree with it and applaud her insight, makes her stand out a bit from the crowd and makes me wonder if it's a little more than insight this time.
I generally am not aggressive on Day 1 because I really just can't get a hold on things too well unless something weird just sticks out like a sore thumb (see Otter's play). The heart of the matter is that I've just been -tired- recently. When I am around and posting, I try to contribute, but it's hard for me to do a lot of analyzing when I spend eight hours a day on my studies. There's a reason that I was hestiant to play in this game, and that's because Mafia is time-consuming but so are the courses I'm taking. So it goes. Otter really caught my eye, even, and I had the intention of tear him a new one, and then I just got sleepy so I took a nap instead and then he died. <_<
Anon madness: Er, not sure. This post is getting kind of long on my computer screen, but I have no clue on the real length (yay ridiculously oversized resolution?). I'll think about it when I'm more lucid, but I think it's a weird thing for QR to do. Did you have to stick it to people or what? Or could it be spread out?
So basically after tracking three people in the topic, the numerous things cited in Corwin's posts, plus his inactivity on Day 2-1 despite seeming to be around. Corwin's amount of contribution in Day 1 was fine to me, but the things contributed were somewhat off. Day 2-1 he does very little aside from idle banter and talking about the scumkill.
##VOTE: Corwin Sorry about the length, but I've had a lot of catching up since I really got a chance to sit down and throughly read the topic minus distractions.
In addition, if you guys decide that you want to lynch me still, I'd at least like to do some final thoughts about everything before it happens, and I won't be back at school until maybe 7-8 o'clock CST Sunday evening. I'm not going to be around too much tomorrow either, I have to visit another friend or two while I am home, take my grandmother to town, and then make the two hour drive home where I am going to a volleyball tournament to play in. I will try to hop on at times during these periods, but I only get to come home once every one or two months, and Mafia simply isn't a priority over spending time with people I rarely see.
