Arcvasti:
So far despite being one of the more active players you have mainly hung back to poke or prod at the situation mainly by just answering questions or offering just observations.
We've got an extended day here, which means plenty of time to mull things over. Its entirely possible abstaining from pressure voting people might be a bad tactic, but I currently don't have any major suspects, although this will probably change midway through writing this post as I compile suspicious stuff from various people.
My personal theory is that its both, but I've got little besides gut instinct and dubious "evidence" to support it.
Are you planning to try and build up a case?
Below, I have compiled everything suspicious about
roo,
The Moonlit Shadow and
fillipk.
Timeline:
-Was asked if they were town by roo
-Voted roo immediately afterwards
-Justified vote on roo with somewhat fuzzy logic
-Attempted to un-extend the day, which would have gotten roo lynched as a consequence
-In a later post defending themselves, pointed out roo's weak logic instead of their own
Conclusion: I believe they could have panicked after roo asked them if they were town because they're either scum and new to the game or town and are just new to the game and thus paranoid of revealing too much about themselves.
-Votes fillipk as RVS, justifies with meme
-Took vote off of fillipk and put it on The Moonlit Shadow in order to tie up the votecount and not be lynched
-Said that they will roleclaim shortly to attempt to avoid lynch
Conclusion: This actually doesn't seem terribly suspicious, looked at this way. Sorta defensive, but they were going to die in under an hour before the extension was voted in. Withholding judgement until they come back to post more as they're kinda quiet now that they're not in immediate danger.
-Was RVSed by roo
-Voted roo in retaliation
-Almost got roo lynched before the day was extended
-Justified their vote on roo by saying that they had a good track record and that their gut said roo was scum
-Very soon afterward, changed their vote to The Moonlit Shadow, citing general suspiciousness and the fact the The Moonlit Shadow was the easier lynch
-Began asserting that they were town, used the noob card and said they just wanted to get the day over with
-Asserted that they were town a second time
-Asserted that they honestly believed roo and The Moonlit Shadow were both scum
-Unvoted The Moonlit Shadow, citing that they thought The Moonlit Shadow was probably just another noob
-Went after some lurkers after goaded into scum-hunting
-Went after roo afterwards
-Said that they still believed roo to be scum, although I'm not sure if they shifted their vote or not
Conclusion: There are two real possibilities. Either they're scum or they're town and keep digging themselves deeper with mood swings and poorly thought out defenses. I'd say they're the most likely of the three to be scum, at least until roo posts some more and we get more data on him.
Out of the other major posters,
Kilakan and
FallacyofUrist seem unsuspicious because of their proactivity, use of logic and lack of flailing. Thus they are either good townies or especially devious scum. I am assuming the former, although the latter may eventually turn out to be true. I will also point out that, in a game like this with two opposing scum teams, active scum-hunting would be an excellent tactic for the scum themselves so as to use the town to take out their rival scum.
Those with prior experience with Arcvasti
Does the aforementioned usually do this?
First time in Bay12 mafia here, no one has prior experience with me.
Alright, based on the above, I am voting
fillipk, as they are currently the best choice for a random or semi-random vote, at least until
roo posts some more.
