Just letting you guys know that I don't have much posting time at the moment, but if all goes well I'll be ready with an analysis soon after 7 pm or so tomorrow.
Soon after 7 pm tomorrow was soon after 7 pm yesterday. Your prior incarnation was already suspicious, but that may just have been fallout from other things, but promising to not lurk and then doing so? Hmm, mayhaps you are scum after all, Vector. Post or be upgraded to vote.
I suppose you missed this, though it was sprayed all over the place in a couple threads. I've been on vacation until yesterday, with minimal internet access. I also slept terribly for two weeks. Yesterday, I got home at midnight or so after dealing with airports for 10 hours (9 pm my time), and then had to stay up until the point of utter brain-deadness--i.e., 3 in the morning--to reregulate myself to the usual time zone.
That would be why I didn't post yesterday. I try to be at least semi-coherent when writing in here.
...
Today was eaten by my vast love of Colonization and belated Christmas celebrations.
Anyway, here's the results of a thread reread:
Pandarsenic - Looks town, though I'll need to see more of his posts once he gets his computer back.
Mr.Person - Probably town. Some odd behavior, but I cannot see anyone trying to stop a fight in the center ring as scum (unless one of the members is a partner, but even then I consider it unlikely)
Leafsnail - Looks like town to me. He tends to be much more passive when playing scum
eduren - also not sure. Has been sidelining.
Apostolic Nihilist - not sure. Leaning towards town.
JanusTwoface - scum.
ToonyMan - not sure. Leaning towards scum, due to general lack of posting + scumhunting. I'm accustomed to seeing him far more active as town.
So, ToonyMan and Apostolic Nihilist: who do you think are scum, and why?
As for JanusTwoFace:
Its a pretty simple request.
True, but not terribly relevant. At least you could ask something game related?
Eduren, have I missed anything interesting?
So, not reading the thread (understandable(ish) for RVS) and casting the first second vote of the game (with the coresponding first vote two posts above that). Care to explain either?
Passiveness and attacking stupid/small things. If you're reaction-testing, your blows are too mild; if you're making a genuine attack, you're going after far too little. I know you're a good player, and this is nonsensical in either direction.

Does that "if all goes well" mean nothing to you, scumbucket? I didn't "promise not to lurk." I promised to stop lurking once I had stopped being on the other side of the country. If you've got some real accusations, bring them and vote me.
Also, again: too much caution. "Oh, you are scum mayhaps." I don't like your severe indirectness.
Neighborly voter is one of the most powerful roles in the hands of town. It's completely and utterly self-destroying in the hands of scum.
You really like adjectives don't you? I agree with Leafsnail though. I think that you are vastly overestimating the power of the Neighborly Voter. It would have been useful if Zai hadn't revealed himself or if the Backup Voter would have had it, but I personally think that the Shielded Voter is a nice ability to save. Robs the scum of a vote or makes a townie immune to scum powers. Works out either way.
Is there some reason why you're muttering about adjectives and pontificating on the potential usefulness of someone that is dead? Other than, say, the fact that you're scum and trying to turn an argument into a full-out brawl?
Zai dies. Neighborly voter is transferred to Backup Voter. If the Backup Voter is town, we wind up in a slightly better situation except with one less townie. If Backup Voter is scum, we gain an immense foothold.
Most of the time, we don't even hit scum on D1. It's statistically unlikely -- why would you take such a huge risk for such tiny gains?
Again with the adjectives for AN. (Quotes borrowed from Leafsnail)
Again with the muttering about adjectives for JTF.
I SAID TO STOP TALKING ABOUT IT LEAFSNAIL AND APOSTOLIC NIHILIST
On one hand, I agree with you. The argument is drawing a lot of what little focus we have in on itself. On the other hand, it's a good thing that they are pushing at each other. Judging by the strength of the reactions, one or the other is likely to be scum.
Personally, I disagree with you though. I think that Apostolic Nihilist is using too much flowery language to try to drive home his point and by extension not thinking his points through as well as he could be.
1. You sound like you're trying to turn this fight into a townie-vs.-scum dichotomy. Do you really think that town and scum push at each other that aggressively? To me, it sounds like you're trying to line up lynches.
2. His points are about DEAD PEOPLE. This isn't matter of life or death; he's not pushing anything dangerous. You want him lynched because he's got an opinion about dead people and the strength of various roles? Are you insane?
3. You have shown no connection whatsoever between the strength of his points and his language usage, and further there is no link between strength of argument and scummitude (particularly given the subject matter). Your logic is devoid of sense.
JanusTwoFace.
