I took a look at Pimpson's profile. He's listed as being last active on the 17th, while N1 ended on the 14th. I doubt that our mod would not at least PM or contact the wolves' in the scumchat if they were failing to send in their kill PM. Since Pimpson was last active during the 17th, I think that he would be active during N1, and would see whatever warning Spitfire would give the wolves about missing their kill PM, and deal with the problem. Since he was active during N1, and I really doubt that the mod would not warn the wolves if they are about to miss their chance to kill, so Pimpson's lack of experience and lurking would not be the cause of the wolves missing their kill. I know that at least Pimpson isn't scum, and your theory doesn't really mean he is. As for others, I am not sure. You mentioned that Eduren and Blargity predecessors also fit with your theory. I checked their predecessors profiles, and they have both been active today.
As for who would try a plan such as what I suggested, I would say someone with experience at mafia, so maybe Eduren or Leafsnail. They seem like the people with the experience to try that.
That's... actually pretty good. I was going by last posts in the game. Hadn't thought of that angle. I'll take it one step further:
This is Pimpson's last post, anywhere, on Bay12:
oohhh im new so im definitely interested
The timestamp is during n1, so, Diabolous, I guess you're cleared for now.
UnvoteGeneralGuy posted within two hours of n1 ending, and thrice since then. My accusation of him was a mistake, as I overlooked those posts.
Leafsnail, I don't understand what you mean by werewolves hit mafia. Why you said it that way has gotten me somewhat suspicious, mentioning werewolf action as apposed to scum in general, and not the first time either. But do you mean there is some sort of delay when scum hits other scum?
Martian's last post, anywhere on Bay12, is:
Sorry for lurking, things were a bit choatic. Yeah, Nuke has a point. My vote is a bit out of date. Unvote.
I must say, Criptfiend is looking the more scummy to me of the cryptfiend/leafsnail exchange. The points has been pretty well covered, the not voting for obvscum with a time limit and so on.
Even if he's signed on to the forums since then, there is no proof that he was active in any way. However, without an inactive accomplice, the whole theory falls apart.
So, time for a new line of investigation. Leafsnail, D1 you voted Martian and then switched to criptfeind within a few posts. Shortly afterward Martian voted criptfeind as well, and both of you stuck with him to the end of the day. I think you two are a pair, but are you mason, mafia or werewolf?
I think you didn't have any serious scum suspicions D1, and would have offed Webadict, Pandarsenic, Jokerman, or Glyphgryph in order to get rid of your only serious competition. Since Web and Pandar had already asked to sub out and GlyphGryph was looking iffy for participation, Jokerman is the logical choice for your kill. That makes you mafia. N2, though, you kill Toaster. I'd have expected Eduren or GlyphGryph. Why Toaster? I think I have an answer. While doing a vote analysis, I found something interesting. D1, Toaster RVed Pimpson, the switched to Jokerman. Pimpson voted Toaster, then switched to me. Then on D2 Toaster voted criptfeind never switched, while Diablous voted cript at the last minute. Since this was before Toaster and GlyphGryph flipped monk, I think you saw a pairing here. A scum pairing, since Diablous pretty much hammered cript unnecessarily.
Leafsnail and
Martian - You are mafia.
