The pattern isn't "no pattern," Zathras. I choose things that are symbolically or structurally interesting. As you may be able to tell, I'm a bit of a romantic. "Potted plant" was an inside joke with myself; I happen to think they're kind of funny. I liked the image of the roses and the clean symmetry of "elegance and clarity."
Well, anyway. Enough rolespec.
Personally, I think that the Webadict will raise whoever he thinks will be least likely to implicate him. We will obviously know who he chose and why that player is suddenly alive, so his only real option is to try to pin the thing on someone else... i.e., anyone he raises will really be functionally useless in terms of forcing information on one individual or another.
Resurrecting good scumhunters is also not going to work well, since no one will listen to their allegations. That leaves us with people who will be useful in the cultchat, to look at what's going on in-thread and help figure out how to escape tight spots. Since a new player probably really needs that help and a more experienced one will thrive on the WIFOM, it seems that would be the dominant strategy in this situation.
I'm not sure if I think Toaster is the Webadict. What I think is that he's some brand of scummy failure who has done nothing to make me want to remove my vote. Though the bit about MBP seems legit enough, I'm left wondering how Toaster's analysis has suddenly popped up now, when it is convenient for it to appear. Looks like he just wanted to talk about who might be the Webadict without actually doing any work... creating a smokescreen, as it were.
Toaster, who is scum other than MBP? I want at least two names and plenty of reasons.
Hrm.
Breadbocks, who do you think is mafia, who do you think is town, and why?
