I've re-read the thread from the start of day 1, and will post opinions on players in the order of which they were gathered. Some people will be left out, as I didn't feel anything said by them was too influential. This isn't necessarily a good thing.
Bolded shit is kind of importantDay 1 impressions:NoHitter:I enjoyed his question approach, and I don't feel his intentions were to deliberately scumpaint. If the theme of the game wasn't "corrupt BATs" then it is possible he could have been on to something. If you'd rather be mafia, you'd definitely pick users in PYP more likely to be anti-town. I can name some people with mafia-like traits to them, so usually with D1 material being so scarce, these question responses would be enough to justify a vote for me. Well played nohitter~
bmin:Your questions, not so much. NoHitter's had apparent reason behind them, yours seem more random. Like I said though, day 1 chatter is usually minimal so I don't really blame you for attempting to start conversation, even if it was arguably off topic.
His reaction to attack didn't really sit well with me, even if in my mind the attacks were somewhat unjustified.
akrolsmir:This post where he calls out bmin was nice, and I got pro-town reads from it. I don't necessarily think speculating about setup is a scumtell, but his post influenced my opinion on bmin a little which is what he was going for.
Wojjan:Attacked like 8 different people day 1. This may be scumtell but Wojjan tends to be more passive when mafia iirc. Kind of neutral at the time I'm writing this sentence.
Rantai:This maaaay be grasping, but it definitely crossed my mind as I was reading
this post:Rantai wrote:
In regards to your questions: viewtopic.php?p=975713#p975713 No change.
Rantai was pro-town in the game he linked, and it seems like him referring to the questions previously answered was a forced attempt at consistent meta. It's not the fact that he didn't want to re-answer the same questions; I don't blame him, but it's
how he responded that alarmed me.
Mashley:The way I'm writing this post is I'm hopping from member to member adding shit to the list. At the time of writing, Mashley is the fifth person to stand out to me and the person giving me the most anti-town reads. Day 1, he has contributed very little of his own opinions. First, he bandwagoned on the "NoHitter is scum" train, third on board. He then rides rust's suggestion that animask's inactivity could be scummy. He was second to unvote, though that doesn't really suggest bandwagonning. I dunno, Mashley is leaning a bit on the anti-town side of the spectrum.
Okay, capping all that shit there. Those are the players that stuck out to me as of day 1. Since a lot of things changed D2, I figured it deserves a separate section.
Day 2 impressions:Chris:I don't like the fact at all that he voiced this information the start of D2. He could have saved it in case any of these members were in jeopardy lynched, or saved it to protect himself from being NKed/roleblocked. With chris's meta, it's safe to say that he's hardly ever a NK candidate. He really had nothing to be afraid of if he didn't post that information. There really isn't any part of me that feels Chris is mafia, however, I want to suggest that
perhaps Chris can be an insane/naive variation of Two/lie detector. Two is in fact wrong a lot, and the brokenness of this role should have been apparent to faceman. I can't consider the fact that faceman/lyby would let this role be as it appears on paper, there has to be something hidden within it.
Suggesting that Chris sends the following statement N2: "Chris is mafia." Opinions?
Two:Lied about his restrictions, zzzz. I'm a firm believer in the LAL policy but it seems he had reasoning. I don't put it past Two to create this whole Q role from scratch, however I feel the likelihood of Q having a part in this game (suggesting Two doesn't hold the role) to be likely, and I know Two knows that as well. I don't think he would risk having somebody counter-claim on him. Protown.
LadySuburu:Interesting claim. I believe we should verify it. Since Chris seems to be confirmed town in most peoples eyes, how about you change his vote to a predetermined player? I'd then like Chris to attempt to change his vote and see if it registers. Should be an easy way to confirm LS as town, assuming you aren't lying.
Rust:This is another post that struck me as odd. The wording just seems.. forced. Bear in mind this is heavily gut-feelingish.

I think we should see how the mafia reacts to his claim before we try to analyze it.
The "we should see how the mafia reacts" bit is just very strange wording. Not only is it an attempt to align himself with town, but it's also suggesting the mafia members are apparent, in a strangely worded kind of way. Zzz, hard to get my point across. I just don't like this post.
Okay, taking a break half way through D2. I'm almost caught up to mass-roleclaim point, which I'm looking forward to analyzing like shit. Another similar textwall will probably come within the next 24 hours.
