Spooks, Day 1-7.

[Blip]

This is embarrassing. It's Day 5 ffs.

Least Townish
witticism
Redial
Magicziggy
Sifaka
Timinane

I've just reread the entire game through again and I'd say that the least townish to me (in no particular order) are:

Sifaka
DP
Timinane
Witticism

I was struck by this comment from Virphen early on: "I'm suspicious both Animavore and DP. They are famous for whacking each other. So it makes sense that a criminal team without them would whack one or the other, in order to get the mob to go after the survivor.

It's highly likely one of Animavore or DP is scum."

That was Tuesday and both are still in the game. I cannot be sure, but I do know that Ani always plays this way.

I simply do not know what to make of Magicziggy: she could be evil or she could just be inexperienced. Witticism hasn't participated much at all and that's not like him but given that I'm putting up my voting analyses, it's very odd that he doesn't just make a random vote if he's evil. On the other hand...

As Higgs2's list was Witticism; Animavore; DP (and Redial as well as Meph) and I agree she could well have been whacked because she was onto something, there are some agreements emerging here. What do others think?

[EDIT: I have cross-posted and seen Redial's news. I can imagine just how worried you are, hun, but try to keep positive and let us know how you get on.]

[oblivion]

Right now, I'm leaning toward either witticism or Timinane. I'm feeling kind of dumb for not picking up on Tim earlier tbh. But the mantisdreamz vote today got my attention.

This Animavore/DP thing doesn't make a lot of sense to me, but I guess I just lack the context since I haven't played much at ratz, and not at all at ratskep or dawkins.

[Magicziggy]

Vote Witticism

It's a gut feeling. If you want a voting block, I'll look back in three hours.

Quote from Ani on day 1
"BAA's case is airtight."

Not quite sure what that was based on.

[Blip]

I'm not seeing a lot of signs of collusion in the make-up of the successful lynch bandwagons. Maybe Blip has found something, though.

There is this...

Sifaka and DP have voted the same on each day, which is no vote; Charlou; no vote; Mephistopheles. Sifaka voted first for Charlou; DP voted first for Meph. Their post counts are:

Sifaka 1, 3, 0, 1
DP 1, 10, 2, 3

I have reflected and DP's style of play is certainly like his play when he was mafia don in the last RatSkep game I played before my holiday. I believe I'm right in saying that he's Vorian over there? Please someone correct me if this last assumption is wrong.

As for Timinane, he voted for Virphen; no vote; Magicziggy; Magicziggy before Mantis today. His post count is 3, 0, 1, 1. Witticism voted Skinny Puppy; no vote; no vote; no vote and his post count is 1, 0, 1, 2

I don't play at ratskep, so I have no idea on who DP is or how he played there. Anyone else in this game able to comment?

Nice catch on the Sifaka/DP vote similarities. They both tend to vote late in the game when the bandwagons are already established, which may lead to some similarities.

[Timinane]

My thought processes are simple and since Ziggy keeps surviving I thought I'd try mantis this time round since their lynching patterns have been similar to Ziggy's

Since I go to bed at this time and don't wake up until round end we shall see if entering this game was a big mistake for me.

[Uselesstwit]

So people are thinking that magicziggy is innocent and just the worst guesser in the world? What you're saying is that scum wouldn't be so obvious about getting on a bandwagon they knew were innocent every day. For now I guess I can go with that, 100% innocent lynch rate probably is more likely from a new innocent than a new scum.

I'm liking Blip more and more as town, I don't see scum giving us all this info everyday.(unless this is how she always plays and has no choice)
Oblivion is also a possible town, but you can really see the experience there so she really could be playing us.
animavore's technical troubles have lead to such a drastic change in play style that it is making me worried.
Mantis, just seems like a follower, I guess that would be a good act for a scum, but personally it seems more like an unconfident innocent.

Pesonnally I think the most likely to be scum, are our hideways.
I'd be very surprised is at least one of the group of:

Sifaka
DP
witti
timinane

weren't scum and maybe two of them. So for right now I'm going to follow higgs dying thought and go with
vote witti

[Uselesstwit]

Redial,

I hope your tests come back all good and that your treatment is a success.

[Magicziggy]

I knew we should've gone for ziggy

You want town to vote me out to save you the work,

uselesstwit: i would put you in with ani.
your above post seems to be a diversion. No mention of ani. The lynch mob for me did not eventuate so let's follow magicziggy on another winner. Only 4 or 5 votes needed. Wait until I'm going to bed and follow my vote.

Ani and Useless are scum.
I've been known to be wrong!

unvote witticism
vote uselesstwit

[Uselesstwit]

reread there magic, he's right below oblivion.

[Uselesstwit]

My last comment was to point magic toward where I talked about animavore. Once again I didn't make the post as clear as it should have been.

[Animavore]

At this rate we'll end up with fractured votes again. We need to keep it tight.

[Magicziggy]

Its a timing thing. It's late here. I've got a footy game to umpire at 8am!
I have no confidence. Tell me what to do.

[Uselesstwit]

I agree with you there ani, but I have to leave for work and there isn't a block formed yet.

[oblivion]
