I'm going to do a comprehensive analysis of everyone involved in the game so far and I know what you're thinking, you're thinking "Ix, it's far too early in the game to try to draw such conclusions given that we have only had one day (in terms of real time) of play." But no, I assure you that if you know what you are doing even the Random Voting Stage is a catalogue of clues and of subtle signs from which you can learn a lot about the other participants.
1. Paranoia - While it would appear that Paranoia is behaving in a manner that some would describe as silly what I feel is that they are simply trying to obfuscate their true intentions by decorating their posts with different colours and thus detract from any actual content that may be in these posts. This is clearly scummy behaviour. I have also noticed that they have a tendency to overuse the word bro, this is a clear scum tactic, they are trying to force a friendly relation with us and make us see them as less of a threat. Paranoia is clearly obvious scum. Furthermore I'd like to suggest that anyone behaving in a silly manner (i.e. one not conducive to this scumhunt) is clearly mafia scum that we should lynch immediately.
2. Solaris - Sol is the definitive example of acting silly to try to draw attention away from the serious business of hunting for mafia and so he is clearly a member of the mafia who we must lynch at our first opportunity.
4. Sanzh - The very first thing that Sanzh did in this game of mafia is complain that it might be serious. This is a very obvious sign that he doesn't care for the scumhunt, but we cannot discount the possibility that he is doing this because he has seen other individuals, such as Solaris and Paranoia who are behaving in a silly manner and he has sought to ingratiate himself upon them by complaining about all us serious scumhunters. Either way this is pretty scummy behaviour as it is, but I would also like to draw your attention to the fact that the other things he says are more or less along the lines of 'i don't know what i am doing' which as we all know is a common strategy for scum, to disguise their scummy behaviour as the behaviour of a noob. Long story short, he's definitely scum and we should lynch him right now.
6. Seedy - Seedy's first action is to post a nicely drawn picture which features other users avatars, this is clearly a tactic to avoid posting anything of any content, to once again ingratiate herself to everyone whom she drew the avatar of (perhaps there is something to be looked at from that perspective) and to be notable. For those who are unfamiliar to the game perhaps they might want to avoid great walls of text because they are offputting but skimming through the posts you would always stop and notice this picture and it would leave with you a positive impression of the person who posted it. There are so many scum prongs to this one nefarious plan that I think we should hurry up and lynch her right now.
7. Schazer - Schazer has posted only once and that post was completely devoid of any scumhunting content instead making excuses as to why she hasn't been here and why she might continue not to be here. Lurking is a very common scum tactic as it's easy to get caught up in some scumtell you have spotted and forget about the quiet ones, relying on townies to make mistakes so that they might cruise through. Obvious scum we should lynch her immediately.
8. Anacreon - I am extremely suspicious. I think that there are many arguments to be made for whether or not someone would claim to be a miller as scum and my instinct tells me that you wouldn't generally do so unless you were already under suspicion, as simply claiming it is guaranteed to bring a good amount of suspicion your way. I feel that perhaps this tactic is better suited to when you believe that you will be investigated later and I don't believe that Anacreon had done enough to be considered for investigation which leads me to believe that they are planning to do something that could look scummy and thus they are attempting to pre-emptively waylay that suspicion. Most likely scum, should be lynched immediately.
9. Luneix - Voting for no lynch is rarely advantageous for town and especially not on day one, and especially not as early in the day as that vote was made. It was still the RVS and this vote just seems out of place. Its possible that this is an innocent mistake but I theorize it is much more likely a scum ploy designed to lull us into a false sense of security before they strike. As such we should lynch Luneix immediately to prevent whatever plot they have from coming to fruition.
10. CuttlefishCuller - Not willing to throw down a joke vote in the RVS likely didn't want their joke vote analyzed at a later date. A scum will typically try to give you as little information as possible and this could be what happened there. Relatively frequent posts but all of little content or value, hoping that we don't forget their existence and think they are lurking scum but aiming to bring as little to the table as is possible. Clear scum, we should lynch them this very second.
11. Namboto - attributes their first vote to the roll of a dice so as to make sure that it cannot be analyzed later when more information is available. Notes the potentially scummy interactions between Tea and Guy and yet chooses to vote instead for someone else who was clearly indulging in RVS humour in the one post that they had posted to that point. Can you say easy target. Obviously scum, should be lynched right now. Should have been lynched already if you ask me, but whatever.
12. Mirdini - starts off making excuses as to why they will not be present very much (everyone knows true townies do nothing other than sit in front of their computer frantically refreshing and doing in depths analysis of everything that has gone on so far). Also he and Solaris failed to engage in their vote for one another in the RVS tradition which suggests that perhaps he has been given a more important task that he must carry out. Though of course does not conclusively indicate scum it is a clear factor and taken into consideration with the token scumhunting and the silly gif of a bear it is obvious that he is scum. A priority to lynch.
13. Seastormjt - One post in the RVS and never to be seen again. Clear lurking scum, lynch them now while they think they are safe.
14. Palamedes - Palamedes is making efforts to appear town, he's like going around asking everyone what they would prefer in this situation and that and while that's all very good I think a real townie would be offering up opinions of their own volition rather than making posts which are thought provoking but not substantive in of themselves. Most apparently scum. Lynch promptly.
15. AbsoluteCertainty - initially appeared to be on some sort of crusade against Tea voting to lynch them no matter what action they took. This in itself is not scummy I suspect it ties in with those bonus objectives we all have but when we add it to the fact that their later posts seem to be short on content it is clear that they are definitely mafia. I support a lynch post haste.
16. CuriousCat - Another no lynch vote. I would repeat my argument as to why this is a clear and present scumtell but for fear of sounding redundant. The point still stands that they are scum and they need lynching asap.
17. MrGuy - Trying to find reasons to find people scummy while still in the RVS is a deplorable scum technique. Done carefully it can make a vote seem more serious than it was and force the topic of conversation for the rest of the day, though I wouldn't say it was entirely successful here, as a number of others were able to spot this blatant technique and call him out on it. We should lynch now while we still have the chance.
18. Agent1022 - shows up late, echoes the suspicions of others but is unwilling to place a vote, returns only to talk about things irrelevant to the actual scumhunt and give Seedy another opportunity to curry favour with the people. A more obvious scum I have never seen. Lynch them right now.
19. Killer Cuppa Tea - Tea's initial vote is of little consequence being a product of RVS whimsy but his response to someone trying to earnestly make sense of such a vote is to call them out for trying to analyze what has happened so far and hunt some scums and then to put a vote on them. Voting for someone because they are trying to hunt scum is honestly the most flagrant display of scumliness I have ever had the misfortune to happen across. Total scum, lets lynch them.
20. Mr. Visceral - He remains vague in his posts pointing out things that are common sense or just generally saying that he doesn't really know what to think one way or another. It's a way of seeming active without any contribution and tellingly scum. We should lynch him immediately.
And that concludes the list of players, well except for you and me, obviously, but then you are so obviously town, right? I mean you are analyzing and making long posts and prompting others to share their opinions. I mean obviously you're town. You're like the King of Town. Unless of course it's the most dedicated scum gambit ever made. How better to seem town than to do all the townliest things you can and disregard your overarching goal. It seems unlikely I agree but it's that incredible unlikeliness that makes me think it is the perfect scheme. You my friend konec0 are the scumliest of us all.
That is pretty much the reason that the only vote I can conscionably make in this crazy game is All of You, because as I have incontravertably demonstrated you are all mafia. My vote stands.
