Okay, so I decided to make a reference spreadsheet of all known flavor, on one hand because I am bored, on the other so that I could feel like I'm contributing to this all somehow, despite my dual handicaps of not being able to process things logically or tell when I shouldn't trust someone. It's not very helpful, especially since it looks like we're killing off RP because sniping at one another and arguing is clearly preferable to fluff.
The only conclusion I can hope to draw from it all is that, hey, there's at least two Non-Fiction authors! Maybe — maybe something's up with that? That could be a scum team, or a — a town team? Is that a thing? If it is I'd guess it's more likely that, since, you know, I wouldn't call murder mysteries non-fiction... then again, if they actually DO commit the murders? Nah, even then, that's more prophecy. Maybe if someone showed up when Robert spilled the tea leaves and started reading them we'd have a finger to point. I'd remove Akumu and Gnauga (and no future claimants, you'd have had your shot) from my personal suspicion — but that's IF they weren't lying about their flavor, which is such a big "if" in this game that, no matter how hard Akumu sold their genre, I can't justify that. So, yeah, useless!
Regarding mining from my flip like a Bitcoin junkie, yeah, I don't see how that would tell you anything useful, even when I pretend that I'm not me. Like seedy says, I spend so much time fucking around that anything I have done in the game up to this point can be pinned down far less on either possible alignment and more on characteristic erratic behavior. Hell, half the reason I voted for eberron (the half that doesn't quite work for an in-character explanation) was because I thought "Yeah, let's lynch that old lady!" was a funny sentence. There's so much noise to signal it's like I'm invisible. But hey, prove me wrong, show me a Choose Your Own Adventure where if I'm scum then we can turn to page 8 and tell x, y, and z are true and if I'm town then we can turn to page 7 and a, b, c.
(I wonder if anybody has a Choose Your Own Adventure quirk, and if so, why they aren't using it.)
