There's no one for me to engage, Hat, I have no leads. Who is there to FoS? I have town reads on two people, prof and spurge. I also think Clyde is town at this point.

I am seconding padib's post. I am playing calmly day one because I have no actual leads and I am busy. I've done so for two games now. I need information before I push anyone as scum.

The fact that your compiling data based on who is participating and who is not is quite iffy, however. Since when does less participation or interaction on day one point to scum? I'll wait to see what happens on day 2 before I automatically assume anything. Sounds like maybe you're trying to participate to a great degree to wipe yourself free of suspicion.

Why do you think prof and spurge are town?

Prof acting super shady!

Prof most likely just wants to lay low so that scum forget to kill him night 1.

You're right.  It's not just scum that lurk.  It's scum and garbage players.  Scummy players, who may or may not be actual scum.

I agree with FFs conjecture mostly, but not necessarily on how it points out people succeeding flying under the radar. (succeeding in flying under the radar would be if people somehow forget that a person is actually playing)

Clyde was spot on when he identified the thought I was trying to convey as along the lines of "the lurkers who you don't realize are lurking".

If I'm a garbage player for not getting any reads day one, so be it. I don't see anyone acting overtly suspicious, though Hat's focus on players who simply haven't posted much is just iffy. I feel he's just looking for an easy lynch.

Prof hasn't been acting overtly shady. Why do you think he is?

Trucks is the only one I haven't seen post much.

@Trucks, thoughts?

STEHHHP RAYGHT UHP LUURKERS!!! This attraction is bought to you by hatmoza and it's sure to bring out the lurkers ah squirming!

Padib and Blade's responses put both of them high on the sum list now.

Clyde was very careful with his answer or is simply town based on his reaction.

The only lurker left to respond based on data is Trucks.

I haven't really seen much of your reasoning as to why this suddenly makes us scum? Like I said, I think you're fishing for an easy lynch.

This game is a bit different because we have to be careful how we apply pressure. From my experience, not a lot happens on Day 1 unless some gets caught under a few votes and everyone chimes in on it. This helps by not only getting everyone active on things that are useful, but it shows how the accused acts under pressure. It also gets people debating with each other which is where a slip most likely occurs. In this game we have to be very careful who we vote for because we cannot unvote.

It's hard for me to find an angle when there's really nothing happening. Right now I believe that a no lynch would be the best option for the day until we can get a decent lead going.

I like how padib thinks he can call out people for not posting enough.

Wow, It seems that you had a lot of activity while I was sleping. Nice analysis there, Hatmoza, by the way.

I will ask a couple of questions to some players, since I have to work almost all day, and I won't be able to even lurk properly.

-Hatmoza and Stefl, if you hadn't used your three votes, who would you vote against?
-FinalFan, why are you so angry with Spurge? (I'm still rreading the posts, but an abridged version would do nicely).
-Hatmoza, what is up with the "Noctis has schizophrenia" post? XD And what is your opinion about it, Noctis? It seems a very weird post, I can't seem to grasp what it's purpose could be in the game.
-Trucks, are you still here? Your last post was more than 24 hours ago. Give us a sign.
