Currently, I've voted for ranagrande. But rana's list has altered things a bit- a bunch of *NM* messages or messages about snow really shouldn't be weighted the same as actual analysis. Post count is a consideration, but I'd also say that I'm also considering who has added to the conversation.


For instance, Hobo has an extremely low post count, both by my and ranagrande's counts. However, Hobo asked the "who talked in the intro" question. He also interrogated Isaac a bit.

Ranagrande has an extremely low post count. However, he pointed out the (supposed) problems with the Lie Detector stuff, and he seems to be more active now.

Bergioyn- low post count (tied for third lowest and second lowest in the lists), a lot of posts have been of the "so, what does everyone else want to do?" variety, or just short answers of others' questions.


Fanatic-Templar: Second-least in F&R's list, tied for second least in mine. Really, the only thing making me reluctant to vote for him is because he seems to be the one who keeps bringing up lynching the lowest posters, despite being very aware how much lurking he's done this game.


So... honestly, I really want to lynch F-T now. I mean, come on! He's been uncharacteristically quiet this game, and his few posts haven't really added anything (sorry FT, but it's true... remember that "uncharacteristically" means you're usually great)

However, the few posts of his that HAVE been helpful have all been about how we should lynch low posters... something a Mafia who was trying to lurk would not try to push on us. (See also a comment I made a few days ago- FT was exuberant about his character, while Mafia would probably want to keep a lower profile.


So, Unvote
Vote: Bergioyn

Basically, Hobo and ranagrande, while they need to step up the posting, have been at least a little proactive. Fanatic-Templar's main contribution has been to suggest we lynch the lowest poster, which combined with the general vibe I've gotten so far, makes me think he's not Mafia (since he seemed to be pretty aware of what a low poster he was). Bergioyn has a low post count, and hasn't been particularly proactive.

Blademaster is in mostly the same boat as Berg, but I'm giving him a Day One newbie-pass. (On a semi-related note, Nice Job on the high post count ?)


So, yeah. Bergioyn. It's down to you and FT in my mind, and FT has gained the benefit of my gut (for today, anyway).



(and since I feel a bit of an ass for pronouncing judgments on how helpful everyone has been, please know that it's nothing personal- this group in general is generally excellent)
