Let's just review their remarks:

Fanatic-Templar - 7
1. I stand ready.NM
2. Rules are made to be broken. NM
3. Sure. Last time he lost was game 29. NM
4. Yes, No, No. NM
5. Yeah, my name's a real one too, just not logically related to anything in the game. NM
6. Correlation does not equal causation . NM
7. I do...
... Isaac openly set out to not lynch townies two days in a row (first with an unfounded vigilante hunt, then with a no-lynch proposal) and I was a cop with a guilty verdict on him, and it still took an eternity to finally shove him off this mortal coil.
Wordcount: 92

So 6 NM messages, 1 short non-NM, only 1, 4, and 5 are about the current game.

Ranagrande - 6
1. So, where to begin? NM
2.Vote: Hobo
A confession on day 1!
Eh, maybe I'll come back to that.
Unvote
3. I'm joining the RBIRL train
I'll be gone from Friday to Monday.
4. Yes, No, No. NM
5. Now that you mention it, appearance might indeed be useful.
Were you told anything at all about your character's appearance? I was not.
6. No, his plan was actually pretty good.
He talked with Kronin about it right after his lynch. He thought it would allow him to draw out and identify scum. It worked too; he correctly identified you, and I think Yuna too in his note to Kronin. His plan would have worked perfectly, but everyone jumped on the bus and lynched him before he had a chance to explain. I knew something like that was going on too. I tried to convince people to hold off, but no one listened. That game was my first loss.
Wordcount: 137

So #1 is the same "I'm here" most did, 2 is, I assume, a joke-vote, 3 a RBIRL posts, 4 answers the question trio I posed, 5 is proposing another question, and the last is him BSing with me about Game 15.

Yunalesca - 6
1. Present! NM
2. I loled NM
3. RBIRL from Tuesday to Sunday
Will be in Edinburgh with very limited internets.
4. Yes, No, No NM

6. I posted I was back.... NLRBIRL NM
Wordcount: 28
Fairly straightforward from Lucy, I'm here, PErcy's joke was funny, I'm gone, I'm back real quick to answer the question, I'm back and caught up, and I popped in while RBIRL.

Taiga - 5
1. Present NM
2. apparently we got no fancy fantasy theme, but straight Mafia NM
3. it was probably Isaac but in the end he'll win the game NM
4. Yes, No, No
My character name is a real life name among others I'm a real life artist and physicist I take it this is coincidence for now unless it's one of Berg's friends
5. would be nice if one player answered Yes, Yes. Yes now: Lie = lynch NM
Wordcount: 70
Even more straightforward, 4 out of 5 are NM, which answers a question.

Beet - 4
1. Eh, Let's just go. IT WAS YOU THAT DID IT, WASN'T IT NM
2. (here) NM
3. Yes, No No NM

Players by post # and Wordcount
Fanatic-Templar - 7/92
ranagrande - 6/137
Yunalesca - 6/28
Taiga - 5/70
Beet - 4/24

So Rana and FT stand out as having more posts and words, though one should note that both have almost all that wordcount is talking about previous games. Total wordcount for all 5 is 351, and to give an idea here, my last post, the one I'm replying to, is 687 words long and this one just discussing their remarks is, in the current draft and up to this point, 666 words including their 351, or 315 words of my own, now 328. Meaning, when this sentence is done, I will have spent more words discussing what these five players have said in total just in this post then they themselves actually wrote, 359. Albeit I'm a bad standard candle, me and brevity get along like a house on fire.

So, review the remarks and ask who has been pushing the game forward, or making an effort to, successful or not, who had good reasons (prior announced RBIRL etc) for not being very talkative, etc. At this point in time though I favor lynching one of these players and I think we should expect them to show why it shouldn't be them or should be another, either on the list or not. This is too big a list as stands though for RC claims and comparison, unless we can narrow it down to 3, or preferably 2, first.

So my questions now, and I want everyone to weigh in.

1) Who if any should be on that list who isn't?
2) Who is on that list that shouldn't be?
3) If you're on that list, why shouldn't you be?
