@mod, I believe my vote is on spellcasters as of post #62.
The below is from post #117 onwards, where RVS ended per my declaration. It does not include post #116.
This data mining will continue for some time. I'm interested in what we learn from it. Ignore it if you will, but at the very least use it to see who is hiding under the radar and who someone is
really interested in.
Things I'm looking at:
Who people reference (directly or indirectly)
who people proclaim as scummy or town (directly or indirectly)
Who people vote for
When I say "reference", this includes replying to someone's question or asking them a question, responding to a statement they've made, commenting on that player, etc. It's a very loose concept here and expect these numbers to be inflated, although if someone simply says "OS" three times in one post it'll still only count as one.
When I say "proclaim scummy or town", this is not as loose a concept and this should be taken more seriously.
When I say vote, I mean only voting for someone; not unvoting. You guys can keep track of that yourself.
For those playing the home game, this is more a less three tiers of the same idea. Those you reference you don't necessarily have a strong opinion on, those you proclaim scummy or town you may have an opinion on but not necessarily a case, and those you vote for you should have your strongest read on.
Scum often can blend in because they do the above three out of sequence. They'll vote for someone before they have an actual case, force them to defend themselves, and THEN proclaim them as scummy based off their defense. Scum can often set up bad lynches by planting seeds of distrust as well; constantly calling someone into question on a repeated basis or asking them pointed questions can lower the opinion of that player to the rest of town, ultimately leading in other people pushing a lynch. And, as always, scum can often blend in by simply not pursuing people but rather constantly feeling the waters and referencing many but not taking hard stances and going towards the path of least resistance.
If you see someone who is directly avoiding others, take note. If you see a discrepancy in their voting patterns in comparison to their proclaimed "town or scum" notions of other players, take note. If you see someone consistently referencing another player but not pursuing them aggressively, take note.
If you see everyone else fitting the mold (like referencing RRyu claiming DCop) but someone else completely avoiding it in all their posts, take note. If you notice that someone has only made a passing reference to another player and not done anything else, look into it.
I'll happily let scum attempt to juggle this.
Keep in mind by the way, I'm not interpreting posts. So sarcasm is lost on graphs.
Anyway, here's what we have so far:
Calls Scummy:
Calls town:
Votes:
References (take note of the empty boxes):
References in graph form for you visual people:
Points I'd like addressed, other than people filling in the blank spaces on that excel sheet.
Waitwaitwait. Ryu wasn't bull****ting the daycop claim? Well that's...not at all what I was expecting.
Ryu, nameclaim please.
Werekill, get the hell in here.
Errbody stop voting for Werekill until we get a votecount. We're not hammering anyone yet, regardless of what anyone claims to "know" right now.
In the meantime, catching up.
Frio, IGMEOY so hard.
What prompted you to say "Wait, Ryu wasn't bsing about the daycop claim"?
only once, in oddworld, as far as I remember. That was 1 year ago.
I haven't seen him since the game started because he works for me all day Friday-Sunday. I've been operating solo since the game started. I haven't hydra'd since that oddworld game, so I just remembered how fun it was to sit together for a few hours and reread the thread and bounce reads off of each other.

xatres is my younger brother. not sure if that's common knowledge. during oddworld, he actually lived in my house. he's got his own place now, but still works for me.

ANOTHER RICE?!
Tell him I'm sorry about Megaman. :B
Post #236 is John posting how many times people have posted in roman numerals. This is prior to posting his reads, which he has been asked for. Someone daykill him?

Also, regarding my vote: I don't intend to place it until I have a solid scum read. After MMX, I've decided it's in my interest to not be as loose with my vote.
Good, you've learned! Being loose with your vote creates a trail that may be true or false, but either way can be openly interpreted. If it makes you feel any better, you were more a victim of circumstance and that was the short straw you created for yourself.

Raziek is a player I have trouble figuring out. His posts consistently appear scummy to me, and in this game in particular he's only spoken when spoken to. I can't get inside his head. Aside from RE4 I can't think of any time I haven't thought he was scum and had him actually be town.
It's the avatar.
Personal notes and guesses:
J and Xastrn isn't S/S
More will occur later. Interpret the above as you will.
vote: Solid
