Okay people, I will do this in a strange way, and god I never want to go through that many pages at once for a single post again. I will pretend to answer each question, after it was made, as in I will only use things that I would have actually realised at the time(ergo, I won't answer a page 17 question with something I saw on page 18) though if this are important retroactively they will be added, basically I'm emulating being actually active, poor replacement but best I can do.
First, I have yet to reply to his question on the top 3 scum reads of mine. Honestly, while I was looking up cases of SL being hypocritical(is that the word?) I forgot about that one.(My memory, like cheese, full of holes) So at that point in time I would have replied: Obviously SL himself is number 1, my opinion hasn't changed on that at that point yet, and I have stated plenty of times why that's my opinion, and won't waste time to repeat it. Now the other two are pretty much tied, similar reasonings. I also have at the time recently posted why I suspect shinyskarmory, as for the other, it is another because of a vote case. In a previous post I have pointed at metal sonic bandwagoners to be later looked at once SL was dealt with(when SL was still being lynched), IC turned out to be Sane since then, but that honestly doesn't help the other guy, Eagle. Honestly as much as people reason for following SL's bandwagon, it was mostly because Metal Sonic's multiposts. I can somewhat understand why the less active IC would fall into following the wagon, but Eagle even if new, should have been active enough to not jump onto it like that. I have two theories on why he'd do it as a mafia, to protect SL his buddy after he saw a villager also joined the MS vote or to seem cleaner if the at that point likely SL lynch did happen. Naturally these theories are just my opinion, but I guessed I should share why I think the vote is off.
Now we jump to a later post, it's shinyskarmory's post on asking Spiffy what his mafia strat would be. This seems like a waste of space, especially after posting sorry he was inactive(not trying to be hypocritical here, just saying I'd expect at least something not filler after such a thing, I know I delayed posting this multiple times, but it is no pointless filler question). It honestly seems very similar as to when he voted no lynch, being pressured into posting something to appear less suspicious. At this point I'd state he jumped to position two of my previously mentioned top 3 list.
Next Spiffy asks who I think is more suspicious from zorbees, Eagle4, and More Cowbell and why. In all honesty this question would exist if I was more active or at least would have a different set of names, if you wish spiffy you can make changes to that list and I will answer that one too, but to this it's clearly Eagle as I explained above.
Right after Spiffy's post More Cowbell posts about having a hard time posting without repeating what has already been said. I'd have posted to this that I very much agree(and as you can see later with Spiffy linking that one past smogon NOC I subbed into, I have made this point in the past already) to this notions, this is not a pc+++ game, I like to collect my thoughts and not repeat things unless i can add something new orrrrrrr if I want to vote, even if repeating things, I got voice my opinion when voting. And I'd make a joke like a comment on how I find More Cowbell the most trustworthy because he thinks like me for one thing(which honestly if he makes one off thing it makes me suspect him faaaaar more, I wouldn't trust some who thinks like me at all...)
And shinyskarmory continues to baffle me with asking the same stupid question in a different way. It feels very much like trying to correct himself for his question to feel less scummy, maybe a buddy telling him to do so? Honestly at this point I may as well have changed my vote to him(but I will refrain from posting any votes till I finish with this, since I might end up changing my vote multiple times lol)
Then Eagle decides to go after me, man do my suspects love me or what, and I haven't actually made it clear he was one, is he reading my mind... Jokes aside, he doubts my inactivity. Well for the matter of fact, lets check my times. My first couple of posts on 14th were all made before midnight my time, that's already fairly late, though I do tend to stay up longer(just my brain generally isn't in the state where it can make rational decisions, for a good example, see vonFiedler's signature, unless he changed it) but that time I just watch TV or videos into sleep, or if it's friday or saturday I have Pathfinder stuff. For most of the better time, from morning till night my time there is barely any non metal sonic activity. Activity on the 14th also went on for at least 5 hours after I left, and there were a few posts even after that, so for a good part of it, I was unable to be around.
He also makes "Currently active users viewing this thread" point. No idea how that works, but when I'm online I generally have the thread open, especially on mentioned Fridays and Saturdays I will be active, but unable to post(and hellishly tired afterwards).
His next point about me not posting my top 3 scum yet is completely fair, but already explained above, yeah I'm forgetful. As for his questions on what I think off the users he listed:
Honestly at that point my opinion didn't change on either SL or SS yet, and I have made a few reactions to SS already while SL did nothing mention worthy till this post(eagle asking me that is) and my last about him.
For Metal Sonic, I find him a hyperactive newbie frustrated by his bad timezone, didn't give much yet that I could find mistakes in honestly, I'd love a longer post from him.(I'm making this as I go so no freaking idea if he actually did one of those already!)
aska had not much on day 1 minus the very short bout vs jalmont, and honestly both were fairly inactive day 1(who am I to talk...) so from then I have nothing, and I see no slips for day 2 either, I can honestly see why as a villager he might think those(general comment though, honestly I can say that about 90% of the cases, I will not question opinions that don't attack me or seem completely wrong, because there might be merit in them).
With the end of Eagle's post, shinyskarmory decides to answer eagle's questions and says that I have been fairly conservative and only really went after him. Not post worthy on it's own, but in what ever post I'd have made after that one, I'd have added a "yes I have been conservative, but may I point out that I have been just as much or even more hounding SL" comment. SL comments on my missing read, amended above already, forgetful etc. skip
Spiffy points out I have been in a game already, if I was there I would have done it myself, and also he wouldn't have had to link it later, and having wasted 20 mins looking for my mafiascum game(the other one I got subbed still in day 1 due to inactivity, I started it while I was still paralysed from a viral infection in my spinal cord, and only did because I had so much free time but I grow bored of it quickly, well honestly I think I forgot I was playing actually, too many MRIs I bet). So yeah
here is the relevant game, not that it matters it was in 2008.
Done with time wasting, back to the main thing. Well the next thing is my top two suspects throwing mud at each other, erm I honestly can't say that that makes them more suspicious, but it makes me want to get rid of both more... Obstructing(that's the right word?) the game with pointless aggression, make a civilised discussion please. Though SL does continue his usual deal of hypocrisy. One thing I can say though, if those two are actually mafia buddies, SS and SL are the best actors on earth... Speaking SS, he finally learns nothing can be better than pointlessly scummy questions, by posting he won't post if he has nothing to say.(He either learned the reason or just wants to stop the pointless mud slinging, I'm leaning towards the latter)
And SS returns to his old business of asking pointless questions, also known as WIFOM. Ye olde example of did I swap the glasses before you choose which one to drink or not, in a more complicated version. Honestly, considering how many off things in my opinion at least SS did this isn't a hard decision to make.
Unvote Vote shinyskarmory
Though it does appear we are offing Eagle, which I'm hardly against since he is after all on my top 3 list(I believe you will have to scroll to the top of my post lol) but unlike SS he hasn't added much to my reasoning since then. Though he did constantly attack me for inactivity, but I'm honestly more surprised no one else is, is everyone really that okay with my inactivity? Other than spiffy, which honestly was in the very early stages, I didn't see much. Sure I'm being hypocritical here, since I keep focusing on single targets too(because I believe I'm exploring the targets from a different angle than others, and I consider that a helpful addition), but I think some people are getting a bad case of tunnel vision around here.
