I feel bad for the total amount of effort required for poor IHMN to post adequately appropriate pics and GIFs in response to nearly everything, and just how little those pics and GIFs actually compensate for a lack of the ability to speak

I hope he has kickass night powers to compensate for this.
In other news, not a single person with votes on him constitutes one of my top four or five selections to eliminate today. That is disappointing.
(Watch as a majority of them turn out to be scum.)

I'm Most Suspicious Of: Ryanderman, P-Sleazy, greed. I know all three are more talkative than this.

P-Sleazy said in the other thread that he'd be away for awhile, but I think he ought to have gotten back by now/before the whole shebang started. I'll check again.

And just caught up after doing homework.

unvote: IHMN

I'm hoping his power ends up being like, if you talk only in .gifs, you get something awesome, so that if he wants to, he can talk in text.

[rpgdemon]

Oh, by the way, IHMN, start stealing Fenris's response pile. He loves that.

[Geminex]

Snake, remind us again, who are your top five?

[Bard The 5th LW]

unvote: IHMN because that role is too hilarious to not keep around.

[Solid Snake]

I take that back, actually, a few of my top suspects actually do have one vote on them, upon rereading the archives here.

THE LIST:
Bob Dole (active in NPF, not here. Struggles morally with being assigned a 'bad person' role. Could totally see him being activeness due to some conscience thing.)
greed (whether in Egypt or Australia, he's usually more active than he's being here)
Ryanderman (again, usually somewhat more active than this)

Bookie (I hate to agree with Nikose on anything, but this activity feels incredibly different than what I saw from Bookie as Townie postmaster in Homestuck. I'm not sure if he's just learning from his mistakes, or if he feels more confident / assertive because as scum he knows more information about alignment.)

Hawk (Not fond of post #250, wherein he pontificates on power roles, speculates on inactives, and basically makes a complete fluff post that's the perfect kind of post to make if you're scum. "I'm here, just want you to know I'm here, here are my thoughts on potential town power roles, I'll just toss out a couple aimless hypotheticals and then retreat for a bit.")

RPGDemon (This is just such a different iteration of him from Homestuck Mafia; almost like Bookie, you can claim he's smarter, more confident, more self-aware, less paranoid. Maybe it's because he has a game under his belt. But I don't like it.)

Oron (Active early, active when -- perhaps half-jokingly -- accused, inactive now. This is a common scum tactic, be just active enough early on to avoid any attention due to inactivity, then evade and let Town waste time shooting each other while you enjoy the obscurity. To a certain extent this also applies to Ramary, I guess?)

The first three are in the category of "inactive and should be active more," and I'll probably loosen up on them if they start posting here unless they start responding only after pressure's put on them, because that's clearly scummy. Still, they should be more active. I'm actually more willing to give Fawful and Julford passes because they are legitimately not-on-NPF-inactive, which means it's just a statistical crapshoot as to what their roles are as they probably haven't even seen their roles, and in fact the odds favor them being Townies.

But I think Cult Leaders even moreso than Mafia feel the urge to be inactive or barely-active D1, they just want to escape attention long enough to get their Cult started.

I don't think I'd necessarily oppose a Sifright lynch if it came down to that, but I'm not really gung-ho about the prospect either. I'm not sure how comfortable I feel with Karesh either, if only because, as noted by someone else already, his interactions when claiming Fluttershy had an aura of artificiality about them.

(And it was fairly stupid of Karesh IMO to reveal to Sifright that he was Fluttershy before forcing Sifright's hand with the prediction. Forcing Sifright to make the prediction and then confirming the prediction would have basically tied both together neatly...both are scum and lying, or both are town and telling the truth.)

[Solid Snake]

Right now Fenris is laughing hysterically at the fact that I've gone like 0 for 7 there. Like I can just envision him with his stupid trombone, smirking away like some gleeful man-child.

Well fuck you, Fenris, I've made this game awesome! Look at all the activity! By being a player and not the game creator I've already increased participation tenfold! And I'm trying which is more than can be said for like, 70% of Homestuck Mafia participants. Quit giggling like a schoolgirl crushing on Bieber, play your damn trombone and seduce that hot girl in your band for a change.

In Homestuck mafia, it had been literally over two years since I had played a game of Mafia, and the knowledge of how to do so apparently just drained right out of my brain.

So, yeah, I am probably coming across stronger here.

Vote: Bob Dole

Reasoning: As I said, Bob Dole is a quintessential "nice guy" who has many wonderful, loyal qualities but lacks imagination and, therefore, feels incredibly guilty when asked to do something 'sinful,' 'immoral' or 'unethical.' His activity elsewhere and his inactivity here could also be explained through a lack of Mafia experience (I don't know if he's played before), but if so, that increases the likelihood that he has some ridiculous power role that he has no idea how to handle, and there's an altogether decent chance his role is anti-town.

Only strike against Bob being scum is, his scummates should probably be screaming at him to be more active, given he's around. And I do think Bob would feel guilty about letting his team down. The counterargument is that Bob hasn't had legit pressure against him here, which is why I want to pressure him and see if he responds by showing, and what defense he gives for being inactive.

...This also makes me wonder about Nik. If Bob flips Mafia, I'll feel better about Nik being Cult or Town. (This does not apply if Bob flips Cult or SK.) You see, of all the people who, if Bob's scummate, would definitely convince Bob to embrace his dark side, it's Nikose. The dude is like that little Devil that sits on your shoulder and slowly, meticulously, delightfully corrupts you. Scum-Nik would totally wear Scum-Bob down to such a point where Bob began crackling manically as Scum-Nik made him offers of sex and power.

...I'm not sure whether Nik should consider that an insult or a compliment.
