If conversation has stagnated, new cases really aren't going to present themselves.
The two cases I was willing to pursue today, naxus and freezie, are kind of dead since they've posted believable defenses. I'm currently at a loss.

Disagree. Freezie has posted nothing since my response to his defense of himself. It's still 100% a bandwagon and my vote will not shift until I get an answer for it.

True, I could have put more effort on Gilli's case. However, I had nothing more to add than what has been said on day 1, and as pointed, I still beleive he's quite lucky that everyone let him loose so easily. If people are going to let him loose, while I have nothing to add, I would feel Rodion-ish to re-present the case with the same arguments and holding on to what everyone beleive is a dead case.
I am still re-reading a bit, on all my games actually, once the week-end arrive I'll take 2-3 hours and get back on touch with everything.
Unvote for the time beeing.

In other words, let's go ahead and vote someone who isn't paying attention, but I'm not paying attention enough to care who that is X2.![]()
Vote strike, why does someone have to explicitly point out there being "no leads" every game? It's like a coverup or something!
Oh, I'm paying attention to who isn't posting, I just didn't add my little internal note-in-the-head list to my post.

I had a few moments, so I went to look at posting levels in this game (not including confirmation posts)1. Metsfanmax = 5 posts

I thought this as well. My ears were also ticked by Haggis wanting to replace him. I think I understand his reasoning about not wanting to vote someone who isn't around to defend themselves. But I can also see this move as something a compatriot might suggest, wanting us to get along with a replacement instead of a vote if in fact we are onto someone this early.

So role claiming from now on can be a bit of a double-edge, maybe even triple-edge---there is a possibility we could learn or feel confident who has what character/role if it makes sense, there is also a possibility about tipping off non-town folks, and also the possibility that non-town folks would try to use their fake claims, which might be convincing, unless we figured out if their character/role jived with precedents so far.
Anyways, I think I'm more confused now than I was before.

FOS Andy. The majority of his posts are like this. Fairly non-commital and expressing little opinion on the actual scum tells. He appears to just be going with the flow.
Sometimes it is hard not to go with the flow when it seems like it is mostly a discussion with a small number of players that are posting. Anyways, I'm still building up my reads on everyone.

I'm willing to listen to all the cases, but the Fircoal and Gilligan cases have been scattered too much for me to make much of anything. For those of you who feel something about those cases, would you write up a summary post, so we could more easily compare all the cases? Ta1lgunn3r just sort of presented a summary for the Strike Wolf case-building, and Strike Wolf and Myself posted earlier about Naxus and Freezie respectively. If my post isn't adequate enough for case comparison, let me know, and I'll write up something else.

for now.
freezie, Friday - July 15th wrote:Wether he has posted or not over the weekend or send pms, we can not see them, therefor he is and has been inactive. Point done.
And weirdly, I don't feel like voting either com nor strike on that matter. Com is trying to find a scumarinner by saying he answered pms but didn't post here, strike is going against commander for lieing about Sax beeing around.
I mean, if they sent pms between each others, we won't know, so strike is right in his accusations......But still, Com isn't exactly doing harm by pressuring someone that hasn't posted and is beeing pressured. Sax is still at l-6 anyway....Well, l-5, since I want him to post now.
Vote: Sax
Moral of this story: Using the fact that a user has sent you pms to vote him in a mafia game is poor evidence in any ways shape or form. The fact he is inactive is here, but what's outside the game stays outside the game..
