is
an SE.
On the late confirm: as I've said before, foilist posted numerous times in other threads in the two days it took him to confirm. Those posts were far more complicated than a simple confirmation, so I'm not convinced that RL made a confirmation impossible. Foilist's explanation in post 30 doesn't do much to change that.
Then again, it seems a few more candidates (Crimmy and McGriddle) have popped up. My eye isn't completely off Foilist yet but he's not first on the list anymore.
As for me following the SE's/IC: well yes I do think I'm following them. Perhaps a bit too much, I don't know. I started this game with only a basic understanding of what's smart and what isn't and each time new information on what usually works pops up and it makes sense to me, it's likely to change something in how I play. That doesn't mean they are above suspicion. If foilist had given me a list of tips, his late confirmation still would've been suspicious. But I'm assuming that even if one of them is scum, they can't/won't use their position to feed us false information on what is a common strategy and what isn't. As the game goes on I will start to rely more on my own suspicions and tactics.
Now to my new main candidates:
Crimmy has taken a few votes so far and I agree that he's a suspicious guy, but I'd like to bring a bit more attention to McGriddle.
First of all, although he wasn't the one to put foilist at L-1, he wasn't far off. His and Crimmy's votes were only an hour apart. And like Crimmy, he jumped on the wagon without adding his own opinions on which parts of foilist's behaviour he did and didn't find suspicious.
Second, once CSL suggested that a quick lynch would not be to our advantage (something it seems most of us agree with) he found CSL to be 'suspicious', again without explanation.
Now I'll accept that he's just as new as I am and therefore probably knows as little about tactics as I do, but then he would've had to admit his wrongs when it became clear that CSL's comments on quick lynching were generally accepted as true.
McGriddle wrote:Accusation on CSL, I understand he is trying to help us, but it makes it seem like he is trying to persuade us to appreciate his knowledge on the subject.
So his justification is that CSL is trying to look experienced? As I said when foilist was accused of this, it's hardly a reason for suspicion even if it is true. After all, he IS more experienced that we are and if (as McGriddle recognises) he is trying to help us I see no reason not to be happy with that.
Then he unvotes foilist who he still called suspicious less than an hour earlier, again with only a vague oneliner as explanation.
All that just to say that while Crimmy takes more votes, I think McGriddle is close to being just as suspicious.
