I'm not sure I have anything of substance, but I suppose I can share a few of my first impressions upon reading the thread. Please keep in mind they are just observations I've made, as well as general impressions of some of your actions. So don't expect much in the way of a vote to lynch anyone just yet. Yes... it is a wall of text. If you are going to quote this post, please edit out anything not directly contributing to what you have to say about whatever it is you are specifically addressing.
TOGTFO
: I noticed that he FoS'd projectmatt, and after that I didn't see much contribution. Maybe one or two comments on the Mogri/Jason exchanges, but not much else I could glean on first glance. Considering he replaced someone, I'm not entirely shocked either. I'm still trying to transition into this game myself. However, I'll be keeping an eye for future posts from this person.
ZengarZombolt
: I'm not entirely sure how to perceive this person. While I understand the concept of a random and/or joke vote in the RVS stage (as you all call it here), I find the jokevote against the Mod and the use of a randomizer slightly odd. I only say slightly because, well, the first was a joke vote and the second was literally a random vote. As has been mentioned, though, use of a random generator does create a disconnect between the poster and their vote. But is it scummy? I'm not sure.
Mogri
: I've noticed you and Jason have exchanged words on several occasions this far into the game. While I won't go into detail on every single argument, the bulk seemed centered around projectmatt and his actions. Usually with you defending him. It's a bit too early for me to tell for sure, but I'm getting town vibes from you. And not just because you unvoted when I came into the game, either.
projectmatt
: I am familiar with EpicMafia so I understand the whole "mod" confusion, I suppose. I do agree that you do slightly imply you are town with the way you talk, but then again, I think this may have been something you picked up from EM. For every town tell I get from you, there's a scumtell to counter it, so at this moment you're in a neutral standing with me. Also I believe the bandwagon on you was due in part to a large misunderstanding and a failure to gain information before making accusations. It was also partially your fault for not adequately explaining the mechanics of EpicMafia. However, something I did not really like at all was that you kept repeating yourself when it came to your statememts of "mafia would be cautious", and that you yourself "are cautious". Whether this is a scumslip or just a failure to communicate adequately once again, I'm not sure. But I'm going to be watching you in any case.

: I'm curious as to why exactly you felt the need to random vote, unvote, and then vote again in the same exact post. While this may not be scummy in and of itself, I felt that your random vote then became an unnecessary part of your post. I realize this may have been a joke vote, but still. I just found it a bit odd is all. From what I can glean, you were all for voting projectmatt, due in part to the large misunderstanding of the use of the word "mods" in regards to EpicMafia, as well as projectmatt's inadequate explanations of the site itself. I am not entirely sure how I feel about you at this moment in time, to be quite honest. I felt you were tunneling a bit on projectmatt a bit, again due to the EM misunderstanding. I also believe Runner posted something to this effect as well, in his ISO post #4.
Runner
: I'm not entirely sure what's going on in your real life, but despite being an SE in this game, I felt you haven't posted as much as anyone else. I counted and apparently you have a whopping 6 posts. This could just be your play style, as I know people who prefer not to talk unless they have something of worth to add, but at the same time it minimizes the tells that players can read from you. I'd just like to hear your thoughts on everything that's been happening so far in a bit more depth than you have previously posted.
Space Pope
: I felt you were the largest contributor to the votes against projectmatt, if only in the sense that you called him a liar, and that we must "Lynch All Liars". I saw little to no effort to help resolve the EpicMafia "mods" issue, you just assumed he was lying due to your experience on MafiaScum, since moderators here are different than the moderators over at EpicMafia. You also failed to notice that it was Zengar, not projectmatt, that voted the mod. I am glad you backed down a bit after projectmatt defended himself a few times. As to whether your actions thus far are that of scum or aggressive townie, I'm not sure of at this point. Also, I'm not sure if this is important or not, but I don't think you voted at random at all during RVS; the first vote I can find from you was one on projectmatt. I'm not saying not randomly voting is scummy; it's just an observation I made.
MOI
: Magna, you also didn't random vote, unless I'm missing it. Again, this is just an observation. I don't know why you feel that anyone who thinks that RVS is devoid of information must be scum, however, when you yourself did not randomly vote. I do not count the vote on Rocky as random, as you were voting him for a specific game-related reason. If I am wrong about this observation, please enlighten me as to why. I also noticed you exchanged some words with Mogri as well. I am glad that you disagreed with Space Pope's assertion that only scum would say or imply they are town, however, and in general I get a town read from you.
I think this is everyone. I obviously couldn't cover every single detail of this game, but these things are what stuck out the most to me upon reading the thread a few times. Again, if you are going to directly quote this post, please edit anything that doesn't contribute to what you are trying to respond to. These are all first impressions of each specific player, after all.
