Warning: Potentially over-thought and paranoid post ahead...
Last game, the 8 mafia members were split into 2 rather distinct posting 'types', at least in my mind. There was the highly active and aggressive CaptainCrunch, undercoverbrother, starseed, and bizaro. And then there were the less active DropIt, Completely, CofR and (to a lesser extent) devo.
I began looking closer to see if I could find any correlation between activity level and alignment. I gave up quickly partially because it looks like there was nothing, and also because I saw something more interesting in regards to style.
The 4 less active posters (again, devo to a lesser extent) all had a fairly similar style of posts: pretty empty. What I read were lots of statements of fact, agreements with other ideas, and excuses for not posting more or more in depth. They basically did the bare minimum to not get noticed as the bottom end of the post count.
Now, I know this is likely confirmation bias creeping in, but it's day 1 and I'm struggling for anything concrete. I re-read through this game, looking for similar behavior and I found it:

While I partially understand him being gun-shy from the last game, there's close to zero actual content there. Thoughts?
