In this game HG went after my logic when I saw the math didn't add up for how many players were in the game. After I shared my thinking he continued to harp on it until he finally votes for me. He pointed out which people didn't thank Maz's post, prompting Maz to interject that we shouldn't be judged on whether we thanked a post or not. When I made the same mistake in post #595 (not knowing the hosts know all turned players at all times) that Diss made today, it was calmly pointed out to me by HG and devo. It's interesting to see the difference with diss having 4 votes at the time.
I found it odd on Day 1 where HG voted for me, possibly to get a reaction out of me, and when he switched his vote, it was to the guy I had voted for. He even quoted me when he voted for me because he didn't like why I voted for activeStick. If he didn't like the reason I voted for active, why switch it to him? Since that happened I felt like I was being set up. Maybe he was waiting until I got some votes on me and then he'd try and convince others. Maybe it was a coincidence, but I thought it was odd.

As I said yesterday I didn't jump on your mistake because at the time I didn't think you were a host. On the flip side I do think Diss is a host and I think he knows better than to not know the rules, so I pressed the issue.
The reason I switched to activeStick is because bizaro had some good points against him, I thought they made sense and I wanted to see how activeStick reacted. He really didn't do much about it until his hint he was the smuggler and then disappeared. Below is the post from bizaro I am talking about.

Since then, he's made the following posts:

Leads with a question, then suggests inactivity, which is the number one thing that benefits the scum. If we don't vote someone out, we just get 0.5 days closer to losing every time, and lose our biggest way of gaining knowledge.
Another question about how the game works, which has often been a scum tactic to derail analysis/conversation. Girlysports did this well last game.
Leads with a question again. This concludes three short posts with very little content, basically the same question. Seems designed to get post count up without providing any actual analysis or information that could be used against him later in the game.
Leads with a question again, comments that we need to decide as a group if we should do a lynch or not.

So my comments are that of the 5 posts since I voted for him, 4 start with questions about the game, none have any scum hunting in them, and the general idea seems to be to not lynch, which is a terrible town strategy. Combining that with laying low, innocuous posting to pad post count, and not voting suggests to me that activestick could be scum trying to lay low and not make waves.
I've already voted for him so can't vote again - but have two suggestions.
1) Activestick - vote for someone, and post who you think is scum and why.
2) Passengers - Read through his posts and see what you think. We need to lynch someone and I think he's a strong candidate.[/QUOTE]
