Ok, in this post I hope to show how HG has steered the game for the scum. How he has built up taking things where he wants while trying to spread the suspicion around. He starts early.
On post #76 he states this.

Probably is nothing, but you never know.

We already know ECF was a passenger but we don't know much about Peanut, still he is getting the ball rolling.
Post #101 is this.

Right now the question is would one of the 3 hosts be trying to lead the charge out of the gate? I'm thinking that MAYBE 1 would be super active (probably not the captain) and the other 2 might be looking to stay in the bush and blend in.

Here he advocates the spore/infected is not important. He knows Oling has it and is hoping for a turn. Interestingly he reveals the same thing I have thought on how the scum would play. Is that a brilliant scum play for revealing that strategy or could I be wrong? We will see.
I am also not going to quote them all but in the first 7 pages a lot of posters were struggling with how the spore works and the rules. HG had the answers to those questions, he knew exactly how the spore worked. Could be nothing, maybe he just grasped it better than the rest of us. Could be something though.
At post 173 there had been some discussion that all the talk was just noise. His response was:

Right now all but 3 (maybe 4) of us are passengers. If we talk now and hunt for hosts, point out posts that interest us then we have a record of how people behave. If someone is infected by the spore and their victory condition changes then maybe they act differently and we can pick up on it.
Thoughts on that SebC and Elephant?

He does not want a quiet thread, he wants lots of accusations being thrown around, that benefits the scum. The more confusion the better. Then he picks two more players and tries to get some discussion going there, add to the noise and confusion.
On post 186 there is this.

Honestly I am probably wrong, since the odds of lynching a host aren't in our favour but we have to start somewhere.

Activestick is lying low which HG knows will draw suspicions as the game goes on. Better to try for a stronger player. Interesting that HG is convinced now that mrkjz is a host but here he seems to agree with mrkjz's reasoning on Activestick.
Post #231 confirms what I have seen, he is playing this game more aggressively trying to steer things his way. He is responding to a post to a post by Oling saying that maybe the scum would pass the spore to a weaker player.

Here Lego and HG do a couple of posts at each other early so they look at ends with each other but it is all a show to me.

I don't have anything actually worth posting in this game yet. It's literally, and I mean LITERALLY much ado about nothing so far. Like someone else mentioned before, it's hard to piece together useful information during the first day - even when looking though the posts after the game is over.
I've sat down and written paragraph-long responses numerous times, only to delete them because... what am I gonna do... accuse someone because they posted on on a minute ending with an odd number while everyone else that hour posted during even minutes? That's essentially the quality of information we have going for us now. Sample size is ridiculously small to draw even the simplest of conclusions.
So Hockeyguy15... what do you expect exactly? What are you trying to do exactly? Should I go back and look at the posting activity of Day -4? How am I supposed to even defend myself if I accuse someone? I voted for Girly, and everyone here knows it's for no good reason. Just a reason.
I wonder what the post count would be for some posters if you factored out them b*tching about other posters not posting. Seems like an easy way to hide in plain sight.

I know day 1 is always a crap shoot but all we are doing is helping the hosts by not posting at all. If we don't post, they don't have to post and they will be less likely to slip up now/down the line.
I know my theories aren't bulletproof and if I get lynched because of them then so be it, that's the game. I would rather go down trying to find hosts rather than go out without leaving a trail in my wake.

More to come...just getting started
