Pursuing inactives is definitely a viable strategy. Such was the case in FMA mafia. The last two scum were inactives later replaced by Lord Death and Atticus. It turned out both Lord Death and Atticus were mafia.
The reason we opted to examine, DH, Thareous was because the last game where he was mafia, he lurked a lot and posted pro-town. No one suspected him. This was a necessary investigation. While he doesn't appear suspicious, it's best to keep an eye on him.
I have to agree with ALIT here and, while nobody wants to become a target, I figured with me not coming in as often as I wanted and should have I would have been noticed by someone else, so I can't see any problems there.
Personally I'd like to pursue Rishian because of a couple things. For starters this...
Is this a random vote, or are you actually thinking I am scum? I would just like to know.
Also, I know it's really tough to decide day one who might be scum and who might not be. But we need to look over who is voting for you, and why they are voting as such.
Seems a bit over reactive, especially if observed in context (yes you all know what those little arrows next the quotee's post mean....go yonder and follow the link). It's quite clear that Mido's vote was random. It was one of his first posts in the thread during a fairly erratic RVS. Rishian's questioning seems to be a bit over the top as a response to something that was nothing more than a little RV.
Exhibit B: We have this...
QUOTE=Mido;644101]So my question for the audience is this... Why did so many people pile onto Lord Death right off the bat? Could this be Scum behaviour, in attempting to drive the rest of us to vote along with them to get rid of a townie? Just a thought that crossed my mind
While it is a very accurate assessment of the situation, Rishian is also one of the very few posters that was actually defending the late Lord Death. Or course Furie was another who ultimately turned out to be scum.
This isn't a ton to go off of but I also noticed ALIT's comment here
After looking through the last day, I'm almost 100% certain Austin and Wyatt are townies.
Furie cast an early finger of suspicion on Austin. Her haphazard tactics prompted Wyatt (Kybyrian) to lead the charge for her lynch.
I'm suspicious of the people who voted for Wyatt namely Thareous, Lord Death, Rishian, and Raindrop. I'm most suspicious of Thar and Lord Death. Lord Death panicked and spouted on and on. Thareous stepped in to defend him voting for Zenox (Jarl Ballin)..
Of the others mentioned on here, two are dead. That leaves us Thar and Rishian. While I do have to say I'm not entirely sure about Thar, I'm much more suspicious of Rishian, who hasn't been extremely active even though he came in earlier on in the game. I may not be the best person to make that statement, but I personally think that if you add that to the other previous statements, he does give off a scum vibe.
Rishian, if I could get a defense on this, I'd like one please.
