Hunt approach number 2
Let us filter the candidates for mentions and/or attitudes towards Chris.
Andrew
Responded with an image of himself to one of Chris's posts that did not even involve or invoke him.
Dropped a comment (unlinked to any conversation, it seems) that he is unsure about Chris, though he enjoys his roleplay.
Next mention is on
Day Three, good Lord! Says he'll read on Chris.
Barks at Leslie for voting Chris in an instant, after my published (hopefully Socky award winning come this spring) case on him.
Agrees with my entire case on him, adds him in his top three.
Asks Jerry for thoughts on more people than just Chris.
Replies to Chris in person (for the first time since the game began), just to point out to him that he's been charged for more than just heavy roleplaying.
This is content to frown at. There is enough distance here to fit in a herd of buffalos. The only line that feels flask is the last one - as in, why would Andrew bother to point that out to Chris, if they'd have chat to try to craft Chris's rebuttals carefully.
Let it be on the record that I'm frowning at Andrew for this content. *frowns* I told you to talk more about others, son.
Chimes in on me and Chris discussing April's claim.
Dismisses Andrew's idea that he is suspecting people for roleplay, giving the example that Chris, among others, would then be one of his targets.
Beginning of Day 3, sees validity in the Chris suspicion.
Chris vote pile-up gives him pause.
Asks Chris for legacy votes.
...
Ok what the ***!!! I didn't sense this, but you also didn't address anything on Chris for two days?!
This is beyond deplorable. *frowns*
Newport
Only started breathing on Day three, Chris was immediately one of his suspects. The quote he chose, though, dates back to Chris talking about Bill on Day 1.
Sketchy momentum to include Chris in his susspool, but that D1 reference makes me think he's alone and had no idea what to grasp or (or, rather, tried to start from scratch in commenting on some people). Why would off-the-radar mafia not attempt to make himself useful, on the issues that are most pressing?
Donna
Nothing on Chris until Day 2, when she places him "middle of pack" while dropping a line on everyone. Also mistakes Chris with Andrew.
When asked (by me), develops more about him: blendy, posts a lot, roleplays well, but doesn't remember what he's saying.
Day 3, profile deepens: finds Chris "frantic and scattered" in defending himself.
Votes Chris "to not delay things further".
I recall talking yesterday about how Donna took her sweet time to say something relevant about Chris. And how, when (even if in jest) asked to get people talking about Chris, she changed the subject to vote Jamm. This part is displeasing.
I recall saying that Donna's votes were the same as Chris's, except the day he got lynched and she was on the committee. This part is worrying.
Donna's read on Chris on his lynch's day appears more serious in tone, but could also be comfortable writing. This part is ambiguous.
I find Donna's read on razor thin edge between civilian who couldn't be bothered to address Chris until it got real and mafia who might have tried to plant comments that looks useful and at the same time not spark any thoughts on the guy.
John-Poopio
Day 2 answers Chris's call for activity. Also considers Chris's confusing, but delightful in roletalk.
Day 3, what do you know, Chris suddenly "reeks of drama".
No surprises here, there is nothing assuring here. *frowns*
Jerry
Straight out of the woodwork, has Chris (and Ben) as suspect for lore and trying hard syndrome.
Day 2, simply reiterates his previous read.
Rebuttal to Chris's criticism about trying to shoot down the "Craig was spotted" night kill theory.
Day 3, trigger happy to vote Chris, calls him "phony".
Chris - Jerry interaction about that Craig kill stuff is interesting, but it still falls well into the antagonism / distancing possibility. Like everything Jerry has written on the subject can feel like.
Tom - nothing; god bless this man
Conclusions:
1) This is worse than the vote analysis, across the board.
2) You're all awful, but only two of you are bad.
I. Told. You. To. Talk. About. Chris.
3) Between the top suspects, Jerry and Leslie, she would be more in the "I completely forgot to talk about my teammate until pressured" scenario, while Jerry would be in clear "I am distancing from this brosky with the power of ten oxen" scenario. So which one would make more sense?
