[M] The Big Show I think most people have figured out the identity of The Big Show at this point and we all realize the player hasn't played a game of EoFF Mafia in some time. Still, this doesn't mean we should count him out because he could be every bit as shrewd and cunning as the most veteran among our ranks. His posts about other players in the game don't really stand out, and while he does have opinions, they're not especially strong.
[M] Buff Bagwell At this stage in the game we still have a couple of players who appear to be inactive but have yet to be replaced. This should tell us they're doing something to stay in the game, and something we can't see. That should be incredibly suspicious.
[M] The Hardy Boyz The Hardy Boyz are pretty mysterious to me because they tend to run a bit hot and cold in the game. They make very, very occasional but semi-strong points concerning other players and as such they blip everyone's radar but then get lost in all of the other noise. As has been pointed out by several other players, this is an excellent scum tactic that's repeated over and over again by many scumbags for one simple reason; it works.
[M] Max Mini Very similar to the Buff Bagwell scenario, with the exception that this particular player seemed to have more activity in Day 0 or Day 1. Can't remember which. Of course things come up, sometimes people forget to post, but still. Someone who is not very active but hasn't been replaced.
[M] New Jack New Jack is clearly a veteran player, but one who's been bitten more times than he cares to recall, I think. He relies primarily on instinct, and definitely lives in the moment. He is reactive, not proactive in his apparent search for scum. A good example of what one could call hiding in plain sight. (I think I've said that once before, or at least thought it.)
[M] Ric Flair Flair definitely serves as the foil to New Jack. A veteran who relies almost exclusively on post analysis and comparison. While this strategy does provide probably the best method for routing our scum it is the most time-consuming. Flair lacks a sense of urgency that other players definitely make up for and from time to time seems to grasp for straws. The lack of urgency is notable while we undoubtedly got lucky that we didn't lose another two players on our second night in a row, we're still not sitting so pretty.
[M] Rikishi's Ass Rikishi is, along with The Hardy Boyz and Max Mini, among the most suspicious characters to me. He creates just enough of a blip for others to recognize him but the content of his posts seems to lack conviction for me. He's not a hot head like New Jack, he's not analytical like Flair. He responds when prodded. That's about as much as I can say for him.
[M] The Ultimate Warrior I think this is some kind of crazy power role for one side or the other, or something like a survivor or a jester. The pure fact that his posts are so... dense (in the way of verbiage, I mean, not in the way of intellect) makes me want to believe there's some hidden content in them. That there's something we should all see that we're not quite getting.
Either that or he's just a goofball.
[M] The Undertaker While this characters activity does seem to fluctuate, I really find no reason to mistrust him. Is that in itself suspicious? Definitely. Some players over the course of these games have proven themselves to be excellent at deflecting just enough attention that any thoughts given to them rarely go beyond a nah, that guy is totally town.
[M] The Rock The Rock is a semi-veteran, I think. His arguments don't often stand on their own, they rely on support from others that post previous to him or just subsequent. Evenso he's given some interesting veiled bluffs I'd like to learn more about. One thing that is interesting is that most people choose not to engage in debates with him. I have no idea why that would be so. On my list of suspicions he's not at the top, but he's also not at the bottom.
[M] Bret Hart Obviously a slow starter. I'm just wondering mostly why he has so much to say now and so little to say previous to now. He makes excellent points, but they seem like they're a day late and a dollar short. What gives with that and where were all of his observations in the first few days.
[M] Stone Cold I have definitely been using too much instinct and not enough synthesis and analysis. Much like New Jack I've been waiting to see what people will say and neglecting what people have said. It's a delicate balance in the comparison between old and new posts. A lot of evidence can be found in between. In my votes that've resulted in lynchings, I was wrong. Damn.
