Well.
I'll be pretty plain about this.
I'm not voting Scoop off. I've seen way too much 'Good' (and non-team like interaction between him and Lassr and RMC) to think he's a Villain in this game.
Scoop,
I've just now finished re-reading through stessier's posts to basically share this all with you.
These are the posts I found worth sharing regarding my consideration of stessier's guilt/innocence:
The vote here is meaningless, I imagine - it was the wink that caught my eye when stessier made it. I wasn't sure if stessier was trying to have a joke with a player he had just spoken with 'off line'.
(stessier had changed his post's subject to be a wink). In hindsight, I'm actually thinking it's probably unlikely stessier would wink at a teammate like that.
stessier wrote:I'm not sure why people are going after Scoop. He tends to participate. Tru1cy still seems like the right vote for now.
He get's points for me on that post, as I agree.
stessier wrote:What is the case against Theohall again? Because Grund and Scoop said so and the lemmings followed?
I think tru1cy is still a much better target. With a mere 2 votes, he has drastically increased his participation to something like a post a day. He too has specifically said it wouldn't hurt to off him, meaning not a Special, but still participating. That just screams Wolf to me.
Again, stessier argues what I think, at the time, was the right thing here.
stessier wrote:Am I the only one who has no self control and scrolls down to see what actually happened, but then has trouble going back to re-read the wall of text and feels bad about it when everyone else says how well done it is?
This post made me feel that stessier was just making a quick and honest statement. And the nature of that post paints him as a non villain. If he did this on purpose, it's a sligtly outside the box manner to earn trust.
And here is one of the times that Lassr tried to throw out a barb at me, but stessier actually called Lassr out on it's absurdity.
Lassr wrote:One thing I'm curious about. Unagi, why did you do the withdraw on theohall yesterday when you didn't have a vote on him?
It was almost a tricky way to try and get someone to put him over on the next vote when they may be thinking they were casting the N-1 vote
stessier wrote:You're kidding, right?
He was responding to someone (can't remember who) that was on the train and said "here, follow this example Withdraw theo, accuse tru1cy". What a very odd thing to try and paint as nefarious.
This isn't something I would expect Lassr's partner to bring up and point out.
stessier wrote:Wait - just how new are you? I thought you had played over at GT. Has anyone played with RMC before?
<snip>
This is stessier reacting to something RMC just posted. I wasn't sure if any of it was real or fake. I will say I was certainly just as incredulous as stessier at a few of RMC posts - and wasn't sure what to make of em.
stessier wrote:Has there ever been a vote RMC didn't like? Noobie participation - or something more sinister?
<snip>
This also helps stessier's case. Yes. it could just be 'cover'. And again, RMC was the zerker, so any build up of suspicion on him could be read as a partner trying to light the zerker's fuse, but I don't think that's what the case was here.

Well, nevermind my theory then. Thanks for the save. Since I'm probably gone tonight.....I know a bad guy for certain.
withdraw RMC
2) you know a bad guy for certain. Excellent. Who.
+1
And who is the good guy you know as well?
This is actually, for just a paranoid reason, a post of stessiers' that I will go on record to say does actually
maybe trouble me. Considering what we all now know about the Night 1 EMP, personally,
I think a villain would have tried to communicate that he felt certain there were indeed 2 scans, for what amounts to the same reasons that Remus spoke - but applied in the opposite, more crafty and nefarious direction.
But, the truth is - I also assumed there were 2 scans and would have said as much, but I thought the revalation of Remus' "trusted" player (if the player was alive) was a seperate question (to be brought up later).
So, those are basically the reasons I'm just not thinking stessier is the last villain.
I will also point out that I said this a while back, before Remus revealed his scan (that Scoop and stessier were the two I felt were most 'clear').
I plan to make one of these long posts 'on Qantaga', but I wont have the time tonight (and not sure when tomorrow - but I will do it tomorrow)
I saw stuff as I made this long 'stessier' post.
I will say that there are a lot of things that Qantaga played very well (and I'm not pretending to know I'm right, I do harbor some doubts, but not strong ones).
I also think their team played damn well, but I also saw things that I think are convincing.
One small thing that isn't even a post of Qantaga's ... actually a couple small 'wolfy' things I saw...
His timing throughout the game is interesting (I do hope all of us re-read things). Look for his timing.
He also isn't posting all too often (but enough not to be totally missed) - but his posts seem a little more 'defensive' when he does make some of them. (I guess I am speaking perhaps specifically to some interchanges I read between him and Scoop). In any case, they seemed not typical to what I've come to see from Qantaga, here (I've not played at GT in quite a while).
And finally, he seemed to come in here just at this last day (having missed all the fun), ready to rock and roll, but really hasn't spoken to any of the events that have transpired.
Boom
I hope you had fun in your first game as a baddie, RMC.
but I've most certainly seen it happen to others.
