Oh right I wanted to say this:
NQT made this post during WC3 and while the ultimate conclusion was wrong it was mostly accurate. Lenglon and myself were most certainly town, and Hapah was the last witch which was one of the people NQT put under the "scum" list. So while it wasn't a correct analysis it read who was town with 100% accuracy.
And what was the leading factor that made a player town you ask? Why, simply suspecting many people!
Having a wide-spread of targets is a pro-town sign (as you genuinely suspect everyone), and NQT, Leafsnail, Toonyman and Vector all have 5+ attack targets (Leafsnail had 10, I've voted or FOS'd everyone, Toony and Vector have 5). Deathsword and IronyOwl have 4. Birdy, Solifuge, Hapah, Tiruin, Dariush and Toaster all had 3 or less targets. Birdy/Ottofar, strikingly, has only voted for me once and no one else.
Not sure where Lenglon went on this list, but Dariush, Toaster, and Hapah were the scum and look where they are on the list. The only actual town player who had less than four suspects was Birdy.
It would be interesting to see a table made for this showing each persons's attacks by each day's end, to compare totals of people able to continue to attack more properly against people for whom death stopped their ability to attack.
Two players were active throughout D1 and D2, but were dead (and stayed dead) by D3:
Tiruin, and Dariush. Does that offer an alternate explanation for their 3 or fewer targets?
I suspect not, because the thread had about 515 posts between start of play and the start of D3 across almost a full month of playtime - that's a heck of a lot of space and time to only find three people scummy enough to attack.
None the less, I'd find the theory, "And what was the leading factor that made a player town you ask? Why, simply suspecting many people!" more valid if the 'when you left play' variable was adjusted for.
Edited to add, those statistics also do not include the vote patterns for two of the players: Not only is Lenglon not included on the list, but zombie urist isn't there either. And I'm not sure where NQT said "Deathsword and IronyOwl have 4" - Ironyowl replaced Deathsword, so NQT may have meant Deathsword/IronyOwl have 4, or they have 8.
