Charle wrote:Actually Loose, I have 4 questions for you as well:
1. Why are you protecting Max with everything you have? You mentioned a few times that he might be scum, but you would rather lynch Sonic or Dev today and you went full steam for EW yesterday?
2. What did Sonic do between yesterday and today to move your focus from EW (who was your No. 1 scum option yesterday) to Sonic?
3. What did Dev do, that Kong and Traf did not do, to make him scum?
4. What happened last night that took EW completely off your scum list?
Good and fair questions Charle
1. Sonic for sure and to a lesser extent Dev, I am more suspicious of than Max.
The reason I'm less suspicious of Max than you are is his digging in with a theory is consistent with how he was as mason with me in your game.
There's also an element I'll admit of not wanting to hound a player out of these games - Max enjoys them otherwise he wouldn't be playing them - I've targetted Max in the past etc etc
I also had Max yesterday agreeing to join lynch on Sonic today, if other votes were lining up on Sonic today. Unfortunately so far they are not.
Having said all that needs are what needs must and I'm thinking about whether given I feel so strongly about Sonic being mafia, its wiser to join what I suspect to be a mislynch of Max.
2. Sonic I think you'll find I switched votes and maximum suspicion to D3. It was overwhelming and I've seen no reason to doubt that Sonic is mafia today - quite the opposite if that is possible.
Regarding EW being less high on my suspect list, its firstly and foremostly that Sonic in particular registered so highly and strongly on it.
EW was asking the right questions of me yesterday.
In trying to distinguish between smart EW being town and smart EW being mafia pretending to be town, one comment within a post of EWs struck me in particular as probably genuine, "No Recruit Sucks".
When I then turned my D3 premise that smartest play is no recruit - who is the smartest player - EW is in that frame - to a different question who would no recruit most appeal to - that made me think of everyone but particularly Dev more.
EW could still be smart scum playing it to a tee - shouldn't be discounted - if theres one player who could pull it off so perfectly it would be EW.
3. Dev - partly my answer to 2 at least initially D4.
It also coincided with his wouldn't it be funny if Sonic and Loose were scum together post - which instinctively pinged on my radar but I couldn't initially logically think why.
Now I hypothesize it was frustration with partner Sonic looking too mafia to mafia partner - he subconciously posted something that was suggestive of me and Sonic being as bad as each other.
Now his I'll follow Charle (vote Max), quickly turning to actually no I'm gonna say Loose is my most likely mafia, and the interaction with Sonic during that.
For someone who posted next to nothing before - its put him on my radar for sure.
BUT nowhere near as strongly as Sonic.
Traf - nothing is really pinging one way or the other, except he seems more engaged than he does as mafia Traf.
Kong - to D3 his play has been indistinguishable from Town Kong.
D4 he has made a remarkable comment for a Mafia Kong - he said he'd vote for me for now but then post something else later. A mafia Kong would surely expect to be called out on that.
4. EW is not completely off my scum list - but see 2 and 3 for what has slipped him down it relative to other players.
My scum list is currently as follows;
A. Sonic MASSIVELY
B. Dev but a mile as the crow flies behind Sonic
C. Max but a country mile behind Sonic
D (= roughly) EW and Traf - 2 miles as the crow flies behind Sonic
F. Kong - 2 country miles behind Sonic
