I barely recall Starver saying ANYTHING.
I was saying little because I was for a large part of the game playing a role (it had many names, but at one point it was something to do with "Dozing", and in another, I was supposed to be far too absorbed in my hand-held electronic game) in which I was, fictitiously, under a form of post restriction requiring a prod/mention of my name to say anything. (And, right from the beginning, that actually
being voted for was a "You will not win this round!"-type auto. That thing that I "perhaps should not have mentioned".)
I was actually waiting quite a while for you to call out my name, again, prodding me awake so that I could make that final vote for Fallacy... and then decided that Tomasque's vote-count (naming me) might somehow count should I need to continue to justify the charade into Day 3.
BTW, I'd nurtured the idea of Hector being my best guess for Town/non-Aggressive Neutral (and therefore fictitiously my ally) nearly from the start because Hector just fit into that role easiest, with the Moonlit/Fallacy feud going on (and Fish absent). And if I could have killed Fallacy with that Lynch (decided upon
before Fallacy gave the hidden-hint, but I was later very happy to see that claim) my pre-decided plan was then to kill best-buddy Hector at night, with no (good) reason to link it to me. (If I hadn't won by then, I just needed to stay innocent looking and not become the D3 lynch to win.)
However, Hector definitely
wasn't a good person for the Town to try to lynch, at that point, so it didn't take much effort to lean into the particular logic-bomb that let me try to openly kill Fallacy off. I was feeling quite good about my position, at that point, even though I had been totally lost (both as Scum and as fictional non-Scum!) on Day 1. Hector's retraction actually surprised me, but I now realise why that happened.
(Once I discovered that my lynch had failed... and failed because Hector also knew the stakes by then, I'm sure... I also had utmost confidence that Fallacy wasn't playing the
looooong con of being a Townie/Lawful Neutral taking upon himself to claim the role that he might have, like I had by this point, decided
must exist. I considered that possibility, but the real driver (quiet Hector? ...although already in my future plans to kill, if that had been true!) would have had to have been wise enough not to counterclaim, and/or contacted through a role-ability, and it would have made Fallacy suicidal and thus likely a Jester.)
It would have been nice to get the two points, and had I known Hector's 'leave' condition I'd have swapped my lynch/kill wishlist ordering, but Hector played that one just as quietly as I played my role. Kudos.
Anyway, yes, you could
perhaps have got me to say more, instead of arguing amongst yourselves. If you'd have done it earlier, you'd have found me not even realising that it was a car-themed game and I might have given you a strange rolename that didn't match 'reality'. But then it got to the point where I was satisfied that I had a whole package of suitable rolenames and fake abilities/weaknesses that would have just muddied the waters.
And, having told you all this, I expect the next round or three to be far more difficult for me. Both in general suspicion of
all my motives (no change there, then... except when you pretty much forget that I exist!) and in concocting similarly devious schemes of your own, whosoever happens to be the future anti-Town player(s)...
(Also, the possibility that the Mod already has some of my half-formed ideas lined up... There's going to be
some matching, by the end of the Marathon session!)
