FallacyOfUrist: Same question to you. What do you think of Shakerag's claim and people's responses to it?
Basically this.
Funny as that daykill was, what the hell, man?
I've changed my opinion on randomly killing. Well, mostly.
Yes, there was a chance he could have randomly hit the King Mafia(yay!). There was, however, a much higher chance of hitting town(boo!). There is a higher chance of lynching King Mafia(yay!), but now we have less townies to get in the King Mafia's way(boo!).
It would benefit the King Mafia much more to day kill at the start of the day than it would town.
Shakerag says it doesn't make any sense for the King Mafia to claim the day kill... word of the day: WIFOM. Words of the day: refuge in audacity.
Isn't this the kind of crazy gambit one would expect of Shakerag if he were King Mafia?
And really, if Shakerag claimed it later rather than immediately, it would make him look scummier. Of course the King Mafia would want to avoid that.
But there's two further nails in Shakerag's coffin that really clinch it for me.
One. Vote analysis reveals...
persus13
That Shakerag voted Persus right after I voted Persus. This looks like bandwagoning to me. The town would be better served by voting somebody else and putting pressure on them, rather than putting all the pressure on one person.
Two. And this is the real clincher.
If Shakerag is town, why didn't he wait? He could have waited until there was a very suspicious mafia suspect, then killed them so the town wouldn't have to waste the lynch. He could have waited until he had reads, then targeted somebody he thought was scum instead of killing at random.
To summarize: Shakerag is my current top King Mafia suspect.
Also, being funny is not an excuse. Though I do like funny things, again, being funny is not a valid excuse.
I would vote him immediately if it wouldn't hammer.
Seeing as it does hammer him if I voted him, I'll put a FoS on
Shakerag and note that I'll vote him tomorrow if we haven't found a better suspect.
The reason I'm not voting him immediately is that I want more time to talk.
Alright, I'm not satisfied with the discussion today.
Because this.
More talk can hardly be a bad thing. And we're not going to have much to discuss tomorrow if we just leave it like this.
Shakerag: How does it feel to know that your life is hanging by a thread? Do you regret your decision to kill early?
So I don't get mod killed for inactivity, I'll reiterate my vote on
Persus13. Rules say you must vote once per real life day or get prodded. Two prods is death.
