I’m honestly surprised at scum’s ability to consistently convince us to lynch the wrong target. With such a high proportion of scum this game, you’d think that at least one of the suspicious players would be scum, but nope. We are either so inept or the scum really brought their A game.
Anyway, before I’m called out for breaking the rules, let me just say that special circumstances are allowing me to post at night. Also I have no incentive to rhyme at night so I don’t have to worry about that.
My main suspects right now are Deus Asnoth and Webadict
Deus because he drew a lot of suspicion during the end of the first day that we never got to properly attack or let him defend. During second day, people just decided that he was innocent without really stating why. The most townie thing he did was claim that Web was town, but that could easily be a case of a mafia defending his buddy. I wasn’t really one of the people who was passionate about his case during Day 1 so if someone wants to attack him it would have to be one of his original attackers (such as Webadict).
Webadict being a known mafia pro can really be a pain sometimes. If you were just the average player I wouldn’t suspect you being mafia at all, but considering some of the tricks you pulled in some of your more notable games (one of the early begginer mafias come to mind), I unfortunately have to keep my eye on you. Stuff like not voting for Caz, sending me waffles, and confirming my alignment would normally work out in your favour, but your pro skills unfortunately force me to be wary of a long con.
Thing is, it’s not like you haven’t done anything suspicious. This recent Teneb vote was a perfect example. You congratulated yourself on not jumping onto the Caz bandwagon, yet you jumped on to the Teneb one without giving a proper reason, and ended up shifting the vote into getting him lynched. Your post about the extensions being futile due to a lack of activity was what convinced me to join the bandwagon myself and I feel like an absolute idiot now.
Not jumping on the Caz wagon isn’t a townie tell either. Regardless of whether you joined or not, he was going to die anyway. You used his death and positive role flip to convince us that you had some sort of hidden affinity for determing who was or wasn’t town, but Teneb’s flip demonstrates that clearly isn’t the case. Caz turned out to be town, but he did not act like town. He was acting scummy all throughout that day, and when accusations were made against him his defence was terrible. The only post of his that seemed remotely townie was when he talked about being sad that he wasn’t able to use his role abilities, and though I agree that the emotion behind that post was sincere, scum would feel just as sad if they got an interesting role they wouldn’t get to use. I don’t understand what you saw that made Caz seem innocent so the only reason I could think of for you not joining the Caz wagon was because your position in the mafia allowed you to already know that he was town and you voting for someone like that would look bad on you at flip. Shame you didn’t apply that logic to Teneb, but I guess you wanted his vote removal ability out of the way so you could make the upcoming round a MILO.
Special note for TricMagic
Though your incompetence has saved you thus far, I really am starting to question your innocence. From what I understand, your mafia and town play aren’t really that different from each other. Therefore, the idea that you are too insane to be mafia isn’t really a valid one. Though your incompetence can explain why you voted for Teneb (who in hindsight was a moronic lynch since he claimed neighbour and revealed Persus13’s anti-town role name, when he could have done that to his scum buddies in private), it’s also possible that perhaps there’s a method to your madness. A hidden genius behind your actions. If a scum team gave you proper guidance, I can’t imagine it to be too hard for you to absolutely wreck the game for town. I won’t be perusing you today (too much WIFOM), but if we manage to lynch some scum and get breathing room, know that I will come after you.
