I've also sent the bonus for assisting water to Toaster.
A cowardly, self-serving move.
In the end, most everything in mafia is either self-serving, or a mistake.
So now I'm the contact? Really, Nirur?
A. assume I'm the contact, and B. care who the contact is (given that it doesn't involve him unless he's scum), then I'd like to hear them and we can go from there.
A) I see no other reason why you'd be the only one rushing to defend the contact's honor ... by throwing dirt at me for questioning Jim's judgment of his contact.
B) Reaction fishing works surprisingly well, I've found, and neither of you have explained why it shouldn't cause alarm when somebody discovers the sorcerer's identity, only for that sorcerer to drop dead in the night.
Nirur, what's your read on everyone? You seem to have gone from "too townie" to "not open and useful" to "it must have been the contact." This seems awfully flimsy for MILO.
Vadia - He's behaved strangely, but I believe that he's newbtown rather then newbscum.
Toaster - The response to my suspicions felt like a townie one to me, trying to get me to come up with something concrete and actually trying, rather then just attempting to get me lynched. Posting his notes would be dangerous were he scum, as they may have revealed something about his scumparter. I'm willing to believe he's townie.
IronyOwl - He ignored my suspicions, preferring instead to focus on Jim. I was going to question him further after finishing with Toaster, but no longer see any reason to do so. I didn't, and still don't, feel like getting into the sort of lengthly argument he seems to enjoy.
Jokerman - I still don't believe that he's been trying particularly hard to catch scum. He then became even more belligerent towards me when I dared to voice suspicions of Jim's contact.
Jim - He guarded his secret contact's identity strangely close for someone who he'd identified as highly likely to be a townie. He was also the first to (rather strongly) suggest that we go along with a lynch today, after denouncing the cowardice of the scum. He acts like he's a confirmed townie.
The above two are working together. I'd be willing to bet the game that they're the scum.
