Okay, let's get started. I'm gonna explain to you my actions and put up my defense first, then move on to my own theories.
My defense
Simply going to reply to every bit brought up against me and perhaps add some as well. From the beginning.
"He was the first to vote No Lynch on Day 0, obviously he was excited to get to Night already so he could start killing people."
Yes, I know that I've always supported a lynch on Day 0 and I still support a lynch and I still supported a lynch then as well, as I remarked quite a few times, but I also explained my No Lynch vote. It was because the majority always feels like lynching on Day 0 is bad for some reason, so instead of spending the whole day trying to convince you to change your minds and making a few enemies in the process (enemies that I certainly did not need this early in the game), I opted for the easy way to get the game going, which was for the Night to begin and some evidence and proof to come our way.
In addition, if I was mafia, I'd have chosen the predictable way of explaining why a lynch would be best for two reasons:
1) It was the thing you'd expect from me, so you wouldn't pay too much attention to it and I'd be less likely to be regarded as suspicious for it.
2) If I was mafia, I'd probably have known who my teammates were, which means that I would've been rather confident in my (and my teammates') ability to direct the suspicion on someone else, bringing the mafia closer to victory.
3) If a mafia member would have indeed been lynched, I would have definitely had supported it (at least when I realized I couldn't save him/her) and gained at least some of your trust by doing so.
"He's stalling the vote to give himself time to come up with a role."; "He wouldn't need to keep track of what he's been saying if he wasn't lying, that must mean he's lying and that must mean he's mafia!"
I've already explained why this is not correct, but for the sake of having a complete defense in one post, I'll post it again.
Because it's easier for me to gather all my thoughts in one post, rather than make a hundred little ones and lose track of what I've been saying.
As I'm sure this post will demonstrate, I have a lot of thoughts that I feel like I want out there and it will get hard to keep track of all of them with the hectic pace the game has been going in. That's all there is to it. And, of course the fact that I did think the game was going too fast and some of the other players who were sleeping at the time would wake up to a motherload of a mess of unpolished posts and I didn't want that to happen. Especially since it was getting hard for myself to keep track of everything you were saying.
"His roleclaim sounds convincing, but I guess the mafia could have such roles as well..."
That's not even a valid point. Any role could have a mafia counterpart, the only reason you're saying something like this is that you can't find anything to prove your suspicion with any more, but since you thought I was mafia at one point, you'll have the nagging feeling at the back of your head for the remainder of the game. Ignore that nagging feel, please. It'll save everyone a lot of trouble.
"He's mafia because his role counters the 3rd Party roles."
Not a valid point either, because my role counters pretty much every role claimed besides the cop. Think of me as a sort of an Inn-related Roleblocker. And since somewhere in those claimed roles there must be at least two mafia (since there's no way there's only one mafioso), then I'm also countering the mafia. I'll admit, not in a very effective way, since I can't stop them from killing anyone, or so it would seem, at least, but a counter nevertheless, so that point is also invalid.
And that was everything you managed to throw at me. Notty did mention "acting generally strange", but because of the vagueness of the reason, I'm afraid I cannot provide a counter to that. If you find any more reasons as to why you should lynch me, then I'll be happy to hear and disprove those as well.
Theories
Gonna do this in the good ol' "What I think of everyone" method and then maybe come up with more elaborate theories, if I find time for it or if I can remember them all from last night when my mind was working on overdrive.
Caffeina - I don't have a strong opinion about her. The townie claim could be either fake and the easy way out of the claim round, or it could be thrown in there by Tim to mess with us. I'm actually leaning on her being town, rather than mafia at the moment, since she didn't lose her head in the critical moment when Ooglie decided she had to be the SK, but the leaning is rather slight.
Duffie - Damn, I have never seen a person harder for me to read in mafia than you. You're exactly the same in every single mafia game, and I've no idea if I should trust you or not. I'm gonna take your word for now since you and
Coolio both say you're together in this game and I kind of find Coolio to be easy to believe at the moment because of the cop report and whatnot.
Notty and Ooglie are my number 1 candidates for possible mafia at the moment. More on that a little further into my post. Ooglie's roleclaim is obviously truthful, but as he said about me, I say about him: it's the alignment that I question.
Fiesta - He could be the
third 3rd Party role in this game, which I find to be a bit of an overkill, but you never know.
Ender - pls no lynch i iz twon
Fruit - I feel that his cop claim is truthful. If he's not the cop, then the mafia won't kill him tonight and if he is the cop then they will kill him tonight. They can't risk letting the cop live and get a guilty investigation on someone. Mind you, this isn't absolute since I said it out loud, but I'd say it's a pretty strong possibility that if he doesn't die, he's lying. So, why lynch him now when we're not certain and feel more like he could be the cop, right?
To recap, here's a colour-coded guide to my suspicion levels:
Notty, Ooglie, Fiesta, Caffeina, Duffie. Coolio, Fruit, Ender.
Now, moving on to my theory about who is mafia and why.
I believe that Notty and Ooglie are the mafiosi right now. It's nothing in the way they have been working as individually in this game, but it is in the way they have been working together.
If we examine the way Notty and Ooglie have been playing in this game, I'm sure you will notice that when one says something, the other tends to pick up on it. Examples:
i'malmostcertaincaffistheSKbythispoint
Probabily because she keeps saying that there is no SK, maybe trying to hide the fact that there is an SK[her]
Current suspects in my eyes: Endersteve, Fiestaguy, Ooglie101, CaffeinatedKitty, Duffie. From my PoV 3/5 of them are Mafia. Seems like good odds. And the cop claimed so no more No Lynch plan.
well
8 people
fruit claims as cop
fruit says coolio is inno
notty doesn't suspect themself
= 5 people left
Once Notty voted me, Ooglie replied he had heavy suspicion on me, once Notty unvotes and says I could still be mafia, even though my claim sounds convincing, Ooglie says basically the exact same thing, etc. I think you all get the point. Now that Fiesta makes the mistake of claiming a third 3rd Party role, which people consider highly unlikely, they jump on him. They simply seem to be working together and I don't like it at all.
If I had to choose a third mafioso, I'd pick Caff, since she's the least trustworthy of the non-suspicious ones to me, mainly because bussing Fiesta at this point would be an extremely idiotic move from Notty and Ooglie, so they wouldn't do it. Which means that Fiesta most likely isn't mafia.
Or I could be wrong and Fiesta is mafia after all. That would mean that either Notty or Ooglie, or both, isn't mafia, but I've already explained why I don't feel like this is the case here.
Now waiting for your questions, counters, pointing out my logic flaws, and so on and so forth.
