Okay so I'll go through your points one by one and give my explanation/reasoning behind it all.

The fact that I put suspicion on people only with support: okay, I'm not denying I do this and I can kind of understand now why this would seem suspicious because of the reasons you listed. The only thing I can say to this is why I actually did that, and that is because I don't exactly pride myself on my Mafia skills. I tend to make a judgment but keep it to myself because a) it could be a stupid thing to say or b) it could be a suspicious thing to say without me realising. For example, when ltin made his post about how the Mafia could bus the pap at first I saw this as reasonable and actually saw what he was trying to say, until people gave their comments on it and I realised I would have bee stupid, and suspicious, to agree to it because I saw why his post didn't really make sense. So whilst I agree this behaviour is probably suspicious it's just something I do because I'm feel like I need support in what I'm saying if I'm not 100% sure on it to say anything. However, let me also point out that I did defend ltin without any support because I truely believed there was an extremely strong chance he was town, so whilst your point has merit for the majority of cases, it doesn't fit all the time.

My reasoning for voting ltin is something I've also said in previous posts: everyone had seen the thread and my defences and nobody was agreeing with me. The only purpose of not voting ltin would be to delay the night before they are inevitably lynched because as I said, nothing else was happening, and if everyone else believes ltin to be suspicious enough to vote and only I disagree, me not voting isn't going to do anything but keep people waiting. May I also point out that ooglie did the same thing and I'm presuming it was for the same reason so one which he can understand; he said he didn't agree with a ltin lynch but if nobody had anything else to say he would hammer. Why? Because nothing else was happening, I'd lost my argument and was just giving in to what the majority thought. I re-stated the fact that I disagreed with ltin being lynched as a last small push to defend him.

I didn't say anything about hunter being suspicious to me because, as I've said multiple times now, I wasn't so sure about it and saying "guys my gut says hunter is Mafia" might have put suspicion on me. As a civilian I want as little suspicion as possible. I had 0 evidence to support my suspicion on hunter other than gut which is why I said nothing. Then when hunter did something that I viewed as anti-town and seeing others agree I jumped to lynch him because suddenly I had a reason, and my gut feeling became more precise, as I flashbacked to him wanting the mayor to out. I didn't want to refer back to previous games because I didn't think it was allowed but you've just done it so I will say a part of my gut feeling on hunter was also because he seemed to have been a lot quieter this game and less "chaotic", whether that be because of the feedback he received in dead chat from last game or because he has a specific motive of playing in a different style because he is a different role/on a different team: the Mafia team. I know it probably looks like I saw notty and oog vote him and the jumped on board but I had honestly just got home from college, gone online on steam, ooglie told me to check Mafia so I did, saw what hunter had done and saw it was suspicious and saw I wasn't alone in thinking it so I voted him. That was all there was to it.

Again, I've explained this before, but I didn't say suspicion on you because notty said it for me. So instead, I rated your post confusing, said "I agree with notty" and then focused my attention towards hunter because out of the two of you, I found him more likely to be Mafia. I've town-read you all game so when you agreed with hunter I guess I just dismissed it as you making a confused decision which is based too strictly on your principle on "never no-lynch" and since nobody else was suspicious you wanted ltin lynched, but hunter's wording of his reasoning for not unvoting made me think he had a plan. Then when you made that post I actually was going to reply to that and say yes you were but hunter moreso but because you wrote it in a different style to your other posts (you were like "am I suspicious tell me pls" rather than "Do you think I'm suspicious?" I thought it was some meme or joke or sarcastic reference to how I was acting, asking how I was suspicious, so I decided not to respond in the end (which was stupid of me and an incredibly bad excuse but it's the truth). Then when you attacked me, I realised you were being serious and so defended myself because I didn't want to be lynched, so I explained that I did in fact also find you suspicious.

The reason why I voted hunter is because, and I seriously don't know how I can make this any clearer, I then truely believed hunter was Mafia and saw a chance to save ltin, who I saw as innocent. I was in no suspicion prior to this switch, so if I was Mafia why would I do that? I switched because I am scum hunting, killing who I believe to be Mafia. I really don't see how that is supicious at all.

As for hunter claiming civilian, I did reconsider my vote before realising that any Mafia member other than the quack is realistically going to claim civilian so he could just as easily be Mafia hiding behind his claim, and also if I unvoted right after hunter put suspicion on me not only would I probably look even more suspicious but I'd be the one to be lynched because it was him or me. I knew I was innocent for a fact so of course I went with the hunter lynch. Looking back now I see this was a possibly a mistake and I should have just unvoted because it was a civilian claim but I kept it going because I was still suspicious of him, still very certain that he was Mafia, still following my gut. But I suppose logically killing a civilian claim day 1 isn't the best way to go.

The reason I was tunneling against hunter was because he was my #1 suspect. I believed someone was behind the ltin lynch as a Mafia member, and I believed that someone was hunter, and everyone else had just agreed and bought into their schemes.

The "convenience" of me having suspicion on hunter all along is simply because that is the truth. I don't know how to defend that other than saying that I am town whether you believe it or not, and I have been nothing but honest.

Now I'm put into a very awkward position because after your hunter analysis I am actually starting to worry that this is literally 2 civilians against each other. A part of me wants to unvote, but I think that would lead me to being lynched, who I know for certain am a civilian and so know lynching me is a bad option, whereas there is a chance hunter is just playing this very smart and is actually mafia. Heck even you could be mafia, but if I thought that was true I'd not bother defending myself from you to this extent and would instead be trying to convince everyone else that you are Mafia.

Other than that I don't quite know what else I can say other than I know for a fact that lynching me is a bad move, and just hope you all believe it when I say it. Everything that is being put against me is all over-analysed theory making that does make sense in all honesty, after reading your clear reasons as to why you think I'm suspicious, but they are wrong, and that's all I can really say.

Well, next time your mafia you will learn not to make the same mistakes you made the last time you were mafia. <3

Inf what about me made me seem so town to you?
Well to me your posts just screamed pro-town. You wanted to stop the meming and lynched aqua because of that, something that a member of the mafia would surely not risk doing because it could easily put them under suspicion of random lynching. You were trying to figure out statistics to help us, and you were just completely not suspicious in my opinion. I guess I just saw your mindset and saw Town behind it. When people started saying you were acting "too town" I couldn't, and still don't, understand that, because to me you weren't acting "too town". The only time I figured you could be slightly over-doing looking town was after people put suspicion on you when you said about the "EXTREME" importance of keeping civilians alive. But other than that I could just not see you as Mafia at all, and the fact that such a huge bandwagon was on you for such a ridiculous reason made me think the mafia were in with it because I was the only friction of it, so it wasn't like your mafia buddies were protecting you or anything.
Well, next time your mafia you will learn not to make the same mistakes you made the last time you were mafia. <3
And assuming you're Town, next time you're whatever role you are you'll learn not to make the same mistakes and over-analyse someone's posts to the point where you believe an important town role to be mafia and get them lynched <3

So I think what ender says makes sense.
Especially about hunter, I totally see that. (I honestly don't know why I didn't notice that, because I went into this game expecting hunter to play the way he is)
His inf stuff makes sense too, though I'm not entirely sure where I stand out that yet.

And ^ is actually another reason I defended ltin for "trying to act too town", because as Town myself I was putting effort into seeming innocent so I wouldn't get lynched, so I thought ltin could also be civilian. Forgot to say this in my previous post.
honestly I'm 101% sure you're making this up on the spot

lol well you can think that all you like, I can't exactly prove that I'm not. But I saw people were saying he was acting too town and whilst I disagreed, a part of me thought that even if they were right, he could still be civilian doing that.

(found these which kind of help me prove I'm not making it up on the spot I suppose)

Can someone please explain why we're lynching someone because they are appearing Town? Surely even a Town PR would want to appear as Townie as they could so that they wouldn't get accidentally lynched?
Honestly I personally think Ltin's apparently forcefulness of appearing Townie is literally because he is one and was being put under suspicion so to remedy it he tried to appear Townie so he wasn't lynched.

Okay I've mulled it over and re-read and it's got to a point where I'm having doubts about hunter actually being mafia, and I have a terrible feeling we are both civilians trying to get each other killed. I know some people are going to interpret this as a mafia move because somehow everything I seem to do is mafia-like but I may as well be voting for kallie if I'm voting for hunter because I no longer have the same level of suspicion because Ender's post convinced me. Hopefully this doesn't get me killed and hopefully we can maybe discuss other options than lynching one of us and hopefully everyone won't just go "see he's trying to act all town-like by unvoting so people will unvote on him!!" but personally I'm back to square one as to who is suspicious enough to lynch. So, with that:

#unvote

I feel like there's a lot of words...but not much actual substance there. I'm honestly trusting Hunter more than Inf bc however infuriating it may be, that is his playstyle and it's the same as every other game I've played with him, just as Ender said. And Inf just seems to be relying on 'I was protecting a townie and I know I'm civ' as the majority of his argument. Not going to re-vote just yet though.

Yes because that is literally my argument, that's all I've done. I saw someone who I thought we shouldn't kill and I defended against killing them, just as you are doing for hunter. I saw someone I saw as Mafia and voted them, just as people are doing for me.

I know there's no way of proving this but I'm telling you guys, you're making a mistake lynching me. This whole situation is so ridiculous because people are making these huge posts over-analysing all my posts and turning them into something a Mafia would do and it's so frustrating because my actual intentions behind everything are in my post above. Can you please read those and still tell me you think I'm Mafia?

I know I'm probably digging myself into a deeper whole or whatever but this is the first time I'm being voted and honestly I have no idea what to do other than defend myself from dying. You guys literally said killing a civilian claim is a no-no. Sure, if you find them to be Mafia 90% sure or something it may be okay, but does anyone still believe that even after I've gone through every point against me and explained the actual, completely honest reasons behind it all? And if they don't; there's no deadline. Can we not discuss other options? Is there no other idea? I know I'm looking like I super-don't-want-to-die here but that is because I don't because:

a) I'm civilian and I know the mafia are rubbing their hands together knowing they're killing me off and using the excuse of "ender's post makes sense" without even considering my defence of it, as their killing method.

b) I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR MAFIA EVER SINCE THE LAST ONE AND TO DIE D1, AS A CIVILIAN WHO HAS DONE NOTHING BUT PLAY THE GAME AND TRY TO WIN, WOULD SUCK SO MUCH LOL.

So anyone voting me can you please at least give a solid reason as to why you are lynching a civilian claim who has given an explanation for literally everything I've done, and every one of my explanations make complete sense (at least to me they do). If I was Mafia and I had evil intentions I would not have been able to have thought of all those excuses and I'm telling you everything I have said is 100% the truth. It's not even like lynching me will confirm any other people because pretty much nobody is defending me any more for some reason. Ahhhh this is so annoying.

Inffy was basically forced to claim, and it kinda went downhill for him from there. It seems to me as if under such pressure there's no reason for Inffy to claim civilian if he wasn't - a town PR claiming civilian is basically shooting themselves in the foot; a scum claiming civilian is just asking to be lynched on the next day. It's not to Inffy's advantage for him to claim in such a way, but under immense pressure to claim, I don't think he's the one to lie about his role for no reason unless he's scum, but the fact that its a civilian claim rules that out.

It's somewhat hard not to think that any civilian claim coming from Inffy would come off as mafia, especially with the evidence that was raised, putting confirmation bias aside and whatnot. What I do see, which really pisses me off (although it's just due to playing style and whatnot), is that peeps have been shooting down Inffy's arguments with short responses like "You're appealing to emotion", which drives Inffy crazy and desperate, then peeps start shooting down those arguments because he sounds ridiculous when he's desperate. This is confusing =S
