im actually starting to swing toward believing blush so far, roleblocking weary is logical and weary's not doing a good job defending themselves so far
but honestly is it that hard to appear rational when opposed by someone
ugh i hate myself but weary has already done some blatant antitown stuff
vote weary
Guess I will start here. You find that I have been irrational/paranoid in my reaction towards Blush's accusation. Although I admit I did act too fast/unclear, I personally think that my response was logical(ish). I'll try and explain the best I can below.
Throughout Day 1, the recurring theme was about a roleblocker outing themselves because people think the Mafia might have gotten roleblocked, and then lynching whomever was roleblocked. Although this was not widely supported, especially with Shades being lynched, it was still something people were considering.
Then continue to Day 2 where 0 people died in the night. The first post (by you) talks about how Shades' death makes a roleblocker claim more valid. The second post (by expressionless) says it would be worth for the roleblocker to claim and find out their targets and lynch between them.
Then there is Blush claiming to be the roleblocker and saying they blocked me last night (the night with 0 deaths). With there being 0 deaths, if Blush is the real roleblocker that means there is a pretty decent chance of me being Mafia. With me having a pretty decent chance of being Mafia in everyones eyes, this means that at that point that Blush claimed I had become a very likely lynch target. There may not have been any votes on me but there was plenty of pressure that an oncoming bandwagon was about to occur because I was blocked on a night with 0 deaths. Unamused was in the same scenario here (as they were blocked N0 and people seem to think Shades' gun was real and even though I slightly still have my doubts it would be pretty gamethrowing for a town to lie about nightkilling someone), however with me also having started the bandwagon on Shades who turned out innocent I felt I was doomed to be lynched today unless I acted.
Being a town member, being lynched is obviously not something I should just let happen. I felt it was my job to provide an alternate lynch option to people instead of me. As far as I'm aware there were two plausible theories of who could be a better lynch option than me. The first was Unamused because he was blocked N0 and there was likely not a Mafia kill that night. The second being Blush where he is the disguiser making what I saw as a pretty smart play. From these two I chose to go with Blush because this seemed like such a good disguiser play it felt like it was exactly what was happening. All of these thoughts happened within a minute, which is why I instantly counter voted Blush and I admit I should of taken longer than to instantly hard accuse Blush of being a fake and instead discuss this posibility.
Another thing that made me go for the accuse Blush decision, aswell as making me think that I was going to be lynched really fast, is that I too thought the roleblocker could out today and we should lynch their target (because there were 0 kills). That was the third post of today, about a minute before Blush claimed roleblocker:
So to repeat Day 1, should the roleblocker or something claim their target since nobody has died?
As soon as the day started I wanted to lynch whomever the roleblockers target was last night (since 0 kills) so when I turned out to be that target I panicked. I hope that maybe this quote can give me some credibility because along with Expressionless (1 minute before me) I also brought up the idea of the roleblocker claiming their target. If I were the Mafia whose kill just got blocked would I even bring this up this soon into the day?
I still feel it is on me to provide a better lynch option than myself. And I don't really think I have one. Admittedly Blush has reacted extremly calm/in a town manner. His responses, the claims by Unamused and Yum page 8/9 along with some arguments I had yesterday about whether or not a disguiser might actually do this have convinced me that maybe I'm not the target of disguiser shenanigans after all. Which means to me Blush is off the table to be lynched as he seems to be a real roleblocker.
That would leave Unamused as the only other person who really has a chance of being Mafia because of the N0 block on him. But Unamused has claimed tracker who got no report N0 when tracking Yum, and Yum confirmed they did attempt to visit someone. This does not prove Unamused as tracker or Blush as roleblocker because Unamused could be lying and trying to stir confusion with Thinking, but that is also a pretty out-there theory and it doesn't really look that way to me.
This leaves me with 0 better lynch options than me, and the only thing I can really say is please consider not lynching me. I know I am avillager so lynching me won't result in a big loss as some people said when lynching Shades, but a town lynch is still not what we want. The best thing I can think of to do today is maybe No Lynch. Blush brought it up earlier by mistake but considering I see no actual lynch options besides myself, for me this seems to be the best way to go. With no night kills we can likely afford it. So I am going to go ahead and vote for that and will try to respond incase I missed something that you would like explained.
Unvote
