Which I will remind you has been most lynched mafiate's last action.

So basically you are getting on his back because he voted without proper reason? Well hell, let's just lynch Catlover, who as of now, has changed his vote, what? 3 times? 4 times? And his reasons for voting are paper thin at best?

No, sorry, I don't buy that. And trying to compound via his lack of defense? Which was probably closer to "Well, boy, I screwed up." I don't think he is defending himself, because well, it's hard to use the "I screwed up" defense, as that seems to get a person killed pretty quickly. Whether they were innocent or not. (I've seen it both ways, from my perspective anyway.)

Wait. Trying to make himself useful is grounds for hanging in your opinion? WTF? You ARE thinking like a mafiate. And in this case, it's dangerous to the town.

Well, as far as the "This many times" thing, I blatantly said that it was random and that everyone had the same chance, debunking that myself. Now, who said bringing attention was a bad thing? I consider it a valuable point as MORE people look at you when you say something. Hear you out more.

The reverse of that is, you have a nice bed of posts to go back to. My first game, I had trouble with the mafiates with high post counts. It's much easier to find evidence if there are fewer posts to examine. You (or any high poster mafiates) are much more able to hide behind a veil of words.

This isn't an accusation that post count reflects anything, it's actually saying the opposite. Being loud doesn't make you one way or the other. Especially if they are as smart as you.

"You think it well to keep out of the limelight,..." XD Ahahahhaahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahha XD

Oh, that was a good laugh. Anyway, thinking like a mafiate only helps it actually gives some insight into the way the mafiates are playing. But that is your way of seeming useful to the town, isn't it? Like we couldn't figure out what the mafia was doing without you? (Probably not, I'll admit. But it is an issue I wanted to put out there and be blunt about. I hope you prefer me being honest.)

The thing is, you catalyzed almost exclusively around yourself. Most of the time, it's two people, one starting and the other picking it up. In this case, it was CmP. THAT is why I'm suspicous of you. One, or both, of you isn't right here.

You, for laying a trap. (Seriously, defending yourself early, then accusing someone who goes for ya? You were drawing yourself into the open. You said you expected someone to accuse you eventually because of it. That kind of comes off as egotisitcal though. You are expecting that? Are your fellow townies so very petty like that? (Again, sorry for the harsh words, but I wish I could plut it less bluntly. I'd also like to state that I wouldn't have made an issue out of it.)) Him, for walking into so obvious a trap. (Up to acknowledgeing it at as a "joke". Which, as he well knows, can be very dangerous for either party.)

To me, it doesn't. What possible point could it serve but to make the first person who accuses you look like a heel? Even if they didn't use that line of thinking, you could say they were. It's basically setting up a trap. Again, you are thinking like a mafiate. Is that really best for the town, that way?

No, you were defending yourself. CmP was the first one to vote for you. But now you aren't even focusing on him, you are on B_real. Of course, if he wasn't guilty, then you could always snake it back to CmP. Or conversly, he could say you manipulated it from the start, and get you hung. This is why I'm suspicious of both of you.

A show of words is just that. Heh. Don't know how I feel about this yet, to be honest.

Yet you are basing your thinking on last games. Mesden, we don't exist in a vacuum. But let's be honest here, if IHateMakingNames was in this game, how long do you think he would last? Why are former town roles are almost always the first night kill? It shouldn't affect things, but it does. By saying, "This is how I acted before", how is that really any different than saying "I've been around the block a few times." Experience is intimidating.

Yes you have. Like I said before, "back up plan". Isn't it nice when you have mulitple targets. (Yes, I'm aware of the hypocrisy there, but then again, I didn't start this, now did I?)

Take this as you will. He's deserved my vote until I'm convinced otherwise.

Now, I looked back, but couldn't see your vote. Especially since you said at the start of the message, " I've been dangerously close to voting for him this whole time." I don't remember you voting for him. (Newb's vote summary is really obtuse. Sorry, Newb.) If you could kindly point it out, I'd appreciate it.

Again, part of your accusations are that he isn't defending himself. How do you defend yourself from accusations of being quiet? By being useful. At the very least, I think that's what all those numbers are supposed to do.

I had people get suspcious of me when I was loud, but didn't get defensive about it. I merely acknowledged it. (And yeah, someone else entirely said it sounded suspicous who ended up being a townie, so there ya go.)

Again, I never wanted to look like I was defending Mes. In fact, it should be looked at as more self-preserving on my part, because I wasn't aware of the potential backlash that resulted from the joke; If I hadn't disuaded people from voting Mes then it might have snowballed too far and the vote trail would have lead back to me, even though I never meant for it to go that far. So, bottom line, Self-preservation.

Wasn't aware? Yeah right. Again, I think you are far too smart and experienced to make that kind of mistake. I'd hate to use that as a point, but your defense rests on your capability to play, so I'm afraid I have no choice. Of course, the vote trail thing is part of the reason that I think one of you is suspicious. (For more indepth about this, go back up to my responses with Mesden if you just skipped down here.) I'm definitely going to vote for one of you now. One more response each, and then I'll decide.

Yet you refuse to acknowledge the sk again. Which is really starting to vex me. But at least you are acknowledging that being a known townie is dangerous.

I agree with Mesden's logics entirely, and I just have a bad feeling about him. He seems scummy.

Just how many times have you changed your votes this game? Seriously? YOU JUST VOTED FOR HER! TWICE! What the hell is wrong with you?

You are a danger to the town and everyone in it. Once I figure out Mesden and CmP, I'm going to come after you. You are too easily persueded and dangerous to mafia manipulation.
