First and foremost, I apologize about my extreme laziness as far as this game is concerned. I can’t really say that I haven’t posted because some real life things have gotten in the way, I’m just a lazy bastard. Plus, I always get the feeling that I don’t really need to say anything because somebody may say it in my stead. And if no one else does, then it was too crazy to matter anyway.
On with actually getting something done! Vote: Catlover
Reasons have been previously stated, for the most part. I don’t really agree that he’s a threat as a sporadic voter, but he definitely could be using it as a cover. From my memory, Catlover is kind of a vet at this game. He isn’t necessarily awesome at the game, but he’s been in one or two of them. As such, he should know that if you don’t provide complete evidence for your actions if they’re as random as his have been, then you are under the threat of being lynched. However, if my memory serves, the people with the random votes have just been confused vanilla townies. Therefore, he would expect somebody to use that as cover to defend him. This cover could be in the form of a concerned townie, or possibly a mafiate if he is in the mafia.
Now, another part of this game that seems to be… useful but unused are clues. I asked Newb about them, and he said, in this thread, that he may or may not put clues in. Therefore, I took a minute of my time to come up with some farfetched theories that I don’t consider to be gospel, just food for thought. If anything, this should be amusing rather than actually helpful. As far as actually trying to dig up random clues goes, I looked at the mafia killing scene.
In this scene, there is not a whole lot that goes on. The only significant part in this scene is the five bullets. Now, this either means that one mafiate shot the guy five times or all five of the mafia shot him once. Symbolically, the idea of all five mafia shooting one guy shows equality. None of the mafia is better than the others, no single veteran hit man is sent for the kill. In game, this could either mean that all of the mafia are newbies or they are all vets. However, that’s going into very abstract concepts that are probably nothing.
Another such symbolism is relating the number five to peoples names. This would not be unlike in the first mafia where Incendius said he would take a stab at the game, and the first victim was knifed. The only person who I saw had relation to the number five was Catlover, who has five numbers in his name. Again, this is so obscure it’s probably untrue.
Before someone lynches me for such random ideas or for possibly knowing too much, keep in mind that when I thought of this I was bored. Not bored enough to post in this thread, but bored. So if you don’t take it as crazy talk, just take it as some mildly amusing idea that has no relation to the game.

Reason: I had to bold my vote.
