Right, i was extremely suspicious of one person yesterday, but there was no real point to accusing them because i had no kind of evidence for it - it just looked obvious to me, but not sure everyone else would agree - but i really have to point it out now.
From the Trick Pony lynch, there were (only) 3 people who voted: MIASG, Steve Van Halen and Afroboy. 2 of whom i find suspicious. MIASG accused him first and then stuck with it for the entire day - i don't know about anyone else, but i don't find that overly suspicious. They know each other, MIASG obviously doesn't want there to be any chance of Trick Pony getting one over on him, as if he was evil and MIASG hadn't picked up on it, i doubt he'd have heard the end of it. I also don't think that if MIASG was genuinely evil, he'd have posted just before the lynch saying:
1 min to go .. god help me if i'm wrong
or start the day saying:
I do suspect some backlash but I stated why i voted for him abnd from and early stage (p5 ?) .. have the others? also you wouldn't believe how quiet TP is now at work
It's an admittance that they look suspicious, and i don't think somebody in the mafia would play it like that. I think what the mafia would do is start the day trying to distance themselves from the mistakes of the previous day.
Maybe something like:
I stated my reasons numerous times! The exchange between you two and his tit for tat for votes looked iffy to me.
A lot of attention may be drawn towards you now miasg and I will always be suspicous of someone who would vote for their own mother mophead you little sod
!
In fact, as they know for certain that Trick Pony wasn't part of their mafia, i'd say that the distancing from the lynch would start on the previous day. Maybe something like:
vote trick pony although if trick pony turns out to be innocent miasg may look suspicous for the exchanges between them.
or
The early aggressive exchanges between miasg and Trick pony led me to suspect both of you which is why if one is lynched my attention will be drawn to the other. My gut instinct which at this stage is the only thing to go by suspects Trick and not Miasg despite Tricks accusations. My vote stands.
He made a point throughout the day of not really accusing people, but adopting a "commentary role" as somebody else pointed out. His votes went for people who other people had accused - this one on Trick Pony and one on mikeblue which he stated in a later post was because he agreed with my reasons, when really it was because mike was the only person to have actually voted for Steve. Which strikes me as a bit hypocritical considering that he's now saying that that "tit for tat" type tactic is part of what makes him suspicious of MIASG and Trick Pony. He posted a couple of times saying that i was not suspicious, and he similarly tried to get Stevenryals on side, as steven pointed out, by agreeing with him alot - this is because we talk alot, search for clues alot and could genuinely cause his mafia a problem.
If you want to read back over the last 5 or 6 pages of day one as well, you'll see one person repeatedly pointing out why Trick Pony looks suspicious, and it isn't MIASG.
vote Steve Van HalenHe even said that it was a negative that an innocent didn't die last night..
