Because I think you're chasing shadows on purpose. Seemed a waste of effort. /shrug If your vote actually counts, then I'll apologize.



Well, cristi's light was on for about 30 min of the last hour, and JMich's move may / mayn't have been distraction to avoid talking about the actual elephant in the room. I'll consider that a move, and boldly make my own.

Drealmer is town vanilla.
Reasonable follow: He almost certainly wasn't lying about his mod restriction.

I'm going to rule out flub doing it purely of his own volition. Ergo a player put it on him. Someone doing it purely randomly at this juncture seems unlikely.

Hypothesis: It was either me (it wasn't) or it was scum who wanted to throw shade at me when it got drealmer lynched and he flipped town (or CL, perhaps).

Had I had such a power (I don't - the Haikunator?), I certainly didn't need it at that moment. I don't think it's any great secret that I've been playing loose and aggressively, but I don't think I've done anything that is outright anti-town. Most of my noise-creation that I think drew drealmer's attention was in the sign-up thread and during the RVS/video phase when few players seemed to actually be "playing Mafia" but instead just milling about. As zeo described my 1/1 bid, YOLO it was, though I'm not a fan of the phrase.

In any case, I was not at all worried about playing defense against that, and if it did get me lynched, so be it. I don't expect to live past N3 in any case.

The "riddle" between yogs and myself can't be nearly as opaque as JMich indicated is it? Asking for the precise answer to the riddle this early in D1 seemed like role fishing to me, not unlike yogs' asking in the first place. I have no doubt yogs' irritation is real.

But he knows something about me (just as him posing the riddle tells me something about him) that make that particular gambit particularly effective. I can go into details if there's a wish to. My only lingering question would be how he would've communicated it whichever of the 3 prize winners is on his team, but again, anyone really looking for meaning in yogs' initial question/vote for me would almost certainly find it easily and know what yogs knows.

Put another way, it shouldn't be much of a mystery to anyone paying attention.

However, I would propose either:
A) Lynch both yogs/I together today (I'm sure he's curious about what wonderful thing happens then) with an equal vote. I'm comfortable trading myself 1 for 1, as I'm quite that confident he's mafia after that sequence of events.

B) Lynch yogs today. If yogs flips town, lynch me because clearly I was lying and had something to do with messing with Drealmer. If yogs flips scum, reassess but likely lynch cristi next.

Why her of the 3? Her post #264 was both her usual piggybacking thing HSL calls her out for when she's scum, and also nicely set the table for turning FoS onto me. All three of dess/dedo/cristi were online prior to drealmer's affliction emerging, however.

Out for a bit.
