TwilightBard: 25 days of baking...it's gonna be a long month.
But, on to other business.
As far as my suspects, nmillar and Primal were both touting the multiple mafia strat, and Jefe's post at the beginning of the day had an amazingly detailed mention of Joe's death, that made me wonder what information he was pulling to get that. I'm not too concerned about Jefe, since the general feeling is that as the other Lover he'll be gone tonight anyway.
Then there's Baz, I've been avoiding this mainly because I've hit the point where I feel like I've already reached my conclusion and I'm going to end up twisting events to make my case, and that's making me step back and examine this more. I'm still very suspicious, but I'm willing to hold off on trying to make a case.
I am however, of a different mind about Rodzaju putting his information out there early. At first I was suspicious, but then I realized, if he's town, then to me it's a similar situation to Game 5's Miller...getting the information out eliminates the ability to falseclaim, and it makes roles that could be detrimental to the town a little weaker
At the end, I'm going to
Vote nmillar Being one of the most vocal multiple mafia theorists, I feel that sprouting out such information only benefits the Mafia since it sets the town into a bit of a frenzy, and muddies the water to a great degree.
I appreciate the Miller reference cos it was me that game and I felt my role gave me no choice then - I was never going to survive, it was a logical decision for the benefit of Town. It's different with Rod - there was no real reason for him to do what he has done, there has been no provocation, and the claim and consequent backing up nonsensical at best. I remember as Miller it was decided to leave me alone, but the Vigilante took me out first night anyway..;o(
As for the Mafia formation debate - I wish I'd never pulled Baz up on his '3 in all probability' post now, cos it opened the way for others to re-open it....as has already been stated, speculation on it is a waste of time and effort, at least until Day 2 is over and we get some more information. Yes, Nmillar was the first to speculate (i think, that could be wrong, i haven't got time to really search back through yesterdays posts), but I think nearly everyone has stuck an oar in at some point, so its difficult to castigate any one person in particular, IMHO.
Oh my god, I just defended nmillar. Someone shoot me now!!....;o)
