This long and someone actually asked or noted it...

Because I have a role and it would have helped me learn something about Ambiti0nZ. I was also hinting at my role, which is middling, with the hope to draw the NK away from Frost who I assumed had a more powerful role. I changed my mind and did not in fact use it on Ambiti0nZ given the way the events transpired. Since Ambiti0nZ is very likely Town. I'll hold onto the rest to see how the day pans out. You ask why you are 6th out of 9? Because 7, 8 and 9 were there at the end of day and instrumental in the final discussions. Dedo, ZFR and HSL given the way this transpired are almost certainly Town. It would not have been hard for any of them to shift the lynch to me to protect their scum buddy. In fact even Joe with his "kill for any reason and damn any discussion" is more than likely Town. All it would have taken is 1, the gap between 4th and 5th is a chasm.

Dessimu - as to my reasoning.
1) Note, I didn't reveal any of that until a substantial part of the day had played out, so that info was useless to change anything on the record. People wanted to know my rationale for my votes and suspicions, I gave them those. I expect players to justify their votes. As to future games? Yeah, they can learn, sure, but what else can one do?
2) That's what I do for Day 1 where we know nothing for certain. I feel I get much better in subsequent days looking for different things that I can connect to facts and actions and how they relate to known info. Ok, so it might help them fool me on Day 1 where I can't say my reads were ultimately that good anyway. I mean, I had HSL on my scum list, was voting Ambiti0nZ who I no longer think is scum and similar with ZFR. Yeah I missed Buck at first because I thought he was a new player and read him by different standards.

Joe - I also thought our deadline was about 12 hours earlier because I missed the post where Lift gave a definite time. I was running under the assumption day could end at any moment starting at 3 am my time (which is Midnight West Coast) and was dismayed to find no one around. And I still avow that hasty, last minute lynches are risky and should only go through with good reasoning. What happens if your lynch target that you just flash wagoned isn't online and is the Town cop? Had no chance to claim and then where do we stand? Especially given the advantage scum have on Day 1, where in this case it only took 3 true Town to be either absent or wrongly convinced someone is Town to stop any scum lynch. Meanwhile, with 3 more votes, mafia can easily help pass a bad lynch.

Hyper - As wagons are fizzling out and people are looking for other options you made your post. So I looked into it and ISo'd Buck seeing you had a point and backed that point up. Seemingly most everyone else ignored it with the exception of Ambiti0nZ. If I were scum, I could have conveniently ignored it too. Even look at ZFR's post where he thought we had no chance to make the wagon work while we cross-posted. My vote was instrumental in helping that wagon move. I'd say that's a good sign I'm Town looking from the outside.

As to who are the 7 either present or voting? All 7 who secured the lynch. All 7 being necessary! If even one were absent or backed out with doubts, it wouldn't have occurred. That is how fragile our lynch was. And really it wouldn't have taken very much for someone to give a fairly decent excuse why they didn't want to join.
