All right, I think we can start moving on form discussing the logistics of this. After reading through everything I missed it feels like the town has largely been standing around holding their dicks. Like it's been mentioned before, the mafia could have found a way to mess with the groupings. Either way we have to get the ball rolling to actually find anything out. Having the pony list as a backdrop is it's safest place.
(After reading through the last 100 posts, I actually do feel guilty for the meta being exploited. But it happened, so whatever.)
Anyways, I'll start with my own group. I feel like yoshiya is obvious town. His play and style are those of a townie, and the feeling is only augmented because he's new. If he's mafia, I'm damn impressed his been playing the way he has.
And as for linkz, he has less of a town feeling, but I'm leaning town also. I don't know exactly his reasoning for stating that this whole meta-gaming shenanigans could have been exploited by mafia, but he was the first to do so.
Here's the possibilities of linkz:
1) He's a bluffing mafia. He saw the danger of what was happening, and called a bluff to get town to second guess themselves.
2) He made a mistake as mafia, and despite knowing the plan wouldn't work, told the town there was a loophole instead of letting them go on a wild goose chase.
3) He's town, and stated what he saw as obvious.
#1 to me seems like grasping at straws (which is interesting that zero would try to argue it) and linkz is too good a player to pull a #2. So, yeah. Someone enlighten me otherwise.
From the suspicion on myself it feels damn weird that I'm essentially clearing yoshi and links, but I'm believing that Mafia fake-claimed into the groups other than the dashes.
Now here's the people I'm willing to vote for:
Noctis - He's been a thorn on the town. I'm willing to admit that this vote is based a lot on wanting to not worry about him later on.
Zero - There's been a lot of instances we're I've seen "pretend" noob town from him. His early post (where he assumes townies can't be lynched) smells of distancing from mafia. Where hatmoza's wrong about his new player instincts on zero, is that a mafia is more likely to stick with their story to the death than see their mistakes as town. I saw that from zero more often than hatmoza's interpretation of hot-headed townie.
HoS - zero
(It always looks like he has something to say. I want to see what it is.)
Vote - Noctis
(Honestly, he's not likely to say anything more.)
