There has been a lot of attitude changes since day 1.

I will begin.

TheProf suddenly considers Outlaw to be town after I played my skill. If my points on why Outlaw was town on day 1 were so bad, then why in the world would using my skill to protect him validate my points?? I believe theprof is mafia.

Sparks has gotten very careful day 2. Though it's a sparks meta I prefer, it makes me very uneasy with his change in play. I sense a facade. I sense mafia.

Cone doctor is a broken setup, as prof argued. I believe Cone is mafia.

RCT got mixed up with his fakeclaim. I believe he is mafia.

Wright, Khan and noname are worryingly quiet. I sense mafia. (Wright, this is your cue to pipe up about some town brainstorming, for example what is your opinion on the nightaction scenarios presented by prof and hylian)

Nickles' end of day switch off Sparks and his mention that he would have changed it anyways made me feel very uneasy. I sense piggybacking and I sense mafia.

My only town reads this far are Smeags, Hylian, Outlaw, Myself and the sacrificed Spurge.

Null reads are Trucks and WhiteEagle.

I believe there are two mafia factions and that is why town is 1) overpowered and 2) all over the place. (Mafia are not coordinated and seem to be accusing each other.)

I thought I made it clear, apparently not so I'll say it again. I'm not going to make a serious vote on someone without a strong case/good reason. I thought I had a good read on you all game. I trust strongly that you are town. There are only 2 reasons I can think of why someone would push so hard for a vote during the 11th hour out of nowhere and without a strong case like you did with sparks. 1. They are mafia and they are pushing for a last minute  coup d'état. or 2. They are town, aren't serious and fishing for reactions. It's the most stressful time of the day and probably the best opportunity to catch a slip. When I put my vote on sparks my vote would have been the one to push it over the top, put him in real danger and get real and valuable reactions from everyone. Something at the time I thought you wanted. I leave for a bit to shower and some food and see that after we got those reactions the first thing you did was put your vote back on Outlaw. Big fucking surprise ¡ So you tell me, was I wrong about you? Did I read you wrong? If so and you want to make a real case for sparks then please do and take the time to put the evidence together so there is a strong case and time to seriously consider that evidence. Not that last second kind of move that tries to force everyone's hand.

So no I wasn't serious about the vote on sparks just as I believed you weren't either. So if you want to find me suspicious for backing your play and being honest about it fine, but I'm not sorry for it. I know I at least got valuable reactions and reads on people. I would have much rather voted for RCT since he had the strongest case against him. Those that voted for Outlaw at that point were very suspicious because they had a very weak case for doing so and seemed to be trying to protect RCT at the time.   We could have spent those last few hours making a stronger case for RCT. We had the votes for it and we could have gotten one or two more. If we had we might have a dead mafia right now and possibly could have even saved spurg. Instead you use your ability and changed the dynamic completely and gave those that voted for Outlaw their only real reason to do so. Not only that but it convinced others to take their vote off RCT. I don't regret you using that ability. I think it worked out for the best. Now I and everyone should know you are town and that you should be trusted and not undermined and we mitigated loss as best we could. In my book confirming town that alive > confirming town dead. Also everyone that doubted you just had their reasons and accusations evaporate with that move. So from now on anytime tries to undermine you or doubt you that just casts more suspicion on them. So again I'm not sorry for trusting you, I'm not sorry for backing what seemed like an obvious play for reactions from you, and I'm not sorry for being honest about it.
