I like your answer but I'm not convinced. I wasn't fishing for reaction with my Sparks vote though. He played very scummy on day 1, and was putting into doubt absolutely everything I did or said. It was completely counter-productive and wasn't reasonable.

My feeling was that only a desperate scum would play that way, but I'm still not sure what he was so worried about, was it the votes on RCT? Then, was it the votes on him?

I'm still not sure. And that's why I'm still skeptical of you. Sparks played really scumily on the end of day 1, so your unvote and reason at the time seemed flip-floppy.

That's not what it looked like to me. Granted it was a very stressful time and it was late here. It looked like Sparks was pushing your buttons pretty hard at the time and you just decided to fuck with him, I spent most of the day focusing on theprof and RCT, so at the time I may have missed some things with sparks. I couldn't help but think to myself "No fucking way. No way is he serious. Padib has been thoughtful and concise all game why would he spring this now unless he had an ulterior motive? Seems like a mafia move and that doesn't fit" Then I figured it would get a lot of great reactions which must have been the point. So I played along. We still had some time left so I figured I would let it stew for a little bit and left to shower and make a sandwhich and decided when I got back I would come clean and apologize, and if you were serious then there might have been enough time for you to make one last case against him and convince me for real. I already trusted you and it was a stressful time so it likely wouldn't have taken much. However when I got back me and Hylian were the only ones that still had a vote on him. You had changed your vote back to outlaw so it confirmed to me what I had originally thought. So I replied to Sparks one last time to get one more reaction out of him, to see if he would fight or fold, and then I came clean to get his final reaction to that. Considering what it's led to so far day 2 I'd say it was a success.

What I want to know is if you were serious why did you change your vote? When I saw that, it confirmed what I first thought. Apparently tho that observation was a mistake, one of many far that I will try to learn from. I'm sorry you lost trust in me, I have no one to blame for that but myself. I will just have to work that much harder to gain it back. What matters now is that we get the mafia and so far since day 2 started as well as what happend day 1 it's clear the most suspicious person has been Sparks. Prof made some good points earlier and as I said before if you wanted to make a serious case against sparks I would consider it. From theprofs findings and what you've said so far I am willing to support your vote and back your play again. This is my vote in stone. It will not change.

Vote; Sparks
