Looks like I'm not going to get an answer. Ah well, time to start getting ready for tomorrow, in case I don't make it through tonight.
Permit me a second of self-congratulation: my gut was right about both Khuutra and Squilliam, even if I had nothing to do with the former's death, and only a cursory amount to do with the latter.
Now that that's out of the way, I'd like to focus attention on dtewi for a bit. He's contradicted himself already in this thread: on Day One he wrote that Kratos being the Serial Killer "makes sense," and he tried to defend Khuutra by saying that he (dtewi) would consider Zeus to be the "ultimate baddie" in the series, which I find to be an odd thing to say when the opening text makes it clear that Zeus is the good guy in our game. He also thought that hatmoza's role claim was pretty genuine, and that he saw no "reason to poke at it": he even FoS'd silver-tiger for daring to question hatmoza.
Those were just my thoughts before the game began. Before I started, I thought Kratos was going to be Pro-Town and Zeus Anti-Town since that goes along with the series. I didn't see any reason to poke at it then because it did make sense for Kratos was the serial killer.
On Day Two, the contradictions begin. He was never thinking that Kratos was the Serial Killer: he thought Kratos would be a townie. Hatmoza was clearly the serial killer. He became upset when Hephaestos stepped forward and admitted that he (Hephaestos) was indeed Kratos the serial killer. And, less concretely, he really does seem to bounce from suspect to suspect pretty quickly, and it rarely takes much more than the suspect posting to make him retract his vote. Query: how many times outside of this thread has dtewi not proven himself to be pretty damned stubborn?
I did think Kratos was the serial killer. I was just expressing what my thoughts of Kratos were before e was revealed to be the SK. I was upset that Heph came forward because he was already going to be cured that same night. But now that the mafia knew who he was, they would try to prevent him being cured in any way possible. That's why I was upset.
Here's an interesting sentence: to the best of my knowledge, the town has two ways to kill folks (lynch, Vigilante), while the scum has more. Yet those numbers are reversed here.
There is some stuff to mitigate this, though, most notably the fact that he got on Squilliam early on and, for the first time this game, stayed on someone for more than a page.* Of course, that could just be a ploy to gain trust by showing that he lynched a fellow mafioso, but it should be noted nonetheless. I'm not sure if I'll vote for him early tomorrow, but I would like to hear him explain these contradictions and his skittish behavior.
*Slight exaggeration
