this whole thing about linkz is making me confused

This hunt has been more fruitful:

He basically had him pegged for scum all of Day One and I think the closest he came to explaining it was saying "his[Mantle's] list seemed very fake to me."

Could it be that we've found our poisoner?

Here's the list of posts where he references mantle:

[ http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=4874213 ] -> Scum list
[ http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=4876006 ] -> Scum list
[ http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=4876138  ] -> Prefers No lynch but if he were to vote he'd vote for mantle
[ http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=4876372 ] -> Scum/Town list
[ http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=4877217 ] -> Scum/Town list
[ http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=4878067 ] -> Prefers No Lynch but would lynch Mantle/ Radish/ Stef
[ http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=4878161 ] -> Says he believes Mantle/radish to be scum more than he thinks Linkz is SK

Yaknow, I've been making this response to DT in another tab, and it really is starting to look like mario is actually the outsider.

It would fit the profile, he has been suspicious of Mantle all of Day One but never bothered to put it into words which is understandable if you factor in that he planned to kill him at night. That would make mounting a case against him a waste of time.

hat's gotten back to me, so I will give full disclosure now.

Unlike the wiki role, I don't have a list of roles to choose who to control, in fact I don't know any roles. I am able to pick anyone(but only one person) and then decide who they target every night. Why I planned on just playing as a Vanilla is that without knowledge of my target's role, I could have caused flipped results for investigators, directed protection off of good targets, or caused extra townie deaths in the event of non-mafia killing roles. The target wouldn't be informed that someone else is deciding who they actually target,(and so I assume they have no choice of obeying or not) hence why I said if Stefl actually steals abilities that the docs wouldn't know it. That's also what troubles me about Stefl's role, because I don't know how we could interact. Would he copy my ability or would I be able to direct whichever action he chooses to use at whomever I choose?

I have learned that my death does not leave the player stripped of their ability.(The original wording could have been interpreted as such)
Also I am not forced to override the player's target.

OK anyway, back to my thing with DT and my reads:

1 Here are my suspects:
Linkz, Tabaha, Mario
Here are my somewhat trusted (also somewhat distrusted)
Spurge, stefl, Pezus

Pezus has the same suspects I do, yet Linkz says Pezus is definitely scum.
My conondrum was that
-if Linkz was right, and Pezus was scum, then it is very unlikely that mafia Pezus had named other mafia as his suspects, which would mean that all my suspects were town.
-But if Pezus was right, meaning I was also right, then Linkz could be simply mafia trying to discredit Pezus.

However, I don't think I am that far off on my suspects.
I think Mario is a great candidate for reasons such as laying low, avoiding real arguments, and jumpiness. Additionally, he is not one of the people I trust, and by process of elimination, him being untrusted and calm makes for a combination that results in me thinking scum.
I think Linkz is a great candidate because he's not as active, has been lying purposely about important roles, and undermining and arguing with me on really superficial points, ignoring the meat of the topic. For instance when we were just tlaking about SK being inno-scan, he contends ONLY ONE of the examples, not mentioning the other, and then later when I say then scan often he says "most THIRD PARTIES do not scan town", again, sideswiping the real issue. This is my example of typical slime linkz, which has become his usual scum-play.
I think tabaha is a great candidate because he's being pretty reserved, and has done a few very scummy things, like lynching Radish very quickly for a really asanine reason, among some other bad decisions. I feel like he's also been missing recently. Again, another combo of not trusted and flying too low under the radar.

Now my somewhat trusteds are pezus, stefl, and spurge.
But let's face it, any one of them could be scum or town. It's a very tough call.
For pezus, we have his weird fake-carelessness on day 1, which has been pointed out; (Like answering 'yes' to the question 'are you scum' and the strange 'voting me is a mislynch' early day 1) and he has had a pretty wide range of suspects but doesn't really actively pursue many of them other than what has been accepted as 'town really trying hard' with the simple "hey X what do you think of Y" derpshit. However, his current list of suspects makes me trust him more, and he's not really avoiding discussion, but does seem to be avoiding directly involving himself in arguments between others.
For stefl, there's really a variety of problems and most of them could chalk up to paranoia. I would say he had a bad suspect list if his suspect list would stay still for a second for me to judge it. He talks about things which he doesn't really understand. His "flip out" I would describe as copying my argument with Linkz, possibly for bluffing reasons, and his role seems like something that could be done to give mafia a poison protection, or a little extra power without overpowering them. From a meta standpoint, he could be scum or town, and his actions don't really scream town to me either. However, nobody has counter-claimed him yet, and he did exactly what his role should've done, and he wasn't targeted or blocked, so it would seem that the role and alignment combo are legit, but yeah, still iffy.
Spurge is a loudmouth. I can't get a proper read on him except that he seems a bit more reserved this game, as in, he's not trying to press his issues, he's just commentating. Usually as town, he'll try to push lynches the way he wants but I haven't been seeing that.

So who does Mario like for scum? pezus, stefl, tab, linkz
Who does Linkz like for scum? Prof, pezus, tabaha, spurge, stefl?
Who does tabaha like for scum? Stefl, (thinks linkz is an ok lynch but not the best), spurge (from day 1 end)
Pezus? Linkz, tab, Mario
stefl? Mario and Trucks I think (changes somewhat often)
Spurge? Linkz tabaha mario stefl I think (changes often)

Who do all my suspects suspect

Linkz 3 votes
stefl 4 votes
tabaha 4 votes
pezus 2 votes
Mario 3 votes
spurge 2 votes

If there are 3 non scum votes here, then there is at the very least 1 vote from scum on stefl and tabaha.
The people that hate stefl are spurge,mario,linkz,and tabaha
The people that hate tabaha are spurge, linkz, tabaha, and pezus

Linkz is suspected by one of my main 3
Mario is suspected by none of my main 3

Stefl is suspected by 3 of my suspects.

Mario suspects two of my main three, Linkz suspects one of my main three, and tabby suspects none of my main three.

Stefl also happens to be a doctor (unchallenged by doc)who is suspected by my three main (and a non-main). Cross off stefl.

So we're left with spurge, tabaha, linkz, mario, pezus.

Pezus wants to lynch all three of my main, that makes me think he's not mafia; accordingly two of my main also want him dead.
Mario wants to lynch two of the other 2 main, that also makes me think he's not mafia either, though strange that neither of the other two suspect him at all. Then again, Mario is the type to turn on his teammates. I should know. I've been on his team before.
Spurge wants to lynch all three of my main. Is he just copying my list? I can't really trust his lists lol. But still, if he's willing to vote with my vote, then I'll take it.
Niether tabby nor linkz are really down to vote for the other. Tabby is like 4th or 5th in linkz descending scum order, and linkz is an 'ok but not really' in tabby's list. But both also pushed for Radish, so I would think Radish is not scum, but someone else is.

Anyway, to conclude, I would say tabby and linkz are mafia, and either pezus or mario or spurge is the SK, but since one of them is my main, I'd say Mario has the best chance of being the poisoner, along with pezus. Only pezus is suspected by my mains, and Mario is unsuspected. Spurge could be a crazy wild card SK who kills them all though.

You're a tracker who wouldn't use his role.

scum.

The only question now is whether you can redirect roles into stefl or whether you're just trying to make people suspect him.

still pezus for what I consider an odd reaction to my vote for him day 1 given how he had interacted while voicing suspicion of me prior to the vote.

prof still has some very bad logic regarding me, but I think before he only meant to pressure mario to get some responses while never intending to let me go. So still bad, but more town I guess.

I think I had DT on my list the last time I was asked, but that's not founded on anything I guess. It would just be cool if the three votes of my first post all turned out to be scum.

I know I'm expected to have more on people by now, but I haven't had my heart or head in the game. "Vanilla" is actually one of my favorite roles, but the no flip deal simply isn't my cup of tea.

Who did you visit last night linkz. I know you were out and about.

I took no action. Obviously if I was scum I'd have re-directed zero, especially if mantle and Stefl are town as you suppose. See, logic. Use it.
