I know the vote is over and I lost. Congrats to Justin and Kayla, btw. But I feel inclined to prove my innocence.
The three most recent votes were for Superpenguin, all at the same time. I'm calling bullcrap on this one, so those three votes are on my suspicion list, as well as Superpenguin. And Kayla, still. Until she can prove me otherwise.
I have all ready revealed I am aligned to town. Take of that as you will, but I am being totally honest. Something you may want to look at is activity. There is still a mafia chat in this round, and players are going to be using their time up chatting about current happenings in there as well. I've been active in this thread whenever I've been able to, just as active as I was in the Observer Chat.
I didn't notice this in the beginning but within the first couple hours of the game even starting SP was very insistent the role of Mayor should go to Kayla (specifically this post:
http://www.belltreeforums.com/showt...afia-Strike-Back/page33&p=1984183#post1984183) while shooting down other members on why they
shouldn't be mayor such as AndyB and Justin.
When Kayla started getting votes, I knew that would end up coming around back at me, especially if Kayla ever flips red. :/ Going off of Kayla's great activity and her old posts in the Obs Cat, I felt she would be a good mayor. But she was also the candidate I believed with most confidence was town(This post was before her roleclaim keep in mind). Like I said before, she has proved continuously active here just like she had done in the Obs Chat(Even more active) I feel if she was mafia, she'd be trying to lead the mafia in the Mafia Chat while posting a lot less here.
That seems like it's going to be wasting a lot of our time and probably a few of our fellow town members. I don't think it's the best idea to wait around for blatantly obvious evidence, that's a good way to get us all killed.
I guess this contributed to my loss of the election since I wasn't on here to clear things up on my views.
I wasn't looking for "Blatantly obvious evidence", I was just looking for strong enough evidence. Also, I don't find this game to be very easy on the town with lurkers in the game. Lurkers don't benefit the town even if they are aligned to town, thus I made the point if there's no solid evidence, we target lurkers.
Seriously, what would happen when we get to the end, the mafia picked off the top contributors with the only top contributors remaining being mafia members, and then there are several lurkers from the beginning of the game that just flew under the radar. Are those lurkers going to go read through some posts and make decisions for themselves? No, they'll follow the top contributors which are possibly be mafia.
