First and foremost, if you read all of my posts thoroughly you would know that I was really against no lynch. I did state in post #215 that my vote would go to Esphas if no better candidate come up. Even though I was town leaning Esphas, and was more suspicious of Xerolin, #no lynch would happen if I voted for her instead. Not to mention, my 'evidence' against Xerolin wasn't strong enough for me to start a lynch on her. And there was also still a sliver of doubt in me that Esphas could be using a safe claim just like what Cadberry did in AoT. I was holding off voting until the very last minute (Post #273) to see if we could agree on a better candidate but it wasn't happening and I'd much rather mislynch than not lynching. It might seem like a stupid reason but I stand by it. I don't have another 48 hours to waste to be honest. Yes I admit I'm guilty of sacrificing him and precisely because of that, my reaction to him flipping town was not an overreaction at all. I was feeling really bad about it.
You see, if some of the players had contributed more to the thread during the 48 hours, we could have more to work with. Think of it this way: If we had no lynch, we'd probably have to wait another 48 hours with the same 6-7 people posting again. There wouldn't be much progress, sadly. Right now it looks like some of the players came on in the last few hours to vote (for a no lynch) and then disappeared right after. Might I add 3 didn't vote at all. I was paranoid that nothing would change on D2 with no lynch. At least looking at the Esphas lynch bandwagon can give us something to work with. I like progress and this is progress.
Also, I know you had a legit reason for not posting, but some were avoiding this thread while posting in others.
whereas i fully agree with trying to ramp up the activity on the thread because it was quiet, i still find it confusing that you weren't reading esphas as sus initially but then voted to lynch him anyway - but that's probably just because i don't see eye-to-eye with you on the topic of no lynch (mostly on the basis that i would prefer to vote no lynch than vote to lynch for the sake of lynching somebody.) however i'm much less suspicious of your reaction to the mislynch now that i've heard your reasoning.
Morning! <: I need to type this up fast since I have work soon LOL But I don't think I'll be able to reply much at all once I'm at work xD Normally I have my lunch break at 12pm or 12:30pm rip ahaha, but anyways, in the bolded part that I bolded up above, I wasn't eager to pin a suspicion on anyone, I was more eager to get the thread started and going since the thread wasn't moving at all. The only person who actually tried to really get the thread going was shiida (and thanks to Esphas, we were able to move the thread along between my questioning and Esphas's) I asked a lot of question to gather more information judging by their responses and it's something we can use in the long run when we need to look back. As for my reaction, I don't think it's an overreaction at all for my part. xD I mean if you gathered a case on someone and you are set to lynch them because of your suspicions of them and they turned out town, yeah, I'll feel like **** and want to crawl into a hole and hide LOL As I've told others, this mindset isn't bad to have since mafia members are trying to blend in as town. Though I want you to keep in mind that if I wasn't being active, the thread wouldn't have moved much at all and we would have had a lot less information to work with :')
obviously this is pretty irrelevant now since you were killed by mafia (!!!!! and since you flipped town we're going to miss your contributions to the discussion eek) i feel pretty bad since i scumleaned you but i can't feel too bad because your death isn't down to lynch/could not be controlled by town but ): you're very good at pursuing leads and getting reads of people so you played a good game even though it unfortunately got cut short!
When someone scumleans all your townleans ��
that's what's fun and complicated about mafia - if everybody had the same suspicions as everybody else, it wouldn't be as fun and would be too easy!
but hey, we're one mafia member down! obviously since i'm not overly familiar with all the roles yet i don't know whether it was a vig or whatever but only losing one person to mafia and killing a mafia member on the first night is a pretty good position to be in i think. it's past 11 here now (ended up staying out later than expected lmao) but i'll finish my reads for everybody in the morning!
