I can never seem to keep up with this game. ☹ Something has been bothering me about the Angel/Prof. thing and I went back (another reason I can’t keep up) and reread that discussion. Re-reading the following two posts crystallized my unease: > [@Mafia Reunion - Day Three](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/mafia-reunion-day-three/778068/832): > > You’re right that contradictions never stopped me. 😉 But let me be clear. > > \*\*Every time he’s been scum prior to this he’s fooled me. > \*\* > He’s never made an apology like this. > > My unshakeable faith stems from the apology. > > Re shenanigans, I’m happy with my vote on Boozahol Squid but I’m not letting Prof go down without a fight. So if he becomes the front runner I’m switching my vote again to Idle. Bolding mine, red text Angel’s > [@Mafia Reunion - Day Three](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/mafia-reunion-day-three/778068/865): > > I don’t know how to explain it to you. I respect you greatly but we’re on different planets with playstyle. **You won’t be able to judge this until you see his reveal, and mine.** > > Keep in mind what Biotop said, though. Unless you think Prof P and I are both members of the same scum team (and if you do, I understand that, but upon reveals it will be shown to be untrue), I can’t know (for sure) what he is. > > If I’m scum from the other team what would my motive be for fighting so hard to save him? It’s not to make me look townie because I could very well be on the other scum team under these circumstances. There’s no benefit to me (as scum from another team). My benefit would be to just let him hang. > > If you think we’re scum from the same team, this is contrary to every element of my scum playstyle, what I’m doing now. But you have no way of knowing that. You’ll see when I’m revealed. > > I’m fighting my ass off for him because I’m virtually certain he’s a mislynch and I don’t want to see any more mislynches. I’m not fighting my ass off for Idle because I could see Idle flip either way, and because I share your assessment of his play crossing the line into abusive here. > > There’s a possibility I’m wrong about Prof. P. I know that and if I’m wrong I’m going to have a real problem because people will jump to the conclusion I’m his scum teammate. > > When I say unshakeable faith, I am confident enough in my abilities to know when town is telling the truth that I’ve put myself on the line for him. I can’t know it objectively but I know it subjectively enough to make a big inconvenient fuss about it. Bolding mine again. At the time these two posts appeared to me to be a soft claim by \*\*Angel \*\*that she was in the cult and had investigated the Prof. and found him to be a cult member too. Then \*\*Angel \*\*turned up dead and VT. I didn’t originally twig to the contradiction between her reveal and my prior assumptions about them until I went back and reread. Given my feelings about the Lutha: Leave them alone and let scum sort them out. I have been giving the **Prof**. a buy, but not anymore. Especially after his driveby smear of my voting record. I did not join a townie bandwagon three days in a row. I was one of the first to voice my suspicions of \*\*ToeJam \*\*Night Zero, and voted him for three days straight. I unvoted him when he claimed although I thought his reasoning for his actions was extremely questionable. And yes I voted for \*\*Idle \*\*during his melt down. I was on the verge of resigning from the game at that point. **Prof. Pepperwinkle** --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/mafia-reunion-day-4/778699)._
